Your Heart Tip#1-Avoid Fried Foods

I've heard many cases of heart problems these days especially heart attacks and the sudden increase in the fluctuation of blood pressure which they call as high blood pressure. Some of it can be due to too much heat in this summer season, overfatigue, vices or sometimes in the food that we eat. I learned that for those prone to the mentioned sickness they should avoid fried foods. They are high in fat and calories.

When shopping for food look for products with a low percentage of saturated fat. It's very important to avoid it. It is better to substitute products that have unsaturated fats in them. Also totally avoid products that contain or are fried in palm oil or coconut oil. Although these oils don't actually have cholesterol in them, they prompt your body to produce cholesterol. Be sure to read the labels on everything so you'll know what to buy and what to avoid. Prevention is better than being hospitalized.

All You Need Is Faith

It is tested time and again that faith is the strongest thing that can make mountains move. It can make all things possible we only have to believe it can happen. It's the only weapon we had when the head of our second child Gen (who was barely two years old then) enlarged and was believed to develop hydrocephalus. We didn't look to anyone but God only and His merciful grace that He will not let our child be afflicted with that sickness. The whole church had a group prayers in each location we reside and after three days the swelling of the head was gone. No treatment, no medicine but just prayers, faith and trust to God. It's a miracle that I'll forever share to everyone because in those moments of anxiety and fear God proved His love on us. In life all you need is faith in God and He'll provide. Praises to Him.

Getting Healthier!

I dropped by big brother house to inquire about his two sons’ graduation and some activities. Mom wanted to know about his eldest son Raphael’s entrance exam in Mapua and stories on their travel to provinces. My sis and I are living in one house so she always want to be updated with big brother’s family whereabouts because he’s a little far from where we live, well not really far – just 10 minutes walk actually! Being only three siblings we want to know everything about each other and we grew up like that.

Anyway I’m glad I dropped because I learned about something good for the body. Big bro and SIL is into colon cleansing and natural means of getting off unwanted pounds and I saw the fast results in my brother’s stomach. He looks very healthy too. What’s good about it are the natural and safe ingredients. Will tell it when I tried it myself.

Investment Plans

I'm thinking of converting our front yard into commercial spaces for rent to help us with additional income for the kids’ studies instead of our earlier plans to put up a meat products shop. Plans changes with the coming of months and it all depends on the current life situation and the business trends. I thought that the store I want to put up may take up my time so I decided to concentrate on my current source of income and just invest on something for extra source of finances aside from the commercial space we intend to build.

I also thought of buying small stocks but I don’t know anything about stocks. I came upon site that offers investment that offers the investors to buy gold bars and I think that it’s a good idea. Investing on precious metals like gold is a good assurance that you’ll have a very good return of investment in the years to come.

Help in Growing Up Fast

We were browsing my little boy’s graduation pictures and we’ve noticed that Josh has slightly increased some height. Well it’s not that obvious because he’s really small for his age but I’m happy now that I see some progress. Well some people grow up fast and we must admit that some needs human growth hormone supplements to help them increase height or grow up fast.

I know that height can also be attributed to genetic background so I know that my little boy will grow and increase some height. For now I’m happy that he’s grown up as a charming, bright and nice little boy.

An Ounce of Prevention

I had a chat with one of my former office friends and we talked about the good old days in the consultancy company we worked for. Those days were really happy ones although our job was a tough one always beating the deadlines. Well we just laughed about it now that we’re both out of it. Since we’re not getting any younger we shared some health regimen that we thought could help us both now. I told her I’ve been eating at least 2-3 kind of fruits a day to somehow cleanse my system and give me a healthy glow. I’ve been reading some colon cleanse reviews lately and I’m deeply concerned with these colon cleansing diet.

We already had a colon sickness history in my mother’s side so I’m seriously studying some facts about it. It’s a great help knowing things like these because I know that knowledge can give us prevention on acquiring sickness. As they say an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Caring About Our Eyes

Before the holy week I was thinking of how hectic my schedule was for the last two weeks. Some blogging marathon at night gives me some tired eyes so if I can help it I wouldn’t work at night to prevent it. Anyway it’s not a problem really as there are remedy or lotion to remove dark circles under eyes so I’m not worried anymore. Besides I can also make use of my grandma’s old way of treating it and it’s putting some cucumber on my eyes to refresh them. I’ve tried it lots of times and it has done good thing for my tired eyes.

My New Additional Memory

I bought an additional 1GB memory for my computer last week but I haven’t installed it yet due to a very busy schedule which I can call a hectic one. Bigger capacity of random access memory is very important especially if you’re visiting many sites. Before I purchased an additional memory for my desktop I canvassed for the brand and price so I‘ll know which is the better choice for me. I also need to find some details and prices of mac memory for a friend’s computer.

We both need an upgrade in memory because we love visiting several sites and our existing memories are not enough for the tasks I’m always doing. Anyway when I bought my PC I’m just a new kid in blogging and didn’t know that I need to have a good traffic for my sites. I should have bought the maximum memory capacity then. Well now that I bought my new RAM next week I’ll install it when I have the time.
