Salmonella infection...

I just read a while ago at Yahoo News about the Salmonella infection. According to the news, more than 1,000 people became ill from salmonella on Wednesday (yesterday, July 9) and it has been initially linked to raw tomatoes. The incident has become the worst foodborne outbreak in at least a decade.

According to the news, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also urged people at highest risk of severe illness from salmonella to also avoid eating raw jalapeno and serrano peppers. The most vulnerable are the elderly, people with weak immune systems and infants.

I've packed already...

It's already 1:30am here and I'm still awake coz I was just done packing my back for the Poland trip,:) I have to pack early coz I'll be leaving for Ate Bren's place on Friday and I don't want to pack in a hurry. At least, I only need few things and I'll be finally done with my luggage.

I'm taking with me dresses and shorts, that's why my back is not that bulky. I just hope the weather in Poland is nice, if not, then I'll be freezing there,hehehe.

Anyways, my eyes are still watering and the running nose is still on,:) But atleast the sore throat is almost gone,:) I'm really hoping that I'll be well before the trip. I have to sleep very soon.

I am worried....

Hi everyone! I hope all is well with you. I am really worried because I've been feeling the pain in the right side of my waist (lower part) and I've been feeling it for almost a week now. And I always pee with a just a little amount,huhuhuh. I'm worried that there might be something wrong with my kidney or something. But I'm really confused coz I've been drinking a lot of water since then. Maybe my kidney was strained because it has to work ward in disposing all the water that I've been drinking. I'm not really sure. If the condition continues, I'm going to visit my doctor to make sure about things.

Wish me luck!

He's playing badminton once again

I am talking about my boyfriend who is in the Philippines right now. He used to be a member of the Junior Philippine Badminton Association during his college days, but as he started to work as a sales agent, he stopped playing and he started to gain weight,:(

About 2 weeks ago, he confessed something to me that made me mad. He told be that he's been visiting the doctor more often because he collapsed one time at their house. He' also constantly feeling the pain at the back of his neck. He also told me that he was in the borderline of having a high sugar and high cholesterol level before. And the same results were given by the doctor on his latest check-up,:( The doctor gave him a prescription of health supplies to take and advised him to go back to playing badminton, to be active once again. I'm glad coz he obliged with the doctor's advice and he's very eager to go back to his old physique.

Good thing and they have a blood pressure monitor and a body fat monitor at home since his mother has also a history of hypertension and high cholesterol level. I hope that he's health will drastically improve by constantly playing badminton and I hope that he'll lose weight real soon too.

The need for internal cleansing

This post is still related with the detoxification that I've been talking about in the earlier post.

We do always take care of our outside look. We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a regular basis. But I think, it's for us to ask ourselves if we are clean inside? Are our organs clean and free from toxins? Our colon (the ‘sewer system' of the body), liver and other organs also require regular cleaning. Just like a car requires an oil change periodically.

And accroding to http://www.drnatura.com, it's time for us to detoxify our body from accumulated toxins, parasites and other waste materials if we are already feeling the following signs:

- Frequent fatigue and low energy
- Flatulence, gas & bloating
- Excess weight
- Food allergies
- Impaired digestion
- Irritability, mood swings
- Bad breath & foul-smelling stools
- Parasites in stool
- Frequent colds
- Recurring headaches
- Chronic constipation
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Protruding belly ("pooch")
- Powerful food cravings
- Skin problems, rashes, etc.
- Metallic taste in mouth
- Hemorrhoids
- Candida infection

Based on the list above, I really think that I need a detoxification since I'm frequently experiencing fatigue and low enery and irritability and mood swings. :(

How about you?do you think you need a body detox too?

He was having a headache

My brother had a headache earlier today, during our bus trip from their place to Copenhagen. Maybe it's because we slept late lastnight and we only ate bread for breakfast. The weather was also very cold and he was complaining about it. I just hope that he'll get used to the weather and the lifestyle here very soon. Adjustment period is really very difficult. The headache thing progresses to a migraine discussion and we talked about our friends who have been suffering migraine for years. It's really a burden since it's affecting their jobs. So, we really have to take care of our bodies to avoid getting sick. It's not good to get sick especially if you are away from your family. There's no one to comfort you and to take care of you. So, we really have to be extra careful with our health. Health is wealth after all.

Payday Loan for health check ups

Most of the time, we ran out of budget and one of the common reason for this is when a family member gets sick. Well, getting sick is always an unexpected case and when it happens to us, it really makes us worried and panicked especially when it's really a serious illness.

My family had already experienced this kind of situation before. My beloved father was confined in the hospital because he was always coughing. He stayed in the hospital for days, but nothing happens and my mother was not contented with the hospital's service. So, she decided to transfer Papa into another hospital, one with a good reputation, but yet expensive. The doctors found out immediately that Papa has water in his lungs and it's already reaching the 3rd lobe, so it was already very serious. Papa was operated the same day and thanks high heavens and he was already safe. But the other problem was the hospital bill. It was so big since the hospital was expensive. We were realy problematic and glad that Mama was able to get a loan, a very common thing for public school teacher in the Philippines.

If you also need extra cash for emergency health check ups, you can ask help from Payday Loan companies, which are already booming in the market today. Try checking out Payday Loan Rescue, a financial site that offers payday loans with very quick online approval. Just visit their site and try to check their requirements to avail of their Pay Day Loan service.

Tangerine peel could help fight cancer

Researchers said on Wednesday (September 12) that tangerine peel might br of help in the fight against certain cancers. The scientists at Leicester School of Pharmacy found human cancer cells, which contain an enzyme called P450 CYP1B1, were destroyed by a compound contained in tangerine peel, Salvestrol Q40.The findings may offer a new approach to uncovering a treatment for cancers such as breast, lung, prostate and ovarian cancer, the scientists said.

Medicinal chemist Dr. Hoon L. Tan said: "It is very exciting to find a compound in food that can target cancers specifically."Salvestrols may offer a new mechanism of dietary anti-cancer action.

"Indeed, the depletion of salvestrols in the modern diet is due to the fact that many people no longer eat the skin of fruits and this may be a major contributory factor to the increasing incidence of some cancers in the human population."
