where I blog about the fun things I do to entertain myself…

birds of the same feather

In our recent lunch out with the family, we couldn’t help but notice the group seated next to our table – four huge and fat (is that being redundant?) women! My dad was apparently spying on them and what they were eating. He said that they each have two cups of rice and they ordered [...]


oh no dengue!

The dengue fever is causing a scare in the country. Lots of cases and deaths (most especially of children) have already been reported. Being a mom of two small kids, I am also concerned. Aside from keeping our garden clean, we let the kids drink their daily dose of vitamin C too to keep their [...]


Going over my vacation wardrobe

As I go through my clothes to be packed up for our upcoming vacation, I’m reminded that some of them don’t fit me anymore; I wonder if I should lose weight. As I said “I’m not fat, I just have a big tummy.” He he. I’ve gone through apidexin reviews, apidexin being claimed to be [...]


i heart dobrá máma

Dobrá máma is a Czech phrase which means good mama.  It’s the name of yoghurt I love to eat.  I got to taste it first when it was served during breakfast in the hospital where I gave birth to my second child.  I liked the vanilla flavor and since then I always stock on it [...]


to get slim thru fat burners?

As I look at myself in the mirror, I’ve noticed that since I gave birth to my second baby, I have not gone back to my former “cute” body build. I sometimes do exercise, but this is not consistent, what with two youngsters (a nearly 3-year-old girl and a five-month-old baby) now to attend to. [...]


obesity health risks

Losing weight is one great problem for obese people. They are that “huge” as they could not control eating, by themselves. Being obese, i.e. having too much body fat, poses a health risk factor. An obese person is more likely to acquire diabetes, arthritis, and some cancers as well as being prone to heart disease [...]


don’t forget to consider the risk factors!

Treating obesity in patients with risk factors can be a challenge. It may be that the patient has diabetes, high blood pressure, or the levels of his cholesterol may be high. Thus, when one plans to go into a diet with an aim to losing weight, he has to be careful, and involve his doctor. [...]


weight-conscious

Nowadays, almost everybody is concerned about their health, thus needless to say, diet-conscious as well. It follows also that when one is mindful about his/her figure, it goes together with being aware of what food he takes into his body system. I know of some people who are so careful about what they eat, even [...]


just a simple urine test instead of colonoscopy?

Here’s some promising news in the medical world. Just a simple urine test might be all that’s needed to help diagnose colon cancer. A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina are studying urine samples from 123 people (60 subjects with colon cancer and 63 without) to determine the differences in composition and [...]


tea and dental health

Aside from being an antioxidant and stress-reliever, tea has other numerous health benefits. For instance, popular movie personalities endorse herbal slimming teas, you’d think they’re taking the best diet pills with their slender figures. Also, studies in Japan have shown that drinking green tea may improve dental health particularly reducing the risk of periodontal disease. [...]
