One of the TV shows I love watching at night is “The Biggest Loser” Pinoy Edition. This is a franchise show to “The Biggest Loser” that became popular in the United States. Filipinos who are 18-40 years old, in good health and has a weight of more than 250 pounds are qualified to join the reality show. I like the show because it’s very informative as well inspiring. All of the contestants worked so hard spending time in the gym and controlling their food intake. Seeing every contestant lose weight in just a short span of time is so inspiring. Viewers who are taking diet pills would surely believe that indeed it is possible to lose weight.

My mom has just undergone their yearly medical check-up for teachers. This is a yearly requirement for them to check whether they are still fit to teach. In her chest X-ray check-up, it was found out that her heart was enlarged. She has high blood pressure and the heart enlargement was probably caused by it.

She has been taking high blood medications in order to maintain a normal blood pressure. Until now, she has this condition but thank God she is still fit to teach. She is also taking health supplements to help boost her immune system and keep her body stay healthy.

While browsing online, I have found a new health supplement that is perfect for my mom’s health condition. The name of the health supplement is l-arginine plus. This is a good health supplement to naturally fight high blood pressure, stroke, high cholesterol, and heart attack. L-arginine has been found to be effective in many consumers as it reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. I hope I can find L-arginine here in our area. I’m sure this will be good for my mom.

It is my hope that my mom will continue to live a healthy and happy life!

I often watch health related shows on TV and one of the drinks they recommend is the green tea. I am not much of a tea drinker but when I found out that it has numerous benefits for our body, I am now having second thoughts and would definitely consider drinking green tea.

According to studies, green tea helps in the reduction of heart diseases, reduction of bad cholesterol, prevention of the death brain cells and lowers the risk of cancers. Recently, there is a research in the US called “The Green Tea Study” and the result tells that green tea can be a good colon cleanser for the body. Those women who regularly drink green tea were less likely to develop colon cancer.

Drinking green tea can truly bring great benefits for our body. Well, starting today I’m going to buy green tea and make it my daily habit to drink a cup of it everyday.

A week ago, my husband bought an apple cider vinegar at the mall. He used it to help treat his sinusitis and other physical discomforts. He uses 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and mix it with water and drink it. He religiously does this every morning.

He told me to also drink apple cider vinegar but I refused because I’m afraid it can trigger hyper-acidity. But when I found out that apple cider vinegar can help treat acne, I was also serious in drinking it.

While reading information online, apple cider vinegar can work as a skin detox agent in our body. It has cleansing properties and purifying agent that will surely works wonders on the skin. Some of the acne products in the market like acnetox have apple cider vinegar as one of their ingredients.

I am currently drinking apple cider vinegar for two weeks now and I am hoping for positive results in the coming months. Hope it will work on me.

When I was still a little girl, my grandmother would use coconut oil to condition my hair. She told me that it is good for my hair as well as for my scalp. Every week she never fails to massage my hair with coconut oil and my grandmother lovingly to that to me.

The use of coconut oil is now very popular in the market. Businessmen sold it on shops through its popular name – the virgin coconut oil. It is still the same coconut oil I used when I was a little girl, only that it is now more refined in its texture. With the help of the latest technology, coconut oil has been found not only effective for hair care but also in other aspects of the body.

The coconut oil has been found effective for eczema treatment, maintaining cholesterol, weight loss, relief from kidney and many others. Added to that, it has been the choice of many athletes and dieters because it contains less cholesterol which is good for the body.
