Grade 2 walong taon palang, apat na bata ang inaalagaan. Grade 6 labing dalawa na ako, kasing dami na ng pamilya ko. Sabi mo pasensya na, walang pera kaya magdrop out ka. Ina ko sabi mo kami'y mahal nyo, aray ko bat di kayo nagplano. Sana di gutom at nag aaral pa, alaga't malusog ang buong pamilya.

I saw this video about how the food industry labels their food and what nutrition is or is not in your food. Great info for those who want to eat healthier.

This is the unhappy truth about soda: http://therealbears.org It wasn't so bad when soft drinks were the occasional treat. But now sugary drinks are the number one source of calories in the American diet. With one third of America overweight and another third obese, it's a wonder anyone is still swallowing what the soda companies are selling. Big soda companies have billions of dollars to tell their story, but we have each other. Oh, and we have the truth. Help The Real Bears spread the truth about soda by sharing the film.

80 percent of obese children are likely to become obese adults, according to a 2011 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. We can stop the cycle. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is on the frontlines of the childhood obesity epidemic in Georgia. Learn more about how to be Strong4Life at www.Strong4Life.com.

You think you're in shape? I bet you can't beat this guy. He's 91 years old apparently. Of course, he also probably injected himself with HGH. But still impressive. You know what's also impressive? Sylvester Stallone. He's 65 years old and he's what he looks like now. Note: I have to apologize, both photos have been removed from the source. So as a replacement, I give you a video of Sylvester Stallone working out. Update: I found new photos of the 91 year old body builder. His name is Charles Eugster. Here are some articles I found on him. Article 1 and article 2 which are the source of the photos.

I saw this photo and message going around Facebook last night. Please note, I did not write this letter or do I own this photos. I'm just posting the whole thing entirety. A friend said that this person is a friend of a friend so has nothing to gain from posting this photo so she said that she believes this to be true. This was also posted on the Inquirer . A Break-Up letter from an Upset customer Dearest ChickBoy, I've been a biggest fan of you. I love your chicks, I love your boys. I love your chicken and i love your baboys, I even love your nilasing na hipon and your sinigang sa miso na salmon. I chose to have an affair with you because you seemed to have a cool place plus the staff seems to be nice and definitely you've got good food! You were my trophy then. I tried to brag you around my friends.I can see how they envy me whenever i am with you. Pero ngayon ko lang nakilala ang totoong CHICKBOY. Kung sino ka, at kung pano mo ko tratuhin. Dalawang lin...

1. Hot dogs - Because they are high in nitrates,the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate. 2. Processed meats and bacon - Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer. 3. Doughnuts - Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. 4. French fries - Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acrylamides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams . 5. Chips, crackers, and cookies - All are usu...

Many food additives have been studied and linked to various diseases. Becoming informed about the additives in everyday food items can make for an easier shopping experience and healthier food for everyone. Here’s a list of some of the most medically questionable and harmful additives in everyday foods: Sodium nitrite BHA & BHT Propyl gallate Monosodium glutamate Trans fats Aspartame Acesulfame-K Food colorings (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow) Olestra Potassium bromate White sugar Sodium chloride (salt) Since some of these may not be familiar to you, sodium nitrite is a preservative added most commonly to bacon, ham, hot dogs, sandwich meats, and smoked fish. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are other preservatives added to foods like cereal, gum, potato chips, and vegetable oils. Propyl gallate is found in meats, chicken soup base, and gum. All of these preservatives have been linked to cancer. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) can cause migraines and other adv...

I got this from a forwarded e-mail. Don't know if this is true. ================= It's long but very informative We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.. FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of...

My previous post was about healthy oils but the content was about fats. So how is this related to the title? Well, in my research, I wanted to see how the fats in the oil helps in maintaining good health. So what is the judgement? Olive oil - good for salads, pan fry or light cooking with medium to low heat. Low poly-unsaturated fat content. High mono-unsaturated fat. So low to medium heat will not change the fat into trans fat. But high heat will. Virgin Coconut oil - good for salad, light cooking to deep frying. The hight saturated fat content doesn't make it turn into trans fat. Canola oil - light cooking to deep frying. High mono-unsaturated fat, low poly-unsaturated. So good for cooking. Flaxseed oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only. Safflower oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only....

So I was talking about saturated fats on my previous post, this one is about unsaturated fats. Unsaturated Fats "Saturated" means it is saturated with hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fats is a fat in which there are one or more double bonds in the fatty acid chain. There are two types of unsaturated fats. Mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated. Good source of mono-unsaturated fat is olive oil, avocado, nuts (macadamia, peanuts, almonds, pistachios). Fats are generally good if they come from whole, natural and unprocessed foods. Fats become bad if they become damaged. Fats are damaged by heat, light and oxygen. High heat and chemicals used by manufacturers to process oils damages fats. The most damaging process is partial hydrogenation (adding hydrogen). Hydrogenation is used to convert liquid vegetable oils to solid or semi-solid fats such as those present in margarine. This makes the oil last longer and is usually preferred for baking or deep frying as it acts as a preservative...

Part of my research for healthy living is looking for the right kinds of oil to cook and eat with. Of course, the easiest one to change to is olive oil. But Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is not a good oil to cook with especially for deep frying. So I had to do some research. I've learned about the benefits of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) before but there's a lot of information out there against it. So I dug deeper. Fortunately, new research on VCO has shed some light into it. The main proponent against coconut oil is from misinformation my the US vegetable oil producers to label "Tropical oils" meaning coconut oil or palm oil as bad because it was full of saturated fats. They labeled soy, sunflower and safflower oil as better because it is low in saturated fat, high in unsaturated fat. What they didn't say that it was not as simple as that. As in any type of fats, there is a difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat. Saturated Fats The term "saturated...
