Fats and germs - formerly bad stuff are good after all

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola Archives

Two items:  fatty foods and germs were considered bad before. (Myths)

 Fats as the cause of heart disease from the findings of Dr.  Ancel Keys in l953.  Before the study came out, only l/100 Americans were obese.  Now that number is increasing.  The real culprit is transfat and hydrogenated oil.  US literature made coconut oil as unhealthy.  (This caused the almost collapse of coconut industry in the PHL.  Now the buko juice news that it is better than sports drink caused the buko price to jump up to P20.00@ in Laguna, from mere P5.00 two years ago.

The other is the germs is bad.  But germs from fermented food improve gut culture.  And so with yogurt, kefir, They also improve GAPs.

What are the other foods good for the health:

l.  Raw eggs

2. Fermented vegetables --kimchi, atchara

3.  Kefir and other fermented milk

4.  Sardines

5.   Avocado - know more about the rest of healthy foods (Avocado is cheap in the PHL and aplenty)

It takes only 5 seconds to do - and I believe it's one of the most important things you can do for your health.*

I'm talking about getting vitamin D from Sunshine Mist Vitamin D Spray. Sure, it's best to get your vitamin D from natural sunlight or a safe tanning bed, but not everyone has access to a safe bed or can get enough of those healthy UV-B rays this time of year...

While it's estimated that 85% of people may be deficient, vitamin D3 is one nutrient you don't want to skimp on.* It supports your heart, bone, and vascular health, and even supports your immune system.*

If sunlight exposure or the use of a safe tanning bed isn't part of your regular routine, then I recommend you take 5 seconds out of your day for a Sunshine Mist Vitamin D break, each and every day.

Last night's fireworks welcoming new year did not help our wellness and climate

Live healthy and long



This morning, January l, 2013, again as in the previous new year, heavy smoke filled the air.  We do not know the long term effect on our health - specially on the respiratory system.  How many  will have asthma attacks, flu, cold, cancer or other COPD.

I do not know, despite, the Pablo, Ondoy and other super typhoons death and destruction they delivered, as to many people are aware of the connection between pollution and global warming?

None?  Because many of us did what we have been doing, as part of New Year tradition, lighted fireworks and firecrackers to drive evil spirits away.  But we bring in new evil spirits -  disease, ill health, and climate change...

We did not use any firecracker last night.

                                  The night scene from SLEX about 4 nights ago


                                 Can you see anything at the other side of the lake?  Is the air OK?

                                  What is the quality of the air we breathe?


See the trash from fireworks, will they be cleaned up soon?


 x                    Will they wait for the Barangay to clean up?



                                  They were pretty last night, the trash now is ugly


 x                           Smoky white skies result of firecracker smoke?


 x



                                   There is fresh air at Lakeside park?




                               The heron is unaware of the thick smoke surrounding the lake

                               The air was better several night ago;  you can see Alabang from here


Am I wasting my time making this study?

Are these not being seen by people with eyes; or who have eyes who refuse to believe what they see?

I thought we have public sector in charge of protecting environment, the air quality? What are they doing?  When do we act?  The flooding from these, the pain is visible already, we can feel the effect now....Many ill effects on health is growing in number.

When do we act change?

On our part, we can cease from lighting fireworks and crackers on new years day. Walk and commute rather than bring car.
