Signs na kulang ka sa vitamin C.

1. Sobrang dry ang balat at buhok. ๐Ÿงด

2. Madali kang magkapasa. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Konting tama lang sa balat o minsan kahit wala namang tama, konting pressure lang sa balat eh magkakapasa pa rin.

3. Madaling dumugo ang gilagid pagnagtu-toothbrush. ๐Ÿชฅ

4. Mababa ang energy levels mo kahit sapat ang tulog at kain mo. ๐Ÿ˜ซ

If you put a chicken ๐Ÿ—in the oven, it goes from pink to brown, right? ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸคŽ

You've seen this. It cooks. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ

This process of cooking is called GLYCATION๐Ÿ’ก

It's the process of browning or of cooking.

Same thing when you toast a piece of toast, for example. ๐Ÿž

The interesting thing is, a human being from the moment we're born, we're slowly cooking in that same way on the inside.

We're slowly glycating, we're slowly browning. ๐ŸŸค

And then when we're fully glycated, when we're fully cooked, we die.

That's why when you look at the cartilage of babies, it's white, ๐Ÿฆดand if you look at the cartilage of somebody who's 90 years old, it's brown. ๐Ÿฉป

They've cooked on the inside.

And every glucose spike increases this process of glycation, so much so that glucose and glycation, they kind of sounds like a similar word, glucose glycation. ๐Ÿซ

It's because it's glucose doing the glycating.

So every glucose spike increases glycation, increases cooking, accelerates aging. ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿผ

And this shows on your skin, you get wrinkles faster, if you glycate more, and also on the inside, your organs slowly get damaged. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ€

So, glucose spikes, you age faster. ๐Ÿฅ€

As of late May 2025, the Philippines is addressing a resurgence of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), with confirmed cases reported in several regions.

Health authorities emphasize preventive measures, including:
โœ… Regular handwashing
โœ… Wearing masks in crowded areas
โœ… Seek medical attention if symptoms appear.

The Department of Health (DOH) is actively conducting contact tracing and monitoring close contacts of confirmed cases. ๏ฟผ

Public Health Advisory: Monkeypox (Mpox)

Situation Update:

As of May 27, 2025, the Philippines has reported several cases of monkeypox (now officially termed mpox) throughout 2025.

Specific numbers for May are not readily available in the provided sources.

However, reports indicate cases in various locations including Zamboanga City (a 3-year-old girl on May 26th), and earlier cases in Davao del Sur (May 22nd). Earlier in the year, Senator B**g Go issued warnings following confirmed cases and a fatality in Davao City in April.

The Department of Health (DOH) continues to monitor the situation. Testing for mpox is available for free in government hospitals .

What is Mpox?

Mpox is a viral zoonotic disease.

It is transmitted through close contact with an infected person or animal, or with contaminated materials.

Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, and a characteristic rash that progresses through stages (macules, papules, vesicles, pustules, and crusts).

The incubation period is typically 1-3 weeks.

The contagious period lasts until scabs have fallen off and a new layer of skin has formed (2-4 weeks).

While usually mild, severe cases can occur, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

Treatment is primarily supportive care; antiviral medications used for smallpox may be considered in severe cases .

Prevention and Control:

- Avoid close contact with individuals exhibiting symptoms.
โ€‹
- Practice frequent handwashing with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Soap and water effectively deactivate the virus .
โ€‹
- Avoid touching or handling potentially contaminated materials.
โ€‹
- If you suspect you may have mpox, seek immediate medical attention. Testing is free in government hospitals .

Additional Recommendations:

- Stay informed about the latest updates from the DOH.
โ€‹
- Follow their guidelines and recommendations.
โ€‹
- Early detection and prompt medical care are crucial in managing mpox cases and preventing further spread.

Anti-aging diet for women on their 40's๐Ÿ‘‡

Kahit normal ang BP mo, pwede ka pa ring ma-stroke!

kung sobra-sobra sa process foods ang kinakain mo. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Tulad ng hotdog, ham, delata at iba pa.
Lahat yan loaded sa asin. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Ang high sodium intake ay pwedeng sirain yung mga maliliit na ugat sa utak. ๐Ÿง 

Kahit wala kang high blood.

Isang pack ng noodles, 1,700 mg agad ng sodium. ๐Ÿซฃ

Two piece chicken meal sa fast food, 1,500 mg to 2,100 mg. ๐Ÿซฃ

Two hotdogs, 1,000 mg to 1,400 mg. ๐Ÿซฃ

At hindi pa kasama diyan yung mga
condiments na ginagamit niyo pampalasa.

Ang sodium limit lang per day, 2,000 mg. โœ…

Pero ang average Pinoy, inaabot ng 3,300 mg araw-arawโ€ผ๏ธ

Kaya kung iniisip mong safe ka dahil normal ang BP mo, hindi sapat yun.

Kung hindi mo babawasan ang alat at hindi ka kakain ng balanced meals in controlled portions,
10 to 20 years from now, baka hindi ka nagbabakasyon sa beach kundi sa ICU dahil na-stroke ka. ๐Ÿ˜ข
