We deal with Stress everyday. There’s the emotional stress, job stress, domestic stress, relationship stress, financial stress, physical stress. The danger is we are already adopting stress in our daily lives. There are countless of reasons why people became stressed but the main reason stems from our inability to cope with the situation which is acceptable to us and to our society . 

With this regards, more and more medications are offered in fighting against stress. Most medications are synthetic which we all have lots of side effects. But don’t you know that there are herbal medicines which can combat stress? Yes! I happened to stumble upon a site which offers online anti-stress drugs like Spiritual Powder, Party Enhancers and K6 Herbal Incense. Herbal City LCC products are legal and has the approval from consumers . I have just visited their site and was surprised to find their alternative products which I believe are safe because they are made of herbs. People will surely love their energy booster food supplements. 

If only they are available in our place, their online store would surely be a big hit. Visit their site and see their wide selection of herbal alternatives . I am sure you can not resist to order some of their products.

Being overly occupied with our works will really cause a lot of stress. Having a bad experience will also cause the same. People are trying many ways on how to de-stress themselves. Having a night life are one of their options, specially for the young professionals. However, it does not give them a guarantee that at the end of the day, they will be relieved from all those things that causes them a lot of stress.

The people in the United States have different things in mind. Some prefer to take over-the-counter anti-stress medicines while others prefer herbal medicines to cope up with it. Herbal medicines are mostly preferred because they believe to be more safe and effective. The product line of Herbal City LCC offers this kind. Herbal City LCC is an online company that sells herbal products like K6 Herbal Incense, Spiritual Powder and Party Enhancer. However, their products are restricted to individuals 18 years of age and above Out of curiosity, you can check their sites for their product lists with its variants.

As for me, the best way to cope up with stress is to think positively. After all, we’ve been in different situations and I believe that all things shall come to pass. Being a typhoon victim does not hinder me to move on and maintain that positive outlook in life. We may have to start from scratch in acquiring back all those things that we have invested before which was ruined by the flood, but it gives me enough strength to push through and work harder for it. Life is a choice after all and God is always there to see us through.

Have you heard of Zoloft? It is a medication for treatment of depression. It was approved by the Food and Drug administration in the U.S. in 1991 and was used since then to treat severe depression . Same as other famous drugs in the market, it has also lots of side effects.. most common is the zoloft birth defects . More and more people are asking legal action brought by this drug. So beware!

In the middle of a wedding reception, my mom’s housemaid called us and informed that mom was rushed to the hospital due to high blood pressure. Her BP shoot up to 160/90 which led her to crumple down the floor. Thank God for the immediate response of the medical staff of the hospital, her BP went down to 130/90 when we arrived at the emergency room. Mom’s cholesterol and triglycerides are her problem. She has been to one doctor to another but this problem still prevails. I surfed about her case on the internet once and found out that there are lots of medication in the market today that faces lawsuits. Thousands of people are taking prescription medication to lower cholesterol risking some very dangerous side effects like liver damage, heartburn, degenerates muscle tissue condition and other side effect. Crestor lawsuit is one example. Crestor can result in serious injuries such as heart failure , ventricular dysfunction and can impair kidney function. Thank God mom is not taking Crestor!

Aside from his rowing indoor exercise, my hubby loves to go mountain biking. He has the passion of conquering hills and exploring uncharted places with-in our city. After an exhausting two-hour of this exercise , He sometimes complain of back aches and sprains. I really admire his enthusiasm doing his routine exercise but sometimes I am worried because I know he’s not getting any younger . I told my brother who is a physician about my concern but he told me that strains and sprains are common injuries for bikers. He teased me not worry because he has sports braces in his clinic ready if ever my hubby would encounter such incident again.

My mother-in-law is now 73 years old. We’re glad that even in that age, she still has a very active lifestyle. She regularly exercises and she’s now working as a School director in one of the International schools her in our city. But there are times when she would spend a day or two in the hospital for a regular check-up or an emergency situation.

One time, her secretary called us telling that my mother-in-law was rushed to the hospital because she suddenly collapsed. The doctors found out that she had very low potassium in her body and need an immediate dosage of it. Private hospitals today charged big bills and we’re just glad that my mother-in-law was covered with a health and life insurance for senior citizens . We usually don’t worry for the bills since her insurance company takes care of the covered amount for her hospitalization. It’s really a breather and a blessing for us.

The kids’ school year is now ending and I must admit that we are yearning and looking forward to having ample time of sleep and rest after burning the candle night after night in order to help our kids finish all their school assignment and final exam’s requirements. The projects, research, essays, write-ups, book reports and many others took its toll on our eyes. I and my hubby have dark circles under our eyes! And our friends started to notice it.

What should I do and what is the best advise on how to get rid of dark circles under my eyes ? Honestly, i’m beginning to worry about it. Though my husband encouraged me that in due time, those dark circles will disappear. All we have to do is sleep 7 to 8 hours and it will vanish. But I just want to be sure that the dark circles under my eyes will be gone in time of the wedding of our friend at church.

My cousin who weighs around 240lbs would oftentimes complain if she still could have the chance to slim down and do away with those extra pounds on her body. It all started when she was still a child. My uncle and aunt would give her every food she likes and whenever she wants it. As the first child to be born in their family, my cousin was pampered with everything she likes including food. What resulted is her becoming an obese at an early age.

Now that she’s 30 years old, she would always ask us, her relatives and even her friends as the best weight loss supplements they could suggest in order for her to at least lose some extra pounds. I believe still could do it with extra determination and discipline on her part.

WRITING DOWN NEW YEAR HEALTH RESOLUTIONS

We have decided that  teenage acne treatment is part the of our list of options to our young boy’s acne problem. We are a bit worried seeing those stubborn pimples on the face of our teenage boy. We have tried buying facial cleansers, pimple soap and other pimple treatment for him. We are determined as his parents to keep him from acne trouble. 

We would bring him to a dermatologist for some consultations so we could have the best option in our fight to prevent if not to completely get rid of the acne problem of our young boy.

I have mentioned in my post 2 days ago about the some dreadful diseases brought by the rainy season. One of which is Dengue Fever. What is Dengue? Tiny as they are, mosquitoes can cause so many diseases, from yellow fever to malaria to dengue. It is caused by a virus and is transmitted by a mosquito species called Aedes aegypti. While the disease is more common in tropical countries, 2.5 billion people around the world are now at risk of getting this deadly disease, according to the WHO.

The number of dengue cases has been increasing every year in the Philippines despite prevention programs conducted by the government and health care facilities. In fact, in our city alone, 1000+ dengue cases have been recorded since January 2010. Out of these dengue-stricken patients, 8 succumbed to the disease and died. 

How Can We Prevent It?There are ways to prevent dengue fever. At present, no vaccine has been tested and approved yet, although there is ongoing vaccine research and development. The best way to prevent is to eliminate possible breeding grounds of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes thrive in areas with stagnant water like in basin, pots and pails in your washing areas. Check your drainage and continually flushed out water.

Another prevention method is fogging but according to my brother who is a physician, it is dangerous to one’s health because they are using chemicals that are poisonous and dangerous to health.

You can browse on the net for more preventive measures.

There’s nothing better than staying t home drinking hot coffee or lying in the warmth of your bed all day watching TV while it’s raining outside. The rainy season is here in Cagayan de Oro City and it’s going to stay for good in a long time. Just like last year, it rained almost everyday from September to December.

Beware , the wet season isn’t all hot beverage, warms sheets and indoor fun but it also bring the dreadful diseases like dengue and diarrhea . So be aware of some prevention measure okey?

Praying for her healing. This is not Dengue Fever! In Jesus Name!
