Shopaholic
What is a shopaholic? According to Wikipedia it is a slang term for oniomania, or compulsive shopping. This person can’t control himself from shopping. Well, who doesn’t want to shop. Bet everyone of us has a tendency of being one especially when you’re well-off. My favorite place in a department store is the women’s shoes section and the kids’ apparels section.
I remember when I met a shopaholic when I was a Sales Clerk in Sta. Lucia Department Store (children’s department) years back. I kept on asking myself what she’s doing with those apparels? Aren’t her cabinets full yet? Just can’t believe that there’s such a person as shopaholic.
How is Your Health
Nowadays, a lot of people are suffering from different illnesses. There’s this hypertension, diabetes, urinary tract infection, tuberculosis, kidney problems, gallstones, cirrhosis etc… Have you ever wonder where it came from? Is it from our poor eating habit? Lack of exersice? Which made us physically unfit? I guess YES… and to avoid this we must exercise, educate on what to eat and not, take Apidexin to eliminate those excess fats, spend time in a health spa, etc…
We must be aware and conscious on our bodies’ needs to be healthy. I know it’s not easy to take care of it, but if we love our family and ourselves, we must have an extra effort to do so. And so the saying goes… “Health is Wealth”.
Fight Yeast Infection Naturally
Yeast infection or the overgrowth of Candida fungus is a common problem for women. If you have this infection, you know the difficulty of suffering from itching and burning sensation around your genitals. And worst, the infection keeps coming back, giving you more misery and annoyance. Seek medical help to ease your sufferings and at the same time you have the option to fight yeast infection naturally.
Here are some tips on how to fight yeast infection:
Clean your underwear thoroughly. If you already have yeast infection, you must wash your undergarments thoroughly to kill the fungus before wearing them again. Soaking them in bleach and then washing them using unscented soap will kill the Candida fungus. Pressing your clean underwear with a hot iron will also kill the fungus.
Keep your genitals clean and dry. Candida fungus thrives on warm and moist environment and the vagina is a good home for them. Avoid tight fitting clothes that will promote sweating and will not allow air to circulate. Choose underwear made of cotton because it absorbs moisture to keep you dry. At night give your genital area a relief by sleeping naked or remove your underwear and let air circulation on your vaginal area to keep it dry and cool.
Avoid scratching when you feel the burning itching sensation. This could be difficult but over the counter medicines to fight yeast infection could give immediate relief to lessen the itching until you get a professional advice or prescription medicine to totally get rid of the infection.
To fight yeast infection, use unscented products and avoid scented feminine hygiene products because it irritates the vagina and will promote itching. The vagina has a self-cleaning property, wash your vaginal area with plain water.
One reason why women are prone to infection is because the anus is too close to the vaginal area. To fight yeast infection wipe from front to back after bowel movement and avoid touching the vaginal area.
Avoid sweets. Sugar feeds yeast, so avoid sweets to prevent over growth of Candida fungus. Control sugar from your diet to fight yeast infection.
Lactobacillus acidophilus in yogurt helps fight yeast infection naturally. The live cultures in yogurt help balance the candida fungus which is naturally present in our body to prevent infection. Eat unsweetened yogurt.
Boost your immune system to fight yeast infection. Nothing beats a healthy body and a strong immune system. Eat a well-balanced diet, get enough sleep, have a regular exercise and avoid stress to boost your immune system.

Gallbladder Removal
Holiday Season is over and can’t forget that I spent my Christmas Eve in the hospital. Yes! you read it right. In the hospital! I watched over my brother together with my sister-in-law who suffered from cholelithiasis in Victoria Hospital in Marikina. He didn’t undergo cholelithotomy (gallstone removal) but cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) don’t know why not the first surgery instead.
gallstones
Do you wonder how the stones build up?… The gallbladder is not a vital organ, we can live without it. Its function is to store bile, concentrate it, and release it during digestion. Bile is supposed to retain all of its chemicals in solution, but commonly one of them crystallizes and forms sand, gravel, and finally stones.
My brother also tried natural way to dissolve the stones before but didn’t work out maybe because his stones are already huge. Do you wonder how the operation like?
You gotta watch this… cholecystectomy
I had goosebumps while watching this video, can’t even imagine it happened to my brother and may happen to me too. So if you’re a person who’s fond of eating foods which contain lot of cholesterol and fats??? Better stop the wrong eating habit now!
