Paying for Metabolic Syndrome

“A lifestyle is what you pay for,” wrote Thomas Leonard, founder of Coach University in 1992 and a major contributor to the development of personal coaching. And there are many health costs paid in unhealthy lifestyle. These costs include what clinicians call the “metabolic syndrome” (MS).

    I know the perfect way to prevent MS!!!

    Kesha : P. Diddy Parody unrhymed

    "Wake up in da morning, swing ur legs, and, jog. Take a real cold shower, then eat an, apple and some cereals, go and get a bicycle, then learn, how to use it - next u should go cycle to work, so you won't, be, late... go home on the bicycle and if you don;t feel safe, take a course at Aikido to stop burglars on the take, yipyip, then when you are at home, watch TV while on the treadmill - and repeat this every day (Don;t forget healthy lunch and dinner uhuh)"

    How's dat for an explanation.. want simpler? Get your a** out of the couch and shake it, man! Ain't that right, ZIM?

    By the way, have you ever heard about yummy-cebu.com? I hear they just started a new contest called Mama's day out!

    Hmmm... That's interesting; Mama's day out, I mean. And if you connect that to MS, then I can only imagine mothers running all day long for a healthy tummy armed with yummy fruit and veggie salads for good new health's sake.

    Metabolic problems are what I call the earliest indicators of a worsening health from an unhealthy lifestyle. The only way to continue to stay up is to simply stay up and about. Diet is one huge culprit for MS, even more than lack of exercise. The food simply turns us into who we're going to be... eventually.

    I believe a food rich in organic fruits and vegetables will be of prime option here for still physically fit individuals. When problems have already set it, then exercise becomes a must.

    Thanks Kesh for dropping some lines.

POST-PRESS: Narcissistic Disorder, Ground for Annulment

Pyschiatric evaluation show a diagnosis of NPD with anti-social features, from her involvement in a shoplifting incident, her closeness to and trips abroad with her male students, and a kissing incident with a co-professor. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder Fourth Edition (DSM IV-TR) enumerated nine indicators of NPD, with only five of them needed for the diagnosis. It is not clear however which indicators have been found in the case of the Tañada annulment case. The Archdiocese of Manila also declared their canonical marriage void ab initio (void from the start) due to "gra

Sex Industry Weathers Financial Crises

Varmus Christopher Forbes.com 12/29/08 14:00:05 GMT The sex industry traces back to 500 B.C., when traders from the Greek port of Miletus sold olisbos, an early version of the dildo. Today, the business of sex (including pornography) now runs into the tens of billions of dollars. (No official estimates are available; Wall Street analysts don't tend to track this stuff.) And while print and video sales are ebbing, as more free adult content has become available online, sales of un-reproducible sexual aids are still healthy. "Of course, there's concern about the economy, but right now our sales are growing," says Michael Trygstad, founder of Wet, a lubricant manufacturer in Van Nuys, Calif. "We've grown 30% this year alone. We've had to completely automate our factories to meet the tremendous demand. People are deciding to stay at home and engage in inexpensive entertainment.'' Slick marketing--and the ability to shop anonymously online--helps, too

POST-PRESS: Filipinos Get Vitamin C from Vegetables

The DOST Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) recently issed a survey showing that 34 to 53 percent of Vitamin C consumed among Filipinos came from vegetables. Fruits merely contribute around 19 to 29 percent as a source. More than 50 percent of Vitamin C intake among adults, the elderly, and lactating women came from vegetables. Adolescent and pregnant women comprised 42.2 and 41.7 percent, respectively. Children have the lowest use of vegetables as Vitamin C source, contributing only 34.6 percent to diets among 6-12 agers and 17,2 percent among those ageing 6 months to 5-year olds. Vitamin C-rich vegetables include leafy greens like malunggay, ampalaya, petsay, saluyot, peppers (red and green), sitsaro and raw cabbage.
