Heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure are just the common forms of cardiovascular diseases.

Heart attack. Like the other body tissues, heart muscle also needs an enough of supply of blood to stay alive. Heart attacks occur when there is a blood clot in a narrowed artery blocking the flow of the blood to the part of the heart muscle.

Left and Right Brains

Though the two halves of the brain look the same, evidence shows that they have totally different functions. The left one controls the right side of the body, and the right brain controls the left side of the body. The two halves of the brain also have different means of thinking. Left part of the halves can be called the logical brain. While you’re reading these words, your left brain comprehends their meaning. It also recognizes groups of letters as words and as group of sentences. Your left brain has the capacity to do the arithmetic. In fact, it’s the left brain that has the same function as a computer. People who excel in math and science use their left brains a great deal.

What does the right brain do then? Whenever you draw a picture or listen to music or recognize a face without putting a name to it, your right brain is the one involved. If the mathematicians use their left, the artist and musicians use their right brains a great deal. This information first started when the doctors began to perform operations to cure epilepsy. The operation has isolated the two halves of the brain and this allowed the researches to study the separate functions of the two halves. With the use of EEG readings, there is more information that are now being gathered about the different functions of the right and left brains.

There is more activity in the left hemisphere when you are writing a letter and in the right hemisphere when you are drawing a picture. There is some nerve activity on both sides during any kind of activity though the activity on one side is usually greater than the other.

Public Health: Familiar with “Love Canal?”

Are you familiar of the story “Love Canal?” Love Canal is a small community located near at Niagara Falls, New York. In 1976, a heavy rains soaked the earth and flooded the basements of the area, soon afterward, gardens began to die, pets became sickly, then the people. Over the next two years, residents had suffered from high rates of miscarriages, birth defects, cancer, and other ailments. Why did this happen?

The Love Canal society had been built in a forgotten toxic dumpsite. And during the flooding, the water was mixed up with the chemicals seeping from the toxic wastes buried there over twenty years earlier. At the end, the President declared the Love Canal as a disaster area. The place is but one of example to show unto us how the environment can affect public health. Tragedies as of this could have been prevented if the environment and public health become everybody’s concern.

What is a Public Health? Public health includes efforts to protect and promote total well – being on an individual, local, state, national, or international level. An organized group of doctors, and other professionals, scientists, public officials, and consumers are working together to achieve better health for everyone.

Now a day, through the Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies, the federal government is involved in every phase of public health. The public health department functions as medical care programs, disease detection, environment health programs, patient facilities and services and lastly as a support services.

In 1948 the United Nations formed the World Health Organization (WHO) to “raise the physical and mental health of all people.” WHO sponsors projects for infectious disease control and immunization in generating countries. The organization also concerned with improving nutrition and sanitation, as well as training public – health.

Tear Hear—ing Loss!

The cure for temporary hearing loss sometimes depends on the reason of the hearing loss. Treatment for it includes using hearing devices.

Proper medication is still important although you and your family may view permanent hearing loss as part of aging. This treatment cannot bring back your hearing, but it makes communication, social interaction, and work even daily activities easier.

Treatment for changeable hearing loss depends on its cause. It is sometimes treated victoriously. Hearing loss caused by:

o Ototoxic medicines (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) sometimes work after you have been stopping taking the medicine.

o An ear infection, sample as a middle ear infection, often heals up on its own, but you still may be needing antibiotics.

o Often an injury to the ear or to the head may heal on its own, or sometimes you may need surgery.

o Disease such as otosclerosis, acoustic neuroma, or Meniere’s disease may really require medicine or surgery.

o Corticosteroid medicines are used to treat to an autoimmune problem, generally by which is the prednisone.

o Earwax is cured by removing the wax. Avoid using a cotton swab or a sharp object to try to remove the wax, for this may push the wax even deeper into the ear and may also cause injury.
For permanent hearing loss, as of age- related and noise- induced hearing loss, hearing apparatus can often improve how well you may hear and communicate. And these apparatus or devices include the following:

o Hearing aids. This device makes sounds louder and clearer. They do not replace your hearing, but they may help you function and communicate more easily.

o Devices such as assistive listening devices, alerting and other communication aids.

Ongoing Treatment for HEARING LOSS

Hearing loss because of earwax or ear infections is generally cured after treating the cause. Work with your doctor if you continue to have a hearing problem in this situation. You may require more remedy or surgery, depending on the cause of your hearing loss.

If you had this permanent hearing loss like age – related and noise – induced hearing loss, you will probably continue to use a hearing aid. Your hearing specialist may recommend occasional hearing tests to see whether your hearing had changed. If the changed had occurred, your hearing aid may need adjustment.

Below are some other hearing devices that you may consider:

· Assistive listening devices. These devices make sounds louder by bringing the sound directly to your ear. You can have different kinds of devices for different cases for example one – on – one conversation and classroom settings or auditoriums. The most common used listening devices include telephone amplifiers, personal listening systems (such as auditory trainers and personal FM systems), and hearing aids that can be connected directly to a television, stereo, radio, or microphone.

· Alerting devices. Devices like this alert you to a particular sound (such as the doorbell, a ringing telephone, or a baby monitor) by using louder sounds, lights, or vibrations to catch your attention.

· Television closed – captioning. Television closed – captioning makes it easier for you to watch television by showing the words at the bottom of the screen so that you can read them.

· TTY (text telephone). TTYs (also called TDD, or telecommunication device for the deaf) let you type message back and forth on the telephone rather of talking or listening. The information is sent over the phone line to a receiving TTY and shown on a monitor when the messages are typed on the TTY keyboard. The one who makes a call possible from a phone to a TTY or vice versa is a telecommunication relay service.

So Da’nt cha! (do you still drink soda?)

Most of us love to drink soda that’s why it became one of the world’s favorite beverages. Each year, billions of gallons of soda are sold in one country alone. Although it is popular with men, women, and children, experts believe that drinking soda may bring serious health problem.

Ø It’s yummy!
Its taste could be the one thing that gets us addicted in drinking soda, it is delicious and savory. As matter of fact, it is good that people drink it every after meal!

Ø It’s in the corner!
I think every corner of this world has a vending machine of soda. Even if you want to drink something else, you would still go for it.

Ø Convenience!
If you want something in a quick or if you are in a hurry it would be convenient for you to grab it and then go.!

Ø Thirst!
People often drink soda to quench their thirst. But according to expert, this is the worst time to drink soda, because when you are thirsty, you have low level of saliva. And this saliva neutralizes acid (soda is the most acidic beverages) and wash your teeth clean.

And here are the some reasons why we should give up drinking soda…
Ø Soda is useless. First of all, soft drinks are composed of refined sugar and filtered water. Therefore there is no beneficial component present in soft drinks.

Ø Kidney damage. Researchers stated that large amount of in take of soda result in enhanced kidney stone formation. And if you are questioning on how these soda could form a stone, it’s because of their acidity and radical mineral imbalances.

Ø Increase blood pressure. Experts reasoned out that over consumption of fructose, particularly in soft drinks, can lead to an increase of blood pressure.

Those were the reasons why we love soda and the reasons why we should stop drinking it.
Do you have any idea to what extent to which drinking carbonated, caffeinated, sugared, or artificially sweetened beverages can damage your body? One of the best things you can do to improve your health is by giving up soda!

Afraid of CANCER?

One life to love.

Cancer takes one person every moment. They could be our sisters, brothers, parents, our loved ones; any person could be taken by cancer. It doest look on your status, if you were strike by it, suffer. Everyday cases of cancer were reported in different countries and yes, cases of deaths were in it.

But how does one person catch a cancer?

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). There are different types of cancer: Cancer of the skin, Cancer of the bone, breast cancer, cervical cancer, brain cancer and Cancer of the lungs, are just some of the many cancer cases people suffered nowadays. Yet medicines are so inadequate and insufficient for the needs of many lives. There were cases of cancer that last up to weeks, months and if lucky years but still end up to same word, death. Frustrations it is. But there were also cases of survivors. A testimony of a sister in Christ serve as a truth that believing on to the ultimate healer would not be in vain. Faith in him is what only needed. Nothing is impossible to the creator.

Sis Edith, a Christian, believer of God have suffered from breast cancer but now as to her testimony, she’d been one of the many cencer survivors. She is now free disease-free. Faith and trust did help her to continue fighting that cancer. With the help of friends and people who loved her, she has got enough strength to continue. "Indeed, where we are weak, there we are strong."- from the new testament's letter to the Corinthians. Proper intake of the prescribed medicine as well as healthy foods is important. Enough rest is also needed.

A testimony which gives enlightenment to people who suffer from this sickness. There’s always hope in everything. Trust God. He could turn impossible into possible things. God is Powerful.

Biblical Sanitation

LEVITICUS 13:46
All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

There were a countless millions of people killed due to the horrible disease leprosy; and after which another sixty million life were taken by the Black Death. Through the leadership of the church which was given up by the physicians of the day was the plague brought under the control. And the church took the concept of contamination as its guiding as embodied in the Old Testament, Leviticus.

DEUTERONOMY 23:12, 13
"Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: 13 and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

Hygienic provisions during closer to the eighteenth century even in great capitals were quite archaic. It was the standard for evacuation to be abandoned on the dirty and polluted streets. Powerful foul odor clenched the villages and cities.

Through following God’s provision in Deuteronomy, diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid fever could have been manipulated. A medical historian once writes that this directive is “certainly a primitive measure, but an effective one, which indicates advanced ideas of sanitation.”


NUMBERS 19:11-22
11 - He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

12 - He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13 - Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

14 - This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

15 - And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

16 - And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 - And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

18 - And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

19 - And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

20 - But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

21 - And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

22 - And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.


InShort :
NUMBERS 19:11-22 says, "He who touches the dead body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. ... Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; his uncleanness is still on him. ... The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean..."

In other words, if a medical practitioner would have only followed the above instructions early in the history many lives would have been saved.

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

What is Your Eating Habit?

What is your habit? Eating is loved by everyone (almost). A very yummy habit it is. One eats when he is happy and eats again whenever depressed. People eat every minute of their life, as if their stomach couldn’t be really contented.











How should one eat food? Would you prefer chewing it thoroughly or swallowing it immediately? Although chewing needs no explanation, a shocking number of people do not adequately chew foods they eat. People especially business minded one almost doesn’t have much time even for eating. Many times they eat easily chewed one and instant foods. Mostly because of rush they just swallow it without chewing thoroughly. Is it healthy to practice?






As we are eating lunch, together with my brothers and sister in faith this afternoon, a bro opened a topic about the healthy and proper eating etiquettes. According to him, one should chew food 15 times or more so the food would be grind and also so that the stomach could properly digest it. It prevents indigestion, gas and heartburn. It was also a good exercise for the gums which could prevent gum problems. I heard also that drinking should only be done after eating which is very opposite to the practice we have in the family, but I believe it’s not always counted as a good suggestion.





In eating we should always remember that it is very important to chew the foods we put into our mouth. We should also take into consider those foods that we input rather than just swallowing it. If we input junks in our body then it will manifest in us as well as inputting healthy foods. It is said that we are what we eat, so we should be aware of what we are eating. Life doesn’t just end in eating, healthy lifestyle starts in the foods we eat.

happy chewing!
