No to Dengue!

I’m not a Nursing student or a person with immense knowledge about health. But everyone knows that we should be health-inclined-persons. This means that our interest in health topics should not be eliminated in our daily lives.  A week ago, Dengue became a threat in our family. We are all aware that Dengue fever is no joke and it goes to more serious stages so I decided to blog something about it. This disease is usual during rainy season because dangerous mosquitoes stay in stagnant water. These dangerous mosquitoes are also called little killers because of the hazard they bring.

I won’t be posting signs and symptoms since I am not in the position to post such. Information, advice and preventive measures are being provided to us in television, websites, radios, etc.  I would suggest that if someone in your family has fever, bring him/her to the nearest clinic and have him/her checked up. Doctors would suggest a Dengue test immediately to ensure the health state. Disregard the expenses; prevention is always better than cure.  If the patient has been tested and resulted into positive case, do not hesitate to buy all the medicines prescribed by the doctors.

Liquid is very important especially in times like this. Water is very reliable. The downfall of platelets needs to be prevented. In order to have a large number of platelets, doctors suggest dalandan juice or VitaPlus. As I’ve mentioned, my nephew suffered from Dengue. That time, we are all devastated and bothered that we searched for all the remedies and cure for this tropical disease. Because of our eagerness, we discovered natural cure for it. Herbal medicines are dependable since it has no threats of chemicals. Tawa tawa and Payapa leaves are the two herbal we’ve tried.  I can say the two have the best results.

Papaya Leaves

Tawa tawa leaves

You may try searching for the descriptions of the leaves. You will also see why and how it can cure Dengue. Blogs and articles will also advice you on how it can be taken.

Thank God for these naturals! Because of these, Keith’s platelets rose into hundred thousand. 

Cucumber diet

Let us all admit it, summer vacation is exciting, fun and all but it triggers our weight to amplify. Aside from the complete sleep we’re getting, we are prone to temptations like midnight meals and afternoon snacks which are, as we all know, are not necessary. We get stressed whenever we feel we are  gaining pounds. We get too conscious, but it is typical to get convinced by our appetite to intake food. Sometimes, it is quite confusing if we really like to eat because we’re hungry or just because we’re bored. Funny thought.

Personally, I am currently conscious about my figure ever since summer came over. I eat a lot; I eat from time to time. At first, I didn’t notice it until I realize the comparison of my eating habits during school days. There I started to really think over. I must do something about it so I do exercises everyday and manage my eating routines. I balance, really I do? Haha, sort of.  I have been stressing myself too much since I had that realizations but one thing came passed by my thoughts. What is it? I need to weigh in to really know if I gain or not. So I did it, then I discovered I did not gain weight at all. I was surprised! I got too conscious without trying to check my weight.

This discovery did not become an indicator that I can still eat and eat and not exercise. Of course not, it actually inspired me to be more careful about my body figure and health. Unfortunately, I still eat midnight meal oops I intend to say midnight snack but not that heavy like before. I want to share some tips about eating habits. Like what I have said, it’s really hard to resist so I decided to prepare my healthy diet meal every midnight. My boyfriend is good in experimenting food. I learned some simple veggies procedure from him. Salad is good but you cannot satisfy yourself with that always. My favorite is the cucumber salad with cheese and dressing of course. I love its yumminess and its simplicity. We just chop cucumber into bits, add cheese pieces and pour out salad dressing, that’s it!

I am assured that what I eat is healthy plus it’s easy to do!
