Heart Attacks During Christmas Holiday

The frequent parties during the Christmas season can very well trigger heart attacks, according to an advisory from the Department of Health (DOH).

Statistics show that Filipinos overindulge in food and alcohol during this season while others get the stress in thinking, buying and spending for gifts to give during Christmas.

A study in the United States showed the peak of heart diseases occur during Christmas season, particularly four to six days after Christmas Day. While there are no similar studies yet in the country, the same trend is observed, according to the DOH advisory.

Instead of looking after the usual Christmas staples like lechon and ham, Filipinos should start preparing food served consisting of vegetables and fruits. Some healthy food for the holiday season would be steamed fish and various vegetable garden salad.

Health authorities warn the public not to neglect the need for healthy lifestyle by controlling their intake on food and alcohol. Attending parties should not excite one on what's at the buffet table, but instead get more contented on the bonding and fellowship among friends and relatives during Christmas gatherings.
 
The health advisory warned people with common diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and diabetes. The risk becomes higher when one smokes and take much alcohol. There is also a need to maintain a healthy diet this Christmas while everyone is urged to avoid successive night outs and late sleep. A "morning recovery sleep" will never be enough to replace a sleepless night.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Obama is the richest man in the world

I hold you to the words you are writing. You blamed Bush for the balanced budget disappearing. I don't know if you are capable of holding a memory that happen yesterday. You have forgotten that Bush was a war President, two wars in his term; Katrina & Rita, three major hurricanes that destroyed Florida and the gulf coast, Annual fires ravaging California that dependent on Bush to declare those as disaster areas too. Then the Democrats protest any move by the Republican to reform the Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac because of policy created by Democrats on home buyers that had no income. Greenlining was opposed by Democrats. Bush fought the good wars, maintained the economy until Obama and his handlers created a hoax about worst economy, and unemployment in 5%. People like you believed his lies, about high debts in $500 billion and worst unemployment and depression since 1932!   In less than a year Obama committed $3 trillion debts, before his term is over projected to $27 trillion, ...
