Control High Blood Pressure To Reduce Its Health Related Problems

High blood pressure is a serious condition that can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.

It is known that 25% of Filipino adults, or about 14 million of current adult population, have high blood pressure. A large majority of them are unaware of their high blood pressure and associated health risks. 

Heart disease and stroke remains the leading causes of mortality, comprising 35% of total deaths, among Filipinos. Philippine Health Statistics data show that in 2009, about 167,000 Filipinos died from heart disease and stroke. Half of these tragic deaths are likely related to high blood pressure.

 An analysis done by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) further reveals that 34% of all cardiovascular deaths are happening prematurely or at age below 60 years, ending the life of many Filipinos during their supposedly most productive years. This has implications to labor, productivity, and economic development.

The health consequences of high blood pressure can be compounded by tobacco use, unhealthy diet, harmful use of alcohol, lack of physical activity, as well as obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes. High blood pressure is preventable and treatable; controlling it,  is the main way to prevent heart attack and stroke.

BPO Life Synonymous with Coffee

BPO life has become nearly synonymous with coffee, which has become the most popular additive that perks up the human brain. Working from evening to morning and not the other way around as is the norm, goes against the human body's biorhythm and normal work processes.

Adrenaline secretion slows down as the day wears on and as sleepiness creeps in. It is largely adrenaline that sharpens the senses and makes the body active. This is where coffee comes in.

Coffee is all caffeine which is a stimulant and, according to studies, an "unknown chemical agent" which induces the production of two (2) stimulating hormones: adrenaline and cortisone. 

Studies abound about the effects of coffee on health! Higher doses of caffeine induce negative effects such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and tachycardia. The situation in the BPO landscape is a potential cause for worry. Due to the odd working hours and the rigors and stresses of the job, agents normally drink coffee excessively to maintain FULLY-AWAKE, FULLY-ALERT status. Too much coffee drinking may yield the opposite result, with employees ultimately paying the price.

HCI-CMD is the answer to the BPO dilemma where coffee intake and productivity issues are concerned. Coffee lovers can always opt for healthy lifestyle. Atleast 3-5 drops of HCI-CMD per coffee serving promotes mental wellness, improves blood circulation, increases energy, and protects the liver and the immune system. What's more, HCI-CMD intake helps prevent diseases - something which is exactly at the core of concerns of the BPO industry's productivity and sustainability.

Cancer-Fighting Minerals

A cancer develops when cells undergo an abnormal change and begin to grow and spread within the body. These abnormal cells then grow into tumors that can be benign or malignant. Cancers can occur at any age. Seventy-five percent of cancer patients in the Philippines are 50 years old and above while 3.2 percent belong to the pediatric age bracket (0 to 14 years).

In February 2010, the World Health Organization predicted that the number of cancer deaths worldwide will increase from 7.6 million to 17 million deaths in 2030. Thirty percent of cancers can be prevented by avoiding smoking, having regular exercise, and eating the right diet. Unfortunately, cancer still ranked third in the list of leading causes of death in the country in 2010. Listed below are the top causes of cancer deaths in the Philippines for 2010:

• Breast cancer. The most common cancer in the country with 16 percent of a total of 50,000 cases resulting in death. The disease has also become the leading cause of cancer for Filipino women.

• Lung cancer. The leading cause of cancer for Filipino men. It was the leading cause of cancer deaths in the country before it was replaced by breast cancer. Meanwhile, the Philippine Cancer Society expressed concern over the rise in lung cancer incidences among Filipino women.

• Liver cancer. Doctors attribute this to the fact that chronic hepatitis B affects 10 to 12 percent of all Filipinos. Chronic hepatitis B causes cirrhosis of the liver which is a major risk factor of liver cancer.

• Cervical cancer. It is estimated that 12 Filipinas die of cervical cancer each day with 6,000 cases being diagnosed each year. This type of cancer is common among women from age 30 to 55. Twenty-two in 100,000 women will get cervical cancer and only 44 percent of this number will survive the disease.

• Colon cancer. Occurs when abnormal cells develop in the large intestine. It is best detected early through fecal occult blood test and colonoscopy. Among Filipino personalities who died of the disease are Corazon C. Aquino, Chat Silayan, Rio Diaz, Helen Vela, and veteran actor Charlie Davao.

• Thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer is more common in women than in men. In fact, it is the most common cancer for women at age 15 to 24. Risk factors include family history, exposure to radiation, and not having enough iodine in the diet.

• Rectal cancer. Is caused by cancer cells that grow in the last 15 centimeters of the colon. These cancer cells become deadly once they travel through the bloodstream and into the other internal organs such as the liver. A diet rich in red meat and processed meats, lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, type-2 diabetes, and alcoholism is found to cause the disease.

• Ovarian cancer. The 5th most common cancer among women. It is considered a “silent killer” as it is usually detected when the cancer cells have already spread to other organs such as the lungs and the liver.

• Prostate cancer. After lung cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men. It develops in 19 out of every 100,000 Filipinos.

• Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphoid tissues such as the lymph nodes or the spleen. Patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma have a lower survival rate (63%) compared to patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (90%).

5 Minerals for Cancer Prevention and Cure

1. Calcium: A proven protector against colon cancer, this mineral is integral for maintaining the health of bones and teeth, blood clotting, and cellular metabolism.
2. Iodine: Helps protect the body from breast cancer and  is required for energy and the growth and repair of healthy tissues. 
3. Magnesium: This mineral protects against cancer in general, maintains the pH balance of the blood, as well as aids the formation of your body’s genetic material–RNA and DNA.  While damaged genetic material can put you at risk for cancer, magnesium helps with the repair work.  
4. Selenium: This mineral helps the body manufacture glutathione, an enzyme required for proper detoxification of the body.  Because toxic build-up in the body is linked to cancer, assisting your body with its natural, ongoing detoxification processes helps lessen your risk of cancer.  In research, low dietary levels of selenium have been correlated with higher cancer incidence.  Supplementation with selenium is a valuable cancer prevention tool. 
5. Zinc: A powerful protective agent against prostate cancer, this mineral is also necessary for the formation of RNA and DNA and a healthy immune system.  And, you guessed it:  a healthy immune system is better able to kill cancer cells.

THE SOLUTION

HCI-CMD a unique and powerful mineral supplement, is particularly rich in trace minerals needed for optimum health and nutrition.  It is known that HCI-CMD contains anti-cancer elements like calcium, iodine, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Read the following testimonies:

• Anne Gloria A. Cruz, Pasig City, KidneyProblem and Prostate Cancer. 
• DRA.LILYBETH OCAMPO Breast Cancer. 
• LIBERATO D.MEDINA: Terminal Liver Cancer As collaborated by: Mr. Arturo G. Cruz. 
• NORMAESCOBER GEMINO STAGE 3 COLON CANCER.

Taking 25 drops of HCI-CMD per glass of water 4x a day helps cancer patients restore lean muscle mass, increase energy and support the immune system, especially between cycles of chemotherapy.

The VERY Common Gonorrhea…

Passed from partner to partner

Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted disease. It can be transmitted during sexual intercourse, oral, and anal sex as well by contact with any body fluids containing the organism. Gonorrhea is more common among people who have multiple sex partners.

Incubation period varies

In men, symptoms occur between 2-14 days after infection. Men normally develop a thick yellowish discharge from the penis and experience pain and problems urinating. 

For women, it takes a little longer, between 7 and 21 days. Although some women have a cloudy vaginal discharge and feel a hot, burning sensation on urination, more than 50 percent of infected women have no symptoms at all in the early stages. As the disease progresses, an infected woman may go on to experience abnormal menstrual bleeding, rectal itching, and acute inflammation in the pelvic area. At this stage, a woman is usually diagnosed as suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), caused by the gonococcal bacteria.

Health Related Problems

Gonorrhea that is not properly treated can spread to other parts of the body. In men, it can cause an inflamed prostate or inflammation of the testes, and may affect fertility. A woman who develops PID can suffer damage to the ovaries and/or fallopian tubes, and may result in infertility.

The bacteria can also cause gonococcal arthritis, which causes pain and swelling of the joints around the body. This health condition can be misdiagnosed by your doctor as arthritis.

Gonorrhea contracted through oral sex can cause gonococcal pharyngitis, or inflammation of the throat which may cause awfully sore throat. If the infection affects the eyes, it is called gonococcal conjunctivitis, and it can lead to scarring and sometimes blindness. Anal sex with an infected partner can cause gonococcal proctitis, resulting in inflammation of the rectum and anus. This form of the disease causes symptoms, such as pain and discharge from the anus.

A woman who is infected whether she knows it or not can transmit the disease to her baby during childbirth. During passage through the birth canal, an infant may contract gonococcal ophthalmia, a severe inflammation that can affect one or both eyes. Neisseria gonorrhoeae organisms in the bloodstream can cause blood poisoning, with symptoms that include fever and exhaustion. If the bacteria reaches the brain or heart, then the infection can cause death.

Mineral Supplementation is Vital

If a laboratory culture confirms the diagnosis of gonorrhea, then quick and effective mineral supplementation is important.

Magnesium, manganese, selenium, potassium and zinc all are helpful in the treatment and prevention of gonorrhea as well as promoting good health. Zinc for instance supports the body’s immune system, and also helps to prevent urinary tract infections.

REGULARLY drink 20 drops of CMD in a glass of water 3x a day to heal people with gonorrhea and its health related problems. Other changes to make:

1. DRINK 6-8 glasses of water a day
2. AVOID all alcohol, caffeine,  soft drinks
3. EAT high fiber diet
4. REDUCE sugar, meat, saturated fats and fried foods
5. PRAY ... prayer helps with healing.

 To your good health!

Undue strains in our body like unhealthy food, poor habits, harsh environment and mental stress create a need for detoxification. HCI-CMD has the capacity to remove uric acid, lactic acid, excess cholesterol, fat deposit, dead tissue and chemical accumulated toxins in the body. Toxins are discharged through the circulation system - (kidney and liver) by urination and stool; through perspiration, boils, rashes, phlegm and mucus.

Step 2.  Restore Your Alkaline Balance

Get back to the normal pH level. Once you start drinking water with HCI-CMD for a more alkalizing diet, the body's need for fat decreases and you'll start losing weight.

Many people use HCI-CMD to support a healthy pH balance as well as general health and well being. HCI-CMD contains the full spectrum of naturally occurring minerals in trace and ultra-trace amounts, which provide broad spectrum balancing and resonance for the body.

Eat healthy foods, Filipinos urged

An expert from the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) reported that Filipinos are not consuming enough vegetables and fruits and are not meeting the Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intakes (RENI) as set by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI).

Candido Astrologo Jr., NCSB Director for National Statistical Information Center, blamed the continued mushrooming of fast food chains in the country that often offer fried and unhealthy foods.

“The proliferation of fast food chains and carinderias attracts household members to eat out instead of cooking at home. Urbanization and an increase in per capita income are factors associated with fast food and carinderia consumption. About 40 percent of the sample households buy cooked foods outside their homes instead of cooking their own meals,” the 2008 Philippine Nutrition Facts and Figures reported. 

FNRI defines RENI as “levels of intakes of energy and nutrients which, on the basis of current scientific knowledge, are considered adequate for the maintenance of health and well-being of nearly all healthy persons in the population.”

He described the possibility of the Philippines to meet the Millennium Development Goal 1 on dietary energy consumption is “medium.”

“From 1993, intakes of fruits dropped to no less than 10 percent of daily intake maybe because they find fruits expensive,” Astrologo said in a health journalism seminar organized by the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP).

In his presentation, Astrologo disclosed that in 2008, rice is on top of the most commonly consumed items in Filipino households along with potatoes and sugar. 

On the category of fish, “galunggong” topped the kinds of fish commonly consumed by Filipinos followed by milkfish or “bangus,” “tilapia,” and “tulingan” and tuna. The report also noted that Filipinos consume a high amount of soy sauce. For vegetables, carrots and malunggay were on top two spots, followed by squash fruit, kamote leaves, and "kangkong.”

Other items commonly consumed in households are salt, coffee, coffee creamer, powdered chocolate milk, coconut vinegar and pineapple vinegar.

OUR UNSOLICITED ADVICE:

For Filipinos to meet the recommended energy and nutrient intakes and stand a greater chance of achieving the "indicator" of MDG-1 pertaining to the "eradication of extreme poverty and hunger", simply drink 20 drops of HCI-CMD per glass of water 2x a day to a healthy life!

5 Tips For Better Health

There's no point being the richest person in the graveyard! Take good care of yourself with these 5 tips for better health:

1.      DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

Our body is made up of 70% water. So get hydrated and see your energy soar! Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body.

Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells.

2.      SLEEP AT LEAST 7 HOURS A DAY 

Your body needs sufficient rests to function properly so don’t neglect this part! Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

Sleep affects our physical and mental health, and is essential for the normal functioning of all the systems of our body, including the immune system. The effect of sleep on the immune system affects one’s ability to fight disease and endure sickness.

3.      EXERCISE AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK

Exercise can help you release stress, keep a better physique and give you more energy so don't forget this!

Have you ever heard the expression "use it or lose it"? It's true! If you don't use your body, you will surely lose it. Your muscles will become flabby and weak. Your heart and lungs won't function efficiently. And your joints will be stiff and easily injured. Inactivity is as much of a health risk as smoking!

Many people forget to stretch or make the excuse that they don't have the time. Flexibility is important, so make the time! Stretching can be done every day, but stick to a minimum of three times per week in order to reap the benefits. When the body is warmed up, such as after a workout session, perform five to 10 stretches that target the major muscle groups. Hold each stretch for 10-30 seconds.

4.      EAT HEALTHY 

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible– all of which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.

Healthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart”—it’s not just what you eat, but how you eat. Your food choices can reduce your risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as defend against depression. Additionally, learning the habits of healthy eating can boost your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize your mood.

Less sugar and fats plus more fiber is always the way to go for better health.

5.      MINERALS ARE MORE THAN IMPORTANT, ITS IS VITAL!

Minerals forge the foundation of every living being – forming blood and bone, transmitting impulses from our nervous system to our extremities and vice versa, and maintaining optimal health.

We know that vitamins, proteins, enzymes and amino acids are indispensable to nutrition...but lacking minerals, they are useless.

The cell is the most basic unit of life and it must have minerals to stay alive and carry out its functions, from the simplest functions to the most sophisticated functions.

To your health.
