MANILA, Philippines—During the French and Indian War in 1754, a woman named Martha Custis danced with George Washington in a ball. Legend has it that she had caught his eye from across the room because of her radiant complexion. After one dance she had won his heart. Bewitched by her beauty, he married her four years later. So here is Martha’s beauty secret.

Martha’s facial: Beat 1 egg, add 1 teaspoon honey and ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Apply to face and neck. After 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm water and dry. Do this weekly.

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine used vinegar to treat his patients in 400 BC. The Babylonians, in 5,000 BC regarded it as an antibiotic. The Assyrians, Greeks and Egyptians used it to treat ear infections, bleeding wounds, loss of appetite, gangrene, poor digestion and feminine disorders.

Apple cider and red wine vinegar which are made from whole apples and red grapes could help you enjoy the following:

Fight fat
Enhance the body’s immune system
Lower blood pressure
Lower risk of heart disease
Prevent cancer
Slow down the aging process

Because apple cider vinegar has alkalizing minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron as well as enzymes, it acts as a super agent of good health by providing natural, living chemicals to the body to fight infection.

Red wine vinegar, like apple cider, contains: polyphenols—natural antioxidants which fends off free radical damage; catechin—flavonoids and bioflavonoids; quercetin—an allergy preventive and relief as well as protector from stomach disorders; resveratrol—a compound which may have anti-cancer and anti-heart disease properties.

Are you overweight? If you answered yes, then apple cider may be the solution. Just 2 tablespoons in a cup of warm water each morning before breakfast will definitely keep you energized and fit.

Coco power
Coco vinegar’s “sweet” flavor comes from the nectar or sap that drips from a newly-formed coconut flower bud or unopened inflorescence (which contains flowers and baby coconuts). Rich in potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium like its “foreign cousins,” it is used as medicine to lower blood sugar, clear acne, treat athlete’s foot and sinus congestion.

Studies indicate that coconut sap vinegar is plentiful in B-vitamin inositol and its derivative IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate) which prevent from the formation of cancer. Call Sorsogon Food Ent. at 4272227; 0918-6346010.

While there are many other vinegar varieties like rice, balsamic malt and herbal vinegar, when choosing, look for the organically grown.

Note: Not everyone can stomach vinegar, it could be more acidic to those who are already highly acidic by nature. So, clear with your doctor first.

Tips
Dandruff away. Rub apple cider/coco vinegar on the scalp. Leave for 1 minute. Rinse. Repeat daily.
Bugs off. Rub apple cider vinegar on insect bites to remove the itch.
Freckle fader. Folk medicine believes that adding horseradish to your vinegar makes for skin lightener.
Acne fighter. Mix 2 teaspoons of vinegar in 1 cup of water. Dab on blemishes 3x a day after washing your face.
Natural astringent. Mix 1 teaspoon of coco vinegar in 1 cup of cool water. Use cotton swab to cleanse the skin.
Weight loss helper. Mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider/coco vinegar in a cup of warm water. Drink first thing in the morning before exercise.
Sunburn relief. Splash white vinegar and water and be soothed instantly.
Affirm: “I attract only sweetness in my life.”
Love and light!

Abdominal Epilepsy?

The other day, I encountered an uncommon medical diagnosis, abdominal epilepsy. Maybe I was absent when this was taught in med school or maybe it was mentioned but it just didn't register in my memory bank. Anyway, for those colleagues who haven't heard of this as well, here's what I found out about it, so that next time you are faced with a weird abdominal pain, you will think of abdominal epilepsy as a differential. There are many medical causes of abdominal pain; abdominal epilepsy is one of the rare causes. From a medical perspective, the term epilepsy refers not to a single disease, but to a group of symptoms with numerous causes. The common factor in all forms of epilepsy is an excessive electrical excitability of the brain. The increased excitation is called a seizure and may manifest as a partial or total loss of consciousness and muscle spasms or other involuntary movements. Many conditions can produce epilepsy. For example, a genetic predisposition is...

"Ganacity"

If there's one word that I will never forget from my AGSB experience, it's "ganacity"! A word frequently mentioned by our FinMan professor. What does it mean? It's a combination of the tagalog word "gana" (appetite, zest) and the english suffix "city" which converts an adjective word into a noun. 'Ganacity' therefore refers to one's state of desire or interest in something. I am sharing this because I feel that my 'ganacity' for what I am doing now is spiralling down, and it is so difficult to reverse it back up or just to keep it at a maintained level. It is becoming a struggle on a day to day basis. I am hoping that night and day will alternate fast so that this battle will end soon.

The Beauty of Giving

It is heartwarming to read how people are coming together to help and support all those involved in this war against the corona virus 19. Indeed, the blessing in this crisis is the transparency of people and the willingness to help those in need without a second thought. We have proven once again that we can care beyond ourselves. Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift.   It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.
