I had a conversation with a colleague earlier regarding my desire to have a son for my next child. I already have two very beautiful, smart and active daughters and it will be nice to have a boy in the house. My faith and conviction is that it's all in God's hands, will and time. That's why when I came across this health news, i dismissed it as something we shouldn't really believe. But then again, it wouldn't hurt as well to take a look at their basis and see if it really works. Moreover, I think as long as one is properly guided by faith, trying it will be somewhat fun and exciting. PARIS (AFP) - Oysters may excite the libido, but there is nothing like a hearty breakfast laced with sugar to boost a woman's chances of conceiving a son, according to a study released Wednesday. Likewise, a low-energy diet that skimps on calories, minerals and nutrients is more likely to yield a female of the human species, says the study, published in Proceedings of the ...

Treatment of LaryngoPharyngeal Relux (LPR) depends mainly on the symptoms. I usually advise these three: (1) Behavioral modification. Maintain an ideal body weight. But, when you go on a diet, be sure to eat breakfast and have small, frequent feedings. Also, avoid foods high in fat, spices, acid, alcohol and caffeine. Stop smoking! Do not lie down three hours after eating. Elevating the head off the bed 6-8 inches may help prevent reflux. Avoid drugs that promote reflux including calcium channel blockers, sedatives, or nitrates. When busy and unable to grab a bite, chew gum. This increases salivary bicarbonate production and may neutralize the acid. (2) Pharmacotherapy. The proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omeprazole, esomeprazole), commonly taken two times a day, block the terminal stage of gastric acid secretion. They are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available today. The H 2 blockers (e.g. ranitidine, cimetidine), typically taken two to three ...

It’s Christmas time! Even if our situation here in the Philippines is full of uncertainties, there’s no denying that the holiday atmosphere is at hand. I was told that Divisoria is overflowing with people buying gifts, food etc. As Filipinos, we are really passionate in celebrating this season. Healthwise, we should not make the holidays a time for us to abuse our bodies. I know that the temptations are often too difficult to resist but let us not forget that another year is about to come and we should be spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically fit to face it. Here are some tips to avoid over-indulging this season. Eat before you go to a party - If you skip meals, you are more likely to overeat later. Eat a substantial snack before going to a party to avoid stuffing yourself with everything in sight. Slow down when you eat - It takes about 20 minutes from the time you eat until your brain gets the signal that you are full. So eat slowly, put down your fo...

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Nestle and Selecta Ice Cream and Dunkin Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "Yummy"!, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled. God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. Satan brought forth the white flour from the wheat,and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14. So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." But Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts after eating. God then s...
