Bad Toothache

Am having that now and i have already gobbled 3 Panadol @ 500 mg but yet i can still feel the pain.  Really really bad pain.  So my mom decided to go natural.  She scraped the skin of the Malunggay plant and pressed it.  The it is pasted on the gums covering the aching tooth.  And guess what?  It worked!  The pain subsides and i still dunno how long will it cover the pain.

Laugh Out Loud!

In consulting editor Donald L. Cooper, MD, is a team physician for the football and basketall teams and director ofthe Student Health Center at Oklahoma State University.  He was appointed by President Reagan to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, and reappointed by President Bush.  He is also popular speaker and humorist.

Dr. Cooper, a Presbyterian layman, became a humorist many years ago after a couple of crippling episodes with depression.  ONe episode hospitalized him and brought to the edge of suicide.

He says that his faith, humor, the love and support of his family, exercise, and medication prescribed by a physicial helped him ride out both episodes of depression.

He advises depressed persons to “hang on to your faith” and “cultivate sense of humor.”  He says: “Don’t give up.  Depression is self-limited, and if you hang on, it will pass.”  Says Dr. Cooper:  “I give 30 to 40 lectures a year on stress management, and my No. 1 emphasis  on managing stress is laughter.”

Dr. Cooper tells jokes and stories endlessly.  He observes that the great medical missionary and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Schweitzer, had a keen sense of humor and often told jokes and stories to cheer up his patients.

Benefits of Drinking Enough Water

I always have in mind to drink as much as 8 glasses of simple water each day.  Not because it will help me lose weight, but I can just feel my body regulation seems fine when i have enough water in the body.  There are days I drink enough, there are also days when I just had 4 glasses for the whole 8 hours at work.  It’s not because there is no water supply, it’s just plainly because i forgot or my lazyness.

Now, let me share here the great benefits of drinking enough water:

1.  it allows proper digestion

2. it increases our mental and physical performance

3. it improves energy

4. it reduces headaches and dizzyness

5.  helps lose weight

6.  keep skin healthy and glowing

7.  remove toxins and waste products in your body.

Ive never tasted tea til I reached the land where tea drinking originated.  Then tea became a daily habit especially before eating dinner.  It was just a normal daily tea chinese drink everyday. 

Now chamomile tea is shown to boost the immune system.  For centuries, people who have felt sick or stressed have tried drinking chamomile tea as a medicinal cure-all.  Now it is found out that it boosts our immune system and fights against infections associated with colds.  Not just cold but it was found out that it actually helps relieve a wide range of health ailments.
