Healthy Eating Pyramid is the foundation of your daily exercise and weight control. It has a strong influence in staying healthy.
The logic is simple because exercise and weight control is linked to each other with an uncomplicated rule of balancing energy.

Weight change = calories in - calories out

When you burn as many calories each day as you take it, there is nothing would be left storing in your fat cells, and your weight remains the same. However, if you eat more than you burn, then you will end up adding more fats and pounds in your body.

Let us take a look at the bricks in the Healthy Eating Pyramid;

Whole Grains will give us carbohydrates such as oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, and brown rice. Our body needs carbohydrates that give us energy.

Healthy Fats and Oils is surprisingly at the near base, indicating that it's okay to have it although not all types of fats are allowed but the healthy fats like olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut and other vegetable oils only.

Vegetables and Fruits has an ample advantage. It will help you to decrease the chances of heart attack or stroke, protecting you to some types of cancer, lowering your blood pressure and helping you to avoid some intestinal ailment and can guard you against muscular degeneration. Potatoes are not counted as the vegetable because it has the same effect on blood sugar like refined grains and sweets, and uses sparingly in the Healthy Eating Pyramid.

Nuts, Seeds, Beans, and Tofu are plant foods that is excellent source of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals like black beans, garbanzos, lentils, etc. and some other nuts that contains healthy fats like almonds, walnuts, peanuts, etc. are good for your heart. Eating this kind of beans and nuts instead of red meat or process meat can help you lowering the risk of having heart disease and diabetes.

Fish, Poultry, and Eggs are also important for it can as well be the source of protein. Eating fish can reduce heart disease while chicken are can be low saturated fat.  An egg a day is fine but for people with diabetes or heart disease should only have it for three times a week.

Dairy or Vitamin D and Calcium will help us to have strong bones. However, we should limit it in 1 to 2 servings per day only. High dairy intakes can be associated will increase the risk of ovarian cancers or fatal prostate.
Nevertheless, you can get calcium by taking calcium supplements and vitamin D to meet your daily needs.

Red Meat, Processed Meat, Butter, Refined Grains, Potatoes, Sugary Drinks and Sweets, and Salts are all staples at the top because it can cause increases in blood sugar which can be lead to weight gain, diabetes, hear disease and other chronic diseases.

Just remember the basic guidelines in Healthy Eating Pyramid that healthy diet is having more foods from the base of the pyramid than from the higher levels of the pyramid.  Choosing a variety of fresh, whole foods from the groups will ensure you are getting the right nutrients that you need and the only foods that are off-limits are those who are on top of the pyramids.

Following this will help you decide which one to place in your Healthy Eating Plate for more effective and healthy you!

When muscles are sore and bones are tired, even the smallest steps and the simplest tasks become particularly difficult to endure. Joint pains, stiffness, injuries and other chronic conditions like arthritis and scoliosis make it hard to go about the day like nothing is wrong, and the pain is so personal that no one else understands why.

We resort to quick fixes and go to the nearest neighborhood spa, entrusting our bodies to our favorite masseuse. According to New York (NY) Theraspine Clinic owner and registered Physical Therapist Michelle Natividad, “ It is dangerous to have your bones and back be touched just by anybody. You need professionals to do that.” 

At NY Theraspine Clinic, they completely understand these problems. With its team of friendly, highly-qualified, even award-winning chiropractors and physical therapists accredited abroad, NY Theraspine offers only personalized the best treatments for the most common neck and back pains, to posture problems, and for stroke rehabilitation.




NY Theraspine Clinic employs the methods of Chiropractic — a form of alternative medical treatment that focuses on manual therapy and manipulation of the spine, joints, and soft tissues. When done correctly, chiropractic not only treats existing conditions, but can also prevent potential injuries and illnesses from happening, also preventing surgeries.

For those who suffer from disabling conditions like low back pain, arthritis, fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica regardless of age and fitness level, the NY Theraspine Clinic also offers Physical Therapy Rehabilitation, which involves the use of heat treatment, ultrasound, electric stimulation, therapeutic exercise, and therapeutic massage with the aim of restoring each patient’s maximum functional independence.



For those who lead active lifestyles and are into sports and intense physical activities, the clinic also offers Sports Physical Therapy and Conditioning which ultimately aims to rehabilitate muscles and treat injuries of both professional and amateur athletes as soon as possible, so that they may continue playing their sport without having to take a long break for treatment.

NY Theraspine also makes use of the Myofascial Release approach, which caters to those who are plagued by headaches, pain, and restricted motion as a result of the tightening of the fascia. This often happens to people who have suffered from trauma — a fall, whiplash, or side-effects from a surgery. With the Myofascial Release approach, therapists individualize each session to cater to each patient’s specific needs, using a number of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy to help restore the patient’s range of motion, alleviate pain, and eventually help them return to living an active, free life.




NY Theraspine Clinic’s services also include weight management and fitness and
conditioning, showing just how dedicated the clinic is to promoting a healthy, happy lifestyle.

The doctors at NY Theraspine are ready to assess and evaluate your physical
condition. Take the first step towards a pain-free world. Call 375-1035/921-9831 or visit them at 73-G Sct. Dr. Lazacano cor. Sct. Tuazon, Brgy.

It was such a humid day and whenever the time like this comes, you liked to stop what you are doing and had a sleep first because your body is pulling you to be lazy. Of course, it will not happen because of the loads that have to be done in front of your table. Gosh! I need a break... That was the first thing that you will say though. 


I hate rainy days but had no choice if the weather becomes crazy and had a quick change in an instant.  Bored days like this will give me reason to visit the Pinoy Blogger group in Facebook to lurk around and see what's happening with other blogger friends.


There was this invitation for a Blogger's night for Nails.Glow, crazy because the announcement is just the same day of the event, and I don't have planned to go there because it's located in Commonwealth which is far from my place and another thing is? It's raining on the outside. However, there was this positive energy that pushing me to contact the person who organized the event because I have strong feelings that he can help me with my plans later. Until we end up texting and finding myself going on the way to the venue. 


At first, I thought why I'm going? I wasn't a nail art fan and I like my nails to be simple, clean and short. So I decide to visit their web site at http://www.nailsdotglow.com/ and surprisingly saw that they even had spa services, which give me another interest to go. 




I don't usually go to a salon like this to have my pedicure because I prepare to do it by myself (actually scared of being hurt by others).  I am one who came early aside to Lakwastera Mom, a chit chat for a while then started our foot spa service with foot massage and pedicure. The foot spa with massage and pedicure includes seven applications with six varieties but prepares to have the Aromatherapy for healing and tired feet,  only here in Nails.Glow their price is a little cheaper compared to other salons that I've been to.


After that the attendant was take me to the facial room to had my facial, Ate Gem was patienly massaging m,y face while scrubbing and putting moituraizer in my face to had my facial done. Then we went to the next room to had my body massage but first did the ear wax candling and the massage is done together with ventosa. I feel relief and very much refresh for my tried body had relax after it.



I'm very much thankful to Sir Migz as well as to the owners of Nails.Glow, Don  Antonio Heights. The services are really good. The staff is well knowledgeable on what they're doing, and they are all very hospitable. I even had a chance to meet the franchisors of Nails.Glow, Ms. AJ and Sir Ferdie, it's so nice to talk to you and your great as well as the food, not to mention the chocolate cake, and I love it! 

You can take a look their price list of their services and avail one in their salon;




So, if you really want to have a total relaxation and want to have a real pampering for your self try visiting the Nails.Glow located at #18 A. Don Jose St., Don Antonio Heights, North Gate Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City (near Shopwise, Petron and Generics Pharmacy). You may call them at 900-5232 / 0932-8851100. Please Like their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Nails.GlowDonAntonio?ref=ts&sk=wall  and follow them in Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/nailsdatglow.

A week before, my son suffers from joint pain and develops small red marks over his skin on his feet. I get worried so I bring him in the hospital to know what this thing is all about. We first thought it was due to his careless while playing because he said he's been tripped on the root of a tree at school one Friday afternoon and thinking that maybe there is a fracture or something that is why it was swollen.  Still the red mark is a puzzle to me.

So we rush to the hospital the following morning to see the pediatrician, and the doctor referred us to the surgery room. We had his foot x-ray done but nothing had seen in the results. The marks become more and more when the day pass until his doctor suspected that it's Henorch Schonlein Purpura.  The doctor requests different blood test, urinalysis, and fecalysis as well.



Below is the glance about Henoch Schonlein Purpura;

Henoch Schonlein Purpura is a type of vasculitis or a form of inflammation of the blood vessel. It affects the small blood vessels called capillaries in the skin and sometimes the kidney.  It occurs in the skin rash, mostly in lower extremities associated with joint inflammation like arthritis, abdominal pain and sometimes a kidney disorder.

The causes of bleeding of skin, joints, abdomen and kidney are due to body's small vessels that have been inflamed. It may be a result if overzealous immune system which responds inappropriately. There is no specific thing why this occurs.

The syndrome is commonly seen in children ages 2 to 10 years of age, but it can also affect people in different age.  It is more common in boys and very rarely in girls. It was said that most people who had Henoch Schonlein Purpura had an upper respiratory illness in the past weeks before it occurs.

There is no specific medication for this because most cases are getting better on its own without any treatment. When the Henoch Schonlein Purpura is gone, usually takes four to six weeks. Ibuprofen is given as the pain reliever but steroids can be given if the pain is intolerable. It will come back after four months from the first it occurs, but nothing will follow after this.

We just hope that my baby had a strong immune system to fight this and with gods will I know that my son will cure and get well.

I get a chance to have bonding with other fashion and beauty bloggers. Although the location is far, but I would say that I have a great time with them. 

Basically, it's not the event that i thought indeed its a small get-together of fashion and beauty bloggers in Manila.  It was in a bazaar where the host of the event is the Hyphen Luxe, and the owner is very nice and accommodating. 

She said that she started making small business when she was sixteen and no wonder why she was so successful today. Working hard with the thing you love and like to do will definitely have good results eventually. 

Hyphen Luxe sells Bangkok clothes, dresses, accessories from necklace to bangles, different kinds of nail polish from Korea, China, etc. They also have bags, belts, and wallets. 


They even sell one kind of make-up where the brand is not locally available, plus some of the pre-loved items. 



After the non-stop laugh and chatting. We end up staying good-byes and hope to see each one of them in the future.  If you like to inquire about their hip and cool products, you can visit http://thehyphenstore.multiply.com/, or you may like their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/thehyphenstore.

This summer many of us are starting to dig our closet to find a piece of something to wear when we are going to the beach like Boracay or Palawan. Many of us are so conscious what to wear and yet to look more appealing and comfortable.

It should be a perfect combination with your sun tan lotion, but which swim wear pieces should be wearing.

Let me help you with this friends...

If you are with fuller figure, try the vintage trend and use it to emphasize your curves, cupped styles, and bring anything in your waist to play with your hourglass shape.

Pear shape (small bust), ruffles is perfect for you. Add something in your top half. You can even use vintage supped design with padding that will help you to create curves.

Top heavy, ruffles is an advantage to you by conversely adding them to the bottom. Balance your hips with your bust and avoid string bikinis without support. You have to stick to structured styles and halter necks.

Short legs, use block colored bottom, use high cut thighs to lengthen the body and pair it with a printed bikini top. Avoid wearing boy-legs.

Athletic figures, show your toned physique by wearing crochet, backless and strapping styles.

Now that you already know what kind of trendy swim wear that you can use depending on your body type. You just have to choose the right one to cover up you. You can also add a kanga that you can be worn as a dress, skirt, sarong or as a trousers.  A mini towel or knee-length skirt will do good too. Plus a wide brimmed straw hat, sunglasses, colored towel and carried away bag. Enjoy the summer!
