The Poor…

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

“The poor are despised even by their neighbors,
while the rich have many ‘friends.’
It is a sin to belittle one’s neighbor;
blessed are those who help the poor.”

Proverbs 14:20–2

encouragement for today

First, there’s an observation here: Most people look down on the poor, and curry favor with the rich. Then comes the exhortation: You must be different. Do not despise the poor, as most people do. Rather, find ways to help them. God cares about the poor and blesses those who share his heart. Who are the poor in your world? How can you help them? Ask God to give you the eyes to see needs which perhaps are hidden. Then ask him to open opportunities to help.

Food Supplements

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Have you heard about hgh supplements? Since I am so much into health topics now (I started dieting, by the way), I’ve been on the lookout for natural food supplements. A friend of ours introduced USANA for Peter last year, when he used to get sick easily. We thought he’s lacking immunity. He started taking the food supplement and the wonder of all wonders, it worked for him. Now, I’m looking into using it for myself as well. But everytime I take food supplements, I gain weight easily. Sigh.

Breastfeeding – Good for Teeth Formation?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

When I was pregnant with my first, I was too excited about being pregnant and having a baby that I would read every book I could find about pregnancy, childbirth, and babies. It actually really helps to read books as you will be filled with knowledge. I don’t follow all of them though. I just do whatever I could, according to my convenience. The only thing I followed which was very challenging was breastfeeding the baby exclusively as long as you can. The first year of breastmilk would be the most beneficial. The second year, the nutritional value would decline… or the nutritional value won’t be enough so you have to supplement with other food. There are a lot of benefits when you breastfeed your baby. I’m a total advocate for it. Of course, there are some mothers who couldn’t do this for some reasons.

One of the benefits of breastfeeding is that there is a proper teeth formation when the baby starts growing their teeth. If this is right, our kids don’t need to wear braces or even go for dental implants Plano. Suffice to say, my kids (both of them), have a very nice teeth formation. I just wonder though if it’s really the result of breastfeeding or they just got it after their daddy’s.

There are a lot more benefits from using breastmilk as baby’s first food. And this I say, I’m truly a breastfeeding advocate.

I Wonder…

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I wonder if any of people I know got a social security disability? And I wonder how much it would benefit them? With all the natural calamities nowadays, one can’t help but think of some social security or insurances.

One can’t really tell with the nature. One day it’s peaceful, the next day it’s storming. But all these didn’t just happen. It was already predicted that such times as these would happen. I’m thinking why people would still thinking of “would have beens.”

I wonder…

About Salicylic

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Do you want to learn more about salicylic acid? I have an amazing information I just found out about salicylic acid. Last time, all I know is that it’s a poison and something  to avoid. LOL. Don’t blame me but that’s all I knew. But just recently, I stumbled upon a website that says salicylic can be used to treat acne. This acid is from the bark of a willow tree. And can actually exfoliate away dead skin cells. Is there side effects though? I think there are… it’s just that the product companies won’t really tell you. Just use mildly if you can, please.
