Golden Milk & the Secret of Life’s 24-Karat Elixir

The milk we knew.

Golden Milk is not the milk we knew in our childhood. Ever since we were born, we are used to know and picture milk in our minds as that pure immaculate white drink that nourishes us. The milk we knew was the one that comes from animals like cows, yak, and goats. As part of the nutrition food group standard or the basic food group introduced in 1974 by food boards as the ideal foods that are cheap yet highly nutritious , milk has since then become a vital and important source of vitamins and nutrients our body need.   This standard was however further enhanced to open other alternatives and food substitutes that are equally cheap and highly nutritious for everyone to be healthy and well.

While many indulge in drinking a cup of tea or coffee while relaxing before they go to bed and call it a day.  And drinking milk as we’ve grown and used to when we’re still young even before we discover caffeine indulgence later on in our lives. Now that we were all grown up and adults, milk indulgence are never too late especially if the milk we will drink will not only satisfy our indulgence but more about giving us great health benefits our body needs.

Plus Size, MomBod, DadBod, Are you a Selfie IN or OUT?

Men and women shares on various social media network images of their body that many think are not within what others are saying as not within the standard measure of ideal.  To them, it is their own way of self-expression and conquering their doubts and fears about self-esteem and confidence. It is their way of bravely finding out whether their current physical appearance is something accepted within their circle and beyond if it goes viral and hit.

Dare to bare.            

Cellulites, skin flabs, stretch marks, baby bumps, saggy skins, muscles and all. Piercings, tattoos, holes and body markings. Those are what you can notice on many of the images posted in various social media. Are people getting more and more daring just for the sake of finding out what’s beauty and ideal? Or was it just a fad of flaunting one’s confidence and ego in competing with those who most people think are beautiful and ideal?

Ideal is a just a state of the mind.

Are people getting more and more overconfident deterring that being ‘ideal is just a state of mind’? Are people making the social media a mirror to see if they still appeal despite their looks, whatever other people might think or say? Is it really just about conquering one’s fear of being tagged as unlikely or likely despite the odds that people might say? Is the act a way of getting sympathy and justice for what one’s body has become?

The Selfie generation.

Ever since ‘Selfie’ hype was introduced in the social media circulation, more and more people are making it a standard of what was ideal and acceptable.  The hype pushes the different social media network to police and impose standards and censorship on what images are acceptable to be posted without going through the boundaries of pornography, self-expression morals and decency. The various social media networks tried hard by warning and closing out accounts of those supposedly violating the rules. But because of the global and worldwide circulation of their pages and the laws and rules governing each region and nation, it’s like going into the slim and narrow eye of a needle on every standard and rules being observed by every region in the world. As such, restriction on image viewing greatly lies on every region’s internet access and digital refinements.

A personal choice.

Whichever state of reason or advocacy you may have in showing off your body over social media networks it is definitely changing everyone’s perception and outlook of what was the standard of idealism in terms of beauty and likeness.  A way to outsmart one’s imperfections and regain your lost esteem and confidence. Perhaps, something alternative to fight bullies and avoid going into artificial ways of physical changing of going under the knife of physical makeover. A way to stand by your own personal choice and uphold what you believe suits and is best for you.

What about you?

Are you brave enough to show what you’ve got and be awesome?

Are you IN or OUT?

How the Filipino Conquer The World Through Laughter

We often can read or hear, 'Laughter is the best medicine.'  But can laughter really cure?  Aside from its relief to put away sadness, can laughter and being happy cures diseases and illnesses? But does science really have significant facts to prove this?  Well it certainly does! Believe it or not a good hearted laughter can relax the muscles and may last for 45 minutes. Laughter can trigger the release of the body's so-called feel good natural body hormone called endorphins which are the body's immunity cells that fights pain, physical tension, stress and serves as the body's infection-fighting anti bodies improving and strengthening the body against resistance to diseases and illnesses.  It does not only support the body's physical health but likewise promote mental and psychological balance.
Laughter can be achieved in so many forms and instances and its a natural and inherent mood and feeling of every human being has.  Doctors need not prescribe nor can you buy laughter and happiness over the counter.  It is FREE and you can have it without diagnosis nor will there be doses to have it.  

But this free medicine sometimes can be so rare and elusive to have.  And people sometimes pay or offer to pay just to be happy. Thus some people even tagged 'Happiness is priceless.'  But really now, why can some people have the hardest time to laugh or just be happy to be.  Happiness is being tagged along with satisfaction and contentment.  They say people by nature are insatiable.  People always look for something lacking and incomplete.  People always have the way to ridicule and be ridiculous and entertain the feeling and idea of being incomplete, unsatisfactory and imperfections.  

And because of these feelings of unsatisfactory and being insatiable, people refuse to be happy and reject the body's natural healing elements, allow and refuse the body to heal from pain, stress, tension, anxiety and worst of all depression creeps in engulfing and looming the body with  discomfort and illnesses.

In the subject video above.  a Filipino doctor, Dr. Nathaniel Cruz, who acted his own self video showed how social media can influenced people through satire and laughter.  Although the satirical medium dwell on the issue of being poor and the social class on the effect of technology on social classes and media.  The fact and essence of bringing laughter and not ridicule in facing the realities of life highlights a social class typical of being a Filipino being a happy people  and being content even with just being happy in a selfie mood despite his being poor and hunger.  The video may convey the social dogma on  Philippines and Filipinos being a super 'Selfie' addict.  It also conveys that Philippines being the texting capital of the world have integrated technology even to the poorest of the poor and that happiness and contentment can easily be achieved by a mere 'text' or selfie act, an inexpensive way to attain happiness and satisfaction.  Odd it may seem to many but the happiness it brought to the subject person in the video is immeasurable that even money cannot buy. This probably will explain why Philippines and the Filipino people can weather any calamities, and even being poor in the most positive way through being happy and the Filipino being a happy people.  The video won on America Meet World contest, a US-based comedy video contest that featured 138 video from 21 different countries around the world.

Breakthrough: Origin of Alzeimer’s Disease in the Brain Now Revealed

[image from huffington post]

Medical scientists led by Professor Scott Small, director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Columbia University in New York along with co-author Professor Karen Duff, also from Columbia University have pinpointed the origin in the brain where Alzheimer’s originally started.  In a recent scientific study, it seems the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) was the initial place in the brain where it all started. LEC was part of a region in the brain called hippocampus responsible for storing our long term memories.  It is where reduced metabolic activity occurred first.

                                               

Further study revealed that as we grow old the effect that started in the LEC area manifest like a domino effect spreading to other areas in the brain.  Alzheimer’s was characterized by the presence of deposits called beta amyloid plaques and tangles of tau protein.  Together these two proteins initiates the damage of neurons in the LEC and so Alzheimer’s proliferates the area and spreads to other parts of the brain.

The study was concluded after observing high resolution brain scans of 96 healthy individual adults aged over 65.  Of which 12 exhibited the symptoms.  The change in declining memory occurred when after the 12 volunteered individuals was free of dementia and the rest of the 84 has no manifestations of Alzheimer’s. It was further tested on mice and the same result happened.

This breakthrough on the discovery of the origin of the Alzheimer’s will aid on early detection of the disease on adults and treating it before it spreads thus preventing and curing Alzheimer’s Disease.  The study will also aid for potential new drug to cure the disease.
