This year, I will be turning forty and I am panicking already. For years, I have been trying to keep the signs of aging away from my face like wrinkles, blemishes and dark spots. I have invested on expensive creams for my eyes and I seek minor surgeries for my face and body. It always makes me feel good when people says that I look like I am still on my twenties. I have spent a fortune in preserving my youthful glow and slim body.
Then last month, my mother paid me a visit and when I saw her, I was surprised. She looked younger than I am. I immediately asked her who is her dermatologist. She just smiled at me and told me she has a secret in having an ageless beauty and healthy body. And her secret was, antioxidants.
Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. When the cells of the body is protected from damage caused by free radicals, it will make you bloom from inside and out. My mother learned that free radicals formation may lead to diseases like cancer and the best way to stop the formation of the deadly disease if by having enough antioxidants in the body. Antioxidants pose a great help in the body together with proper diet and regular exercise, getting a healthy body and a beautiful skin need not be expensive. A coffee in the morning can give you an instant boost of energy as well as antioxidants. Antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as in other foods including nuts, grains and some meats, poultry and fish.

My father had been complaining about stomachaches since last month. But he did not want to have a medical check up since the pain often subsides after a few minutes. But when he saw blood in his stool that when he had a check up. And he was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer.
My father is a heavy caffeine drinker and he often misses a meal in a day due to his work. The doctor explained to us that the lining in my father’s stomach was damaged in one place and the acid and pepsin break it down as though digesting it. Hydrochloric acid and pepsin are the digestive juices that aids in breaking down of the food in the stomach. When the lining of the digestive system becomes impaired due to different factors it will be easily damaged by the acid and pepsin. My father undergone a endoscopy and x-ray examinations before he was scheduled for more examinations and a surgery.
When a person is hungry the stomach releases more acid that can weaken the lining of the stomach and when you miss a meal, the digestive juices will digest an empty stomach resulting to a damaged place in the stomach and ulcer. The thinning of the mucous coating of the stomach makes it more susceptible to the damaging effects if acid and pepsin. The most common types of surgery for ulcers are vagotomy which involve the cutting of of the vagus nerve that reduces the acid secretion through the brain. Other surgery than can be done are the antrectomy and pyloroplasty.

I was born with a sweet tooth and I love eating sweets. But it was not the main reason why I had a diabetes. My pancreas does not produce the needed amount of insulin for my body. I was included in the medical list of people who have a weak pancreas. My love for sweets even triggered the diabetes more. I tried eating sugar free foods but the satisfaction I get from those foods is different from the food made from real sugar. My indulgence makes the disease harder to combat.
Diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. People with diabetes have high blood sugar. This is because their pancreas does not make enough insulin or their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to insulin normally, or both. There are three type of diabetes, the type 1 wherein the body makes little or no insulin at all, it usually starts at childhood. The second type is the type 2 which often occur in adults wherein the pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to the insulin. The third type is the Gestational diabetes that develops during pregnancies. A sedentary lifestyle contributes to having a diabetes as well as obesity.
A distant relative of mine just recently had a leg amputation after his toe had been pinched by a nail cutter. When you have diabetes, wounds are difficult to heal due to the sugar content in the blood. A diabetic needs to inject insulin for the rest of his life to maintain the sugar balance in his body. Sugar is prohibited, that is the bitter side of having a diabetes.

The moment I started going to school when I was four years old, I have been taught about the importance fo exercise. Even when I landed in a job, the company keeps a fitness room where the employees can stretch, ride a stationary bike, walk in the treadmill and sweat out during breaks or offs.
Exercise is any form of physical activity that helps to promote overall health. Most movement of the body is considered beneficial, as long as it is done in moderation and at the skill level of the person. There are different kinds of exercises, the aerobic exercise, athletic activity, cardiovascular fitness, physical fitness, sports, weightlifting, weight loss, weight training , sports like swimming, baseball and even regular household chores like gardening as well as brisk walking.
Exercise can be done at home, in school, at work and now people would like to have an exercise regimen at the fitness gym. Most regular exercise plans adjusted for the abilities and goals of the patient are about equally beneficial. But exercise that causes extreme pain or discomfort is considered by many experts as unhealthy, and may even cause permanent damage to the body. Exercising on a regular basis may decrease the risk of developing many illnesses, such as heart disease.
