Sorry guys but I'm kind of diet and vegetarian now. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I eat a little rice, much fruits and some fresh veggies like apple, cucumber, singkamas, mango and durian.I prepare carrot juice too.

Lately, i eat dark chocolate though it taste so bitter but i need to, for it is good for the heart
Couple with exercise and walking, i am now feeling better and improving. My difficulty in
breathing also not so bad compare to many months ago.
Meditation also helps.

I'm glad you are feeling better and improving! I could easily be a vegitarian. My wife, Carol, doesn't think she could. She doesn't think she has eaten unless she has had meat. I went more than two years eating nothing except oatmeal for breakfasts, and salads every day because I liked the salads that they made where I worked, and they were provided for me as part of my return for working. I got a chicken fillet everyday also, but I gave that to Carol, and brought a lot of them home to give to the kids. I had so much salad with good stuff on it, that I often ate that for supper as well. I also many times ate peanut butter and honey, and drank milk for my supper. I would stock up and have six or eight half gallons of peanut butter and about that many quarts of honey, then I would eat them on a regular basis.

My mother used to give me dark bitter cooking chocolate for a treat when I was a little boy. I developed a taste for the dark chocolate and I would rather eat that than any other kind of candy. One of my daughters gave me a sack of dark chocolate for Christmas. I also found a bunch of dark chocolate, cooking, nonsweetened in a discounted grocery shopping cart, so I had that for a snack for quite a while. Meditate on the things of the Lord helps immensely.

once while chatting with a filipina friend, after i explained to her that my diet is mostly raw fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds (because of genesis 1:29), she suggested, if i'm serious about finding my kapuso asawa, maybe i should come to mindanao and hang out on the campus of MVC (the 7th day adventist college in valencia) because they also are vegetarian .... hehehe... i think she was serious (maybe), but i laughed and laughed at the thought of me standing outside the classrooms waiting for classes to be dismissed... so i can "hit on" 19 and 20 year old filipina college students .... oh well, hehehe, it was a good laugh

A combination of fruits and vegetables and a small piece of meat is good for the body.
More water intake helps prevent diseases and water therapy while trimming down.

A health news article I found in the news:

10 symptoms not to ignore
Low energy, backaches could indicate health problems

previous next
•
• 1) I’m not fat, but I do have a muffin top.
• 2) Sometimes sex hurts.
• 3) I always feel sluggish.
• 4) My gums bleed when I brush my teeth.
• 5) Heartburn hits me a few times a week.
• 6) My migraines come with aura.
• 7) My back constantly aches.
• 8) My asthma flares up about once a month.
• 9) I feel sleep-deprived daily.
• 10) I missed a period, but I’m not pregnant.
• Low energy, backaches, AWOL periods. Sound familiar? You may need to see your doc, stat! “Harmless” symptoms like these can forecast scary health problems.
By Stacey Colino, Self
• 1) I’m not fat, but I do have a muffin top.
What’s the big deal? A waist circumference of more than 35 inches may put you at risk for metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raises your risk for diabetes and heart disease, even if you’re at a healthy weight. “Belly fat also presses on the lungs, especially when you bend at the waist, making breathing more difficult,” says Gerald Fletcher, M.D., a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. And it can release inflammatory chemicals that aggravate airways, so breathing becomes harder still.
Act now. Fight middle jiggle with interval training, bursts of intense exercise in your workout that rev heart rate and burn body fat faster. And swap simple carbohydrates such as white bread, candy and cookies for whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or lowfat cheese. “The combination of whole-grain carbs and protein digests slowly, helping you avert spikes in insulin, a hormone that promotes fat storage,” says Molly Kimball, R.D., a sports dietitian at Ochsner Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans. And aim to get no more than 10 percent of your total calories from added sugar.
2) Sometimes sex hurts.
What’s the big deal? (Besides the obvious, we mean!) You may have endometriosis, a disorder in which the endometrium, the tissue that lines the uterus, also grows on the ovaries, pelvis and fallopian tubes. The misplaced tissue still sheds during your period, causing local inflammation and scarring in the pelvis that can make sex painful, explains Harvey J. Kliman, M.D., at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. Untreated, endometriosis can lead to infertility and possibly even tumors that could develop into certain types of ovarian cancer.
Act now. Consider the Pill, which thins endometrial tissue, making periods lighter and lowering the chances that discarded tissue will end up in the pelvis. Another easy remedy? Skip pads and use tampons. “They help remove tissue debris from the pelvic region,” Dr. Kliman says. And as always, protect the health of your sex life by seeing your ob/gyn annually.
• 3) I always feel sluggish.
What’s the big deal? If you’ve ruled out the usual suspects (such as fast food addiction, insomnia or a lapsed gym membership), low energy could signal an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolism, heart rate and more. “When hormone production is even slightly low, you can suffer a decline in mental function or develop depression, poor circulation or hypertension, all of which increase heart disease risk,” explains Leonard Wartofsky, M.D., chairman of the department of medicine at the Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C.
Act now. If thyroid disorders run in your family, or if you have other signs of hypothyroidism such as a puffy face, weight gain or hoarseness, a blood test can determine if your thyroid’s performance is subpar; if so, taking a synthetic hormone can help.
• 4) My gums bleed when I brush my teeth.
What’s the big deal? You may have gum disease, a bacterial infection that affects millions. “Infected gums are a portal for bacteria to enter the bloodstream and inflame and possibly damage your heart and other organs,” says Steven Offenbacher, D.D.S., at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry.
Act now. Root cleaning (which rids your teeth of rough spots where germs gather) can help treat infection, and severe cases may be managed with antibiotics, Dr. Offenbacher says. For healthy gums for life, floss and brush at least twice a day and schedule a dental exam every six months.
5) Heartburn hits me a few times a week.
What’s the big deal? Two or more heartburn bouts a week could indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease, in which the valve between the stomach and throat doesn’t always keep stomach acids from splashing up into the esophagus. These acid baths can constrict airways, leading to asthma attacks and pneumonia, and elevate the risk for esophageal cancer, warns Charlene Prather, M.D., associate professor of internal medicine at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
Act now. Weight around your waist can press on your stomach, forcing up acids, so make sure your body-mass index is in a healthy range. Avoid large or fatty meals, which worsen reflux, and record what foods preceded your symptoms and leave them off your grocery list.”
Meatless meals that slim
• 6) My migraines come with aura.
What’s the big deal? Up to 30 percent of migraine sufferers have aura — a visual disturbance (such as spots or flashing lights) and sometimes motor weakness or tingling sensations — which roughly doubles their risk for ischemic stroke. “One theory is that changes in brain activity where the aura originates temporarily decrease blood flow to the area and, in rare cases, do enough damage to cause a stroke,” says Elizabeth Loder, M.D., chief of the division of headache and pain at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Act now. “Think carefully about using birth control with estrogen, which can also raise your risk for stroke,” Dr. Loder advises. To head off migraines, ID and avoid your personal triggers (food preservatives and stress are common ones), and ask your doctor if taking an Rx at the first sign of headache can help you avert an attack.
• 7) My back constantly aches.
What’s the big deal? Chronic back pain that lingers six months or more is linked with a loss of brain volume that’s equivalent to 10 to 20 years of normal aging, research at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago shows. “We don’t know why exactly — it has to do with how the brain adapts to pain — but the decline can damage our ability to assess emotional cues and control emotion,” says study co-author A. Vania Apkarian, Ph.D.
Act now. Strong ab and pelvic muscles help support your back, so try core-strengthening pilates or yoga. Always maintain proper posture, says Jeffrey Gross, M.D., of New York University School of Medicine in New York City. And keep your computer screen front and center and at eye level to prevent neck and spine strain.
Your ultimate guide to great legs
8) My asthma flares up about once a month.
What’s the big deal? “Asthma-related inflammation damages lung tissue and, if inadequately treated, can reduce lung capacity, which strains the heart,” notes Rachel Koelsch, M.D., an asthma and allergy specialist at The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. In fact, women with asthma have a 22 percent greater risk for heart disease, reports Kaiser Permanente’s Division of Research in Oakland, California. “Even if you have only occasional attacks with no symptoms between, you can have hidden inflammation,” Dr. Koelsch says.
Act now. Steer clear of cigarette smoke, perfume and other chemicals that irritate lungs, and see your doctor every 6 to 12 months to update your easy-breathing plan.
• 9) I feel sleep-deprived daily.
What’s the big deal? Your fatigue could stem from obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which throat muscles temporarily relax and block airways while you sleep. “This activates a surge in adrenaline that spikes your heart rate and blood pressure so you start breathing again,” says Carol Ash, D.O., a pulmonary and sleep medicine specialist in Jamesburg, New Jersey. Over time, OSA increases your risk for diabetes, stroke and more.
Act now. Lose excess pounds to relieve pressure on your breathing passages, and sleep on your side to prevent your tongue from sliding back and blocking your airway. Also, avoid alcohol, which slows the brain’s response to paused breathing. Still exhausted? Your doc may prescribe a continuous positive airway pressure machine, a mask that sends air into your nose or mouth as you sleep.
• 10) I missed a period, but I’m not pregnant.
What’s the big deal? You might not mind if your period does a disappearing act, but it could mean your estrogen levels are low, possibly due to a hormone disorder like hypothyroidism. That’s bad news, because estrogen helps regulate new bone formation and maintain a healthy heart. “Just three months without a period could affect your fertility and increases your risk for osteoporosis and heart disease,” says Nanette Santoro, M.D., professor and chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Colorado at Denver.
Act now. If your period is MIA for more than three months, ask your ob/gyn about getting screened for hormone disorders. Maintaining a healthy weight can also help restore your estrogen levels and menstrual cycle.
OMG in b-e-d (have more fun!)

Limitations of Drugs
The antibiotic is commonly prescribed medication. It takes years of research and lots of researchers to test and perfect an antibiotic. But then, like most drugs, the antibiotic still has harmful side effects. In contrast, the myriad antibodies our immune system uses are completely safe and may be mass-produced very quickly.
It was only recently that experts realized just how much immune response contributes to a healthy and long life. Previously, it was common belief that doctors and drugs could cure almost any disease. But recent medical advances have shown that the immune system can fight the threat of new, incurable diseases.
For example, before the rise of cancer and AIDS or new viral epidemics like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), not so much attention was given to the roles of Nutritional Immunology and the immune system in protecting the body.
There may be a small number of drugs that could help stimulate the immune system. However, the immune system involves a highly complicated interaction between millions of cells as well as chemicals and organs. These immune components know exactly how, when and where their action is needed to defeat invading substances without harming other cells of the body. Therefore, science would be hard-pressed to find a drug that could replace or replicate the immune system.
A clear example is when we have a cold. Cold medicine offers only short-term relief as the medicine only alleviates the symptoms. However, when we get good rest and have proper nutrition, the immune system regenerates and expels the virus quickly, bringing an end to our cold. It is once again clear that the most effective doctor in the world is the one that resides inside us!

It is better to ear vegetables and fruits to have a healthy body. No other best doctor in the world but our immune system. To strengthen our immune system, we need to eat variety of fruits and vegetables. according to the doctors, we need to eat more than 10 kinds of fruits and vegetables to have a strong immune system. Also do some exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
