Cool Health Tips for a Hot Weather in the Philippines

Posted on April 18, 2012 by sweetmom

With a really hot weather, you might break out and put your health to high levels of risks. Actually, getting careful on a hot season should only take a little effort from your side and a simple common-sense.

Day-to-day activities can be strenuous, even a simple walking or running wears you out on a hot day. These together with air temperature result to a, really, warm core body temperature. Now, your body reacts to such situation by transferring more blood infusions all through out your skin. You will feel a cold sensation, as a result. The bad thing in here is that lesser blood is left for the muscles. That is why, at the same time, you will feel your heart beat increasing and faster.

Have a cooler summer!

During a hot day, more stressed is experienced, because your sweat is only able to evaporate slowly, with the heavy humid around, it competes in part. This should, also, heighten body temperature, as well.

How To Reduce Weight Naturally

Posted on March 22, 2012 by sweetmom

Really? Is there such a way to reduce weight naturally?

Wait, before I answer that let me tell you first that I’m a little bit few marks higher on weighing scale than my supposed to be natural weight. The good news is, according to my recent visit to my doctor,  I lost 2 pounds since the last time I visited him.  I think the biggest factor that helps me to loose weight is my active participation in mountain biking and running. I actually had my first 10KM run during Run United last March 04, 2012.

The other reason, although I dreaded the word “DIET”, is the body cleansing through…diet. And this is where how to reduce weight naturally comes in.

You see, our body detoxify itself daily. However, if we don’t monitor what we eat, there’s a tendency that our body systems become overload with toxic and wastes. These wastes  comes mostly from processed foods and even pollutants that we breathe in.

Cleanse diet detox helps us by getting rid of the harmful  and toxic matter from our body. It is also designed to increase our body stamina and energy.

The next question you might have in your mind right now is, isn’t dieting expensive that requires a special menu? Continue reading →

Can’t Sleep Due To Excitement?

Posted on March 11, 2012 by sweetmom

No, I’m not having a sleep disorder nor a sleep apnea. My problem (and my husband too ) is I can’t sleep the night before “big days. “These big days are either a big event like before going to a vacation, or simply our scheduled running and trail biking.

Tomorrow we will have a sort of bike ride reunion with our bike buddies. My husband prepared the bikes already making sure they are conditioned to take on the rough trails that we will hit by sunrise.  On my part, I prepared all the gears that we are going to use. stay awake cartoonThe problem is, due to excitement, I can’t get a decent sleep. What worrying me actually is to make myself fully awake during our almost whole day bike ride.

I don’t drink coffee. Yup, that’s the reality. Besides, I don’t take those so called “energy drinks” as well. I do take chocolate drinks but not during a bike ride or run.

During our run last week, my brother gave me a sort of vitamins to drink before I race on  my first ever 10KM run.  I almost forgot the name of the pill, good thing I still have extra on my hydration belt bag. The brand is called Provil.  My brother told me it’s FDA approved as wakefulness aid medication. He suggested to buy provigil online if I want more, but I told him Continue reading →

Posted on February 24, 2012 by sweetmom

Here’s the best tip to make your nail polish last longer: Avoid doing dishes!

But as a mom, specially mom who stays at home while their kids are out in the school and with a hubby who’s doing his best to be a good provider, we can’t avoid putting our hands in the water. Aside from the fact that skin and nails lose moisture with age, the dryness is compounded by frequent hand washing.

nail polish tips

Now to really make your nail polish longer, take a look at some of my personal and tested tips:

  1. Make sure your nails are  perfectly smooth, clean and buffed. This is to make sure the nail polish has a clean surface to attach to.
