A Journey of Life

on how to fight this pandemic

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 01:02:00 +0800

In this time of pandemic, one thing we have in common as mommies is to protect our children and ourselves. We bought vitamins to boost our kids immune system. We focus on Vitamins C because we knew that Vitamin C gives the most effective and nutrients to our body to fight common colds. Just like the pandemic the whole world experiencing now.

I just want to share this Vitamins that my kids are taking. I don't know if it common for children to take Vitamin D but a friend of mine introduce me this Vitamins and it works so well with my kids. If you heard about Fern C the common Vitamin C . Then , now they introduce Vitamin D called Fern D .

Here I can share you the benefits of Vitamin D in our body.

1. Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is produced by the body as a response to sun exposure; it can also be consumed in food or supplements.
Having enough vitamin D is important for a number of reasons, including maintaining healthy bones and teeth; it may also protect against a range of conditions such as cancer, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.

Vitamin D has multiple roles in the body, helping to:

Maintain the health of bones and teeth.
Support the health of the immune system, brain, and nervous system.
Regulate insulin levels and aid diabetes management.
Support lung function and cardiovascular health.
Influence the expression of genes involved in cancer development.

What is vitamin D?

Vitamin D is actually not a vitamin.
Despite the name, vitamin D is considered a pro-hormone and not actually a vitamin.

Vitamins are nutrients that cannot be created by the body and therefore must be taken in through our diet.

However, vitamin D can be synthesized by our body when sunlight hits our skin.

It is estimated that sensible sun exposure on bare skin for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times per week allows most people to produce sufficient vitamin D, but vitamin D breaks down quite quickly, meaning that stores can run low, especially in winter.

Recent studies have suggested that a substantial percentage of the global population is vitamin D deficient.

Health benefits of vitamin D
This section looks at the potential health benefits of vitamin D, from assisting good bone health to possible cancer prevention.

1) Vitamin D for healthy bones

Vitamin D is vital for bone health.
Vitamin D plays a substantial role in the regulation of calcium and maintenance of phosphorus levels in the blood, two factors that are extremely important for maintaining healthy bones.

We need vitamin D to absorb calcium in the intestines and to reclaim calcium that would otherwise be excreted through the kidneys.

Vitamin D deficiency in children can cause rickets, a disease characterized by a severely bow-legged appearance due to softening of the bones.

In adults, vitamin D deficiency manifests as osteomalacia (softening of the bones) or osteoporosis. Osteomalacia results in poor bone density and muscular weakness. Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease among post-menopausal women and older men.

2) Reduced risk of flu
Children given 1,200 International Units of vitamin D per day for 4 months during the winter reduced their risk of influenza A infection by over 40 percent.
3) Reduced risk of diabetes
Several observational studies have shown an inverse relationship between blood concentrations of vitamin D in the body and risk of type 2 diabetes. In people with type 2 diabetes, insufficient vitamin D levels may negatively effect insulin secretion and glucose tolerance. In one particular study, infants who received 2,000 International Units per day of vitamin D had an 88 percent lower risk of developing type 1 diabetes by the age of 32.
4) Healthy infants
Children with normal blood pressure who were given 2,000 International Units (IU) per day had significantly lower arterial wall stiffness after 16 weeks compared with children who were given only 400 IU per day.
Low vitamin D status has also been associated with a higher risk and severity of atopic childhood diseases and allergic diseases, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and eczema. Vitamin D may enhance the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids, making it potentially useful as a supportive therapy for people with steroid-resistant asthma.
5) Healthy pregnancy
Pregnant women who are deficient in vitamin D seem to be at greater risk of developing preeclampsia and needing a cesarean section. Poor vitamin D status is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women. It is also important to note that high vitamin D levels during pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of food allergy in the child during the first 2 years of life.
6) Cancer prevention
Vitamin D is extremely important for regulating cell growth and for cell-to-cell communication. Some studies have suggested that calcitriol (the hormonally active form of vitamin D) can reduce cancer progression by slowing the growth and development of new blood vessels in cancerous tissue, increasing cancer cell death, and reducing cell proliferation and metastases. Vitamin D influences more than 200 human genes, which could be impaired when we do not have enough vitamin D.
Vitamin D deficiency has also been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, autism, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma severity, and swine flu, however more reliable studies are needed before these associations can be proven. Many of these benefits occur through Vitamin D's positive effect on the immune system
Recommended intake of vitamin D
Vitamin D tablets
The amount of vitamin D you need depends on your age.
Vitamin D intake can be measured in two ways: in micrograms (mcg) and International Units (IU).
One microgram of vitamin D is equal to 40 IU of vitamin D.
The recommended intakes of vitamin D throughout life were updated by the U.S. Institutes of Medicine (IOM) in 2010 and are currently set at:
Infants 0-12 months - 1000 IU 
Children 1-18 years - 2000 IU 
Adults to age 70 - 4000 IU 
Adults over 70 - 6000 IU 
Pregnant or lactating women - 6000 IU 
Vitamin D deficiency
Although the body can create vitamin D, there are many reasons deficiency can occur. For instance, darker skin color and the use of sunscreen reduce the body's ability to absorb the ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) rays from the sun needed to produce vitamin D.
A sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 30 can reduce the body's ability to synthesize the vitamin by 95 percent. To start vitamin D production, the skin has to be directly exposed to sunlight, not covered by clothing.
People who live in northern latitudes or areas of high pollution, work at night and stay home during the day, or are homebound should aim to consume extra vitamin D from food sources whenever possible. Infants who are exclusively breast-fed need a vitamin D supplement, especially if they are dark-skinned or have minimal sun exposure. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all breastfed infants receive 400 IU per day of an oral vitamin D supplement; drops made specifically for babies are available.
Although vitamin D supplements can be taken, it is best to obtain any vitamin or mineral through natural sources wherever possible.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency may include:
Getting sick or infected more often.
Fatigue.
Painful bones and back.
Depressed mood.
Impaired wound healing.
Hair loss.
Muscle pain.
If Vitamin D deficiency continues for long periods of time it can result in:
obesity
diabetes
hypertension
depression
fibromyalgia
chronic fatigue syndrome
osteoporosis
neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease

Hello I'm Back

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:57:00 +0800

Hello my dear readers and fellow bloggers. How you doin' guys? It's been a long time that I haven't visited here or give a chance to write a little journals.

Life is not the same anymore since I went home and left Israel for good. Many things happen, some are good and some are not bad enough.

Here back in my page, I will try my best to write an updates of my journey and also an article that might be interesting for you and for some readers of this blog. Being a working mom now, I have to divide my time.

Feeling Restless and Stressful

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 01:31:00 +0800

Life is full of ups and down and I'm thankful that despite of life experiences I've been through I'm still here to see this beautiful world. I always look life in a positive way, weather it is too hard to achieve, but feeling confident I know that in every problems there is a solution. God will not give me any trials if I could not make it.

As a human being, I truly said that sometimes I also lost my confidence. If I feel this way all the negative thoughts control my life. Just lately, I feel so restless and psychologically stressful. My mind, my heart are so disturb. Full of apprehension that made me feel sick all the time. Sometimes I have irregular heartbeat that made me a little bit afraid. That was why I stop blogging for a while because I cannot concentrate what to write. I diagnosed myself because I don't want to see a doctor and give me some medication which I don't like to take. Although I'm a bit scared, however , I try to be normal and updating chikas at facebook... ^_^

I appreciate your visit here guys and I'll catch up on you whenever possible. I will be busy also for the following weeks because I have to train my replacement here at work. I'm away for a short holiday as well before going home. I'll be in the Philippines in two weeks time. See yeah, blogger friends in Davao City.!

Learn How to Cope with your Anger

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 23:47:00 +0800

Listening the moaning every minute of the day makes me sick, and tired. In fact, she is absolutely stubborn old woman that irritates me. She drove me mad this morning to do things that can affect her conditions made me so impatient and hot tempered that leads to argument. I cannot control my emotions and did say something to her that I regret and feel ashamed. I forgot who I was dealing with at that moment. However, I don't want to be blame by her children, God forbid, what will happen to her. I did the right thing but I got hurt with my action and ruined my day.

I'm a person with a lot of patience but I realized, the older I am, without exaggeration I become so impatient, get irritated so easily and get angry quickly. Sometimes I cannot control and managed it. I keep going on and on.

Learn how you can cope with your anger in a healthy and constructive way from Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, a National Certified Councilor base in Raton, Florida and an eHow contributor.

1. Realize that anger is a normal human emotion. It is neither good nor bad - it just is. It is what you do with your anger that counts. Once you take away the idea that anger is "bad", it can be much easier to deal with it.

2. Know your body's reactions to anger. When you get angry, does your heart start racing? Do you start to sweat? Does it feel like you might explode? Do you even get so angry that you don't remember what you've said and done until it's all over? The first step towards coping with your anger is knowing when it is coming. That way you can take steps to calm yourself down before your anger gets out of control. It is especially helpful to know your body's signals if you have the type of anger where you go from calm to angry in a matter of seconds.

3. Know your triggers. Are their things that people say or do that really get your blood boiling? Know what these triggers are. Remember, that no matter what someone says or does, you are still responsible for your actions.

4. Look at what you are really angry at, or what you are really feeling. Are you really afraid or scared, and your anger is covering it up? Sometimes it can be easier to be angry than have to dig deep and look at what is scaring us. Are you really angry at your boss, or are you angry about what you feel is a loss of control over your life? Sometimes discovering the real reason for your anger can do a lot to abate it.

5. If your anger has hurt someone or offended them, apologize. You don't need to get into a long talk about your feelings and your issues with anger. Just tell the person that you acted inappropriately and that you are sorry.

6. Learn "time-out" techniques. If you know your body's signals for anger, take a step back as soon as you start feeling that "anger itch". Physically remove yourself from the situation. Take a walk outside. (It is not recommended that you drive off in your car, as anger can increase the chances of reckless driving.)

7. Get outside help. If your anger has gotten to the point where it is affecting your health, your relationships, or if you "black out" because you get so angry, seek the help of a professional. There are counselors that specialize in anger issues. Remember, getting help is a sign of strength, not of weakness.

2 Basic Things You Need To Know About Sim Cards and GSM Phones

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:12:00 +0800

In order to understand what is SIM card is and how a GSM phone works, you need to know the mechanism and benefits of both.

Do you feel a little overwhelmed with the thought that you will pay too much money to make only a few phone calls the next time you travel abroad? The roaming charged applied when making calls overseas can be astronomically high. However, there is a way to prevent such an unbearable cost. When traveling abroad, especially when you go to the US, you can bring an unlocked GSM phone with you and then buy a USA SIM card when you get there. Then, you will be able to make calls anywhere in the US with a local calling rate. To know more about a SIM card and a GSM phone, you need to review the information below to become even more knowledgeable about them.

SIM cards and the GSM phone mechanism

A SIM card, or a Subscriber Identity Module, is a handy memory chip that you can easily transfer from one cellular phone model to another. You can easily switch your SIM card from one phone to another by sliding the SIM out of your existing phone and placing it into another phone. Your SIM contains information on personal identity such as your cellular phone number, your text messages, your phonebook and other important data. You can consider it as your mini hard disk. A SIM card is used on a GSM phone that operates on a GSM communications network.

A GSM phone is a kind of mobile phone that uses GSM, or Global System Mobile, Communications to send and receive countless phone calls. GSM is considered the digital standard that was primarily presented and opened for business in 1991. Presently, it is known to be the most famous transmission technology in the entire world when it comes to mobile phones.

SIM card and GSM phone benefits

A SIM card is not only easily transferable from one phone to another, it also gives an international traveler ease in traveling by allowing him to bring only his GSM cellular phone and just buy a local SIM, which takes just a few minutes of time and allows the traveler to avoid paying those pricey roaming charges.

The use of GSM phones makes using SIM cards a snap because they provide easy accessibility to personal information, even when changing to new phone models. When switching from one phone to another, you can still make or receive calls with your same number. GSM phones with a GSM technology paved the way for the birth of text messaging within various countries. Text messaging is very popular in Asia and Europe. North America is beginning to catch up with its popularity, too. Moreover, US carriers use numerous technologies, including the use of third party gateways, in order to transmit text messages.

Welcome Yamashita's Corner

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 04:01:00 +0800

Try to convince someone who is not interested was really hard. But through snooping my blogs regularly, indeed, he finally made a new site in his name.

He made his blog named Yamashita's Corner two days ago but I just knew it today. He hided because he wanted to surprise me. I was surprised because I already stop convincing him. I cannot believe that he will change his mind. But when I asked him to promote his blog he asked that I should do it for him. LOL!

Thus, I invited everybody to support the blog site of my one and only love, yamashita. ^_^. I know that he is begging your help and I ask it from you my fellow blogger friends. His success and inspiration depends us and his readers too.

Your support is highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

For chumpoy, yamashita. I wish you all the luck.

Got A Headache

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 22:33:00 +0800

I went to my friend this afternoon to pick some things. When I got home, I feel so nauseated and tired accompanied by terrible headache. I drunk a lot of water which I normally does with this hot weather. Then lie down in bed. Finally, I feel better after half an hour rest.

How are headaches classified?

Headaches have numerous causes, and in 2007 the International Headache Society agreed upon an updated classification system for headache. Because so many people suffer from headaches and because treatment sometimes is difficult, it is hope that the new classification system will allow health care practitioners come to a specific diagnosis as to the type of headache and to provide better and more effective treatment.

There are three major categories of headaches:

Primary headaches - includes migraine, tension and cluster headaches, as well as a variety of other less common type of headaches. Tension headaches occurs commonly to women than men and this is the common type of primary headaches. Migrane are the second common type of primary headaches and it's affect children as well as adults. Then cluster headaches are a rare type of primary headaches. It is commonly affects men in their late 20's.

Primary headaches can affect the quality of life. Some people have occasional headaches that resolve quickly while others are debilitated. While these headaches are not life threatening, they may be associated with symptoms that can me mimic strokes or intracerebral bleeding.

2. Secondary headaches - these headaches are those that are due to an underlying structural problem in the head or neck. There are numerous causes of this type of headache ranging from bleeding in the brain, tumor, or meningitis and encephalitis.

3. Cranial neuralgias, facial pains, and other headaches. - Neuralgia means nerve pains. Cranial neuralgia describes a group of headaches that occur because the nerves in the head and upper neck become inflamed and become the source of the pain in the head. Facial pain and a variety of other causes for headache are included in this category.

Most people successfully treat themselves with over-the-counter pain medication. But beware also of those medications. It might have potential interactions specially if your taking special medications. Massage and rest can be helpful and if it worsen. It is wise to ask your health care practitioner. Just to be safe.

Paid Posting Review

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Sun, 8 Aug 2010 21:09:00 +0800

I never thought that blogging will become my daily routine. EC dropping, agitizing, visiting from one site to another. It gives me more enjoyment to sit in front of my computer rather than setting sometimes doing nothing at all. Until I learned that writing is one way to earn money online through sponsored reviews, paid per post and click per post.

Recently, I registered Blogvertise. A pay per post company who pay bloggers for reviewing about certain products or website. But of course it's not that easy. To be able to make money with blogvertise, first thing you have to do is to create an account in blogvertise and submit your active blog. Then they will check your blog qualities and if your pass the requirements they will approve it. Once your blog get approve by them, will receive a notification on your email about the opportunities. It is your choice to accept or decline the assign task given to you. Declining an assign task is very important for blogvertise to know so that they can quickly reassign it to someone who is eager for a task. Once you accept the assign task , you can post your review within five days.

Once the task has been approved you will be paid by blogvertise after 30 days via Paypal.

I wish through blogvertise I can earn and learn more in making money online. Wish me with all the best with blogvertise!

I Hate My Itchy Scalp

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 23:51:00 +0800

Have you see that photo? These is my problem for a few years already. I've been trying different kinds of remedies and went to the doctor for a few times too and they send me off some allergy medication that makes me too drowsy to do much anything and give me loads of smelly creams and sticky ointments that only mask the problem. I'm really tired and seek of it. And I get depressed when I see my scalp is flaking.

My sister has the same problem too, and her doctor advice her to use a T/Gel Therapeutic Original shampoo such as Netrogena. It helps control itching and flaking symptomatic of scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and even common dandruff. This rich T/Gel therapeutic shampoo lather gently cleanses, leaving hair lustrous and manageable even with everyday use.

She's been telling me that this skin problems has something to do with our genes. My father has the same problem too but he got it on his lower legs. He is been using dermovate cream ointment for ages.

On What I've Been Doing Lately

noreply@blogger.com (charmie) — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:14:00 +0800

Hey, guys, I'm back here. Happy Sunday to all and hope you enjoy your weekend ^-^

I missed these things, writing about myself, what I've been thinking or doing? Lately, I'm too lazy to do certain things. I enjoyed looking back those time when I was a little kid and happy to be with my siblings. It procrastinating my time until ends up in one pack because I have to do it quickly. In short unproductive and tiring days.

Going back those memories on my mind (it's always been a part of me)for the past few days that wasted my time. Modestly speaking, I've always been a good girl. For almost 19 years away without parental guidance, I have no choice but to be strong and to stand my own. From a country girl who never knew what city life is. But never, never came up to my mind to do things that can never be proud of especially to my family and to my self. However, there are times that on my journey towards my goal, there are people tries to break it. They stole the trust of my family and the people who cared and loved me. Partly they've won to destroy me but I'm still lucky eventually at the end I got back the trust they've been given me. It made me cry I cannot forgive those people, I tried too but the hate and the anger stayed here in my heart. Somehow, someday, time can heal the wound.

It made me surprised also that for 11 years that I've only seen my family once in a year for five days and now eight straight years without seeing them hit me to missed my mother so much. I know it's normal but I find it odd feelings, it's not like me, being away for many years I can't even remember the cooking of my mother. But then, I still remember her voice shouting at me. LOL! I can still remember the way she get angry with my father. I can't remember her touch but I can remember her smile. Certainly, mother has unconditional love and I know she missed me that much as I missed her too. I have spoken to her yesterday and that missed her a lot more. My relationship with my mother is not like what my siblings have, that probably had been missing between us. But I admire my mother so tenderly.

It made me think also that I wish people came with warning labels so I know which one to avoid. I know I'm not perfect, I have flaws also as a human being. A human being who is tired to those self-centered, selfish, thoughtless and careless people. People who waste so much of my time and energy. The most disapointing part is you get a long these people so well but also can get hard to handle every day. It's quiet the double edge sword for there is nothing like a genuine human caring response yet nothing as crushing or disappointing as cruel, thoughtless, insensitive response.

Those thoughts occupied my mind lately and I forgot the things I have to do..Such as

1. I have to pick up my box to my friend so that I could start packing now with my second box to be send home this end of the month.
2. I have to cut toenails of Sara. I forgot it for quiet a few days already

3. I have some ironing to do

And lastly, yesterday I had a big job and shouldn't be neglected even for a second. Hehehe! When we came home from the pool , water was flowing in the floor of the kitchen. Gee! Our freeze, suddenly turn off , the machine is not working.. Whew! So, I cleaned up and it lasted me two hours to finish. I cleaned the whole kitchen though hahaha!

Happy Sunday!
