Working Mom

Getting my kids to drink liquid multivitamins is getting harder and harder each day as they become older. So as a mother of two girls, one is 4 years old and the other one is 7 years old. This has become a challenge to me since my eldest is requesting chewable vitamins instead. It started out when I bought Ceelin Chewable Vitamins. I guess the chewable and candy effect is kinda effective, since she love to eat this every day. The first bottle I bought was now almost empty so I have to purchase a second bottle. So to make them take the multivitamins, I tried this new brand of Chewable Multivitamins with Iron in substitute to the originally liquid multivitamins with Iron. My pediatrician always recommends multivitamins with Iron to take together with vitamin C hand in hand.   Here's the multivitamins I bought. This is from Multicare. My youngest love the taste of orange flavor, but my eldest doesn't like the grape flavor of Zoiron, and the tablet is kinda hard to ch

For People with Cancer Induced Weight Loss , uniquely formulated, high protein, EPA-enriched ( EPA-Eicosapentaenoic Acid, An Omega-3 fatty acid ), Prosure is from Abbot or licensed by Abbot  Laboratories. I have purchased this milk (Prosure) just today. My father's doctor prescribed this milk to double the dosage intake of calorie he's been getting. Since a few days ago CT scan results shows that there is a recurrent of tumor on his neck. Unfortunately there are some signs of pain on his upper back which cause him to loose his appetite due to pain. So to  compensate the missing calorie Prosure was added to his daily diet, 1 scoop of Prosure added to 1 scoop of Sustagen premium. Twice a day. Prosure claims the following help: Promote weight gain. Increase lean body mass and strength. Enhance physical activity. Improve quality of life. Hopefully Prosure milk will help him a lot.  Good thing Prosure was invented these days, were modern drugs and milk already exists, b

I should be writing something fun and informative here but can't help. The feeling of anticipation for the result of my father's thyroid biopsy. Initially the major concern was hoarseness of his voice. We've consulted a few EENT doctors and Pulmunologist to confirm what's going on with his larynx. After a few laboratory test we found out that his left vocal chord was paralyzed.  For some unknown reason. EENT suggested a CT scan of chest and neck with contrast to check where the problem is coming from and found out that there is a mass, I don't know how they call it in medical terms, that's been a bit big and eventually reach his heart. An initial suggestion of the ENT doctor is an operation but we have to wait for the result of the biopsy to know if this mass is malignant or what, the ENT doctor also needs to wait for the cardiothoracic surgeon so that they can plan how the operation will go. Huh! As much as possible I don't want to hear this kind of

FISH OIL ? Is there really an oil in fish? Funny! I thought that fish has no oil since it is commonly eaten by people Generally fish oil is a mixture of lipids. Not literally means greasy oil as I thought. These lipids are from cold water fish. These fish has eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the major content of fish that helps restore the body's equilibrium after stress or injury. Here are the benefits of fish oil: Lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and heart attack (it lessen the changes in heart rhythm). Reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Helps visual development in premature babies. It is also said that eating fish lessen the risk of chronic bronchitis and emphysema (calling all smokers). Many tend to conclude that whatever the benefits of fish will be found in fish oil supplement.  It makes sense to me. Plus count the fact that whatever the impurities of fish is already eliminated in fish oil supplement. (Which is good.

Green tea is one of my favorite drinks at Yoshinoya, (A Japanese fast food chain known for its tasty foods at an affordable price).  I like the taste of it since it’s not too sweet. If this is the first time you will taste it, it may taste grassy, but when you get used to it, its taste is refreshing. (I’m talking about a cold green tea with a touch of lemon).  This is one kind of preparation of the tea, though it may be served hot or cold. Oh I love it with ice especially on hot season. Green tea is good for our health if we take it moderately.   It has polyphenols (a plant substance) that prevents cancer and cardiovascular or heart disease . A study conducted in toxicity of polyphenols, has shown that excessive consumption of green tea, can cause kidney and liver disease. As a green tea drinker we should not be worried that we might have a kidney and liver disease, since it only occurs to those people who take the green tea supplement.

(Any medical issue written here is not for you to follow, it is only additional information regarding about the topic. If you will take any pills please see a doctor first!) Women today married or not, have tried to take hormonal pills. It can be for contraception purposes or for  medication. Taking pills for the purpose of medication is not questionable since we are using it to treat a certain illness. But what concerns me more is, a lot of teenagers today are taking pills without consent (Of course who would want to know that they are sexually active). But before diving in to taking pills, there are things that we must know. “Any synthetically made pills have side effects.” According to one doctor I’ve talked to, it can trigger diabetes plus it is not allowed to women with hypertension. That’s why you need to consult an OB/GYN before you take any pills or medicine. To make things clear, pills has two hormone content, it is the oestrogen and progestogen. These two hormones are pr
