If you can visualize the wonderful thins that can come out of a job well done its the mommy track then it will be easier for you to handle the sacrifices required.

Brain Damaging Habit

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Because:

Evening at 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in a un-relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

Spending This Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and shopping mood is kicking in. This is what I love about Christmas the sense of giving. Almost everyone has the urge to give. But I don’t know if this is healthy or not. In this time of financial crises I know spending drastically could hurt your pockets.

I know a lot of people who seriously loan just to have shopping money this coming holiday season. I am not saying that it isn’t a wise move; it’s more of a risky move. If you don’t watch out your spending activity this holiday season you are more likely to suffer financial crash in the first quarter of the following year.

I suggest you make a very practical list or forecast of your future expenses this holiday season. Or if don’t have the patience for this thing you can consult a consumer credit counseling. If any of the two options doesn’t appeal to you I just advice you to spend carefully.

I hope I have imparted financial awareness or something to that effect. It is better being aware, prepared and practical than be sorry in the end. Have a blessed and abundant holiday season to you all.

"Brain Damage Habits"

1. No Breakfast - People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
   This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
   
   
2. Overeating - It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
   
   
3. Smoking - It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
   
   
4. High Sugar consumption - Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution - The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation - Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping - Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness - Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts - Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely - Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Buying your dream home?

For more of our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW’s) buying a house (or a lot or condo unit) is the biggest investment they will make in their lives. But to get a good value for their hard earned money, they should keep in mind these things:

Don’t carry away. The model houses and their interiors we see on the Internet, brochures and scale models are inviting. But examine carefully what you’re buying. We can be very meticulous when we do that.

Know the developer, check the developer history and track record, especially its accomplished and current projects. Even it you’re abroad you can do research by checking on the internet for details about the developer.

Look for the licenses, be sure you’ll be buying from a developer that has the license to sell from the Housing Land Use and Regulatory Board (HLURB).That means it has complied with the board requirements.

Follow the development, most projects offer pre-selling. Since the buying in abroad ask your relatives to check the site for you and if the developer gets behind the construction schedule it should be able to explain what’s causing the delay.

Top sources to finance your dream home, you can avail either a loan from banks, lending and other mortgage companies that can process your loan through their branches or affiliate banks in the country you’re working in. Your dream home will soon be a reality with these options available for you.
