Gone are the days when it was safe to drink water straight from the tap. With all the pollutants in our environment, one risks acquiring amoebiasis, diarrhea, typhoid fever, hepatitis A and other water-borne diseases by drinking tap water.It has thus become common practice to have purified water delivered to our homes to ensure that we are safe from these diseases. Some even refuse to drink water other than the bottled distilled ones available in stores.

A more practical and eco-friendly alternative to this is to install water purifiers in the kitchen tap.Th ese purify water through reverse osmosis making water virtually contaminant free and safe for drinking. More importantly, you don’t contribute to plastic consumption of bottled water.

Ever since I got pregnant, I have been very cautious with my environment. I was down with fever couple of days ago, and it made me a bit worry. As much as possible, I try to refrain from going out of the house. You would never know if you will get the chance to be with a smoker who does not care about the people around him.

I just don’t why people continue with this disgusting habit. As for me, even if you offered me free cigars with a pretty cigar humidor; I would definitely not risk my health just to have this pretty thing.

I want to be a healthy as I can to make sure that my baby Sean will be healthy once the D-day comes.

As I watch the laborers working so hard to finish our home, I cannot help but worry because accidents my happen while the construction is ongoing. Although I learned that it is mandatory to have health insurance for each worker, I know that the benefits are not the same as the one offered by NC health insurance.

I believe our house contractor has insured all the workers for our home construction. I pray that there would not be any accidents while these people are working for me. That is why I make it appoint to check them from time to time.

I have been living in the city for as long as I can remember; now my hubby and I  decided to settle in our farmland in the beautiful province of Palawan. At least I am secured that my baby would breathe nothing but fresh air; I don’t need to worry about filing Mesothelioma lawsuits like what most people who were exposed to asbestos did.

The vast area of land would be the best playing ground for my future children.  I want to believe that my hubby and I made the right decision of moving here in Palawan. I am definitely glad to be where I am right now.

I loved eating fat when I was growing up but when my father died of heart disease when he was just forty years old, it opened my eyes. I decided I should be more careful with what I ate. I try not to eat pork or fat as much as I can.

I have a caretaker that has a high cholesterol and yet still eats chunks of fat from the lechon whenever we have a feast in our farm. He’s sixty seven years old and I am amazed that he doesn’t even have treatment for high cholesterol. I don’t know what he’s secret is.

I wish I could do a lasik surgery now but I am not qualified yet so I still need to continue using eyeglasses. Good thing that eyeglasses are not as dull and expensive as it used to. Just look at The #1 online Rx glasses store, they have the most extensive designs plus they also have Lowest Price Progressive Glasses I have seen.

You don’t believe it? Well do read Eric’s Review of Zenni Optical and you will see it for yourself.

I try to live as healthy as I can. I eat 5 different fruits and vegetables a day. I wish though that I could lose some weight. I find it really hard to lose weight. You know the saying:” A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”. I didn’t believe that when I was younger and had a better metabolism but now I must admit that it is true.Now I am trying all kinds of thing to get rid of this excess baggage I have…

One of my schoolmate mentioned to me once that she is doing a colon cleanse and that triggered my curiosity so now I am reading about the benefits of colon cleansing and trying to decide if it’s something for me. Have any of you done it? Did it brought you good results?

The holiday season has come and gone and now we are left with the extra weight. Many of us are now signing up for gym membership and  trying real hard to lose these extra kilos.

But my problem is I don’t like the gym because I get bored after awhile. I just wish I resisted the temptation in indulging on the sumptuous meals we had during the holidays. Do you have any fat burner advice you can share?

The last couple of weeks I have been obsessing in finding ways to lose belly fat that has been a permanent resident on my body for awhile now.

I must admit though that I am finding it really difficult to lose weight in the Land of the Foodies. I have gained 3 kilos when I got pregnant ( unfortunately I am not anymore ) and  now I am trying to lose those kilos because I don’t want to be too heavy when we try to conceive again.

What I have done so far:

I try to get out more often now and walk at least an hour or two in a week with hubby.

I started using the ab roller again and hopefully I can see the result in a few months.

I try to eat less Pringles.

I eat a variety of fruit everyday.

I now eat breakfast.

I weigh 59 kilos at the moment, if I could just lose 3 -4 kilos I would be very happy.

When I was younger, I didn’t really care about physical fitness is. I just ate whatever I want, I slouch at the slightest chance I get. I am not aware of how unhealthy I was before. During those times, no matter what I ate, for some reason kept a slim figure.

But now that I getting am older (and matured) my body is telling me that it is now the time to get my act together and start being healthy. Although I started some programs years ago, I can say I a more serious now when it comes to my health. Now I exercise regular, eat a lot of healthy food and stay away from not so good ones like Pringles and Doritos. I am now proud of my body (although it is slimmer back then) because I know I am healthier.

People often think that to be physically fit, you need to spend a lot of money. I don’t agree as the best fitness tips I got are all free. For example there’s a site called Always Chick, Always Fit – it’s so full of great tips about healthy lifestyle. All you need is some discipline and perseverance actually!

The one that made a great impact on me and one of my healthy living principle is drink lots of water. Our body is composed of 70% water and we need it to replenish our system. A friend told me that you can actually live for days without food but not water. We need water for refreshments. We need water to keep us going and we need it too to was away dirt inside our body. The recommended amount of water intake is 8 to 10 glasses a day. I drink more than that. As a result I hardly got sick and my skin are clearer too!
