Just few days after taking Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C), I was amazed that I didn’t feel any pain when one of my fingers got a small cut with the knife I was using while preparing food. A week before I started taking two capsules daily, even just a tiny prick would cause pain, so what happened was really a surprise for me. Thus, Vitamin C truly speeds up the healing process of wounds. Even my friend happily told me that her hands used to be easily bruised when hand-washing her clothes but now as a regular Sodium Ascorbate user, her hands are tougher and they don’t easily get wounded when she does her laundry.
Aside from a speedy healing process, Sodium Ascorbate is also good for cancer prevention. Note that I am talking about Vitamin C in Sodium Ascorbate alkaline form and not Ascorbic Acid which is acidic. With Sodium Ascorbate, you can take larger doses without any harmful side effects especially stomach pains unlike the regular acidic Ascorbic Acid. Our body needs more than 500g of Vitamin C, thus with Sodium Ascorbate, one can take even up to 2000g or more. Higher dosage is needed for those who are sick or tired, especially cancer patients. Vitamin C is essential for cancer treatment & prescriptions not just as a supplement but as medication. With the H1N1 virus and other infectious diseases spreading around, one needs to be protected with high dosage of Vitamin C in Sodium Ascorbate form.
I may not have such a high profile life but just reading about President Obama’s vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard makes me want to go on a long nice break as well. A weekend in Tagaytay or few days stay at a Myrtle beach golf resort would be great. Sigh. Mom just left me to take care of stuff here. So it’s just me, myself and I to talk with the contractor and the designer tomorrow. And so many piled up tasks waiting for me on my laptop while the room is just a mess! Help!
Pinay executive chef in the White House, Cristeta Comerford, is one of the honorees this year by the Bank of the Philippines as an outstanding Filipino overseas, for her outstanding achievement in culinary arts. She was first appointed as executive chef by First Lady Laura Bush in 2005 and retained her position with the new presidency under Barack Obama this year.
Having worked for both families, Comerford noted that both have preference for healthy food. For instance, the Obamas chose to have organic produce from the White House garden. With such healthy eating habits, searching for the best weight loss product or stacking up on junk foods would not be appropriate, yeah? For me, the preference for organic produce is a good example set by the First Family to those concerned with living a healthy lifestyle.
Anyway, Comerford is proud of her Filipino roots and considers her family, her husband and daughter, as important to her. As a wife and mother, she still maintains balance between her busy career and her family life. According to the First Lady Michelle Obama, “Cristeta Comerford brings such an incredible talent to the White House operation and came very highly regarded from the Bush family.” She further added, “Also the mom of a young daughter, I appreciate our shared perspective on the importance of healthy eating and healthy families.”
According to a research from Mintel, one in three teens are using deodorant instead of showering everyday. This reminds me of somebody who just damps his hair a bit to achieve that “just showered” look and then sprays himself all over with cologne. IMO, washing with soap and water is still the best hygiene practice. Nothing beats washing the dirt and dust from the body and hair. Of course, one needs to put on deodorant afterwards. With so many beauty and cleansing products available in the market nowadays, from acne products to facial wash and whitening lotion, for me, showering daily is still the best way to keep oneself clean.
Whew! Finally we’re here in Manila and ready to set up not just one but two condo units. Does that make me an over-stressed person? You bet. That’s why I’m thinking of including Magnesium in my daily supplement needs aside from Calcium and Vitamin C. Why so? Magnesium is an essential nutrient in managing stress. And although it is not a weight loss supplement it also helps fight obesity. I’ve also read from a medical article that it could lessen menstrual cramps. Magnesium can be derived from foods like nuts, but it is best to get more Magnesium from supplements such as Magnesium Citrate. A daily dosage of 300-900 mg can be taken depending on one’s lifestyle and physical needs.
