Improving Your Diet

Here are 10 minute tweaks you can make to your breakfast, lunch and dinner that will help improve your diet.

1. Breakfast- If you’re not eating it, you need to start because numerous studies have found that skipping breakfast is linked to obesity. So take 10 minutes in the morning to eat breakfast. If you already eat breakfast, how can you can make it better? Spend 10 minutes in the store picking out steel cut oatmeal, or a whole grain cereal – look for one that delivers about 5 grams of fiber per serving – skim milk, and fruit. Now you have a meal that delivers protein, complex carbohydrates, and a hearty dose of fiber, calcium, and antioxidants.

2. Lunch- Try making a sandwich with sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard on whole-wheat bread. Not only will you get a dose of lean protein and fiber, but the tomatoes contain lycopene - which protects against cancer and heart disease – and the stuff in mustard that makes it yellow is a major cancer fighter. This sandwich comes in at around 240 calories – which is about 300 calories LESS than a Big Mac. Plus, brown bagging your lunch can save you over $2,000 a year.

3. Dinner- putting together a home-cooked dinner, on average, takes only about 10 minutes more of hands-on time that using mainly pre-packaged dishes. Plus, processed food, fast food, and takeout typically have too much sodium – and are the equivalent of two portions or more. In fact, a dinner of grilled fish with a light citrus marinade, steamed green beans, whole grain bread with olive oil for dipping, a salad, and a square of dark chocolate for dessert would actually take less time to prepare than a frozen pizza.

I was startled just watching this show!

Last Saturday, after I arrived from worked that day I decided to get cozy at our living room. I decided to scan and see if what kind of shows they have. I've been watching a couple of episode from this show titled Paranormal State before. For some reason the episode that they have last Saturday gives me chills and it freaks me out.


It's about a young lady about 26 years old who had scratches on her back where it says 6. The title of that said episode was "I Am Six". At first the parents of the said lady called the Paranormal State team to investigate if their house is haunted or not. Laura which is the name of the young woman had been drown, beaten by an unseen forces also she have words written on her stomach and at the back of her body as well, she had a pentagram marks on her legs.

So while the team look for an answer on what's really going on inside the house of Laura, they were checking everything and find that it was not the house that is haunted but it was Laura who had been posses by a Demonic entity. They were searching for more answer and the team called a priest.

Finally, they told Laura's parents that they need to do exorcism to their daughter. While they are doing the exorcism to Laura, the priest said show your true presents and the part that gives me chills was that after the priest said that there was a heavy wind coming outside the window, the chimes were all moving and their daughter started to say " I am Six" and I am many and she was using her finger to draw a pentagram. She even try to take the priest's hand out of her forehead and I was so scared on what will happened next, she looks totally different an just wild and scary, there was a part when she looks like she is not breathing at all.

And then it was gone, but then they said that they are not really sure if it will be gone for good. After two weeks that the Paranormal State Team left, Laura suffered a violent reaction of holy water and was later admitted to a hospital and her battle continues.

I pray for her safe recovery and may the Lord guide and protect this lady. We need to be constantly closer to God and keep our faith strong. We do not really know what experiences we will have in the future. We have to keep believing in God, go to church and read the holy scriptures.

Tricks That Can Help You Relieve Certain Health Problem

* The first health problem: Restless legs. More than 12 million Americans are kept awake by the creepy, crawly feeling in their legs known as “Restless Leg Syndrome” – or RLS. So what’s the fix on this? Try drinking TONIC WATER. Researchers found that quinine - the compound that gives tonic water its bitter taste – cuts the number of muscle cramps in HALF for 80 percent of RLS sufferers. So if RLS is keeping you awake at night, try drinking a 6-ounce glass nightly. Know this: Quinine can interact with some medications, so talk to your doctor before drinking tonic water regularly.

* The next health problem: Smoking. I don’t have to tell you about how bad smoking is for your health. If you’re ready to quit, grab your cell phone and start TEXT MESSAGING. A study found that sending daily text messages more than doubled the chances that wanna-be quitters would succeed at tossing their cigarettes. Why would text messaging help you quit smoking? it’s a great distraction that lets you do something else with your fingers. If your cell phone isn’t nearby when you get a cigarette craving, find other ways to occupy your hands – like knitting. Just like with a food craving, if you can distract yourself and keep your hands busy for 10 to 15 minutes, it’ll pass.

* The final do-it-yourself health cure is for nighttime heartburn. Try sleeping on your LEFT SIDE. How can this stop the pain? Lying on the left side relaxes a muscle in the lower esophagus, allowing less acid to come in contact with delicate tissues and cause burning. Plus, it creates more room in the stomach for acids to pool, making it less likely they’ll come back up and bother you.

My Life Is Full Of Sunshine!

Anyways, I just woke up right now and I feel very exhausted not because of Halloween Party or anything but because I work on a night shift yesterday. We're pretty busy at the store and I finished my job around 12:05 midnight.

I will have to work again a little bit later and oh well life is still beautiful, although we may find ourselves busy for what we need to do or we may feel that we don't have so much time to do everything at once.

I feel very blessed to have a wonderful family which I left in the Philippines and a very supportive husband who is always there to encourage me and lift me up when I feel sad and lonely. I am thankful for everything that I have, indeed my life is full of sunshine and blessings. We may face different problems in our life but remember this is already part of our life. As long as we are alive we will experienced different emotions like sadness, happiness and much more. It will be our choice on how to react or respond on a different situation everyday. Let us not forget to pray and seek guidance from the Lord.

Indeed,"Life is beautiful".

Fast Forward and December is almost Here!
