Fish oil supplement

I just recently taking fish oil supplement for over all healthy body.

The one above is the Cenovis fish oil-1000mg and it is odourless and it cost around Php 9.50 and the one in the lower is the generic brand of fish oil-995 mg which cost around Php 5.50 and it is more cheaper but it smells like a fish specially when I burp I can really smell the odor of the fish. I just only bought 3 capsule each just to try and I just consume one capsule of each brand for the last 2 days, I'm drinking this once a day at night. I bought this at Mercury drugstore and they don't have fish oil that are in the bottle.

This morning I went to a health store and asked if they have fish oil and luckily they have. Supposedly I just went there to ask how much is there fish oil capsule individually and if they have the one that are in bottle and it cost Php 4.00 each capsule and Php 1400.00 for the bottle  which contains 400 capsules. This brand is kirkland omega-3 fish oil concentrate 1000mg.

I just only bought 10 capsules because I can't afford the bottle, and I can say it's not odorless because I can smell its fishy odor.

I'm planning to buy one bottle to give it to my mom and dad but I think I need to wait for 2 weeks and cut Php 700/week of my allowance so that I can buy them.

What are the benefits of fish oil?

1. Decrease the incidence of depression and anxiety
2. Decrease Blood Pressure
3. Reduce the Stress response
4. Assist in the treatment of psoriasis and dry skin
5. Assist in decreasing your body’s insulin response to food
6. Decrease whole body inflammation as marked by C-Reactive Protein
7. Decrease Triglyceride levels
8. Help with treating ADHD
9. Assist in activating fat burning genes
10. Assist in Muscle Protein Synthesis

Besides the overall health benefits, fish oil may also help improve lean body composition in a number of different ways.  What this means is that if you’re a guy with more than 15% body fat or a woman with more than 25% body fat, fish oil may help you lose fat faster while also helping to stabilize any blood sugar issues you may have.  In addition to helping you lose fat, fish oil may also help you put on muscle at a quicker rate.  While in its infancy, recent research has shown that supplementing with 3 grams of EPA and DHA per day helped increase muscle protein synthesis within the muscle cells, which may help you add more muscle.

Green tea

Honestly I don't like the taste of a green tea but since it has lot of good benefits I decided to drink at least once a day.
 There are actually a lot of articles available online about green tea and I'm sure after reading it you might also want to try it.

My first time drinking green tea I promise to myself not to drink anymore because it taste bitter and I really can't bear it, but last week while I was searching for a green tea to try I saw the lipton green tea and bought one tea bag and it cost Php 6.50. This one taste much better than the one I've tried before, it's not that bitter and it is also tolerable.

then yesterday I decided to buy one box of lipton green tea. It cost Php 66.00 and it consist of 10 tea bag sachet.

 I drink this during breakfast because it is the best time to drink a tea, because it also helps  metabolism.

Here are some benefits of green tea:

1.      Weight Loss. Green tea increases the metabolism. The polyphenol found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories.

2.      Diabetes. Green tea apparently helps regulate glucose levels slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating. This can prevent high insulin spikes and resulting fat storage.

3.      Heart Disease. Scientists think, green tea works on the lining of blood vessels, helping keep them stay relaxed and better able to withstand changes in blood pressure. It may also protect against the formation of clots, which are the primary cause of heart attacks.

4.      Esophageal Cancer. It can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, but it is also widely thought to kill cancer cells in general without damaging the healthy tissue around them.

5.      Cholesterol. Green tea reduces bad cholesterol in the blood and improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol.

6.      Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It is said to delay the deterioration caused by Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Studies carried out on mice showed that green tea protected brain cells from dying and restored damaged brain cells.

7.      Tooth Decay. Studies suggests that the chemical antioxidant “catechin” in tea can destroy bacteria and viruses that cause throat infections, dental caries and other dental conditions

8.      Blood Pressure. Regular consumption of green tea is thought to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.

9.      Depression. Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves. It is this substance that is thought to provide a relaxing and tranquilizing effect and be a great benefit to tea drinkers.

10.  Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial. Tea catechins are strong antibacterial and antiviral agents which make them effective for treating everything from influenza to cancer. In some studies green tea has been shown to inhibit the spread of many diseases.

11.  Skincare. Green tea can apparently also help with wrinkles and the signs of aging, This is because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Both animal and human studies have demonstrated that green tea applied topically can reduce sun damage.

Avocado shake

Avocado is one of the most recommended fruits as well as a food for bodybuilding and medicine for cholesterol-related heart diseases.

Also, did you know that avocado or an avocado extract is good for prevention or treatment of “breast cancer” as well as “prostate cancer”?

Some information states that a toxin found in avocado can kill cancer cell. However, the toxin mentioned here is not identified completely.    Scientists believe that the toxin has a great effect on the myocardium (heart muscle tissue) as well as on tissues of the lactating mammary gland.

Although many farmers believe that fresh and dried leaves, bark, skin, and seeds are toxic to cattle, goats, horses, rabbits, and birds, there is no definite scientific explanation for that.

Do not worry about the fruit meat of avocado. There are no dangerous toxic elements for human consumption as well as for animals.

Creamy rich avocado is considered the world's healthiest fruit, because of its nutrient contents such as vitamin K, dietary fiber, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, copper, and reasonable calories in it.

    Avocados contain “oleic acid”, a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol.

In our studies, patients with high cholesterol levels who ate avocados showed clear health improvements. After a week of avocado diet, patients had significant decrease in cholesterol contents.

    Avocado is a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure.

Adequate intake of potassium can help guard against circulatory diseases, like high blood pressure, heart disease, or stroke.

Diets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. One cup of avocado has about 23% of the Daily Value for folate, a nutrient important for heart health.

Another study showed that individuals who consume folate-rich diets have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke than those who do not consume much of this vital nutrient.

Not only avocado has a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid, which has recently been shown to offer significant protection against breast cancer, but it is also a very concentrated dietary source of the "carotenoid lutein". It also contains measurable amounts of related carotenoids plus significant quantities of vitamin E.
