Health Is WEALTH

Too bad, there are people and children who are allergic to peanut, fortunately, none of us in our household has a peanut allergy, so when you get a chance to open my pantry, you will see jars and jars of peanut butter. My kids can eat a jar of peanut butter in 2 days. My 9 year old would spoon some out of the jar and just eat it while watching TV. I love peanut butter, but… it needs to be in between breads. My 6 year old love PB and J sandwich, without crust. My 4 year old likes peanut butter sandwich, no jelly please.

Schools used to serve PB and J sandwiches at school, to those who owe lunch money, but since peanut allergy is now all over the place, they prohibit serving it, and they are telling parents to be careful of sending their kids to school with lunch and snacks. Make sure that it doesn’t contain any type of nuts. I sent my kid to school with a nutter butter for her snack and she came home with it saying that her teacher said “no peanut” oh well.. I forgot. My thing was, it’s for my kid and my kid is not allergic to peanut. I guess, children trade in lunches and snacks, and so to avoid any accident of allergic reaction, no nuts are allowed at all..

“Peanut butter has a high level of monounsaturated fats and resveratrol.[5] Peanut butter (and peanuts) provide protein, vitamins B3 and E, magnesium, folate, dietary fiber, arginine,[6] and high levels of the antioxidant p-coumaric acid“.

“For people with a peanut allergy, peanut butter can cause reactions, including anaphylactic shock, which has led to its being banned in some schools.”

Yup, this is the case now. But, for those who are not allergic, yum!

Although, peanut butter is yummy, please be aware that you might enjoy it, but others can can sick and die from it. We need to be considerate of others. Don’t send your kids to school with peanut butter sandwich as lunch or snack. You don’t know who she’s trading with at school. Remember that if it’s your child who has allergic reaction to other food, you won’t wish them harm.

My son who is graduating from high school this year asked me to search for cd replication that he needs for school. And because I am an old school mom, I don’t know what he meant at first. I never had all this modern technology when I was a student, well, that was almost thirty years ago, so what would I expect? Good thing about all this high technology, it’s very convenient for all. Everybody uses it for school, work and even personal. Thanks to all the smart people who are making our daily lives more comfortable.

Who doesn’t love eggs? I love hard boiled eggs the most. I remember when my father was still alive, he used to eat 2 eggs every day, I don’t know why. I then found out the eggs can give you some nutrients, protein. Eating eggs is good, but in moderation. When my blood pressure went up the other day, I searched for home remedies since I don’t take medicine yet, I have read that eggs can make your blood pressure high too.

Now, I am scared to eat pork and eggs. I guess, you can eat whatever you want, but it needs to be watched and in moderation. Sometimes, because we like the food too much, we don’t care what it does to our body, all we care about is to satisfy our cravings, without considering the fact that it will harm our health.

“Egg yolks and whole eggs store significant amounts of protein and choline,[1][2] and are widely used in cookery. Due to their protein content, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) categorizes eggs as Meats within the Food Guide Pyramid.[1] Despite the nutritional value of eggs, there are some potential health issues arising from egg quality, storage, and individual allergies.”

For those who love to eat eggs, however you want to cook it, always make sure that you only consume the recommended amount, otherwise, your health will be at risk. Sometimes, it’s hard to follow the rule, but if it means we live longer and healthier, it’s not going to be that hard.

Having your own business can be tough, but you need to be smart and wise to make sure that you will make profit in the end. When the investment on a small business is limited, there is always a way to start it without getting in too much debt. Just like printing equipment leasing that you can do instead of buying the equipment. Once money is available, then you can buy your own. Most of the businesses started small, but with the keen and meticulous operation of the management or the owner, it can grow like weeds in no time.

I cooked some roasted pork the other day and it was so delicious. The next day, the cooked the left over and after cooking, I ate right away. So basically, I ate pork for 2 consecutive meals and I felt the result half an hour later. My blood pressure went high, I felt my back neck thickened, and I was dizzy. I know how it feels when my blood pressure goes up. I have a BP machine but I didn’t use it, because I knew what’s going to happen. When I see that my BP is high, the more it gets higher, because I would get scared.

I sent my husband a text massage telling him about it. I wanted him to know that way, in case something happens to me, he knows it. He asked me if I wanted him home, and I said nah, he can work, it’s very rare that I message him about me not feeling good. Only when I am scared that something might happen to me, while I have a toddler at home. This scared me, and I promised myself not to eat pork anymore.

While feeling bad, I searched online for a “home remedy for high blood pressure” unfortunately I didn’t find any. I have read that self medication can be dangerous. But on the other hand, I found something that can help avoiding having a high blood pressure. Aside from avoid eating fatty food, I also found a capsule that I can take to avoid having my blood pressure to go up. Garlic can help me with my blood pressure. No wonder my dad used to eat raw garlic when he was still alive.

Helps to avoid high blood pressure

Now, I don’t need to make an appointment with my doctor, I can buy this over the counter. As a matter of fact, I have this in my medicine cabinet. I will have to start taking this medicine, that way, I won’t have a stroke or heart attack.
