For Altenative and Conventional Healing: Holistic Integrative Care Center

For treatments and cures that work, the approach should encompass all factors that affect us, not just the body, but the mind and soul also. For example, if one has diabetes, the constant warning bell about taking in too much sugar might be always on the mind, and the burden becomes heavier, and instead of enjoying life, it is pinned down to focusing on the illness. Taking medication surely isn't enough for a diabetic as a treatment, as for optimal health and improved quality of life, there has to be the proper diet, lifestyle, and even alternative medicine, such as taking bitter melon supplements to lower blood sugar levels.

The Holistic Integrative Care Center is the place to go to for healing that cares as it offers a multi-dimensional approach. It treats the root cause of the health concern. From the time a person takes an assessment, which is recommended to be done with medical records, if there are any, to the healing process, of which the patient is presented the treatments, to include alternative medicine choices.

The head of the licensed physicians in this clinic is Dr. Imelda Edodollon, MT, MD, NMD. She graduated from International Medical School of Integrative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2013. Pi Villaraza who is in the Healer's Portal, conducts integrative healing practice in alignment with energy transformation, neurology, psychological breakthrough and sustainable vision-setting.

With the fusion of conventional medicine and alternative treatment, using a whole approach, wellness comes about, quality of life improves, and cures are possible, with a sync of natural and conventional medicine.
We have heard a lot of stories about people who have cancer and use alternative medicine, but usually, it is from what is recommended by others who have used it. What is there was the database of alternative treatments that work?

There is, and that is at the Holistic Integrative Care Center. The approach includes all-natural supplements, and you can be sure that you and your loved ones are being treated by a licensed physician.

Lifestyle Event: Chef Next Door with Jonas Ng Season 2 Launch

Lifestyle party, party! Awesomely fun event, with overflowing drinks and gourmet food! This event was held at Le Jardin, BGC, which is owned by the Chef Next Door, Jonas Ng.

Jonas Ng is a cheerful fellow, made more attractive because of his confident, bubbly personality. He had provided us with a good look of what we can expect from his cooking show.

Lifestyle does know how to throw a seamless party! With the smart, good-looking host, Migz Withaz Anzures, the event was so chill, relaxed, and it was indeed a successful launch.

The food that was served by Le Jardin was great and the Rillette de Porc, was fantastic, and I could hardly stop eating these.

There was a bevy of sponsors that added that special touch to the event, as these offered me great opportunity to try their new and exciting products.

Karen's Kitchen

As much as I wanted to indulge, as I am on a strict drink limit, but could not help but try the premium craft beer by Baguio Craft Brewery. Foam rich, with a depth of brewed goodness, a sip was fulfilling, and a better brew for those who want to have an exploration of flavors, that is unique and Filipino made. See the clarity of the brew, and it does taste good even when it is no longer cold, with that better bitter kick.

The event was had music, dancing, video presentations, and a raffle, and I won a knife from SaladMaster. That knife will surely last a lifetime!

Boy Kanin: More Rice for the Right Price

Image credits: Boy Kanin Facebook Page

Giving more value per peso, Boy Kanin meals offer the favorite Filipino dishes topped on a lot of rice - and the rice is totally a lot! This food stall has the traditional food, beverage, and a unique wrap, and is truly one food stall that caters to our needs.

Filipinos do love to eat rice and typically order extra rice when they eat out. When one buys from Boy Kanin, this need not be done, as their rice meals has nearly two cups of rice, which maybe plain rice or their yellow rice which is quite flavorful. The large serving of rice does make the difference, and the proportion to the viand is just right.

Meals that Satisfy at Budget Prices

Most food stall have servings that are enough to stop the hunger or have items that are considered as snacks. Boy Kanin has meals, and their Filipino style burrito, which can be considered as a heavy snack.

Pinoy Burrito 

Bread wraps are quite popular nowadays. The Boy Kanin burrito has a soft bread wrap that holds flavorful rice, cheese, and meat. The meat is cut into small pieces. Unlike the Mexican burrito, this contains no beans. It tastes different also from that Mexican dish as it does not contain those kinds of spices. It is a comfort food as the cheese makes the rice stick together and adds a creaminess to the dish. It is so big, that I shared it with my daughter, and it is very filling. Unique, good, it hits the spot.

Here is the Pinoy Burrito unwrapped:

The Boy Kanin beverage is Salabat, which is ginger tea. This is served cold. There is no strong taste of ginger and it is refreshingly good. It is a surprisingly unlike any other ginger tea, and one won't even notice that they are drinking that popular Filipino beverage, I know this for a fact because after I drank a cup, I didn't even know it was made from ginger. I love this Salabat, and how I wish I could drink this every day, and maybe soon, if Boy Kanin can bottle this healthy Filipino drink.

If you want to eat more and get the full value of your money, then look for a Boy Kanin food stall.

Franchise opportunity is available.

Food and Drink Daily Decisions

Absorbtion is worth considering when it comes to health. What we eat and drink does go out after the digestion process, so what is left behind?

First, think about digestion. If this process does not have high performance levels, we must aid it by consuming what can aid it. For example, if the health concern is constipation, then fiber rich food such as oatmeal and eating certain fruits such as papaya can surely help. 

Next, think about absorption. When eating, chewing well breaks down the food for it to be easier to digest. Whatever goes in, goes through the process, and the blood stream absorbs what is there. Sounds simple, right? Let us investigate...

Food and drink is always a blessing, especially when offered.

Our choices are limited when we are out of the house. Daily decision making can be broken down. What is for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? What do you snack on? What beverages are consumed? It is not always possible to have that balanced meal, and delicious temptations are everywhere. Start off by simplifying the choices, saying no and knowing the limits of the intake.

- Fat. Pork has fat in the meat part, so it is not enough to remove the fat. Marbled beef has fat that cannot be taken out, and ground beef has at least 20 percent fat. Steak has visible fat that can be removed. Chicken has fat, and the healthies choice is the breast part. Fish can have fatty parts but this is healthy.

- Sugar. We all need sweetness daily, even if diabetic as blood sugar levels cannot be too low. There are fruits that we can consume and the occasional dessert is a treat, as totally depriving oneself may cause cravings. Dark chocolate is healthier, and fresh fruit is best.

- Calcium. Upon reading the new FDA guidelines that eggs
can be consumed daily, this changes the allowable intake. Drinking enough milk is good, though too much of butter is bad. Cheese overload? Healthy but anything is excess is not good.

With so many food and beverages to choose from, decisions can be done with each meal and snack, and what we drink such as the water intake, caffeine based drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Our bodies vary and for some, a little may be too much.

To focus on absorbption, what we ordinarily eat and drink might not be enough to bring the nutrients our body needs. Supplements are good, yet there are natural choices that are better. Our bodies liquid absorption rate is fast, bringing in refreshment, a full feeling, and the simplification of the digestive process. Shakes are great, for weight loss and weight gain, like those which are complete meal replacements such as Herbalife, which does contain a bevy of wonderful ingredients. Fresh fruit shakes may be made with a reduction or even omission of the sugar syrup. Vegetables can be made into a beverage. There are a lot of healthy beverages for sale, like pineapple juice, grape juice, and tomato juice. Just read the label.

When we were babies, we had a liquid diet. When we are old, it is a good idea to up our liquid intake, so the body can become healthier, and the absorption rate is fast, making us gain energy and making it easy for the digestive system.
