New York to ban sale of large sized sugary drinks →
YEAH! Go Bloomberg! I totally support this. You may not think it makes much of a difference, but you’d be surprised at how much people started consuming (and how obesity and other chronic illnesses started spreading) when the concept of “supersize” portions was introduced a few decades back. The psychology behind it is, people don’t want to feel like gluttons. So...

Reduce Indoor Air Pollution
EarthEasy.com presents some practical suggestions:
• Only use natural cleaning products in your home. Most health food stores will have these available or you can make your own cleaning products using safe ingredients.
• Establish a ‘no shoe’ policy in your home. To drastically reduce the amount of pesticides and other chemicals that you may pick up outside, have visitors and family members...

The Case For Sustainable Meat
‘I believe that all beings, whether human or other-than-human, have an inherent right to a natural existence in the world, and each has a way to contribute to the welfare of the greater whole. Inevitably, a time will come when every life must give way to sustain balance on the Earth. On the farm, there is an understanding that nothing we eat to sustain ourselves comes without sacrifice from...

Proper Way To Soak Brown Rice
Stephan Guyenet wrote—-
“I’ve been looking for a way to prepare whole brown rice that increases its mineral availability without changing its texture. I’ve been re-reading some of the papers I’ve accumulated on grain processing and mineral availability, and I’ve found a simple way to do it.
In the 2008 paper “Effects of soaking, germination and...

Grain: not evil, just misunderstood!
Grains (like legumes) naturally contain anti-nutrients which cause bloating, allergies, digestive problems, high blood sugar, etc., when they are eaten without proper cultivation and preparation. That’s why cultures all over the world traditionally employed long, slow, processes such as soaking and fermenting to prepare grain-based dishes. The traditional processes removed the dangers of...

How to feed a dozen hungry people for less than...
Last weekend, our genius super “yaya” Ate Shirley singlehandedly planned, budgeted, and prepared a family lunch at our house for twelve people (seven adults and five kids). She only had some help from her assistant, Ate Elsa, during the actual cooking and serving.
We feasted on:
- Native Chicken BBQ *
- Native Chicken Tinola *
- Ginataang Manok (native chicken in coconut milk and...

When change depends on overcoming the influence of an entrenched power, it helps to have another powerful interest in your corner—an interest that stands to gain from reform. In the case of the tobacco industry, that turned out to be the states, which found themselves on the hook (largely because of Medicaid) for the soaring costs of smoking-related illnesses. So, under economic duress, states and...

Promising not to shop 'til my birthday in June
I’m under a self-imposed shopping moratorium as part of my “artist hermit mode” and as a way to manage my personal finance AND in support of the “minsumer revolution”:

We’re tired of working long hours at jobs we don’t like, to pay for things we don’t need. We’re unhappy with the clutter in our homes, and the commercialization of our holidays. We’re angry that...

Dr. Mercola on “The Everyday Drink that May Contain Blood, Pus and Drugs”:

How to control the future of your money
Many common diseases (weight problems, heart problems, liver problems, lung problems) arise from bad spending habits. Impulse buys: another drink, another snack, another cigarette. Not enough budget allocated for rest and time outdoors in the fresh air and seawater.
Thomas Thwaites imagines a “National Fiscal Health Service” to help manage harmful spending habits.

Hello, I'm alive! :)
How are you all doing?
I’m still struggling with the whole living healthfully thing. It’s difficult to maintain a regular exercise routing and stay away from junk food (I’m still keeping my “cheat weekends”), but I think at least my skin’s gotten better. Pimples cleared up when I started using pure VCO + oatmeal soap for my face. :)
Also trying to sleep...

Just finished Peak 8 exercise (jump rope)!
It’s really difficult to eat healthy in this house! I try to compromise by cheating on weekends, and trying my best to stick to seafood-malunggay soup on weekdays.
