I as a 30 year old lad, is already on the stage of my life wherein I need to know more on how to take care of my body and my health in totality. I am not getting any younger and since my mom and eldest brother both do have hypertension… I guess I’m more prone in having such condition so I really do try to research about it by checking on some magazines and books that educates people on how to lower the risk of hypertension and I stumble upon an article from Men’s Health Magazine that provides tips on how to reduce the risk of hypertension. Though hypertension in the Philippines affects almost one every six Filipinos, there is still a way on how to reduce the risk of having one. It can be summarized in three things: consult a doctor, choose a healthy lifestyle and eat whole wheat breads as part of our balance diet. I’ll tell you more about the advantages of eating wheat bread on my next article. Stay Healthy!
Q&A: ABOUT YOGURT
"Can a yogurt down south ease a yeast infection?"
Yes, yogurt can cure this condition and also help prevent future infections. Some brands of yogurt contain live cultures of certain bacteria also present in the vagina, and these bacteria fight the overgrowth of yeast that causes infection.

SUPERSTRESSED ME
I've never been so stressed in my life like this! I'm feeling so low right now. I feel that I cannot effectively function as a tech support anymore as there are so many new rules and implementations in the office you will have a hard time deciding on what to prioritize. This is just the third day of my entire week but I just feel so damn tired. I want to give up, I want to shift into a different direction but I know I can't manage without a job and I can't afford to start again. I promised myself that this would be the last job I'll gonna take and the last company I'll gonna serve. I guess I need to endure all of these for my future - I need to stay for 2 more years so I can get my retirement pay. I was kind'a disappointed with my TL as he seem so strict nowadays. He's not the same TL we used to love before... a TL who is pro-employee and not 100% pro-management. Everything seems to go from bad to worse. I received an NTE (Notice to Explain) for being late for 3 consecutive days - which I never received at those times when I always come to the office late for almost 30 to 45 minutes everyday. Haaay. I don't know how long I can bear this things but I am starting to feel depress. In fact, my left eye is twitching and blinking involuntarily once in a while. The company nurse said it is a common sign of stress and fatigue. I really hope and pray that everything will fall into its place in the next couple of days.
Amen.
