Some tips for those who have Bell's Palsy

About 3-4 weeks ago I had Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy have unknown specific cause yet. My doctor said that mine was because of stress during the time when my immune system was low. I'm currently under treatment but I had big improvements since last week, when I went to my doctor.

Here are some tips for those who have bell's palsy:( Ask your doctor first if this should apply to your case)

1. You really need to take Vitamins B1, B6 and B12. That's what my doctor gave me, but of course ask your doctor first. My doctor told me that Bell's Palsy happens because of constriction of the facial nerves, which makes your face lopsided or sometimes numb.

2. Warm compress. It is needed to make the nerves return to its normal width.

3.Prednisone. This is a corticosteroid so it needs moderation. You should be careful in taking this
medicine to avoid overdosage, that's why you should always ask your doctor first.

4. Avoid meat, chocolates, junk food, beverages with ice, and direct heat of the sun. These things make your nerves constrict, and you should avoid further constriction of your nerves, right??

5. Exercise. You really need this, especially facial exercise to make your face return to normal, and so that your face would not get used to its current position.

So I think that's all that my doctor made me take and do...Good luck and get well soon to those who have it. Stay happy and healthy. XD

Danger of High Triglycerides

Triglycerides(TGs)are a group of fatty compounds that circulate in the bloodstream and are stored in the fat tissue. Individuals who have elevated blood levels of TGs(known as hypertriglyceridemia) appear to be at increased risk of developing heart disease.

People with diabetes often have elevated TG levels. Succesfully controlling diabetes will, in some cases, lead to normalization of TG levels.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

Excessive TG may cause pancreatitis, enlarged liver and spleen, and xanthomas. Xanthomas are fatty deposits in the skin. Otherwise, high tryglycerides may not cause any symptoms until and unless heart disease or other diseases of the blood vessels develop.

DIETARY CHANGES THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Heavy drinking is believed to be an important cause of hypertriglyceridemia. Alcoholics with hi level of TG should deal with alcoholism first.

People with high sugar levels should also reduce their sugar intake because ingesting refined sugar inreases TG levels.

There is also evidence that ingesting fructose in amounts that are found in a typical western diet can raise TG levels, although not all studies agree on that point. It should benoted that most studies of fructose investigated the refined form, not the fructose that occurs naturally in some fruits.

A change from drinking caffeinated coffee to decaffeinated coffee shows a significant reduction in the levels of TG. But be sure to eliminate intakes of caffeinated products for two weeks or more to lower your TG levels.

Water- soluble fibers such as pectin found in fruit, guar gum and other gums found in beans, and beta-glucan found in oats, may be particularly helpful in lowering triglycerides.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT MAY BE HELPFUL

Exercise lowers TG levels. People with diabetes, heart disease, or aged more than 40, should consult a doctor first before beginning an exercise program.

Smokers should start to quit smoking.

Lose extra weight. Maintaining ideal body weight helps protect against elevated TG levels.

THE FOLLOWING SELF-CARE STEPS MAY BE HELPFUL

Eat Fish: eat more fatty fish

Get the niacin you need: take niacin (vitamin B3) in amounts large enough to lower your triglyceride levels, but consult your doctor first.

Slim down: try having an exercise program and healthy diet to avoid gaining extra weight.

Diet Right: Limit sugar, and other refined carbohydrates intake. Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine.

Focus on Fitness: Begin an exercise program.

Samson Music Sheet

this is the link for the samson music sheet.....

and here is the lyrics...

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Cover of Noli Me Tangere

Noli Me Tangere, it originally means social cancer, but its direct translation is "Touch Me Not". Touch Me Not has a biblical basis: when Jesus resurrected and Mary Magdalene was about to touch him, Jesus said "touch me not". But Jose Rizal, author of Noli Me Tangere, entitled his novel as such because the novel talks about things that people during his time would not dare to talk about.
is
In the cover of the novel the most dominating thing is the title Noli me Tangere because as I've said before it talks about something that no one would dare talk about during his time. He exposed the "social cancer" of his time.

The cover of Noli is divided into two parts: the upper part is the good side while the lower part is the bad side.

The silhoutte of the girl represents the women during Rizal's time.

The writings which is partly covered by the title is a letter of Rizal dedicated to his parents.

The sunflower in the upper part of the title, near "me", represents the youth whom Rizal refers to as the hope of the country.

On the lower part of the title you'll see (in a better copy of the Noli Me Tangere cover) is a hairy calf. This represents the typical friar during Rizal's time.

You'll notice that Jose Rizal's name is in the bad side of the cover, well honestly I forgot the reason behind it, all I could remember is that the letter "L" of Rizal is attached to a bamboo and the reason behind this. If I remember it right, bamboo represents change, so that means that Rizal will change. (something like that)
