Body Mass Index is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as BODY MASS divided by THE SQUARE OF THE BODY HEIGHT and it is expressed in units Kg m²

The BMI is a convenient RULE OF THUMB use to broadly categorize a person as UNDERWEIGHT (less than 18.5 kg m²) NORMAL WEIGHT ( 18.5 - 24.9 kg m²), OVERWEIGHT (25 - 29.9 kg m²) and OBESE.(more than 30).

BMI should not be use to person who are abdominal obesity, short stature and unusual high muscle mass.

Overweight and Obese are traditionally prone to hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease also with some cancers.

Do you know your BMI? If you are underweight start to increase your caloric intake and multivitamins and minerals supplement can help your weight gain journey while if you are overweight and obese try to loose 1-2 pounds a week or 8 pounds a month by Diet (limiting caloric intake) and exercise (30minutes - 1hr light to moderate exercises 5x a week). If you have a normal weight try to maintain it through active lifestyle.

Important Milestone!

Test. Treat. Isolate and Vaccinate

We can speed up the diagnosis of Covid 19 because Watson Pharmacy sells a Rapid Antigen Test for only 300-500 Pesos while Indonesia FDA approve Sinovac for Kids.

Slowly but surely we are winning! Maintain your protection by using mask, shield, distance.

Kudos Pharmacy

Vaccine against SARS CoV 2 or COVID 19 passed Clinical Trials and Testing. Studies revealed that Vaccine against COVID 19 are more than 50% protection against COVID 19 (Disease) but transmission of the virus remains the problem, in order to be fully protected against this virus transmission, I encourage my patient to wear mask, face shields, wash hands and have a 6ft distance whenever we are engaging to our fellow human being. For now, studies remain that Animal to Human or Human to Animal Transmission remains low to zero. Chemicals such as Clorox, Lysol, alcohol and UV lights remain the primary disinfectant to all surfaces, the rationale is that Virus are proteins in order to nature protein you must have some substance that can denature or inactivate them.

Here are the list vaccines and their studies that could help you to acquire understanding. Included in the list are they passed thorough studies debunking all misinformations regarding their effectiveness and conspiracies.

Let us all remember, In order for us to be successful in battling this Virus, We need the necessary equipment and knowledge in order to survive.

Hello everyone.
I guess we are all worried about the Alpha, Delta Variant.
We are experiencing surges, outbreaks etc.

Please be reminded that whatever variants we have, either Delta is 60% transmissibility or Delta is mutated variant that can cause severe diseases. Delta variant can infect children and cause them to have severe disease. Please remember, we have a preventive measure. Wear your mask, Wear your face shield, Protective eyewear, wash hands, Physical Distance and lastly get VACCINATED.

Remember, Delta Variant is still Coronavirus and its Disease name is Covid 19. This is a preventable disease even it is pandemic.

Topic:
How do Doctors diagnose Diabetes Mellitus?
Looking on Picture, We have 4 ways to determine if you have DM. 1st we use Fasting Blood Sugar 2nd we use Random Blood Sugar 3rd we use Oral Glucose Challenge Test 4th we use Hemoglobin A1C.

If you experience symptoms like polyuria (madalas na pagihi at kadalasan ay nagigising tayo sa gabi upang umihi), polydipsia (uhawin kahit tayo ay hindi nag eehersisyo) at polyphagia (di mapigilan ang pagkain ng madalas) at mga sugat na matagal gumaling. Tayo ay magpatingin sa Doctor.

Like any other disease, Diabetes Mellitus can be treated and if we have a good blood sugar control, its complication like Renal Failure, Heart Attack etc can be delayed or some can be prevented.

May kasabihan po tayo na ang gamot sa nakakalimot ay ang paalala.

Tumataas na naman po ang bilang ng kaso ng Covid 19 sa bansang Pilipinas. May pagaaral ang mga Siyentista na kapag wala tayong ginawa sa loob ng mga ilang araw upang mapigilian ang pagkalat ng mikrobyo ay makakaranas na tayo ng higit 7 libong kaso bago matapos ang bwan ng Marso hanggang sa kalagitnaan ng Abril.

Ang buong mundo at ang tao na nakatira dito ay nagtutulungan upang mapigilan ang mapagpuksang mikrobyo na ito. Ang buhay ng isang tao na binawi ng mikrobyo na ito ay wag natin isawalang bahala bagkus matuto po tayo dito.

Isuot po natin ang ating mask. Ang mask ay sinusuot sa taas ng ilong hanggang sa ating baba. Ang dinadaanan ng mikrobyo upang makapasok sa ating katawan ay kadalasan ay sa ilong kaya natin ito ay tinatakipan ng mask. Susunod po ay bibig, kaya po tinatakpan din po natin ang ating bibig.

Isuot po natin ang Face Shield. Ang Face Shield po ay pang harang sa mga laway, plema, bahing, sipon na maaring tumalsik sa ating mukha. May mga tao po kasi talsik laway kapag nagsasalita or kumakanta.

Maglagay po tayo ng proteksyon sa mata katulad ng salamin. May pagaaral din po kasi lumalabas na maari makapasok sa mata ang mikrobyo.

Maghugas ng kamay. Ang dahilan po dito ay dahil bumabagsak sa lupa or sa mga "surfaces" ang mikrobyo, maari natin maikusot sa ilong, mata at bibig ang kontaminadong kamay natin kaya ito po ang dahilan bakit kailangan natin maghugas ng kamay.

Tayo po ay dumistansya sa ating kausap ng 6 na talampakan. May pagaaral po na ang taong nagsasalita, umuubo, sumisinga ang layo na maaring abutin ng mga nabanggit na gawa ay pwedeng umabot hanggang 5 talampakan kaya napakahalaga na tayo ay maglayo layo.

Marami na pong pagaaral, wala pong katotohanan na ang pagsusuot ng mask ay nakakaubos ng hininga. Ang oxygen molecule ay mas hamak na maliit kumpara sa sukat ng covid 19 virus. Ang mga mask natin po ay epektibong sumasalag sa laki ng covid 19 kahit ito ay South African, UK, Brazil or Philippine Strain ngunit ang mask natin ay di nasasalag ang Oxygen.

Sa panahong ng Pandemya, ang tunay na nagmamahal sa kanyang kapwa ay pinoprotektahan nya ang kanyang sarili ng sa ganun ay di sya makakuha ng mikrobyo, kung tayo mapoproteksyunan ng ating mask, face shield, salamin, hugas kamay at distansya, mapoproteksyunan din natin ang ating kapwa.

Kung di naman po importante ang ating lakad, tayo po ay manatili sa bahay natin. Wag natin hayaan macontamina ng mikrobyo ang ating bahay dahil lamang sa hindi pagsunod ng minimum health standards.

Tandaan... Lamang ang may alam.
