After just 14 days of eating a healthier diet, women’s blood was able to slow down breast cancer cells growing in petri dishes—killing 20–30% more cancer cells than before the diet change. Researchers linked this effect to lower levels of IGF-1, a cancer-promoting growth hormone.

People eating plant-based diets for 14 years have half the amount of IGF-1 in their bodies, and more than twice the IGF-binding protein than those eating a more westernized diet.

What benefits do lifestyle changes have on breast cancer survival? Here are a few examples:

➡️ EAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES: Eating five or more servings a day and walking about 30 minutes a day, six days a week, were associated with a significant breast cancer survival advantage.

➡️ LOWER SATURATED FAT: Randomized studies show that when people with early-stage breast cancer lower their saturated fat intake, there is an increase in breast cancer survival.

➡️ HIGH-FIBER DIET: A higher fiber diet was associated with a 37% lower risk of dying from all causes put together and a 28% lower risk of dying specifically from breast cancer among breast cancer survivors––and it didn’t take much. There was about a 10% drop in death risk for every increment of 5 daily grams of dietary fiber. 🥦 That’s like 1 daily cup of oatmeal or broccoli, or just 1/3 cup of beans.

The diet that helps to prevent cancer also helps to prevent heart disease.
🚭 don’t smoke
👟 walk every day

By living and eating more healthfully, we can increase our chances of living a long, healthy life.

🍷 Can Drinking Alcohol Slow Down Your GlowSlim & Trim Progress? 🤔
Short answer: YES, makapabagal jud siya.

Here’s why:

🔥 1. Alcohol = Empty Calories
Bisag gamay ra og inom, taas gihapon og calories.
Example: beer (150–250), cocktails (300–600+).
These calories can cancel out the weight loss na gitabang sa GlowSlim & Trim.

🤤 2. Nagapasamot og gana mokaon
Alcohol lowers your control.
Maong dali ka matintal mokaon ug chips, pulutan, or extra rice.
This can stall your progress.

⏸️ 3. It slows fat burning
Your body burns alcohol first before fat, so ma-delay ang fat loss temporarily.

🤢 4. Possible worse side effects
Mas mosamot ang nausea, dizziness, ug vomiting kung mag-inom habang naka-GlowSlim & Trim.

😴 5. Disrupted sleep
Kung kulang tulog, lahi pud ang hunger hormones, leading to slower weight loss.

---

So dapat ba zero alcohol?

Not necessarily pero mas maayo kung dili. Pwede ka mu-inom occasionally, as long as:
✔️ Not on the same day as your injection
✔️ Low-calorie drinks (dry wine, gin + soda water)
✔️ 1–2 drinks max
✔️ Ayaw kalimot kaon gamay before drinking para dili ka ma-hilo

---

✨ Reminder:
If you’re working hard on your weight-loss journey, alcohol can slow you down.
Choose wisely, padayon lang — your progress is still progress. 💙

🌟 FAST vs SLOW Responders to GlowSlim & Trim — Normal ba yan? 🌟

One of the most common questions we get at Pantaleon Polyclinic is:
“Doc, bakit may mabilis pumayat at may mabagal kahit pareho kaming naka-GlowSlim & Trim?”

Here’s the truth: It’s NORMAL. Every body responds differently.
Here’s why ⬇️

💠 1. Metabolism Differences
May mga tao na natural na mas mabilis magsunog ng calories.

💠 2. Starting Weight
Mas mabilis ang weight loss sa unang buwan kapag mas mataas ang starting BMI.

💠 3. Dose Matters
Some respond early at 2.5 mg. Others need 7.5–12.5 mg bago makita ang big drop.

💠 4. Genetics
Iba-iba ang sensitivity ng GLP-1 at GIP receptors sa katawan—some feel stronger appetite control, some mild.

💠 5. Eating Habits
GlowSlim & Trim helps control cravings, pero kung mataas pa rin ang calorie intake, mas mabagal ang pagbaba.

💠 6. Hormone Differences
Each person’s gut hormones react differently—some get full faster, some gradually.

💠 7. Medical Conditions
PCOS, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, at certain meds (like steroids) can slow weight loss.

💠 8. Consistency
Missed doses or pa-stop-stop? Pwedeng bumagal ang results.

✨ REMEMBER:
Fast or slow responder, most patients reach the SAME long-term results as long as they stay consistent and reach their effective dose.

Kung naka-GlowSlim & Trim ka ngayon, don’t compare your journey.
Your pace is still progress. 💙
