WHAT IS N.E.A.T.?

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or N.E.A.T., is a fancy name to describe the calories burned from all of the movement you do during the day that is not exercise, and it can make a big difference in your fat loss program. Examples of N.E.A.T are cooking, shopping, walking, and gardening. The energy burned doing things that are NOT sports or exercise.

Your metabolism is always working to burn energy. During periods of higher activity, your body will burn more calories than when you are at rest. But even at rest, your body is always expending energy.

📊 Alam niyo ba?

1 in 3 Filipinos ang may high blood pressure—at pati teens nasa risk na rin.

🍜 Filipino diet alert: instant noodles, tocino, chicharon, canned meats—sobrang sodium ‘yan!

🪑 Sedentary lifestyle? Lagi sa desk, long hours sa cellphone o binge-watch? Dapat may movement breaks.

😰 Stress triggers tulad ng trapik, work deadlines, family issues —nagpapalabas ng cortisol na nagpapataas ng BP.

❕DOH: PANATILIHIN ANG KALINISAN SA MGA PAARALAN PARA MAIWASAN ANG HAWAHAN NG SAKIT, GAYA NG HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE❕

Sa pagpapatuloy ng klase sa mga paaralan, paalala ng DOH na panatilihin ang kalinisan sa katawan at paligid, lalo na sa mga silid-aralan at lugar kung saan namamalagi ang mga bata.

Kahit pababa ang trend ng bilang ng mga kaso ng Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) mula Mayo 18-31, 2025 (1,964 cases) papuntang Hunyo 1-14, 2025 (1,363 cases), hindi dapat maging kampante dahil mabilis itong makahawa kung hindi mag-iingat.

Ang isang batang may HFMD ay maaaring makahawa ng higit sa 2 na ibang bata, at maari pa itong dumami kapag nasa closed spaces gaya ng bahay at eskwelahan.

🖐👣 Ang mga kadalasang sintomas ng HFMD ay:
📌 lagnat
📌 singaw sa bibig
📌 sakit sa lalamunan
📌 mga butlig sa palad, talampakan, o puwit

❗️Makaiiwas sa HFMD sa pamamagitan ng:

✅Paghuhugas ng kamay gamit ang sabon at malinis na tubig, o paggamit ng alcohol-based sanitizer
✅Pag-iwas sa paghawak sa mukha, lalo na sa mata, ilong, at bibig
✅Pagpapanatili ng kalinisan at pagdisinfect ng mga kagamitan

Stanford researchers have unveiled a revolutionary medical tool nicknamed the “milli-spinner,” designed to remove brain clots in stroke patients with astonishing precision. Unlike traditional methods that often risk breaking the clot into dangerous fragments, this tiny corkscrew-like device gently rotates and extracts blockages intact. In initial clinical trials, it achieved a 90% success rate on the first attempt—significantly improving outcomes for patients who otherwise faced severe brain damage or death.

This innovation could redefine emergency stroke treatment, reducing the critical time window from symptom onset to intervention. With strokes affecting over 15 million people globally each year, the milli-spinner offers new hope in high-risk scenarios where every second counts. Researchers are now pushing for wider adoption and FDA approval, aiming to roll it out in major hospitals within the next two years.

❌ VA**NG KILLS

- Medical professionals are sounding the alarm about a serious and potentially permanent lung condition increasingly linked to va**ng. Commonly referred to as “popcorn lung,” or bronchiolitis obliterans, the disease damages the smallest airways in the lungs, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath that can worsen over time.

The nickname “popcorn lung” originated from cases reported in workers at microwave popcorn factories who were exposed to the chemical diacetyl—once commonly used to create buttery flavors. Although diacetyl has been banned in some products, studies have found it in certain flavored e-cigarettes and v**e liquids.

Experts warn that long-term inhalation of these substances can cause lasting harm to the lungs. Unlike other lung issues that may improve with treatment, popcorn lung is irreversible and has no known cure—only symptom management.

Public health officials are urging v**ers, especially young people, to reconsider their use of e-cigarettes, as research continues to uncover the long-term effects of inhaling vaporized chemicals.

“This is not just harmless water vapor,” one pulmonologist said. “We’re seeing real, permanent damage in otherwise healthy individuals.”

❌ NO TO VA**NG

‼️NAKAMAMATAY ang V**e. ‘Wag magpalinlang sa bango nito dahil nakababahala ang epekto‼️

Tandaan ang EVALI o E-cigarette or V**e Use-Associated Lung Injury. Ito ang maaaring pagkasira ng baga dahil sa kemikal ng v**e.

Kailan ka titigil? Kung kailan huli na?

Para sa tulong sa pagtigil, tumawag sa DOH Quitline 1558. 🚭
