⚠️ Diumano: Health benefits ng apple cider vinegar, napatunayan sa pag-aaral.

❌️Ngunit napag-alaman na may mga pagkakamali ang mga researchers na nagsagawa ng pag-aaral

Lesson: Huwag tayo basta-basta maniwala sa mga "studies", lalo na kung hindi natin naiintindihan yung proseso nila ng pagsasaliksik. Basahin maigi at intindihin.

At mas lalong huwag tayo basta basta maniwala sa mga taong gumagamit ng "research" kung wala naman silang sapat na kakayanan upang umunawa at mag-interpret ng mga studies.

Ingat po.

An influential study claiming that drinking a small amount of apple cider vinegar every day helps people lose weight was retracted on Wednesday after an investigation found it contained multiple errors.

Take note of the last one and get it while it's still in season!

One client asked me
"Can you give me a list of foods to help me lower my bad cholesterol?"

I scoured Google scholar, read studies, and came up with this list.

Months later client came back with almost-normal blood test results.
Altho aside from these foods, she had an overall balanced diet high in fiber, low in saturated fat and exercised regularly.

Have a great day!

I aspire to write a book one day.

For now, I'm focusing on learning, applying the lessons with my clients, taking note of what works and what needs to be tweaked, and continue learning.

And then one day.

If you’re struggling with constipation, you might want to try prunes.

Prunes are rich in dietary fiber, sorbitol, and phenolic compounds – all of which contribute to better bowel movement and gut health.

Try adding 80g of prunes (around 8 pieces) to your daily routine, ideally split across morning and afternoon snacks. Pair it with water for best effect.

⚠️Warning: Avoid eating too much, limit to 3-4pcs muna esp if you're not used to eating prunes.

I like this particular brand bec it's soft and juicy. Di ko napigilan kainin yung almost half of the pack kaya ayun, watery stools malala 😆
