A major new international study has found that walking just 7,000 steps a day can provide a substantial boost to overall health, significantly lowering the risk of a broad range of serious health conditions, including cancer, dementia, heart disease, and depression. The findings challenge the popular, unscientific 10,000-step goal and offer a more achievable target for improving longevity and well-being.

"Di naman siya naninigarilyo pero inatake parin sa puso."

Well, it's not just about avoiding ci******es. Here's what most people overlook:

• Chronic work stress
Long-term job strain (years of “pagtitiis”) is a proven, independent risk factor for heart disease kahit walang bisyo.
(Steptoe & Kivimäki, 2013, The Lancet)

• Sleep deprivation
Sleeping less than 6 hours every night increases the risk of heart disease by up to 48%.
(Cappuccio et al., 2011, European Heart Journal)

• Lack of physical activity
A sedentary lifestyle (total hours of sitting down is 8 hours or more) contributes to cardiovascular disease, regardless of whether you smoke or not.
(Lee et al., 2012, The Lancet)

• Poor dietary habits
Diets high in processed food and low in fiber can trigger chronic inflammation which builds up cholesterol in the arteries.
(Ridker et al., 2017, NEJM)

• Overuse of caffeine and sugar as coping tools
Using stimulants to survive daily fatigue can increase blood pressure and disrupt hormone regulation (Keyword: Overuse).

• Emotional suppression
Pretending to be ok, denying your true feelings, and ignoring present issues can exaggerate the release of cortisol (the stress hormone).
(Tyra et al., 2023, International Journal of Psychology)

• Skipping medical checkups
Just because there are no symptoms doesn’t mean there’s no damage.

Nobody gets a heart attack overnight, you damage your heart slowly and silently over the years until it gives up.

Health should be holistic. Don’t obsess over one or two things, it’s every single thing you do everyday that can make or break your heart.

“Dok, pwede ba itigil ko na lang maintenance ko kasi baka masira ang kidneys ko kakainom ko ng gamot”

Kadalasan ganito ang scenario ng mga adult patients ko sa clinic, ayaw na nila magmaintenance e highblood at mataas pa man din ang sugar sa dugo.

Kaya ang lagi ko naman sagot sakanila:
Hindi pwede itigil‼️

Kaya nga maintenance kasi for life mo na siya iinumin, from the word maintenance e para ma-maintain ang level ng blood pressure at sugar sa katawan ng may Highblood/Hypertension at Diabetes.

Ang target na Blood pressure ay below 120mmhg (Systolic) at below 90mmhg (Diastolic) at Target Sugar naman ay 80-130mg/dl.

Kung lagi mataas ang BP at Sugar mas masisira ang organs (kidney,puso,brain)- pwede magka komplikasyon pa kapag hindi nakokontrol ang taas ng blood pressure at asukal sa katawan.

Hindi nakakasira ng kidneys ang paginom ng mga maintenance na gamot, mas nakakasira kapag hindi tayo uminom ng gamot para macontrol eto.

Ang dapat gawin!
1.Magtake ng maintenance na gamot
2.Imonitor ang BP at sugar sa bahay
3.Pwede naman iadjust ang gamot depende sa result pero dapat hindi eto ititigil
4. Lagi magfollow up sa doktor
5. Lifestyle modification

“Even Small Wounds Can Kill”

A doctor from Sultan Kudarat lamented the death of his patient who died of tetanus caused by a small bamboo splinter injury.

Dr. Con-con Laroza Ladot shared the heartbreaking case on social media, posting a photo of the tiny bamboo fragment with the caption:

“This small bamboo wood will soon take my patient’s life. It wasn’t the size of the injury, it was TETANUS.”

The patient reportedly sustained a minor puncture on the second finger but did not receive a tetanus shot until symptoms had already developed, including neck stiffness and difficulty opening the mouth.

Dr. Ladot also revealed that the patient’s family decided to discharge him due to financial constraints, despite his condition.

The physician used the incident to remind the public that tetanus is deadly but entirely preventable with proper vaccination. He also underscored the urgent need to make healthcare more accessible to everyone.

He urged everyone to: get vaccinated, complete the primary tetanus shot series, get a booster every 10 years, and to clean all wounds properly.

“Even small wounds can kill. But tetanus is 100% preventable,” he emphasized.
