Here’s a strong, responsible Taglish post aligned with your preventive voice, Doc:

⸻

🚨 7 MILLION Filipinos living with Chronic Kidney Disease.
120 new cases. Every single day.

Hindi ito maliit na numero.
Hindi ito “malayo sa atin.”

Kidneys silently suffer for years before symptoms appear.

Too much processed food.
Too much sugar.
Too much salt.
Too little hydration.
Too little prevention.

And when the kidneys fail… dialysis becomes life.

As a doctor, this breaks my heart.

Prevention is always better than correction.

Start with the basics:
✔️ Clean water
✔️ Real food
✔️ Less processed intake
✔️ Daily hydration
✔️ Lifestyle discipline

Water matters.
Not all water supports the body the same way.

If you want to understand how proper hydration can support kidney health and overall wellness, message me.

Health is not accidental.
It is a daily decision.

True Health. True Wealth. True Freedom.

Bihira ako magluto ng Kare-Kare na gulay kasi si Tayla is allergic to peanuts 😢

But today, we finally get to enjoy this Filipino classic together, thanks to a healthy homemade twist:
Almond Butter instead of peanut butter! 🥄✨

Made from scratch with the help of Thermomix,
and simmered to perfection using Kangen Water 💧
(for better taste and better health!)

✅ Plant-based
✅ Allergy-safe
✅ Gut-friendly
✅ Family-approved!
✅ Delicious

Vegetable Kare-Kare, Almond Butter Edition with Black Beans Bagoong 😍
because in this home, health is a lifestyle, not a diet.
And every meal is a chance to love better. 🫶
👩‍👧‍👧 Food is love. And love is making sure no one gets left out at the table.

🥜 No Peanuts, No Problem! 💚

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
— Thomas Edison, 1903

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
— Hippocrates, Father of Medicine (c. 460–370 BC)

These quotes encapsulates the food that I serve my family: that nutrition plays a central role in both the prevention and treatment of disease.

We are not just enjoying food, but we are healing our bodies, and preventing future diseases.

My daughter is helping me make our own Soy Milk from scratch!

Super affordable, no added preservatives, and grabe — super sarap especially when freshly warm.
Naubos agad!!! Need to make more soon!

Why make your own soy milk?:

🥛Rich in plant-based protein – supports muscle growth and repair
🥛Naturally cholesterol-free – heart-healthy choice
🥛Good source of calcium and potassium – important for bone health
🥛Contains isoflavones – natural compounds that may help balance hormones
🥛No additives, no fillers – just pure, clean goodness!

Making your own food is a simple but powerful act of prevention.
Because Prevention is always better than cure.

Great Job Ormoc, dapat pati sa schools and church gatherings.

We should be mindful of that we put in our body. We have responsibility to take care of it.

Everything has consequences. If we don’t follow the rules of health.

Ormoc City Bans Sugary Drinks in Government Events, Mandates Water as Primary Beverage

Ormoc City, Philippines — In a decisive move promoting public health and wellness, Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres Gomez has signed Executive Order No. 2025-012, mandating that water shall be the primary beverage option in all events and activities organized by the city government.

Citing the Local Government Code (RA 7160) which mandates local government units to uphold public health and safety, the order aims to curb the excessive consumption of sugary drinks, which have been linked to various health problems including obesity, diabetes, and chronic illnesses.

Under this new policy:

• All city government departments and offices are directed to refrain from including sugary drinks in food and beverage purchase requests for official activities, meetings, workshops, and conferences.

• In place of sugary beverages, bottled water will be the default option. Healthy alternatives such as unsweetened teas, infused water, and natural fruit juices without added sugar may also be considered, depending on availability and budget.

• The order defines “sugary drinks” to include carbonated soft drinks, sweetened fruit drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, and flavored waters with added sugar.

• The City Budget Office, City Accounting Office, and Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) are tasked to ensure compliance, while the Internal Audit Services (IAS) will monitor adherence.

Mayor Gomez emphasized that this initiative is part of the city’s commitment to promoting a healthier lifestyle and better well-being among employees and residents. | VAW

Ang saya ng feeling if God uses you for someone else's healing. 😊😍

Last Sunday, the driver from GCF came up to me, saying "Doc, Thank you ha!"

Sabi ko, Bakit po? Since in my mind, I totally forgot him and how I was able to help him.

He told me, ang baba na ng Creatinine ko, sinunod ko yung sinabi mo ng baguhin ang tubig ko.

Then, I remember, years ago, I told him to take Kangen water. We made arrangements to help him get Kangen water through the help of Pastor Jonar Garcia and Sis Grace Ann Garcia. ❤️

Now, listen to his story. 👇👇👇

Notes: Normal Creatinine for Male is: 0.34 - 1.34mg/dL

Thank you Lord for using me and this water as your instruments for healing. 🙏🙏🙏

☕🍵 Did You Know? 🍵☕

Both coffee and tea are rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that offer numerous health benefits. However, these polyphenols can also inhibit iron absorption in your body.

To maximize iron absorption, try these tips:

✅Drink coffee or tea between meals rather than with meals.

✅Pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, like citrus fruits, to boost absorption.

✅Balance your diet with a variety of nutrient-rich foods.

Enjoy your favorite beverages wisely!
