These days, I’m eating more healthy. I love eating papaya now and veggies. I don;t eat processed or canned food now but I still need to learn how to eat more fruits because I only love to eat papaya and banana. We also lessen eating fatty foods and those fried foods. We just use our outdoor gas grills when we want some chicken barbeque.

My 2 bros. also stopped smoking… yahoooo!!! My older got the shock of his life when he had a stroke late last year so he totally stopped smoking and eating less fatty foods. I hope we’ll be more healthy this year because it’s hard to be sick.

There are things you can financially plan for in life such as having a baby, purchasing a home, or buying a car. Rarely do people plan for medical emergencies or medical expenses. Not planning ahead such expenses often leaves many people struggling to come up with the necessary funds to cover medical procedures or medical expenses.

If you have found yourself in a position where you need to come up with the money to cover your medical expenses or procedures, the following are three ways you can come with the cash you need.

Payday Loan Centers

Payday loan centers are a great resource for people who need cash quickly. Payday loans allow you to borrow money when you are in between paychecks. You will have to pay interest on the money you borrowed, but it is a great way to get money fast.

Applying for a payday loan is easy. You will be required to show a valid ID, proof of income, and depending upon the payday lender you may have to provide references. Most payday advance lenders will typically approve you for a loan within 24 hours of receiving your paperwork and loan application.

No Interest Medical Credit Cards

Some credit card companies are offering a credit card that can only be used for medical expenses. You apply for the credit card like any other credit card, and will be given a credit limit for your medical expenses. Doctors and healthcare providers can put in applications to the credit card company to raise the credit limit if the medical procedure or expense exceeds the credit limit on the card. People who put medical procedures on this credit card will have up to a year to pay off the balance before they are charged interest.

Selling Personal Items

Selling personal items through a pawn shop or website like eBay can help you get the money you need to cover your medical expenses. Depending upon the items you are trying to sell you can get hundreds of dollars that you can put towards a medical procedure or medical expenses.

Popular items to sell include:
• Video Games
• DVDs
• Computers
• Clothing
• Books
• Old Toys
• Other Electronics such as TVs, DVD Players, and eReaders

Encountering medical expenses that you haven’t financially planned for can be frustrating and stressful. Applying for a payday loan, selling personal items, and using a no interest medical credit card, can help you come up with the cash you need to cover you unplanned medical expenses.

Most often than not, a lot of us just skip breakfast or since people are always in a hurry, they just end up drinking coffee or eating foods rich in preservative like cup noodles or processed food that is easy to fry like hotdogs and ham.

But lack of time shouldn’t be a reason that can keep individuals from eating a healthy breakfast. There are a number of food choices that is very easy to prepare while at the same time can provide the vitamins and energy that the body needs for the whole day’s worth of activities.

Here are some healthy breakfast ideas that is quick and easy to prepare:

Some drugs don’t really show side effects instantly but when used in prolonged periods of time, it may become destructive just like what Actos has done to a lot of diabetic patients.

Actos, is a medicine given to patients with diabetes and it is taken orally. It was approved as a diabetic drug but recently, studies showed that Actos have been causing serious side effects to a lot of patients. Patients showed signs of heart failure, heart attack and there’s even bladder cancer. This is very alarming and as a result, in France and Germany, Actos drug is pulled out from the market already and many Actos lawsuit have been field already. In cases where defective products are found, it’s always best to take legal action. O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath law firm has product liability attorneys that can help clients in their legal battle.

It was found out that he had a mild stroke and that he needs a change in eating and living lifestyle now. He loves coffee (too much of it actually), pork with fats, cigarette and staying up late at night and all of these are the reason why his health is failing recently. We love having bbq on our electric grill sometimes on weekends and he is the one who keeps on telling to us to have liempo, tenga ng baboy (pork’s ears), and even crispy pata. Oh dear.. now his body is asking him to slow down.

We’ve been asking him to also stop smoking as it is really not good for the health and we always remind him that our dad succumbed to cardiac arrest too when he was only 55 so he better take care of his health now if he wants to live longer. I guess he’ll heed our advices.

Right now, he’s out of the hospital and recovering at home. He needs to take all his medicines and consult another doctor soon.

Tsk, tsk.. blame it on my hormones. I guess many women can relate with me and wish this will pass in just few days but for me, it will take about a week before my period and few more days after it was gone.

My cravings for sweet and salty are intense too that’s why I buy loads of junk foods (yay) and cakes that I can eat anytime I want.
