Asthma is a possibly fatal disease. It is triggered by different stimuli such as allergies, extreme emotions, and food. In this day and age when a lot of natural remedies are discovered, most people expect that there is already a natural remedy for every medical condition. In this case, asthma is an exception. There is nothing, natural or not, that can cure asthma. However, there are natural remedies for its symptoms.

Stress can trigger asthma. Therefore, absence of stress can help make a person asthma-free. A lot of natural remedies for this symptom are available. People can divert their attention to something else apart from things that cause them stress. They can relax, play a game, sleep, take a walk, or anything else that will help them relieve their stress.
There are also some theories that healthy diet can help alleviate asthma symptoms, especially fishes that are rich in Omega-3. However, it will be best to get the expert’s precise diagnosis first.
2. Stress Symptoms to watch out for
Stress is one of the most common problems of people nowadays. It seems like wherever they go, they have something to be stressed about. Some people may even be experiencing stress and are not aware that it is actually stress that they are experiencing. There are different symptoms of stress and stress is actually classified as a medical condition.

Stress has a lot of symptoms and these symptoms can be classified as cognitive, emotional, physical, or behavioral. Cognitive symptoms include having poor memory, lack of ability to focus or concentrate, and being pessimistic. Emotional symptoms include mood swings, being ill-tempered, and restlessness. Physical symptoms include pains in different parts of the body, extremes of bowel movement, and nausea. Behavioral symptoms include abnormal appetite, lack of sleep or too much of it, and procrastination.
These are the symptoms of stress and it is important that people take control of it instead of the other way around, with stress taking control of the people.
3. Depression Signs and Symptoms
Depression is a mental illness and depending upon its severity, it can cause harm to the person himself or herself and the people around him or her. There are different kinds of depression and it is always important that the person get accurate diagnosis before moving on to therapy or treatment.

Major depression causes a person to experience a lot of symptoms that prevent him or her to get enough sleep, to lose focus on his or her work or studies, and to lose their appetite for food. They will also stop enjoying things that they loved doing before. It is a disabling mental condition.
Psychotic Depression is another kind of depression that causes a person to hallucinate, withdraw from reality, and experience delusions. Postpartum depression on the other hand, is experienced by women after giving birth. It is a more intense depression than the usual baby blues and is often left undiagnosed.
4. Natural Remedies for Toddlers with Fever
Fever is said to be a sign that a person’s body is fighting off an infection and is a mere symptom instead of a sickness. However, people are naturally alarmed when a toddler’s temperature gets too high. It may lead to more serious conditions and even death. There are some natural remedies for fever that are safe for toddlers.

One natural way to lower the toddler’s temperature is by making them wear wet socks. Cotton socks work best. Just wet the socks and squeeze water out. Make the toddler wear it and replace once it gets warm again. Another way is to have the toddler drink lots of water to help lower the body’s temperature.
It is always important to keep the neck and head cool. For this, towels may be used as well as ice packs. Just wet the towel with cold water and place it on the neck and forehead after water has been squeezed out.
5. Dental Care: Teeth Brushing Don’ts
Brushing the teeth is the primary dental care for everyone. There are a lot of things to remember about this dental habit just like there are a lot of things to remember about what people should not do when they brush their teeth.

Do not use any toothbrush. With a lot of different kinds of toothbrush available in the market, it is a bit hard to find the best one. The first thing to consider is the size of the toothbrush it should be able to move around inside the mouth freely. It should also be comfortable to hold. Its bristles should be hard enough to do its work but soft enough to not damage the person’s gums.
Although people are advised to brush their teeth at least twice a day, the ideal frequency is three times a day. Each brushing session should last at least two minutes. Brushing four times a day or more may lead to gum irritation and brushing too hard may lead to tooth enamel erosion.
6. Ideal Diet for Diabetic People
Being diabetic is perhaps the most limiting disease when it comes to food. There are sure to be a lot of food and drink restrictions that will make it hard for the patient to experience pleasure from eating. However, that should not be the case. Eating healthy can also mean eating delicious food. There are just some things that they should remember about eating.

Diabetic people should stay away from food that contains high sugar levels. They should not eat a lot of sweet food. It would be better to eat in smaller portions, sporadically, throughout the day. They should also watch their carbohydrates intake.
It would help if they will incorporate whole grains, certain kinds of fruits, and vegetables in their regular diet. Diabetic people should also stay away from alcohol as much as they can. Salty food should also be avoided.
7. Tips for Healthy Menopausal Habits
Menopausal is experienced by all women when they reach a certain age. There is no exact age as it varies from one person to another. It is mainly associated to aging and the inability to conceive. It has a lot of symptoms that can drive a woman crazy. Still, there are women who handle menopausal easily. There are some things that women can do so they can stay healthy physically and mentally even when going through their menopausal period.

Good nutrition applies similarly to a regular person and one who is going through menopausal period. They should stay away from fats and cholesterol. They should eat more fruits and vegetables to aid in their bowel mobility. They should also stay away from processed meat.
Women on their menopausal stage should exercise regularly. Aside from getting rid of menopausal symptoms, it will also keep them fit and healthy as they age.
8. Discovering Obesity Causes and Symptoms
More and more people are suffering from obesity. It may be viewed by some people as simply being too fat but the truth is it is a fatal disease. If it gets out of hand, it can lead to very serious illnesses and even death. It is better to understand it and know how to fight obesity.

Obesity happens when a person eats food with a lot of calories that their body cannot burn. These become deposits inside the body that makes the person gain a lot of weight. There are also some genetic factors that cause a person to have big appetite leading to uncontrollable eating and weight gain.
This can lead to symptoms such as having breathing difficulties. Obesity can lead to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression, liver diseases, gall bladder diseases, high blood pressure, stroke, high cholesterol, and joint disease. It can also cause a person to lose his or her self-confidence.
9. The Big C Symptoms
Cancer has claimed a lot of lives and continues to be one of the biggest causes of death. Although not much people understand how cancer works, they know and have seen enough to make them fear it. It comes to get even the most unexpected people. It does not mind whether the person is young or old, male or female, rich or poor.

Some of the most common symptoms of cancer include significant weight loss even though the person did not change anything on his or her diet or activity. It is usually a minimum of 10 lbs. and can be a symptom of pancreas, esophagus, stomach, or lung cancer. Frequent fever may also be a symptom of blood-related cancer such as Leukemia.
Fatigue, even when the person is not doing any heavy task may be a sign of colon or stomach cancer. Skin changes are also a usual symptom of cancer.
10. Detecting Breast Cancer through Self Examination
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. It has taken a lot of lives but there are some patients who continue to fight. There are available treatments though with cancer, nothing can be certain. Early detection is still the best defense against cancer.

A noticeable change in a breast is the most common and visible sign of breast cancer. Usually, it starts with a lump at the person’s underarm area and tenderness of the nipple. The skin also changes to what would look like the pores of an orange’s skin. Lumps in other parts of the breast may also be a symptom. However, when such symptoms are noticed, the person should consult a professional since it may turn out to be not cancerous at all.
Any change in the breast like change of shape, dimpling, swelling, shrinking, inverting nipple, and swelling may also be symptoms of breast cancer.

Care for Vacuum Cleaners


A vacuum maybe expensive but it is an investment you would want to make. This will not only help you multi task but it is also necessary to keep the air circulating in your house clean and fresh. 

Vacuuming regularly helps reduce allergens in the atmosphere like pollens, spores, molds and dander.
To get the most out of your roomba 520, you need not only use it properly but you also need to clean it regularly. The product’s user manual is a must-read before you start using your vacuum. It is ripe with materials that can help you get to know your machine better.

If you do not take good care of your machine, it will break down. Getting it fixed by a professional will involve a lot of money. Oftentimes, the amount you will spend to fix it is even greater than the actual amount of the product.



There are two basic types of vacuum based on the presence of a bag or lack thereof.  If you have a unit that uses a dirt bag, you need to check if the bag is half full already from time to time. The logic behind this is, the more dirt there is inside the bag, the slower your machine gets. This is because it will have difficult time suctioning dirt plus the pores in the bag will be blocked.

The first way to check if the bag is half full already is to rely on the touch and feel method. Another is through signs. Sometimes, a dust bunny or a ball of lint is left behind when you are cleaning up.
For bagless vacuums like the robotic vacuum, you will also need to empty its bin every time it is half full to keep it functioning properly.

A common source of headache when it comes to vacuums is their cord. It is either too short or too long. It can never be enough. If you are planning to clean a room, the vacuum’s cord must be long enough for you to clean all nook and cranny. However, extension cords are dangerous to use for this kind of machine because of overheating. Just keep your cord plugged in an accessible area so as not to yank it by accident.



There are also times wherein the cord may tangle. Be sure to unplug it before you untangle it.  Do not step over the cord or run it over with the machine. Avoid getting it pinched by the door or heavy furniture.

Before vacuuming, clean off the floor or the sofa from objects that might be vacuumed and can cause damage to the machine like coins, nails, staple wires, screws, paper clips, thumbtacks and small parts of the toys. This will likely be siphoned and will surely cause internal damage.

Another tip is to let your vacuum rest at least every 10 minutes. Do not overwork it or else it might overheat. For safety reasons, do not let a young child ride on it while you are cleaning. This machine is not built for that purpose.

High School Life

High School Life is a creative non-fiction  from a perspective of a Grade 10 Student.

When the bell rang, the students rushed to the field. Just by the flag pole, our Music teacher stands. While we were waiting for the others, I looked around. I spotted three of my classmates wearing black shoes. Our teachers tell us to wear black shoes with our uniform and I would if I have black shoes. I looked down at my flip-flops and decided to dismiss such luxurious wish. I belong to the majority after all.

Once the music started to play, I put my right hand over my left breast. I meant to sing but I was mesmerized with the way that she moves her hands, matching the movement of the music. After the flag ceremony, we scrambled into our respective classrooms.

I sat down but not a couple of minutes late, our adviser’s voice boomed, “Cleaners! What are you waiting for?” I quickly stood up and told my classmate to come with me to fetch water. She stood up and followed me outside the classroom. I saw my other classmates sweeping the floor and the school grounds around our classroom, some were watering the plants, and some are dusting the windows off. We filled the drum with water after three trips.

After half an hour, my adviser seems satisfied so she called everyone in. She asked our homeroom president to lead the prayer so we can start the class. After praying, she called our name out one by one for the checking of attendance. About a third of the class is absent. Our adviser tried asking us if we have any idea why many of our classmates are absent. No one answered but studying in a barrio, we know the reasons. Jay chose to take contractual construction work. Mica eloped with her boyfriend. Adrian, Francis, and Michael probably got themselves sick from drinking too much alcohol. Joan found out a few days ago that she’s pregnant.

Someone snored loudly just when our adviser is about to start her discussion of our lesson. The whole class erupted in laughter, waking up and surprising the culprit. It turns out to be Patrick. Ma’am did not scold him. She just laughed with the class. Most of our teachers in our morning classes are used to having one or two of my classmates sleeping in their classes. They are the ones who join the “basnig”, a big boat with a group of fishermen leaving late in the afternoon to fish and returning early in the morning.

Ma’am says that we will read a story. I craned my neck to see. She has a laptop but we do not have a projector so she just asks some volunteers to read the content of each slide loudly. We read a story entitled “A Day in the Country” by somebody named Anton. Ma’am showed us his picture. I remember his face but not his last name. I like the story except for the characters’ names that I cannot pronounce correctly.


We were 49 in our batch. We lose one or two every year because they transfer schools. We lose at least one per year because of retention to the grade level. Now that we are in high school we also lose at least one or two of our classmates every year because they decided to work instead. On my way home, I prayed that I would be able to finish high school right after praying for something delicious for dinner.
