NUGGETS OF WISDOM I LEARNED FROM BUM D. TENORIO, JR.
1. Fast facts on gallstones: 90 percent of people have them, 80 percent of the people don’t know they have gallstones.
2. Too much toxin buildup can disrupt the body’s pH balance, lower the immune system and increase the chances of diseases to set in. The liver/gallbladder flush helps eliminate years of unprocessed fats, particularly gallstones, caused by bad cholesterol.
3. “You become what you eat.”
4. If one has acid reflux or indigestion, it is best to give one an ounce of raw cabbage juice.
5. Muscovado or stevia is the best sugar, especially for diabetic patients.
6. Lagundi and banaba herb are tops for urinary tract infection.
7. Eat less meat to lessen the arthritis pain.
8. The best way to lose weight is to take complex carbs, e.g. wheat bread, potato, camote, saba, gabi.
9. What causes hypertension? Consider these: stress, dried fish, table salt or iodized salt. (the first hypertensive attack of Mr. Tenorio’s father was caused by sautéed bagoong na pula.)
10. Cancer thrives in acidic and sweet environment.
11. It’s not only the lungs and heart that get affected when one smokes. The mouth, gallbladder and liver, too, are at risk.
12. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) contains excitotoxin that lifts your mood while eating then kills your brain cells from over excitation.
13. The methanol in aspartame is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic.
14. You need 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize one can of soda drink. And alkaline water can be very expensive when bought. But don’t worry; it can also be very cheap. “Put three drops of calamansi in clean water and there you have alkaline water”
15. Cucumber and avocado are alkaline-high. (And you should always have cucumber every time you eat inihaw or grilled food.)
16. What menopause is to women, andropause is to men. Here are some of the symptoms according to Dr. Gonzales and Dr. Peneranda: decrease in sex drive, decrease in bone mass, increase in body fats, erectile dysfunction, low energy, loss of lean muscle, thinning hair.
17. The bangus belly contains one of the best sources of fatty acids. It contains Omega 3 and Omega 6. But those good acids are destroyed once you fry the bangus.
18. The lowly malunggay is tops among vegetables. Malunggay has three times more calcium than milk. It has four times more potassium than banana. It has seven times more Vitamin C than orange.
19. Chances are, the perfect fruits have the most pesticides.
20. Bitter is better when it comes to chocolate.
21. Mongo beans and other legumes are sources of uric acid, soak the beans in cold water for three hours then rinse twice before cooking.
22. The best healer on earth is you. (aside of course from God) Because you are the only one who really knows what you put inside your mouth, who really knows what pains you, who really knows yourself.
The road to wellness is easy. All we have to do is to choose well.
