Immunity Booster at Home

The rising cases of COVID19 are totally alarming. People are getting paranoid as to what to do and how to go about it. The best approach that we could ever do to minimize the risk of infection is to boost our immune system. Apart from taking essential vitamins, there are other different ways that we can do at home that have been proven and tested to really keep our immune system at its best.

When feeling sick, people have become very reluctant in going to the hospital for the fear of getting infected with the virus. Thus, the traditional methods of therapy resurfaced. Among the traditional methods used nowadays, steam inhalation or tuob also called steam therapy is the most popular, which is done through inhalation of water vapor. The warm, moist air helps in loosening the mucus in the nasal passages, throat, and lungs. This may relieve symptoms of inflamed, swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages. 


     The food we eat every day also contributes to boosting our immune system. There are many immune system boosters that we can find in the market. We have fruits that are rich in Vitamin C, vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, some nuts like almond and sunflower seeds, AND spices like bell pepper, garlic, turmeric, and chili pepper that we can find in the famous chili garlic sauce. 

 The Benefits of Chilies 

Native Wild Chili

     Why chilies? Well, The spicy properties of the chilies in hot sauce have been shown to help beat off the symptoms of colds and flu by easing sinus and nasal congestion, increasing body temperature, and relieving respiratory problems. Based on studies, Chilli peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, which gives peppers their characteristic pungency, producing mild to intense spice when eaten. Capsaicin is being studied as an effective treatment for sensory nerve fiber disorders, including pain associated with arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetic neuropathy. 

Dandom's Chili Garlic Sauce

    The benefits of chili are not limited to boosting our immunity, it also fights inflammation, a natural pain reliever for those who are suffering from diabetes, and can even aid us in losing weight! Of course, eating chili by itself is such a dreadful idea. The best way to eat chili is by eating chili garlic sauce! There are many chili garlic sauces in the market so how to choose the best one? Choose chili sauce that is made from fresh garlic and fresh chilies. The one that is made from native wild chilies is the best! And do you know where to find it? Check this out!

Thanks Virgin Coconut Oil!

I just want to share about my experience this morning.

My tummy aches, obviously because I am so hungry and hubby wasn't home yet. I have already cooked rice but got no viand and honestly, it's hard to swallow rice alone LOL! When I went to the other room to get something, I was lucky enough to find 5 peso on top of our drawer just enough to buy one egg, my favorite! LOL. So tagging along my baby, I went out to buy an egg and when I got home I immediately prepare a bowl where I could beat the egg. I savored it with Magic Sarap to enhance the taste then I realized, we run out of cooking oil! and I guess it's impossible to cook it with water LOL! Then suddenly a bright idea sunk in (Thank You Lord for the wisdom) I remember we have a virgin coconut oil i our room so I check its expiration and it is still good til 2015, it can be taken orally so meaning it's edible, and since it's an oil, it can fry! 

And so I have my yummy egg for my breakfast LOL!

279/366 BPC: Humba Anyone?

Hmmm...
Fruit wine
Reality bites: I do not know how to cook that is why I always look forward in going home to my mother's home especially if there is an occasion because I get to eat all her delicious food preparations. She's a great cook anyway! Well, I knew you are all familiar with HUMBA (Pork Adobo?). It is so tempting, mouth watering yet not good for our health if we will eat it always. Well, in this case, I have a banana as an antidote! LOL! And wait, there's a fruit wine too!
