Glucosamine is a sugar-and-amino acid compound naturally produced in the body and plays an important role in building cartilage, the firm, rubbery tissue that cushions our bones at the joints, and allows bones to move smoothly over one another. As we age, our body's capacity to produce glucosamine diminishes and the cartilage could break down and wear away. This could possibly result to joint pain and other diseases related with our joints such as osteoarthritis. Tests have shown that a daily supplement of glucosamine helps prevent the advancement of cartilage deterioration, reduce joint pain and helps stimulate the production of new cartilage. In addition, an increasing number of evidence showed that it is effective in easing inflammation and pain of osteoarthritis. Studies reporting helpful effects have generally used glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate. The use of these joint supplements has few side effects and considered safe when taken in recommended doses. The usual reco...

One can survive everything, except death. Death is inevitable. We do not know when it will come to us. If the people we love are taken away from us by death, the way to have them live with us is to continue loving them. People all die, but real love remains forever. We can always cry over our loss and wish that they would come back but we would feel better if we continue to smile and be thankful for the borrowed life they have shared to us and cherish all the memories we have with them. The sad news came to me on the 5th of January. My husband called and informed me that her beloved mother has submitted herself to the overpowering force of death. After her two-day battle for life in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit, she has finally met our Maker. The loss of her dear mother brought sadness to our hearts and we can do nothing more but grieve. I can barely remember Xander, hubby's brother-in-law, sending us home in his car. Was it a Toyota Camry ? I have not taken notice. Who...

New Year is apparently the grandest celebration of the year. The celebration takes place from New Year's Eve and is often solemnized with great grandiosity. Fireworks are very popular during this season and as such, they are a major part of the New Year tradition. As the New Year comes closer, an increasing number of people are admitted to hospitals, most of which are victims of firecrackers. The Department of Health has issued Department Order 271, series of 2010, in line with the collaborative effort to reduce the incidence of firecracker-related injuries, during the New Year festivity, in conformity with its current strategy. "All DOH hospitals are hereby declared on Code White Alert on December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2011 to prepare their emergency units and ensure the provision of prompt emergency services to injured patients during the holiday revelry". In response to the directive, hospitals have deployed personnel, doctors and nurses in three shifting schedule...

The Taylor Guitars is well known for creating high-quality guitars and its creations were widely recognized as originals. From its humble beginnings, the company has continued to adapt new ideas that provide as an inspiration for its continuous innovation. Thus, the hybrid Taylor T5 came into existence. Taylor T5 gave the guitar world something fresh and versatile. With the features of both acoustic and electric guitar brought together, it connects the acoustic and electric worlds in some sense that brought existence to its own guitar category. There are four T5 models to choose from namely Classic, Standard, Custom and 12-String, each bearing its own specifications. Each model is also available in different colors such as Red, Blue, Black with Edgeburst (transparent black optional), Sage Green Metallic, or Natural and finishes that include Satin and Gloss. The rudimentary facet of the Taylor T5 is its pickup system. It has an acoustic body sensor and two humbuckers that are wired...

A few days more to go and we will be saying goodbye to year 2010. After the ferocious year of the tiger, I am looking forward for the docile year of the rabbit - the year 2011. I was born in a year of the rabbit and, with this in mind, I am so hopeful that the year would be a great one for us all. It has become a tradition that every year, we make a New Year's resolution. I started making my own resolution when I was in grade school through the influence of some friends. Each passing year is different from the other but my new year's resolutions seem to be the same every year. My invisible list includes my goals for the year and the plans on how I could achieve those goals. My goals and plans could be different each year but they are all aiming for one ultimate aspiration - CHANGE. I have set my New Year's resolution for this year but forgive me if I cannot share to you some of my "secret" resolutions. Nevertheless, I have already visualized some plans and tha...
