Strengthen Your Heart With CoQ10
Strengthen your heart with CoQ10 and live longer!
I started to learn about CoQ10 in the late 1990′s from a man to whom I was trying to sell books about health. He was a strong old man who introduced me to this herbal product which he said is a powerful cure for various diseases including cancer. I was not interested then; all I wanted was to sell health and spiritual books to earn money for my family. Besides, it was so expensive – a medium bottle cost almost two thousand pesos!
I read amazing testimonies of people who were cured of crippling diseases by taking CoQ10. More people get well, and this herbal medicine became popular in more places as a cure of many diseases. I thought it was just a fad and will soon fade away. I was wrong – it is making a comeback and more popular this time.
Recently, somebody sent me a health newsletter about CoQ10. The facts about its health benefits are so amazing to believe. If it were not for the medical doctors who vouched its efficacy and safety, plus the enumerable convincing positive results of various studies done on CoQ10, it would be hard for me to believe.
CoQ10 is an amazing nutrient! It is the energy switch that sparks the more than 100 trillion cells in our body. It is naturally produced by our body in the liver, and its main user is our heart, which uses up to 10 times more compared to the other organs of the body. This production of CoQ10 is normal in children, but as we grow older, at about the age of 30, our body’s production of CoQ10 decreases gradually. Deficiency of CoQ10 in our body can weaken our immune system and makes us more susceptible to many diseases.
CoQ10 has lots of health benefits. It normalizes and restore our blood pressure, help prevent memory loss, and repair damaged cells. It protects the body from free radical oxidation that damages body cells and cause premature aging.
The reduction of CoQ10 natural production in the body is not only caused by old age. Cholesterol-lowering drugs or statins used by weight-loss fads also reduce the body’s production of CoQ10 by as much as 40 percent! People with 25% fall of CoQ10 level in the body can experience illness, and 75% is fatal. Lower levels of CoQ10 in the body can cause premature aging, memory loss, chest pains, irregular heartbeat, and other heart problems.
CoQ10 is indeed an amazing nutrient for the body! It floods the cells with endless energy! It unclogs the arteries of fats and bad cholesterol, improving and boosting blood circulation to all organs in the body to restore healthy body function such as as memory, normal heart beats, and to protect the body from free radical oxidation caused by pollutants and stress that leads to many diseases and premature aging.

Classical Music and Contemporary arts
I love listening to classical music. It started way back in high school, because my mom used to tell me that classical music helps to calm our minds and is great to listen to it, especially when you want to relax or when studying. I also imparted that advise to my kids, so they have classical music in their ipod touch nano and other multimedia players/devices.
I am also a lover of contemporary and traditional arts. I like realistic paintings very much. The paintings of old masters amazed me without end, considering the genius and the beauty in which they had been masterfully done. Blessed are the homes that are decorated with these old masters paintings! They do not only evoke past glory and grandeur, but they are treasures that ever increase in price as the years go by.
But paintings of classical masters are very rare and hard to find. They are sold only by auction and at very high prices. Only the rich and the affluent can bid to buy these priceless pieces of arts. So I just visit museums to take a look at the great artworks and painting of the famous artists.

College Days
My high school days were so fun, and so were my college days. That was the time when I gained a lot of friends and more confidence in myself. that was also the time when I met my best friends for life.
I remember one of my best friends Zita, who is now in Las Vegas who used to tell me not to forget to enjoy life even if I have to work hard or when I already have a family. We even exchanged class rings before we parted, as a sign of our endless friendship. I bet she is enjoying her life watching Las Vegas now, or maybe going out with our other friends who are also working there. I wish I could also join them, I even want to consider maybe continuing to practice my profession there too.
During our college days, we would always go to the school park or library during break time. We would study, eat and sometimes even sleep together. She sleep over in my place, or her mom invited me to go to their place. We were inseparable back then. I really miss her a lot. She is coming home this Christmas and I’m hoping to finally see her again and spend time to bond after so many years.

New Sets of Comforters, Cotton Bedsheets and Pillowcases
My daughters have new sets of comforters, cotton bedsheets and pillowcases courtesy of my friend Nelia. My youngest daughter is so happy with her Dora themed beddings. Actually, Nelia was just repaying the money she borrowed from me, but since she was short in cash, she asked if it’s okay, if she pays me in kind instead.
At first, I thought she was just kidding, but when she showed me the comforters, cotton bedsheets and pillow cases, I realized that she was serious about the offer. I have been wanting to buy new sets of comforters, bedsheets and pillowcases for my daughters, but did not have much time to go out and buy them. so, I agreed to the deal, that she will just supply me with her items, enough to cover for the amount she owed me. I also needed gift ideas for a new mom that time, and it saved me money coz I got a new set of bedsheets and pillow for my cousin Dina.
Nelia was really glad that I accepted the offer, because she said that there was no way that she could pay me in cash for the next few months. But since I am interested with her deal, she was relieved.
The comforter sets are 100% made of cotton fabrics and are imported from Hongkong by her sister. Each set consists of a comforter, a fitted sheet, a couple of pillow cases and a bolster case. She both have king and queen sizes, as well as the junior sizes. I just added extra cash for the extra pillow cases. She gave me super discounted prizes, and I’m so thankful for the offer.
I have checked the same quality of cloth and fabrics in the mall and they cost a lot. Her sister supplies for the same mall, and I can’t be thankful enough because her paying in kind became a blessing in disguise.

Is a Home Inventory Necessary?
Whether you have current California home insurance or you’re doing your research in preparation for taking out your first home policy, you may have come across a suggestion that you complete a home inventory. A home inventory is basically an inventory or list of all of your possessions including furniture, clothes, jewelry, books, artworks and even kitchen utensils. If it seems like a mammoth task, it is, but there are plenty of reasons why it should be a ‘must-do’ for everyone.
First and foremost, a home inventory will give you the value of your current possessions, and from this you can determine the correct amount you should be insuring your home contents for. Under-insure, and if disaster strikes you could be left short in the tens of thousands of dollars.
By having a comprehensive inventory, you can also help ensure that any claims are processed without undue delay. If you are broken into for instance, it’s sometimes easy to miss items that have disappeared until weeks or even months afterwards. You can cross-check on your inventory, and also provide those details to the police, and to your insurance company. By having the exact make and model of items, it will help your claim to be processed easily. The other point to note is that in the event of a loss, your insurer may request that you provide proof of ownership, and if you’re unable to do so, the amount of your claim might be reduced.
Whether you have homeowners insurance or renters insurance, a home inventory is a wise option. Keep a spreadsheet of items, add digital photos of each room and keep a backup in a separate location. You will certainly appreciate it the event of a claim.

Bad Spirits And Ghosts
Happy Halloween everyone! Let me share my own Halloween related story. I hailed from a rural area where electricity was nonexistent for years. It was only lately that the island got electric power, but still partially — only during night time.
During those days, nights were very dark. Six o’clock PM was already dark, and most people were sound asleep by seven o’clock. The tranquility of the night was only disturbed by the chirping of crickets, and it was so eerie that I had to cover my whole body with blanket when I sleep.
Rural areas have many stories of witches, enchantress, dwarfs, white ladies, and ghosts. In our place, Acacia and Narra trees are haunted by evil spirits. Most people don’t come near them for fear of being punished by bad spirits.
One Narra tree near our place was notorious of bad spirits. Every time I passed by it, my hair would rise up and I had to run away from it. On some days, I could hear weird sounds from it Sometimes I could smell delicious food. Some people had seen an enchantress under the tree. They said they can’t speak nor move during such encounters. Though the tree was along the road, some people wandered from their way upon reaching that point, and kept circling around the tree for hours until they came to their senses. And some unfortunate ones were lost forever — never to return to their families ever again.
Most notorious in our place are the appearances of ghosts. It was very common to see the apparition of a man within the first three days from the time he passed away. Most of them visit their loved ones and friends during the third day, and even conversed with them. Some ghosts put the candle lights on and off during the vigil. Others appeared to their neighbors, most especially those who do not attend the nightly prayer.

Improve your IQ with the Rubik cube
Another puzzle that improves your IQ is the Rubik cube. It is a cube of 6 faces with different colors. There are 4 Rubik cubes available in the market: the 3x3x3; 4x4x4, and 5x5x5. People who buy ps3 games at the source have seen the PS3 ad featuring PS3 pwning Rubik’s Cube. It’s really epic, and if you could solve the Rubiks cube as fast as that, you’d be brilliant. But no one could do that, it takes a lot of patience, and hard-thinking to solve the Rubik cube.
To play the Rubik cube, first disarrange or unscramble the cubes to different faces by combining different colors in each face. For a 3x3x3 cube, start by selecting the color of a center cube of a face. This should be your top face. Work out the cross, and fill up the remaining cubes of this face using an algorithm.
As soon as the first layer (top face) is completed, proceed to the second layer. Align all cubes of the same color, and fill up the edges using another algorithm. Once the second layer is completed, put the cube upside down, with the undone third layer on top. Proceed to make the cross using another algorithm. When done, re-align the median colors using another algorithm. Then fill up the other colors in this layer using another set of algorithm. When after completing this, the edges are not aligned, proceed by using the final algorithm until the cube is solved.
There are problems to encounter in a 4x4x4 and in a 5x5x5 Rubik cubes. The 4x4x4 cube is a little bit harder to solve compared to the 5x5x5 cube. The last moves in a 4x4x4 sometimes lead to 2 or 3 hard problems, which can be solved by using long complicated algorithms, before applying the final algorithm as in a 3x3x3 cube. This is the easiest way to solve the 4x4x4 and the 5x5x5 cubes – they must be treated as a 3x3x3 cube. The initial procedure in solving the 4x4x4 cube is to arrange together the 4 central cubes (2 in a row and 2 in a column) and count it as 1. By this, the 4x4x4 is converted into a 3x3x3. Once the cetral colors are solved, the edges colors are arranged together using another algorithm. Apply the same algorithm to solve the other edges. When the edges are correctly in place, proceed to solve as in a 3x3x3 cube using the final algorithm. But as I said, the end moves in a 4x4x4 may result to 2 or 3 hard problems which must be resolved before using the final algorithm of a 3x3x3 cube.
The 5x5x5 cube is easier to solve. As in 4x4x4 cube, arrange the central colors; this time, 9 cubes in a face (3 in a row and 3 in a column). Once the central colors of all 6 faces are done, proceed to arrange the edges. When all edges are in place, proceed as in 3x3x3 by using the final algorithm.

Puzzles To Improve Your IQ
As people grow older, their senses become less keen, and their mental powers are diminished. This may be due to senility, wrong diet, bad lifestyle, and pessimistic mental attitude towards life.
Nowadays people are so busy to observe his sorroundings. His sensory organs are stunted and eventually result to forgetfulness. People are heavily bombarded with noise at home, in the work place, and in public places. These will weaken his power to concentrate, thus aggravating his forgetfulness to dementia.
To reverse this bad effects on memory, and to sharpen our mental faculties, we need to exercise our mind to solve hard problems. There are a lot of toys, puzzles, products that you can use to help improve your memory. Omnia can be used to find and compare them to get the best one for you. One of these is crossword puzzle. It improves our vocabulary for a better language skill. The other one is solving sudoku squares.
Sudoku is a simple yet nerve-racking game. There are four categories: easy, medium, hard, and very hard. There is no math involve, and no formulas to use. Even statistics cannot be used to predict the exact location of a certain number in a square. But it is not a guessing game. Trial and error technique should be used sparingly if ever. Always remember, each sudoku problem has one and only one unique solution.
Sudoku square is divided into 9 rows, and 9 columns that are grouped into 9 boxes composed of 3 rows and 3 columns each. To play, you must fill up all these squares with a number from 1 up to 9. No numbers can be repeated in the same row or in the same column. Also, no number can be repeated in a box.
There are essential methods to solve sudoku. They are the Complete method, the Force method, and the Last Square Left method. For hard and very hard sudokus, the following expert logic apply: the Channeling, the Partnerships, and the Trios, Quads, Quins.
Hard and very hard sudokus are nerve-racking. Even trial-and-error technique is not reliable most of the time. It is better to pencil lightly all the probable numbers in a square and eliminate the others using the different methods listed above. An answer, no matter how sure you are of its correctness is not absolutely correct until you reach the last square. And it can be very frustrating and can cause headaches when you find at the end that the last number does not belong in the last square. And it is very hard and near to impossibility to retrace back your path and find the square among the 81 where the wrong number was placed. There’s no better option but to erase all your answers and start the puzzle all over again.

Right Time To Give Vitamins
Right Time To Give Vitamins, is there such? If so, when is the best time to give your child vitamins? Actually, when it comes to infants and young kids, there is no specific time to give them vitamins. Vitamins can be absorbed just as effectively whether taken in the morning or in the evening. Besides, babies sleep at daytime or nighttime, and they utilize their nutrients whether asleep or awake. When giving them vitamins they could be too mobile, so make sure to make them wear aden and anais bibs to avoid the mess and changing clothes too often. Same when feeding them with milk or solid food.
A full-term infant who is breast-fed (or even formula fed for that matter) normally does not need any additional vitamins, save for Vitamin D, iron or flouride. Breast milk contains all the needed nutrients the infant (up to six months old) needs. Formula milk is also loaded with vitamins and minerals, but still nothing beats the natural breast milk that helps strengthen a child’s immune system to fight gainst diseases.
