Understand Your Risk for High Blood Pressure

Anyone could develop hypertension especially if you have unhealthy lifestyle choices or has a family history of high blood pressure.

Are you aware that as a woman age, the chance of acquiring hypertension becomes greater than a man’s?

Women over 65 more prone to hypertension than men

A study in the United States reveals that one in every three adults has high blood pressure. While women are as likely to have this condition as men, they are more prone to acquiring it during their twilight years.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), men and women both have the tendency to develop hypertension during their lifetimes. However, women over 65 years old are more prone to acquiring it, particularly those who passed through their menopausal stage.

High blood pressure or hypertension is a common condition which triggers the heart to pump blood excessively.  Today, hypertension has become one of the major contributors to the global disease burden, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, since it causes health problems such as cardiovascular disease.

Amado Nazal, medical director of PharexHealthCorp., said that women who passed through their menopausal stage are at an increased risk of having hypertension because of hormonal changes and increase in body mass index that comes with age.

“The most important consideration every woman ages 65 and older needs to make is to recognize the importance of having a healthy lifestyle as the key to preventing hypertension and other health conditions as well,” Nazal said.

For people diagnosed with hypertension, the best practice is to always consult the doctor and comply with the medication schedule even when symptoms are not surfacing.

He added, "Women who are already in their post-menopausal stage need to start taking care of themselves especially when their metabolism slows down. Embarking on a lifestyle journey is not a one-time travel—it is a life’s worth of adventure you can give to yourself. And someday, you’ll thank yourself you did.”

Effective control of hypertension should be a priority among healthcare providers. This is why PharexHealthCorp, the most prescribed generic brand of medicines, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing optimum health among women who belong to this age bracket to keep hypertension at bay before it leads to heart failure.

Invite from NASA: Send your name to Mars: Insight!

NASA boarding pass - my ticket to ride!

Mars trip anyone? Ok, I once dreamed of becoming a space explorer. Receiving the email from NASA Mars Outreach is just exciting.

Again, NASA is inviting the world on its Mars: Insight mission.

Our names will be recorded on a silicon microchip and shuttled to Mars onboard the InSight Mars lander. So, it's not really getting up there, which is good enough.

NASA’s InSight Mars lander is scheduled to blast off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in March 2016. InSight will study the deep interior of Mars to understand how all of the rocky planets are formed – including Earth!

"... be part of that journey and the future of space exploration."

‪#‎JourneyToMars‬

This is the second time that NASA has given the public to feel included in their mission. My son is really amazed about all this.

I was also part of the first test mission of the Orion spacecraft capsule. I'm even a Frequent Flyer with NASA. Cool!

I'm a Martian since 10/2014 :)

So, get your boarding pass to Mars from NASA!

To send your name on the Red Planet aboard InSight, go to: http://mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/insight/

Last day to register is on September 8, 2015 (11:59 p.m. ET).

Ensogo food vouchers: wallet and tummy happy

Ensogo is my most trusted deal site. I always have pleasant experience with Ensogo - from online buying to receiving the products and using the dining coupons.

My best voucher purchases (and my favorites too) are the food vouchers and products with free delivery offerings.

enjoying our Dairy Queen blizzards and Johnny Rockets burger, fries, etc.

Since my family is always out during weekends, I have to find ways to save. Buying food vouchers definitely helps.

I check the branches where I can avail the promo - hoping the Shangri-La Mall is on the list. If not, The Portal Greenfield District and SM Megamall branches are good as well.

I recently purchased Dairy Queen Ensogo vouchers. My kids' favorite weekend treat! Since we frequent Dairy Queen The Portal Greenfield District, that's where we would be enjoying our blizzards. Can't wait!

And, here are other Ensogo deals I planned to purchase.

Figaro's P200-worth of Gift Certificate valid on Selected Food and Drinks (for only P130) -

Figaro branch in Shangri-La Plaza is so near my daughter's ballet school. No wonder my daughter asks for Figaro all the time. I'll grab this voucher to avail their frost, sandwich and pizza.

Pizza Hut's P500-worth of Gift Certificate valid on Food and Drinks (for only P350) -

How can I resist not buying this voucher? Pizza hut pizza is all about happiness - our comfort food!

Johnny Rockets' P500-worth Gift Certificate valid on Food and Drinks (for only P350) -

Let the good times roll! Time for their juicy burgers, fries and milkshake! Love the classic All-American ambiance of the place.

Good that Ensogo brought these vouchers back. My previous experiences in these restaurants using Ensogo vouchers have all been pleasant.

So if you want the best restaurant deals and product deals, head on over to Ensogo Philippines.

Building robots at FIRST Robotics Learning Center

My kids learned to build and program their first robot - a robot that is really functioning!

with their SumoBots

Glad I signed up for FIRST Robotics Learning Center's Mommy Bloggers trial class. I know it would be a great activity for my son (who dreams of becoming a scientist or a robotics engineer) and my daughter (who also wants to be an engineer like me).

FIRST Robotics Learning Center makes use of the concept learning with fun. It's really fun since they're using Lego - Duplo, Wedo and Mindstorms - to create their robots.

lego bricks!

Robotics for 9+ age kids

The 9+ age group where my kids and my nephew belong uses Lego Mindstorms robotics kit (complete with NXT brick computer, cables, sensors and motors).

Teacher Gelai gave the kids a short intro, plus the basic building instructions. Since the kids are ready, off they start building their first robot - the Castor Bot.

Think

Analyze

Build

Be patient and make sure to follow the instructions. :)

almost done!

great teamwork!

Testing the robot functions and movements.

Bring the robots to life!

Since it's best to see how the robot works, Teacher Gelai asked the kids to proceed and make - the Sumo Bot!

Now it's time for the "sumo battle!"

the grand robot battle

My son wants to explore more and try using the EV3 platform (as it can be controlled by smart-devices). OK, hopefully soon.


What I love about FIRST Robotics?

Being an engineer myself and my husband, a programmer - got us interested in their classes. I'm sure most parents want to give it a try too! :)

FIRST Robotics Learning Center is a place where our kids can showcase their creativity, resourcefulness and make their ideas come to life. Its a way for kids to understand and appreciate what they are learning in school. Kids get to enjoy learning without the pressures in traditional school.

Building robot models engages their hands to work and their minds to think. They'll learn by observing, creating, exploring, doing challenges and troubleshooting. By working with other people, they'll be great team players too.

Plus, they have four IDEA (Invention, Discover, Explore and Aspire) rooms where the robotic courses are held. The entire place is clean, bright and colorful.

Invent

Explore

Aspire  (playroom while waiting for the classes)

Such an awesome experience for my kids. Robotics classes is now on their Things-To-Do-For-Summer-List.

Thanks to Mommy Bloggers Philippines and FIRST Robotics Learning Center for this experience.

Inspire your kids to be great leaders not just followers... Builders not daydreamers!
