I had to drop by Mercury Drug, the most popular drug store here in the Philippines, on my way home. Well, I had to buy Ventoline nebules again for my son. Whew! It already costs P34/nebule! It was only P25-28 before! My husband did not want to try the one being sold at the generic drug store because of the latest China products’ scare.
What I like about the drug store is its TV monitor showing some health tips and advises. Since the line was long, I just had to keep myself busy watching those slides. I learned many things in my 15-20 minutes wait. Do you know that being fat can make you fatter? Ouch on me! Honestly, I think I do not overeat and my consumption before was the same. It is just that, there was a time that I really pigged out and the result was an added 50 lbs on my weight. It started five years ago when I got pregnant. According to the source of the slide, which is Survival of the Fittest, if your weight becomes 60% greater than your ideal weight, fat cells are being stored and your body tends to produce more fat cells. Are you computing right now? In addition to that, when we get older, the metabolism decreases. We also tend to have less activity or do not have the drive to do some exercise.
Aray! Aray! Aray! Tinamaan ako nitong post mo, Anna. OMG, that is the reason why even though I am eating less now, nothing’s happening
Exercise na talaga ito! Hay.
Thanks for sharing this info. Type ko rin yang slides ng Mercury Drug kaso paminsan nai-strain mata ko kapag pinipilit kong basahin hehe
