Cold nights are here again which leads to Colds as well!

And why?

As temperature drop, people begin to stay indoors and spend less time in the sun. It simply means the Vitamin D levels in our body begin to drop. With this, our body immune system goes down as well.

The Real Cause of Colds and Flu

Colds and flu are cause by viruses and not bacteria, so don’t take antibiotics when you have one because it won’t do you any good at all.

All if not most of the sickness are due to weak immune system. With less vitamins D during this season,  it will be easy for a lot of people to “catch colds and flu”.

More common factors that contribute in weakening to a weaked body immune syste are:

• Not getting enough sleep
• Less exercise
• Vitamin D deficiency
• Eating too much sweets and white grains
• High level of Stress

Nuts over Coconut by Nestor Cuartero

Coconut Tree of Life

WONDERS NEVER CEASE for the tree of life.

At the 7th National Coconut Festival held from August 7 to 10 at the Megatrade Hall of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, guests were introduced to new coco health products, both edible and un, much to their amazement and celebration.

New health products that caught the eye of the festival-goers included coco sap beverages, skim milk beverages, gluten-free coconut flour, and fiber-rich low sugar food products.

Last year, in the same coco festival, we were won over by coco sugar, nutritious sugar made from coconut sap, which is supposed to be good for diabetes. Other previous revelations from the annual festival include Virgin Coconut Oil in its many variations, including VCO for massage therapy and well-being. In festivals past, also highlighted were other coco-based invetions like coco fiber geo textiles and coco biodiesel.

My colleagues are asking me why I named my sub domain here at PinoyBusiness.ORG as FARM. What’s so significant about this name (or word)? Well, in it’s literal meaning, a Farm is a piece or a tract of land cultivated for the purpose of agricultural production.In contrast, a land that is not cultivated cannot be called as Farm.

With this description in mind, I decided that I want to have a space in this virtual world which I can call my virtual farm. A place or space wherein I can sow all my ideas, cultivate them with visions, shower with ambitions, fertilize with actions and be sun-shined with God’s intervention. I pray and hope that these soon-to-be planted ideas will yield great results that I can share to other people specially the readers.

Like a real farm that needs to be cultivated and be taken cared of, they said that great ideas can yield great results if nurtured properly, and I know that there’s a lot of ways to nurture an idea until it bears fruit. A farm cannot stand on it’s own without the help of the neighbors and the machineries. I may have the seeds but I’ll be needing the assistance of the experts - YOU, to help me grow it. I ask you to help me propagate bright, good, positive and sustainable ideas. I mentioned the word “sustainable” because I want the audience, the public who will visit my farm to be encouraged to pick any of the harvests that they can apply and nourish on their own.

There are endless possibilities that can be done on a farm. It can be used not only to produce harvest but also dairies and livestock. Basically, the goal of a farm is to produce a lot of products which in turn will make a profit. In this virtual farm, I am hoping to produce practical ideas which will give benefits to me and to you in a form of knowledge.

Little by little, as the trees of  knowledge bears fruit, the road to the FARM will be opened for everybody to enjoy the picking as much as you want.

Take a peek now on my farm!
