Coffee - good for diabetes
farmeric February 5th, 2008
click image to see beautiful shots of coffee!
The morning of our childhood always began with a steaming hot, aromatic cup of coffee. Freshly brewed, barako coffee harvested, dried, and ground right in our home.
No one bothered to ask why we, children as tender as five or six years old, were allowed to drink the wicked brew so early in the day, and that early in our life. In Batangas, coffee-drinking is a daily, sometimes hourly, habit way of life, shared by entire families at breakfast, or at any time of night and day.
We drank coffee as we ate a breakfast of fried rice and dried fish before dashing off to school. We’d dunk our pandesal into it till the bread went soggy and unrecognizable but seductively delicious to our young taste.

BELIEVE it or not, I am now craving for malunggay noodles. I am so fascinated with malunggay’s green leaves that I have just planted so many seedlings in a small farm the family has been growing in Lipa, Batangas.
In the midst of the holiday rush for gifts and the free flow and exchange of rich and creamy food stuff, I remember the taste of malunggay noodles, which I experienced for the first time in one of the regional trade fairs hosted by the now-defunct project, WoW Philippines, of the Department of of Tourism.(The DOT should revive WoW Philippines in 2008 to help our farmers and traders in the provinces promote their products in Manila).
Those malunggay noodles came from Cagayan Valley, Continue Reading »
Herbal plants = safe and cheap alternative medicines
farmeric January 2nd, 2008
It’s usually my habit to tune in to AM radio specially on my way to the office and back home early in the evening while driving. One particular Thursday morning , I was listening to DZMM program when I heard the lively tandem of Ariel Ureta and Winnie Cordero interviewing a guy who is a part of the on-going Herbal Festival 2007 being held in Quezon Memorial Circle,Quezon City. I listened attentively because the guy - which unfortunately I forgot the name, was talking about the good benefits of different herbs in our body. I just learned that only 10 of our numerous herbals/medicinal plants were approved by the Department of Health, namely:
- Bawang or garlic = reduces cholesterol in the blood.
- Bayabas or guava = my favorite, usually used to disinfect wounds (antiseptic). The fruit is rich in Vitamin C as well.
- Ampalaya or bitter gourd = very popular to treat or prevent diabetes, clinically proven to lower a patient’s blood sugar. Did you know that the products of Charantia, the company that made the tea from ampalaya (and capsule too), is now being exported abroad like U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, Korea and parts of the Middle East?
