Anti-Cancer Fruits

There are so many good things that come with technology and modernization but sadly, the same are also responsible for a lot of diseases that only our generation has witnessed.

I have been an advocate of healthy lifestyle after recovering from bouts with illnesses in our family a few years back. We try to avoid food that are known to be bad or unhealthy like sodas, chips, processed and the likes.

Abstaining from these types of food is not enough to be considered healthy. We also need to consume and eat food that would help our body to combat illnesses.

Lately, I've been hearing one sad story after another that concerns the big C. Cancer is becoming prevalent and all the more we should take steps to avoid it.

While there is no guarantee that a certain diet will cure or prevent Cancer, it's still wiser to be aware of what scientists or dietitians say about the food we serve on our table. After all, eating healthy is a choice.

Tropical Fruit Shake

It's rainy season now in the Philippines and why am I writing about fruit shake?  Blame it on the weird weather but this rainy season is awfully driving us to the extremes.

Expect the rains to come by in the evening if not late afternoon. But mind you, you'll be enduring the sweltering heat during morning until around noon time. 


So, for refreshment and to quench our thirst, we've been having fruit shakes twice in a day. One during breakfast or mid-morning snack and another one in the afternoon for merienda. 


This is a healthier alternative to ice cream, I suppose. And of course, to sodas. I still love coca-cola but I have been consciously trying to evade it to minimize my sugar intake.


Here's a refreshing fruit shake concoction that you can try doing at home.

Minatamis na Saba

Saging na Saba is how Filipinos call the Plantain Banana.  This type of banana is usually cooked instead of being eaten raw.  In Mindoro, the most popular way to cook saba is called "Sinulbot"  or what we are all familiar as Banana Que.

Minatamis na Saba is one easy way to prepare a merienda or dessert.
