Pangkaraniwan na sa atin ang makakita ng naninigarilyo, nagsusugal, naglalasing at kung ano ano pang mga bisyo. Minsan ay naitatanong ko sa sarili ko lalong lalo na sa mga nagsisigarilyo kung bakit gustong gusto nilang ang klaseng bisyo na ito. Biro mo hihithitin mo ang usok ay ipapasok mo ito sa iyong baga at pagkatapos ay ibubuga. Konting usok nga lang ng sasakyan ay iwas na iwas na tayo yun pa kayang hithitin mo pa. Isa pang pinagtatakahan ko ay mga rugby boys na nagkalat sa lansangan halos isalaksak na nila sa kanilang ilong ang isang boteng rugby ng hindi man lamang nasasaktan ang ilong. Nagsisimula daw ang lahat ng ito sa patikim tikim at habang lumalaon hindi mo alam na ikaw ay lulong na sa mga bagay na iyong kinahuhumalingan. Ngunit naisip ko na malalaman at mauunawaan ko lamang ang kasagutan sa mga ito kung mararanasan ko din ang malulong sa mga bisyo.
Ikaw anong bisyo mo?

Kamote
Naalala ko noong grade 1 pa ako. Umiyak ako dahil sa natalo ako ng kaklase ko sa math. Uso pa noon ang flash card at pagkatapos ay may dalawang estudyante na nakatayo sa dulo ng room at ang teacher naman ay nasa harap ng blackboard at hawak ang mga flash cards. Isa isa itong ipinapakita sa dalawang estudyante at kung sino ang unang sumagot ay hahakbang ng isa at kung sino ang unang makarating malapit sa teacher ay panalo. Hindi ko alam sa mga panahon na ito kung uso pa ito. Nagkataong itinapat ako sa pinakamagaling na estudyante sa aming klase at isa siyang babae. Habang inililipat ng teacher ang flash card ay panay ang sagot samantalang ako ay nangangamote sa kahahagilap ng isasagot. Sandali lang ay nakarating siya sa harapan at ako naman ay nanatili sa aking kinalalagyan hanggang sa matapos. Napaiyak na lamang ako dahil sa kahihiyan sa aking mga kaklase. Biro mo ni isa hindi ako nakasagot iyon din siguro ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon e mahina ako sa math hehehe.
Nitong nakaraang linggo ay 1st periodical test ng anak kong grade 1. Ang hirap din palang magturo lalo na't hindi interesado ang iyong tinuturuan rereglahin ka maski na hindi ka pwedeng reglahin. Pero ok naman nakakasunod naman siya yun nga lang nakakasama ng loob ng makita ko na ang ilan sa mga resulta ng kanyang periodical test.
"FILIPINO? 75% KA?!! Anak ka ng kamote bakit nagkaganun? e tinuruan naman kita?!!" sabi ko anak ko na hindi rin alam kung bakit nagkaganoon ang kanyang score.
Habang tinitignan ko ang test paper ay nakita ko na madali lamang ang mga ito kung kaya't lalong sumama ang aking loob sa kanya. Sadya lang yatang mataas ang standard ng eskwelahan kanyang pinapasukan kung kaya't mababa ang kanyang score 41/55 = 75%. Naawa naman ako sa bata dahil kinuwento niya habang mangilidngilid ang luha na pinagtawanan daw siya ng kanyang mga kaklase sa score niya. Kaya sinabi ko sa kanya na kung ayaw niyang pagtawanan ng mga kakklse niya ay pag igihan niya ang pag aaral.
Anak ng kamote oo.

Asin at Kalusugan
Nagluto minsan ang isa sa aming kasambahay ngunit ang kanyang luto ay matabang at kulang na kulang sa alat.
"Healthy yan sa katawan!" sabi niya sa amin.
Marahil ay sinabi niya ito para lang ma justify ang pagkaing ginawa niya na matabang. Naniniwala siya na ang palaging pagkain ng maaalat na pagkain ay hindi maganda sa kalusugan. Totoo na ang palaging pagkain ng maaalat ay nakakasama sa kalusugan ngunit alam din ba natin ang palaging pagkain ng matatabang at kulang sa asin o alat na pagkain ay nakakasama din sa ating kalusugan?
Mas nanaisin ko pa yata na huwag na lang kumain kaysa kumain ako ng pagkaing maganda sa paningin ngunit matabang. Hindi naman ako mahilig sa maaalat na pagkain ang ayoko lang ay iyong walang lasang pagkain. Kapag matabang ang pagkain ito'y walang lasa.
Ano nga ba ang benepisyong makukuha natin sa asin? Tinignan ko ito sa internet at nagulat ako na marami pala. Ilan lamang ito sa nakuha ko:
Salt has many other functions than just regulating the water content of the body. Here are some of the more vital functions of salt in the body:
1. Salt is most effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, Contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water. Naturally the proportions are critical.
2. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells.
3. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics.
4. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of energy need by the cells.
5. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death. (19)
6. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.
7. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis.
8. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses.
9. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine.
10. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps.
11. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage.
12. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body.
13. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic.
14. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics.
15. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs.
16. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.
17. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido. <--- hehehe...
vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs.
19. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death. (5)
20. Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short of salt, it means the body really is short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the stomach with water that it needs for breaking down foods. Circulation to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels become "leaky" in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The "leakiness" spills beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the cheeks and into the neck.
21. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease.
22. Twenty-seven percent of the body's salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis results when the body needs more salt and takes it from the body. Bones are twenty-two percent water. Is it not obvious what happens to the bones when we're deficient in salt or water or both.
