Fish Killing of Bangus (Milkfish) & Tilapia!

It's been a one month i think since Fish Killing was happened here in some provinces in the Philippines like Batangas and Pangasinan and still heard lately in TV news. Mostly strikes to fishes like Bangus or Milkfish, Our National Fish of The Philippines which is very tasteful and good for grilled or inihaw, and stew or sinigang and also paksiw. Another fish has been into fish killing is Tilapia, sometimes known as “aquatic chicken”, due to their high growth rates, adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, ability to grow and reproduce in captivity and feed on low trophic levels. As a result, these fishes have become excellent candidates for aquaculture, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Indeed, tilapia culture has been expanding rapidly, and is now practiced in more than one hundred countries worldwide. These are my kids favorite dishes. Actually i did not intend to buy a fish because my children already warned me and told me that they don't want to eat fish yet. And it's true one time i did buy a fish because i was kinda tired of always eating meat, they just ignore the fish and i alone ate it all and thanks that we have a dog i gave some to him. Back to the main topic, yesterday when i saw the fish named tilapia and still alive i immediately bought 1 kilo of it, cost of 100 pesos only, without thinking of my children opinions. When they found out what our viand was last night, they said some comments and perhaps not want to eat but i assured to them that it is alive when i buy it so it means it is safe and healthy. To make the story short, we ate the fried fish Tilapia last night with matching slices of tomatoes sprinkled of a little drops of fish sauce or bagoong. ohhhmmmm yummmmy!          

Typhoon Egay and Falcon caused flood in some places in the Philippines!

It's been 2 weeks already and still raining here. Last week typhoon name is egay and yet unfortunately before he leave, there was an incoming typhoon again named Falcon. Some Provinces and places here in manila right now were suffering high tide flood. Other people were forced to evacuate but others choose to stay in their house. Luckily, our place is very safe and Thanks to Our Almighty Father. As i heard and watching the news, our government and non-government sectors were helping hand on hand again in times of crisis here and i am very proud of them. I salute to you all! I was asking myself now, wondering, where did typhoons come from. Why there is typhoon? And why not only one typhoon in a year either? We only need Rain because rain alone can help us already in so many ways.....We Don't Need You Typhoon, You Bring So Much Rain That Ruined Our Mother Nature And Lives Of Many People, Stay Away From Us!

Different Circulatory System Ailments and their Symptoms.

It's my daugther erika assignment in science. I voluntary helped her to research it in the internet, write down on her assignment notebook. I am doing this so that  she may not be able to play her favorite games in facebook. So wise, isn't i? By the way, here's what i search  and learned from it too, about different ailments we're facing every now and then. Like example of my father's death because of HEART ATTACK. May he rest in peace in heaven with our Almighty God. Amen! 

 1.) Rheumatic Fever - Rheumatic Heart Disease (RF-RHD)

Rheumatic Fever - Rheumatic Heart diseases usually occurs in children. This may start from an inflammation of the throat caused by a germ called streptococcus. The inflammation is called strepthroat. If not cured, strepthroat may develop into rheumatic fever. This fever lasts for weeks.

Its symptoms are swelling of the knees, ankles, wrists and elbows. Abdominal pains, nosebleeds, chest pains and difficulty in breathing also accompany the fever.

If the fever continues, rheumatic heart disease results. This means that valves in the heart are already affected. A child with rheumatic heart disease has difficulty in breathing and easily gets tired.

2.) Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
There are babies born with defective heart. A newborn baby with a defective heart is called a blue baby. A blue baby is called such because when it cries, the surrounds of the mouth and the fingertips turn bluish. This is a sign that the baby has a congenital heart disease. Congenital means that the disease developed before the baby was born.

If an expectant mother gets sick of German measles during the first three months of pregnancy, the baby may develop some abnormalities. One example is congenital heart disease. A child with a congenital heart disease easily catches respiratory diseases and has a slow rate of growth.

3.) High Blood Pressure
High Blood pressure called hypertension occurs among adults. Too much force exerted by the blood on the arteries causes it. This disease is often called silent killer because it can cause sudden death even if the person looks healthy.

The symptoms of high blood pressure are frequent headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and palpitation. If not controlled, this disease may lead to the enlargement of the heart, a stroke or a heart attach.

Among the causes of hypertension are too much fat and salt in the diet, obesity, and lack of exercise, smoking and drinking of alcoholic beverages. Stress and tension also contribute to the development of this disease.

4.) Coronary Artery Diseases - is the thickening of the artery caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits along the inner lining of the arteries. These fatty deposits are called cholesterol. Blood cannot flow freely when there is much cholesterol in the arteries.

An artery may have a blood clot. This blood clot prevents blood from reaching some of the heart muscles. When the muscles do not get food and oxygen, they become injured, if the injury affects a bigger area, the heart may not be able to pump blood. When this happens, a heart attack occurs.

5.) Anemia - is a disorder of the blood in which the red blood cells are affected. The red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to body cells to provide energy. The level of the blood cells may be reduced from the normal level. This results in a lack of oxygen in the tissues causing anemia. The symptoms of anemia are fainting, lack of energy and paleness.

6.) Hemophilia - is a disease of the blood, which is inherited. A person with hemophilia is called a bleeder because when he or she bleeds, the blood does not clot or it clots very slowly resulting in the loss of much blood. In this case, the person needs blood transfusion.

7.) Heart Attack - when one of the arteries in the heart stops suddenly, a heart attack occurs. This is an emergency situation, which endangers the life of the patient. A person who has a heart attack suffers from intense pain. He feels that his chest is being squeezed and he has difficulty in breathing. He becomes weak and may vomit. He perspires and looks pale.

When a heart attack occurs, call for a doctor or an ambulance. Place the patient in a half-reclining position with his head and shoulders elevated slightly until a doctor sees him. The victim should remain at rest. Loose his clothing and let him breathe fresh air. Bring the patient immediately to an intensive care unit or heart station in a hospital.
