why people go vegetarian

There are four general reasons why people go vegetarian.

1. Health , those people who would like to become slim.

2. Environment, it’s a fact that being vegetarian is the best way to contribute to Mother Earth.

3. Ethics/Morals , there are people who acknowledge that animals also feel the same way, just like you and I , they don’t want to get hurt.

They feel pain.

4. Religion, some are obliged because meat eating is not allowed in their religion.



Tips on how to succeed in becoming vegetarian.

1. Have a strong determination

2. Some people tend to give up becoming vegetarian because they are not determined.

3. It takes months, years to become vegetarian, so don’t rush. Take it real slow.

4. Survival 101, a friend of mine started going vegetarian when he was in a military academy. His diet? : Rice, Toyo, Peanuts, Dingdong, Nesvita.

5. Most people are allergic to Eggs and Seafoods, shifting to plant based diet is a better choice.



Eat your veggies everyday!

Weird remedies don’t work for Acne

[caption id="attachment_1946" align="alignleft" width="200"] Project Headshot Clinic's HIV/AIDS awareness[/caption]

Problem: Acne is one of the hardest thing to manage.

When acne arises you will do everything just to clear it off. Even the most weird remedy that you can think becomes a great idea and somehow there was a time that you would like to try it .

Eating healthy food is not a guarantee for Acne-free skin

The challenge

I started going vegetarian on 2001 when I joined a mountaineering club when I was in college. I had a group of friends’ who were also vegetarians. I became attracted to their lifestyle and I find it cool at that time.

Looking for Most Relaxing Team Building Retreat Place?

My Nurture Spa Experience  in Tagaytay.

I've heard a lot of good things about Nurture Spa so I went there last Saturday to join their glamping activity.

Awarded as one of the Top 7 Spa in the Philippines by AsiaSpa and CNN's Top 28 Most Relaxing Spa in Asia


As you enter the place you will feel a very calm aura and a cool atmosphere. When you breathe in you can hear the sound from your ears.

Companies, couples, families and friends can have fun camping here while absorbing the advantages of Nurture Spa’s treatments. I strongly recommend Glamping because I was able to experience it and I can say that it is worth paying the service.


This is a very nice place to stay and relax. If I would be rich I will stay here every weekend.



Glamping  is short for Glamorous Camping.

Glamping Package combines a relaxing, recovering wellness knowledge of Nurture Spa with a fun of camping outdoors. Nurture Spa Village has stretched a skill and now includes a Sabila Campsite, where Glamping activities will be held.

For as low as 2,500 Php you can have the best camping experience. Includes overnight stay at the garden. The tent is like your room because it has a comfortable beddings and has electricity inside. Good enough for 2-3 person.

Glamping is a good proceed for groups of people to relax, have fun and de-stress, while during a same time boosting their health.



Nurture Spa is accepting groups—from families to groups of friends on holiday, to members of corporate team-building activities.

Teambuiding package costs 4,000 Php/person and 10,000 Php for the facilitator fee (optional)

I stayed there together with my blogger friends as part of celebrating love and wellness as we search for good health.

There's a lot of things that I learned about the importance of wellness.

• Stress is the main cause of chronic diseases and it kills people


• Work causes a lot of stress.


• When you appreciate things that you have more than things that you don't have your mind can easily adopt that state of being relaxed.


• There is a great impact on the sense of smell. Aromatherapy is very helpful if you experiencing  a lot of stress.

Shape: Circle

I also learned that being mindful to what you see around you gives a relaxing effect on our mind. We had an activity; we went to the plantation and we need to mind the things that we see. We need to tell on our mind about the things that we see around.


Color: Green and Blue

Curves



Circles



Lines

The most relaxing activity we did was Qi Gong, it is an ancient breathing exercise which was lead by Hannah Holzgreve, an instructor from Germany.

After the Qi Gong activity we did an exercise called Exercise Circuit.

We had a short trek going to Pineapple farm of Nurture Spa before we had our lunch.

A wellness talk by Ms. Cathy Turvill, one of the owner followed after.

And I also learned a lot of therapy that help you feel relax and remove daily stress. During our stay I experienced the following types of therapy

• Aromatherapy


• Massage therapy


• Hydrotheapy


• Laughter Yoga


• Vegetarian Food

It is very important to achieve a relax state of mind because it keeps the mind clear at all times which is conducive in maintaining a good health

I was also lucky to experience their facial massage called "dilag" and had a very relaxing sleep.

I feel like I'm in a paradise. One day is not enough for me to experience to good things here.

I will definitely find ways to be able to go back to this very beautiful place.

A few months ago I went to an event because there will be a Free Pre-meal and Post-meal Blood Glucose Screening. I would want to know if I am a potential diabetic. I already forgot the exact term of the test results but mine says I am safe and no diabetes. I really do not have knowledge about this disease but since I learned that my father has diabetes it also became a reason why I went vegetarian.
