Memory Loss
December 27, 2009Last night we had a merrymaking during our Christmas/birthday and family reunion rolled into one for economic reasons. The mood was festive. There were games which the children enjoyed, the food at the table which consisted of chicken and pork adobo, a favorite Filipino food cooked in water with vinegar, soy sauce, plenty of garlic; pork barbeque, pork cooked in milk with aspharagus, kare-kare, beef cooked with peanuts, onion, pechay (vegetable), and the birthday cake.
The food was all sumptuous. One cannot help tasting all the foods, despite what Dr. Navarro says about avoiding pork. (See Dr. Navarro’s site about his explanations about pork.) We, my siblings and father went home late in the night satiated and took home food from plenty of leftovers.
“We are what we we eat”, an often-quoted words. True we are.
I
woke up mid morning, had a visitor, forgetting about the appointment I made to
attend the baptism of my goddaughter’s first child at
During my 50’s I noticed a decline in my memory. I was so careful about my diet of low fat, once a week eating of an egg, but with no supplementation. Despite following doctor’s order, I had hypertension, poor memory, body aches, and depresseion.
It was only later when I followed Dr. Navarro’s advice of eating at least two eggs a day, eating bulalo (grass-fed cow’s bone marrow), beef liver and taking supplements of multi vitamins with additional dose from garlic, vitamin C and B complex that my blood pressure went down from 180/100 to 130/80. And the bonus health benefit is the improvement in my mood and I have a happier image.
Without the good cholesterol in our brain, our memory fails us, which could lead to dementia or Alzheimer disease.
My father who celebrated his 87th birthday is still strong although walks with a cane, his memory is still sharp. We hope that he reaches a century! God bless you, “Tatay” (father).
