Vitamin B-6 helps metabolize fat and proteins, and protects against tooth decay, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes. Vitamin B-6 also complements the nervous system by synthesizing the neurotransmitters, serotonin and dopamine.

Regulation of the nervous system is effective in maintaining mood swings of anxiety, depression and irritability frequently experienced during smoking withdrawal. In addition, serotonin helps with insomnia that may result from smoking cessation.

Taking a daily supplement or eating foods rich in B-6 may work to curb cravings and weight gain associated with quitting smoking. Cereal, potatoes, bananas, beans, nuts and meat are among the foods containing the highest levels of vitamin B-6.

Gain Calming Effects
Withdrawal symptoms of restlessness and irritability occur as nicotine levels in the body drop. The calming feeling thought to be obtained by smoking a cigarette is in fact relative to the physical addiction to the substance. The body begins to have difficulty adjusting to a lower level of nicotine stimulation, which can stunt the cessation process by creating a feeling of agitation leading to cravings.

Vitamins B-12 and B-5 are natural calming agents, reducing stress and fatigue while promoting better sleeping habits. Insomnia and anxiety associated with quitting smoking may be alleviated using a vitamin B complex. The stress-relieving properties of the B vitamins may act as a substitute for cigarettes, naturally reducing levels of nervousness and irritability.

Vitamin B-12 and B-5 are found in whole grains, nuts, tuna and bananas. As supplements, they are available separately or within a vitamin B complex.

Restore the Body
Smoking creates oxidation of the organs, depletion of collagen, and cadmium toxicity of the kidneys and lungs. These harmful effects of smoking deplete the body of vitamin C, resulting in a deficit of the levels needed for optimum health and energy.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, providing natural protection as an immune defense from environmental radicals and viruses. Vitamin C helps keeps the body strong, energized and healthy, restoring the body's immune system and cells. Once the body can retain vitamin C due to smoking cessation, it begins to feel physically and mentally energized. The sustainable qualities of vitamin C work toward curbing mental and physical addiction to nicotine associated with cigarette and food cravings.

Citrus foods, broccoli, red and green peppers, and spinach are examples of foods rich in vitamin C content. Vitamin C supplements are available at drugstores and health stores.

Developing Healthy Teeth

The role of calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus in maintaining healthy teeth

Calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus all play a vital role in the formation and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums in both children and adults.

Calcium plays a role in making the jaw bones healthy and strong to hold the teeth in place. However, calcium needs phosphorus to maximise its bone strengthening benefits. Children’s teeth need adequate calcium and phosphorus to form a hard structure during growth.

Vitamin D regulates the body’s balance of calcium and phosphorus and can promote absorption. Vitamin D can also help to decrease inflammation of gums which is associated with periodontal (gum) disease*.

A healthy diet is essential for healthy teeth. The table below shows just some of the foods that contain calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus.

Guaranteed Path and Master Key to Success

Most of us but I am not saying everyone really enjoys RECEIVING gifts in any form be it as a help, comfort, love, financial assistance and material things. Of course its hypocritical to say that receiving is not enjoyable, it is imprinted in our society around the world that gift giving is a gesture of appreciation, LOVE, friendship,  acknowledgement, a symbol of abundance or as simple as saying thank you. 

Me, Myself and I

And presently when materialism is  always around the corner, we are not satisfied and we always need more. Humanity is so intelligent that we can make things so fast that few years back seems impossible to make and everyone of us like to have one, be it is latest gadgets, cars, clothes and so many to list.   The after effect is that we are more inclined to materialism, industrialization and globalization*. Even living a life in simplest form need more money. We always focus on the ME, Myself and  I. We enjoy receiving because of LACK mentality. Everybody is chasing a dream and we forget what enjoying life really means, we forgot to say thank you often anymore because we need more to satisfy ourselves. We feel that time nowadays are very fast and we do not have a time to spare to meditate because even in TIME we also needed more of it. Our mind focuses on WE NEED and WANT MORE. We enjoy receiving something that is why we seldom forget to GIVE. Even though there is a famous phrase that "IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN YOU RECEIVE". But sad to say that this phrase is only remembered when we do not receive a gift when we are expecting one. It a form of pleasing the mind currently sourgraping. What is wrong with the world today? We have knowledge about this simple phrase but we are trapped on mentality about receiving is more enjoyable.

Stock Portfolio After Valentine's Day

This is the first time I make a post about my own experience in the stock market. I feel like it is worth sharing  as I have already made my previous post about stock market investing. I am not an expert on this genre and I am still learning. I do not want to make my portfolio to be available on public's eye since I do not have huge amount of money invested. I made this post just to let some people, specially to some who do not have any slight idea on the stock market and for them to get a glimpse on what is happening this bullish market.

Stock Market and Truly Rich Club

I am an electrical engineer and my knowledge about financial literacy and investments are very limited. I started to literate myself around 2004, I read some books of respected authors and bought magazines about businesses. In the books I have read, they said that the stock market has the highest interest rates but also has the highest risks. So I did not mind about learning more about stock market investing. Years have past and there was a time (I think around 2010) I visited a bookstore and I saw a little red book by Bro. Bo Sanchez titled "My Maid Invests in the stock market, and why you should, too!", I finished reading it fast because it is short and the idea of investing on the stock market was explained clearly. I subscribed in his group truly rich club but I was still hesitant to start investing on the stock market. I received inspirational books and articles about spirituality, personal development, relationship and stock updates.

How to Invest on the Stock Market the Easy way

Philippine Stock Market today is very popular because it is performing very well, it has been shown on national television news, blogs, magazines and many people are talking about it. Philippines was one of the TOP 10 Best Stock Market Worldwide based on it's registered gain since last quarter of the year. Because of this more and more people are getting interest and want to invest on the stock market but their fear of the unknown or the lack of knowledge how to do it kept them at bay from starting the venture.

Always take note that investing in the stock market is very risky. Compared to all the investment tools available today, stock market has the highest interest rate and can beat the inflation in time, but there is a catch, this investment also has the highest risk. To make it simple, the "higher the interest rate =  higher the risk". But why you should invest in the stock market? Because it can beat the inflation rate.

Network Marketing is an Asset, NOT a Job

By Robert Kiyosaki

I am sometimes asked, "Why do so few people make it to the top of their network marketing system?"

The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone-unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon. So why would someone quit short of the top?

Most people join only to make money. If they don't make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged and quit (and then often bad-mouth the industry!). Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan. But joining to make a few quick dollars is not the reason to get into the business.
