4 WAYS TO PREVENT FOOD POISONING

 

 Most food borne illnesses are preventable. Here are some tips that you can follow to significantly reduce your chances of contracting food poisoning, whether you are cooking at home or dining out.


·       Washing hands: 
Wash your hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water before cooking and after preparing raw meat, fish, egg, and vegetables. Make sure to wash for about 20-30 seconds.


 


 

·       Food temperature: 
When cooking at home, ensure that your food is cooked to a proper temperature and thoroughly to kill harmful germs. Always check recipe guides for reference for the safest temperature for cooking each type of food.





 

·       Perishable food items: 
Refrigerate perishable foods within two hours or within one hour from purchasing when exposed to higher temperatures. If an item smells unusual after sitting in a room for an extended period of time, then it is recommended to discard it.





 

·       Dining out: 
While eating at a restaurant, if your meat or eggs appear to be undercooked, send the dish back and request for a fresh plate.

WORKING IN UAE AS A REGISTERED NURSE

 Working as a registered  in a government hospital here in UAE is financially enough, only until a certain limit of age.

If you have this in mind, then it is doable to be financially free by the time you reach your ENDO.  Otherwise, you can still enjoy working abroad when you start planning on your next move and invest for the next country from here. Yes, I guess moving to either UK or US before having ENDO is a great idea especially now that the inflation rate in Philippines is so overwhelming talking about the high gas prices and the shortage of sugar plus the threat of another pande...

Breast Cancer Awareness in October

Image
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Over the years, it has gained prominence around the world and is a very relevant topic in almost anywhere with the disease being highly prevalent in most countries worldwide. Early Detection:  There is a common misconception that breast cancer only affects older women. Global studies have shown that women between the age of 20 and 34, with a strong family history of the disease are most susceptible to the disease. All women, regardless of family history, must conduct an annual mammogram, after reaching the age of 35. Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival, and if women can be educated to self-check, this will help increase awareness and ultimately save lives.   It is okay to talk about it:  Women with breast cancer find it inappropriate to discuss the disease with their communities because it is still deemed a taboo. It is imperative that we communicate with one...

Cells lose their normal growth-controlling mechanism, and the growth of cells is uncontrolled. Cancer produces serious health problems such as impaired immune and hematopoietic (blood-producing) function, altered gastrointestinal tract structure and function, motor and sensory deficits, and decresed respiratory function.  Metastasis Cancer cells move from their orginal location to other sites.  Routes of metastasis Local seeding: Distribution of shed cancer cells occurs in the local area of the primary tumor Blood-borne metastasis: Tunor cells enter the blood, which is the most common cause of cancer spread.  Lymphatic spread: Primarys sites rich in lymphatics are more susceptible to early metastatic spread Common sites of Metastasis Bladder Cancer Lung Bone Liver Pelvic, retroperitoneal str...
