The Philippine Board of Nursing is an administrative body under the Professional Regulation Commission that regulates the practiceof Nursing in the Philippines.
Its three primary rationales are to:
1. Provideregulatory standards in the practice of Nursing by implementing the Nurse Practice Act and by lobbying to Congress any planned amendment to any laws with direct relationship to the practice of Nursing.
2. Ensure public safety by administering the Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination (PNLE) to graduates of Nursing schools prior to practice of Registered Nursing in the Philippines.
3. Maintain high standards of nursing education by auditing the performance of Philippine Nursing Schools.
Cereal crops or grains are mostly grasses cultivated for their edible grains or fruit seeds (i.e., botanically a type of fruit called a caryopsis). Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more energy worldwide than any other type of crop; they are therefore staple crops. They are also a rich source of carbohydrate. In some developing nations, grain in the form of rice or corn, constitutes practically the entire diet of poor people.. In developed nations, cereal consumption is both more moderate and varied but still substantial.
The word ‘cereal’ derives from ‘Ceres’, the name of the pre-Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture. Grains are traditionally called corn in the United Kingdom and Ireland, though that word became specified for maize in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
These are the good effects to our health when we eat adequate amount of cereal:
1. Cereal Fiber Intake Reduces Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in US Black Women
2. Cereal Fiber and Whole-Grain Intake Are Associated With Reduced Progression of Coronary-Artery Atherosclerosis in Postmenopausal Women With Coronary Artery Disease
3. Breakfast Cereal Helps Maintain Healthy Weight
4. Early Cereal Grain Exposure Does Not Increase Risk of Wheat Allergy
5. Whole-Grain Cereals Cut Heart Failure
6. Fruit, Cereal Fiber May Reduce Cardiovascular Risk
7. Dietary Factors May Affect Risk for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Regular consumption of carbonated cola drinks may increase risk for low bone mineral density (BMD) in women, according to the results of the Framingham Osteoporosis Study reported in the October issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
2. Cola Drinks May Boost Blood Pressure
Women who drink lots of coffee can relax. But those who drink lots of cola may have a problem: high blood pressure.
High blood pressure isn’t good. It’s linked to heart disease and stroke. There’s been a lot of worry that everyday coffee drinkers may be at increased risk of high blood pressure.
3. Cola, not coffee, increases risk of hypertension in women
Winkelmayer and colleagues explain that there is much “clinical lore” about the possible association between caffeine intake and the risk of hypertension. Any long-term effect of caffeine intake on the risk of developing hypertension would be of substantial public-health importance, given the widespread consumption of beverages containing caffeine, they note.
Although many short-term studies have shown that consumption of caffeine acutely increases blood pressure, this effect seems to be attenuated over time.
Eating Cheese Leads to Better Bone Accrual in Girls
Encouraging preteen girls to eat cheese is better than advising them to use calcium supplements to improve calcium intake, according to a study on the topic presented here at the 25th annual meeting of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research.
Even better, getting kids to eat cheese may be easier to do than trying to get them to take a daily dose of calcium. But Finnish researchers suggest cheese may even be superior to calcium given in tablet form.
Diet High in Low-Fat Dairy Products May Prevent Hypertension
Regular consumption of low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt is inversely associated with prevalent hypertension, results of a cross-sectional study suggest.
A component found in olive oil may be basically responsible for the heart-healthy benefits accredited to the Mediterranean diet, accordingto a new study.
Researchers tested the effects of eating a meal of olive oil and bread and found people’s blood vessels appeared healthier after eating olive oil rich in phenolic compounds.
Olive Oil May Have Pain-Relieving Possessions
A daily dose of olive oil may act as a natural pain reliever, according to a new study that shows the Mediterranean staple contains an anti-inflammatory ingredient.
Researchers say they’ve exposed a previously unknown ingredient in freshly pressed, extra virgin olive oils that acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, much like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen.
After watching “Horton”, I thought about watching another movie… Then what movie would that be? Nah! It was almost 11PM when I finished watching Horton and I’m sort of sleepy too. Nah! Wait… I didn’t went home right away because I went somewhere (I cannot tell you where. It’s a secret). It was 3:30AM when I finally went home. I arrived at 4PM and reclined my back to my bed. I thought again of watching another movie… And what movie would it be…? I swiftly ran to my computer and turned it on. I checked the top 10 movies in Yahoo! Movies and these were the Top 10 movies as arranged accordingly.
Laughing out Loud! I watched this movie last night in SM cinema one! Weeeew! “Nah, another kid movie… Why am I here buying ticket for this movie… nah! I’m going to waste my time and money with this movie….” I told myself. I entered the theatre house and as expected, it’s so dark. I took a seat and watched the on going trailers. Hamm …. Ice Age 3…. The Forbidden Kingdom….. And (I can’t recall the titles of those other movies featured in the trailers).
And the movie started…. WAH! Is this true! I just found myself laughing and laughing and laughing. Nah… in won’t share what was the whole story all about. You should watch it…. But If want to have an idea what the movie was all about, better click the video above and enjoy… No spoilers here…
Have you seen the real Noah’s ark!? It’s after all found. I’m sure that you are enquiring how it was found and where it was determined and who discovered it. I asked that too… Now, click the video above and witness the real Noah’s Ark !
Trichomonas vaginalis, an anaerobic, parasitic flagellated protozoan, is the contributory agent of trichomoniasis, and is the mainly general pathogenic protozoan contagion of humans in built-up countries. The WHO has projected that 180 million infections are acquired per annum worldwide. The estimates for North America alone are flanked by 5 and 8 million new infections apiece year, with an anticipated rate of asymptomatic cases as towering as 50%.
