ow Does Stress Cause Heart Disease?

Richard N. Fogoros, M.DMonday February 1, 2010

For years it has been "common knowledge" that people who are under a lot of stress have an increased risk of heart disease. But is this common knowledge correct? And if so, what kind of stress increases the risk of heart disease, how does it increase risk, and what can be done about it?

Sorting out the effect of stress on the heart is made complicated by three factors: 1) people mean different things by "stress;" 2) the kind of stress people think causes heart disease may not be the worst kind; 3) until recently, there has been little scientific evidence that stress causes heart disease. However, in recent years new information has come to light to help us understand how stress can contribute to heart disease, and what we can do to counter the negative aspects of stress. Read about it here.

retreat 2010: St. Michael & St. Vincent Class

The grade 6 pupils of PHGS-HCDC Grade School went for a two days spiritual journey. The St. Michael class was scheduled last January 15-16 and the St. Vincent class was last January 29-30. The venue of the said retreat was at Benedictine Sisters Retreat House, Ulas Davao City. They were spiritually accompanied by Liza Ibag, a professional catechist and a well trained retreat master.

The children were able to experience moving and body meditation aside from the reception of sacraments. Fr. Perseus Gonzales heard the confession and at the second day they attended Eucharistic Celebrations with the Benedictine Sisters.

truly rich

This phrase" truly rich " is stricking to me. I claimed it! I am truly rich for many reasons. I have something to eat. I can buy according to my basics. I can share according to I have. I can pay my basic monthly bills. What made me truly rich because
I am loved by God.

I just enrolled to the truly rich club of Bo Sanchez. Through this club I declare to receive God's blessings and become a blessing to others in return.

To become rich is not evil. It becomes evil only when we love our riches.
I believe money or wealth is part of our holiness and using it properly and for God's glory will help us to become holy.

Another Year

Two days more to go we will be entering year 2010.
What is ahead of us in this year 2010? Many of us has mixed emotion. Would it be a
promising year? Would it be a lucky year? No one could give a clear answer.

But what this year all about may come and start in our way of looking at it.
People of faith must believed that this coming year is a year of full of hope. Assurance does not come from us but, it comes from the One who hold tomorrow.The One who hold the time, the One who hold our hand.

It is nice to think that before leaving 2009, we open ourselves with a positive
thoughts that we will be blessed by our God . And declare to receive His blessings in the coming year.

Be blessed and become a blessing to others.
Year 2009 will close but our mission will continue as we journey year 2010.

The Challenge to Love in Action

The past weeks for me was a stressful due to the demand of my ministry in the school and to the accident happen to the old woman who stay with me in my house. She is not related to me by blood, but since she is close to our family no immediate family cared for her I feel morally bound to reach out this old woman. The woman was hit into hard object good that not so serious with some bruised in her left and right shoulders. And every time I nurse her I always think that this is Love in Action.

Just this morning I reflected that this woman is third old folks that I cared. First was my mother, then my father, and now this one. But I believe God has a purpose of giving me this mission. For the past months, I keep on pondering of helping people through my wealth. That is why almost everyday I pray Bo Sanchez Millionaires Prayer. Now I reflected that God is calling me not just of dreaming to have more and just give but concretize love into action directly to the person in need.
