00:00Here are our health and wellness tips brought to you by the trusted doctors of the country here in Pinoy M.D.
00:13Happy and healthy morning to all of you, my dear friends.
00:17I am your host in Kalusugan, Connie Sison.
00:19And later, we will be joined by our trusted dermatologist, Dr. Jean,
00:25to answer your FB questions about your health.
00:31Stay tuned for the return of Pinoy M.D.
00:34Because when it comes to health, this is legit.
00:38Stay tuned later.
00:40In this video, you will see an old woman whose whole body is shaking.
00:49She is screaming.
00:50She is screaming.
00:54And it seems like she is panting.
00:59I saw my mom panting.
01:01In spite of the screaming of the people who told her not to come near her,
01:04there is a strong-willed person who shouted at her.
01:08Others told me not to come near her.
01:12How is the woman in the video?
01:17She is really hurt.
01:20She is really hurt.
01:24Meanwhile, here is our dermatologist, Dr. Jean,
01:27to answer some of your FB questions.
01:32Here it is.
01:33Dr. Jean, good morning first.
01:35Good morning, Connie.
01:36And of course, good morning to all the viewers of Pinoy M.D.
01:41For the first question, Dr. Jean,
01:43how can we avoid sweating our hands, feet, and shoulders?
01:47It is embarrassing.
01:49First of all, sometimes, you are genetically predisposed.
01:54Especially if you are still young, but you are sweating,
01:58it means that it is in your genes.
02:00But usually, there are triggers.
02:04For example, if you are very anxious and nervous,
02:07you will have an exam.
02:09So, you should learn to relax.
02:11Second, do you have any medication that you are taking?
02:15There are medications that can speed up the sweating of our body.
02:21Sometimes, there are anti-psychotic medications.
02:25If you really cannot avoid sweating,
02:27you should avoid cloths, especially those that heat up your body.
02:34And of course, it is also prohibited to eat spicy food,
02:40drink alcohol,
02:42and of course, caffeine.
02:44Green tea or coffee.
02:48And of course, we can also use antiperspirant.
02:55So, at night, put it on your armpits and feet
03:01so that the antiperspirant will be absorbed immediately.
03:05But of course, take a bath first before you put it.
03:09For our second question,
03:12the question is,
03:14how can we avoid dandruff when we are getting hair treatment?
03:19Just make sure that when you are getting hair treatment,
03:22it is thoroughly washed off.
03:24And of course, avoid using too many hair products
03:29like gels, waxes that clog the pores.
03:33And make sure that you wash your hair every day.
03:36Because your products might be left on your scalp.
03:41That will really clog the pores.
03:43Or sometimes, these hair treatments can be too drying.
03:47So, if your hair treatment is too drying,
03:49then you should space out.
03:56In this video, you will see an old woman whose whole body is shaking.
04:02Hold on! Hold on!
04:05She is screaming.
04:08Don't come near me!
04:10And it seems like she is panting.
04:13Hold on! Hold on!
04:15I saw my mom panting.
04:17In spite of the screaming of the people,
04:19don't come near my mom,
04:20there is a strong-willed person who shouted at her.
04:24Some people said, don't come near me.
04:27Don't come near me!
04:28How was the woman in the video?
04:31Hold on! Hold on!
04:33She really got hurt.
04:36And lastly, Doctor Jean,
04:37this question was brought to us by Alon.
04:40His question is,
04:41how can we avoid having flakes
04:44or peeling skin?
04:47And how can this be removed?
04:50Alright, maybe your skin is peeling
04:53because it is too dry.
04:56It could be because of the soaps that you are using.
04:59It could be because of friction or trauma.
05:02Do you have chemicals that you touch often?
05:06For example, when you wash,
05:08when others wash,
05:10their feet and hands get wet.
05:13The water is actually drying.
05:15Plus, if you add detergent,
05:17it can add to the dryness.
05:20So, that's what we often see.
05:22Chemicals,
05:23rather than trauma,
05:24your shoes,
05:25maybe you don't wear shoes
05:27or your shoes are too rough.
05:31Anything that can actually cause dryness and irritation
05:34of the feet and the hands
05:36can actually cause dryness.
05:38Sometimes, there are drynesses that have infections.
05:42Maybe you have a yeast infection
05:46or fungal infection.
05:48The best thing is to go to a dermatologist
05:52to see what the source is.
05:54If it's an allergic type,
05:56irritant type,
05:57or fungal type.
05:59Thank you so very much, Dr. Jean,
06:01for answering the questions of our viewers.
06:03Of course, let us remind you,
06:05keep them coming.
06:06Just send us your questions every Saturday.
06:09And maybe next week,
06:10ask us what we read.
06:26Our favorite this morning is
06:28Sigarilyas.
06:30Sigarilyas became our favorite
06:32because aside from being easy to cook,
06:34it's also delicious to eat,
06:36and it's cheap in the market.
06:40Sigarilyas or weng din
06:42is already cheap,
06:43and it's also rich in nutrients.
06:46Sigarilyas is usually served by Marguerite
06:49to her dishes.
06:52When you cook it,
06:53it's crunchy
06:54and it has no aftertaste.
06:56That's why even kids will like it.
07:01It's not just for her kids,
07:04but also for her parents
07:06who are getting old.
07:08In our family,
07:09since my parents are 50 years old and above,
07:13they prefer to eat vegetables
07:15than meat.
07:16That's why I'm used to
07:18cooking different kinds of vegetables.
07:20For today's video,
07:21we're going to cook
07:22Stir-Fried Sigarilyas.
07:24They eat it 4 times a week.
07:27If it's a vegetarian dish,
07:28it's because of its beneficial
07:30for your health.
07:32I learned that Sigarilyas
07:35is good for diabetics.
07:36And since we often eat out,
07:39especially sweets,
07:40that's also our way
07:42to avoid becoming diabetic,
07:44especially our parents who are getting old.
07:47It's good for our immune system
07:51because it's rich in both
07:53vitamin A and vitamin C.
07:56If you have food allergies,
07:59it indicates that you're likely
08:01to lack vitamin A.
08:04According to Madrelyn's parents,
08:07their digestion became better
08:09when they eat Sigarilyas.
08:11It's easier for them to get dirty
08:13when they eat Sigarilyas
08:15and I cook it for them.
08:17That's why Sigarilyas
08:19has become their favorite.
08:21It's high in fiber.
08:23So if you have chronic digestive symptoms
08:27like constipation,
08:28Sigarilyas will help.
08:30It's also rich in vitamins and minerals.
08:35It's also beneficial for the heart
08:38because it's high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
08:42It's also important for our eyes
08:45because Sigarilyas is also rich
08:48in beta-carotene,
08:50which can also be converted into vitamin A.
08:53It's rich in phytonutrients
08:56that serve as antioxidants.
09:00But even though it's beneficial,
09:02many people believe that Sigarilyas
09:05may be the reason
09:07for the increase in uric acid.
09:09Doc, is this true?
09:11The uric acid in our blood,
09:14in our intestines,
09:15only accounts for 30%
09:17of the food that's rich in purine,
09:20such as meat or legumes,
09:24such as beans.
09:25A big part of our uric acid in our blood
09:29is a reflection of cellular turnover.
09:33It's not just in food
09:35that the uric acid increases.
09:38In fact, the increase in uric acid
09:40is a prediction
09:41that your body
09:43has many metabolic dysfunctions.
09:48Our internist and health and wellness doctor,
09:51Doc Oye,
09:52added that it's still important
09:54to eat in a balanced diet.
09:57That's why Marguerite Lin
09:59has prepared different types of Sigarilyas.
10:04Just like Sigarilyas.
10:11Just prepare the onions,
10:13garlic,
10:14pepper,
10:15oyster sauce,
10:16salt,
10:17chili,
10:18mayonnaise,
10:19ground pork,
10:20and Sigarilyas.
10:23We'll oil the ground meat
10:25to avoid too much cholesterol
10:27for this dish.
10:30Once the ground meat is oiled,
10:32we'll set aside the ground meat
10:34and we can now add the garlic.
10:37We can now add the onions.
10:44Then we'll add the Sigarilyas.
10:51Once the Sigarilyas are cooked,
10:53we can now add the oyster sauce.
10:57We'll also add pepper
10:59and a little salt.
11:01We'll just mix it again
11:02until the ingredients are well combined.
11:07Once the ingredients are well mixed,
11:09we can now add the chili.
11:14We can now add mayonnaise.
11:16We'll just add half of it.
11:23This is okay.
11:24And here's our Sigarilyas.
11:26It's delicious,
11:27cheap,
11:28and nutritious.
11:32It's like Sisig.
11:34I'm not a vegetable,
11:35but you can be a vegetable here.
11:37It's delicious.
11:38It tastes like Sisig.
11:41The amount of food you eat
11:44based on calories
11:45or the amount of it,
11:46we divide it.
11:48We want 40% to come from carbohydrates,
11:52and 30% should come from protein,
11:55and 30% should come from
11:58good sources of fatty acids.
12:01There's nothing prohibited
12:02as long as God gives us food.
12:05What's important in food is balance.
12:08And this is not a process.
12:10It's to maintain the right amount of nutrients
12:13to repair and restore
12:16the health of our body.
12:27His grandmother was already attacking him,
12:28so I called his son,
12:31because his son couldn't move.
12:34He was selling fruits
12:36with his grandson.
12:38Kim, who is a farmer,
12:40couldn't resist
12:41and didn't approach his mother.
12:43Because my grandmother is strong.
12:45She pulled me.
12:46We were about to fall.
12:50My mother was breathing,
12:52but she couldn't move.
12:53She was doing this
12:55to her chest.
12:57She was trying to catch her breath.
13:00Kim is a nursing aide
13:01and lives near his grandmother.
13:03That's why he couldn't resist
13:05and didn't help the elderly,
13:08especially when this happened
13:10to his grandmother.
13:11My grandmother has high blood pressure.
13:13Actually, she's dead now.
13:15She was attacked like that before.
13:18It's the same as what happened
13:20to my grandmother and me.
13:22She was trying to catch her breath.
13:25It was like she was having a seizure.
13:28That's why I saw my grandmother.
13:31According to Kim,
13:33the weather was very hot that day.
13:36For me, it was really hot.
13:39I sat down
13:40and rubbed her face
13:41and her hair.
13:44According to the emergency medicine physician,
13:46Dr. Ralph Lorenz-Dantes,
13:49the weather is very hot
13:51and it's dangerous to the health.
13:53In my background,
13:55I was at work
13:56in a hot environment.
13:58Especially now,
13:59when the weather is very hot,
14:01there's a possibility
14:03that she might develop a heat stroke.
14:08Hearing and listening
14:10of the mother's body
14:11can be a sign of a seizure.
14:14A seizure is when
14:16there's an activity in the brain.
14:19If there's an imbalance
14:20in the activity in the brain,
14:22the patient can have a seizure.
14:26According to Dr. Lorenz-Dantes,
14:27a seizure can trigger
14:29the heat of the weather.
14:30Mami is in an open area,
14:33so her exposure to heat
14:36is high.
14:37In a heat stroke,
14:39it can manifest as a seizure.
14:43Our brain has a mechanism
14:45to regulate the temperature of our body.
14:48If the temperature is too high,
14:52the defense mechanism
14:54of our body is lost.
14:57So the tendency is
14:59for the patient to have a seizure attack.
15:03A week after the incident,
15:05we talked to Rosalina,
15:07a 69-year-old mother.
15:09She's the one in the video.
15:19Despite her age
15:20and a high blood pressure,
15:22she still works in the market.
15:25I sell rice cakes
15:27and I cook in the heat.
15:29I have to buy medicine
15:31for my skin.
15:34She said she didn't feel well
15:36before she had a seizure.
15:39I didn't understand why
15:41she had a seizure.
15:45I tried to stop it,
15:46but I couldn't.
15:48I've been waiting for a long time,
15:50but it was my first time.
15:54According to the doctor,
15:55a high blood pressure
15:57can contribute to a seizure.
15:59But in Rosalina's condition,
16:01a deeper examination
16:03should be done
16:04to determine the cause.
16:06One of the complications
16:08of a high BP
16:10is that there can be
16:12blood clots in the veins.
16:14We can't associate
16:16the medication
16:18for high blood pressure
16:20with what happened in the video.
16:22Again, there are many possibilities
16:24that we need to investigate further.
16:28The doctor reminds us
16:29to avoid restraining
16:32or stopping the patient
16:34from breathing.
16:36We should allow the patient
16:38to breathe.
16:39We shouldn't restrain them.
16:41We should make sure
16:42that the patient is safe.
16:45The best thing to do
16:47is to alert the patient
16:49to avoid bumping his head
16:52and to ask for help.
16:54If the patient's presentation
16:56looks like a seizure,
16:58then by standard,
16:59we should assist the patient.
17:01If the patient is in a dangerous environment,
17:04we should remove him.
17:06It's better to put the patient
17:07in a flat, safe area.
17:09He shouldn't hit his head
17:11on hard objects
17:13or things.
17:14If it looks like a seizure,
17:16it's guaranteed that the patient
17:18will be given medical attention.
17:21For now,
17:22the mother is still observing the situation.
17:25Don't be too suspicious.
17:28But I still want to have a check-up.
17:32She also thanks Kim
17:34for her concern.
17:36Thank you so much.
17:38They all know what to do.
17:40I don't know what to do anymore.
17:42There are a lot of seizures
17:44in our area.
17:45I wish I could help.
17:49I can't breathe anymore.
17:51I don't know what to do.
17:53If no one knows what to do,
17:56how can I help?
18:02In an emergency like this,
18:04all I can think of
18:06is to help my grandmother.
18:09Meanwhile,
18:10thank you to everyone
