Timeless Beauty

I have been praising the great benefits of Orovo here in this blog. It's actually recommended by Oprah herself. But more than the celebrity endorsement, Orovo is great because it's organic. Its ingredients came from natural herbs and it won't harm your system by leaving artificial chemicals. Since I can not afford an Orovo detox which is so above my usual budget, I have to settle for home bred therapies in getting rid of body toxins, especially bad bacteria that causes UTI. One way to do this is to drink cranberry juice every day. Cranberry has many beneficial vitamins and other elements needed by th body to function well. The tannins and flavonoids in cranberry also help in fighting aging. They are good antioxidants to replenish in the human body.

Previous to that I have already been experiencing a nagging pain on my lower back at the right. My first thought was that my appendix burst. But that possibility was immediately eliminated since I could still get up and walk about. Plus the center of pain isn't at my side but in front near where my bladder is supposed to be. I immediately sent a message to my sis, asking what the symptoms of appendicitis are exactly. I also wanted to confirm if I could be suffering from UTI or urinary tract infection. After a few minutes my sis replied that it could be I'm suffering from UTI and my ureters were swelling at that moment. It was a relief to know I need not go to the hospital right away. But my relief, of course, is not complete. I know I will have to watch what I eat or drink from now on. I have to avoid eating sodium-laden foods, and stop drinking alcohol, so that my infec...
