Have some habhab?

Having browsed through some of my old photos, I've found a few ones of myself eating Pancit Habhab during the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon. This is the 'hardcore' way of eating it. They say, you really haven't been to Lucban if you have not eaten Pancit Habhab the Lucban way - you just have to eat it with your head bent down to be able to suck the noodles straight from the banana leaf and careful not to spill them all over your pretty (or handsome) face =)




Quezon is a a nearby town of Cavinti, Laguna. You can get to Lucban from Cavinti in 10 minutes by jeep. Cavinti is by the way, our province. It is a small town next to Pagsanjan, merely a 3hour-drive from Manila.

If you wanna try Pansit Habhab, you can try it at any Buddies Branches ----but if you wanna experience the real thing, then go to Lucban and have it the Habhab way.

Wheatgrass Drink

I have come across this channel which replays an ad endlessly re:wheatgrass and its benefits. I was convinced! So I purchased a wheatgrass powder drink and plan to add this to my daily diet. I was contmeplating on getting the live wheatgrass at first and thought of juicing it myself but it's too time-consuming for me. What are the benefits of wheatgrass?

1) Life-Sustaining Complete Food

Wheatgrass is a concentrated source of health-giving nutrients. One serving delivers 17 kinds f amino acids, 13 vitamins, 10 minerals, fiber, chlorophyll and enzymes. You may also check http://www.growgrass.blogspot.com/

2) An easy way to eat Veggies

I love veggies, I can eat veggies for a week without feeling deprived of food. But then, you can't avoid but dine-out every now and then.

It is estimated that 15 lbs. of wheatgrass is equal to 150 lbs. of garden vegetables in nutritional value.

3) The King of Alkaline Food, Helps maintain PH Balance of the Body

According to one website, Chlorophyll can cure, help to cure, or improve burns, leg ulcers, trench mouth, tonsillitis, peptic ulcers, several types of vaginitis, urinary bladder diseases, high blood pressure, colitis, tooth decay, arthritis, athlete's foot, constipation, hay fever, rectal fissures, anemia, gas and "acidic" bowels, stomach and intestinal problems, laryngitis, ear problems and impetigo.

> Plants don't have blood, but they have something called chlorophyll instead. Amazingly, chlorophyll resembles hemoglobin in human red blood cells very, very closely.
> Since chlorophyll resembles hemoglobin so much, your body can quickly absorb it and utilize it to nourish your blood.
> Chlorophyll has strong anti-bacterial properties, which help to fight off infections inside your body.

Most of us have acidic body due to acid-forming foods, negative emotions and stressful lifestyle. Too much acid wastes hinder absorption of nutrients. Wheatgrass can neutralize acids more than most other fruits and vegetables.

4) Helps Prevent Cancer
Wheatgrass protects you from and fights against cancer. It has the highest level of ABSCISSIC ACID(whatever that is) due to its unique growing method.

5) Enhances Wound Healing, Good for The Skin Too

In World War II, wounded soldiers used chlorophyll deriviates topically and noticed loss of odor in foul-smelling wounds, faster healing and drying effect of pus and abscesses. Some legs are even saved from amputation. It is also useful to chronic ulcers and impetigo.

6) Great internal deodorant

IN a study reorted in the Journal of the American Geriartic Society in 1980, chlorophyll effectively controlled b.o. and fecal odor in 62 nursing home patients. Similarly, it is found that chlorophyll can be as good as any deodorant. It is discovered that chlorophyll extracts can neutralize offensive odors in foods, alcohol, and tobacco. Also, in patients and volunteers, it effectively neutralized bad breath, body odor from perspiration, menstrual odors and foul-smelling urines and stools.

I have purchased mine from a cable channel for 1,020 good for 30 days. Live wheatgrass can also be purchased at BIZU branches for 120/tray. You need a wheatgrass juicer for this which may cause you almost 4k. I inquired ealier and was told that I would need 3 servings of wheatgrass for a week so a total of P360 a week. I believe either Fruit Magic or Big Chill serves a shot of wheatgrass too. Try it!
