shucks ang hirap intindihin. pero ako i drink hot water after a heavy meal. lagi ako nanghihingi sa resto para ma-burp lalo na kung overeat. kung heavy meat naman i make sure i drink 1/4 cup of coke light


one thing i've noticed though, parang mas mabilis tumaas ang heart rate ko when walking in cold climate. baka applicable dun yun cold water theory mo na yan. pero tingin you must drink very very cold water

i bring ice-melted water sa gym. bago ko punta sa gym, iwan ko container sa freezer, then i bring tom na iced water na. then sini-sip ko natutunaw na water. i suppose applicable ito kasi 2 weeks ago i was 156lbs bec. of the many food trips sa U.S. now i'm back to 148lbs ulit.
