C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ L -ano ang "bad fat" na nilalabanan ng sibuyas

Subukan ang ating "Complete the Word" puzzle
Ang Sibuyas Tagalog (Allium ascalonicum L.) ay hindi lang basta pampalasa, isa itong natural pharmacy na punong-puno ng sustansya para sa ating katawan.

Ayon sa science at tradisyonal na gamot, nakakatulong ang sibuyas na lumaban sa germs, protektahan ang puso, at magpababa ng blood sugar. Dahil sa natural anti-inflammatory properties nito, matagal na itong lunas sa ubo, hika, at lagnat na pinagkakatiwalaan ng mga Pilipino.

Kaya sa susunod na mag-gisa ka, isipin mong naghahanda ka rin ng proteksyon para sa iyong kalusugan!

Walang health kung walang mental health. 💙

𝗕𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 is a brain condition that makes a person's mood change a lot. Sometimes, they feel very excited or full of energy (these are called "highs"). Other times, they feel very sad or tired (these are called "lows"). These ups and downs can make everyday life hard. Doctors can help with medicine, talking to a therapist, and healthy routines.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀:
1. The Highs (Mania)
Imagine your brain is stuck in "fast-forward."

The Feeling: You feel invincible, superhuman, or extremely irritable.
The Action: You talk a mile a minute, stop sleeping because you don't feel tired, and make impulsive choices (like spending your entire savings) because everything feels like a great idea.

2. The "Mini" Highs (Hypomania)
This is a toned-down version of mania.

The Feeling: You’re highly productive, social, and "on top of the world."
The Difference: It doesn't usually ruin your life or land you in the hospital, but people close to you will notice you’re acting differently than usual.

3. The Lows (Depression)
This is like a heavy, dark fog that won't lift.

The Feeling: Deep sadness, total exhaustion, and feeling "empty."
The Action: You lose interest in everything you used to love. Even basic tasks, like brushing your teeth or getting out of bed, feel like climbing a mountain.

4. The "Mixed" State
This is often the most uncomfortable phase—feeling "wired but tired."
The Feeling: You have the frantic energy of a High, but the dark, hopeless thoughts of a Low. It’s like having a racing engine while the brakes are locked.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:
The City Health Services Office Mental Health and Substance Use Wellness Unit (MHSUWU) is located on the 2nd floor, Annex Building of the CHSO, Teodora Alonzo Street, open from Mondays to Fridays. You may avail of basic health services such as free screening and select mental health medicines.
