Wellness questions answered

first two weeks.

Try drinking three cups ofYerba Mate tea daily. It sup-presses the appetite.

Cut back on carbohydratesand sweets , especially at night.

Drink one to two glassesof water 30 minutes before ameal.

Q: How can I have a radi-

ant complexion?The only way to achievegreat skin is to address it fromthe inside out. Trust me on this.Being the largest detoxificationorgan in the body, the skin re-flects anything and everything

you consume.

Go green immediately. Eatas much raw fresh vegetablesand fruits as possible. You needto get enzymesthis is your realsecret. And you can only sourcethis from fresh greens and fruits.

Increase your antioxidantpower by taking a vitamin-min-eral supplement. Take one cap-sule of cod liver oil daily. Itmoisturizes your skin. Yoursweat glands need a workout,so exercise daily.

Get six to eight hours ofsleep.

Cut back on sugary, re-

fined foods.Stop frowning and start

smiling.

Manage your stresswhether physical, emotional ormental.

Q: Is there a remedy forthinning or falling hair?

The original thinking is thatthe culprit is your genetic predis-position. Today, this only ac-counts for 50 percent of the prob-lem. Other health experts say 30percent. Now this is good news.

Yes, there is a r emedy.

Aloe vera, the miracle plantcan contribute to scalp health.Rub a freshly picked stem fromthe plant, peel it well and rubthe clear, gel-like substance on

your scalp. Leave on for 30minutes, then rinse.

Virgin coconut oil(VCO)has been used formany generations to ensure athick, healthy head of hair.Once a week, apply it as a scalpmask. Wear a shower cap.

Leave on for an hour. Shampooand rinse.Freshly squeezed coconut

milk works wonders on thescalp and hair. Rub it and combit through. Do this ritual once a

week.Chelated zincOne tablet

(8-10 mg) daily after a fullmeal can be helpful. Immediateresults include a dramatic less-ening of falling hair and thick-ening of the hair shaft.

LysineA healthy dose is

considered to be anywhere from1-1.5 g, taken in supplementform or from food. It is bestfound in fish, legumes andsome whole grains.

Hair tonicsThere are sev-eral natural hair tonics in themarket that can help you. Con-sider Novuhair, the all-naturalcocktail that includes an effec-tive combination of aloe vera,biotin, VCO peppermint. Testi-monials have been positive (call

THIS ISNT a know-it-all, do-it-yourself guide to

wellness. Because the landscape of health iscontinuously evolving, so, too, are the ap-

proaches. These are your frequently asked questionsand the corresponding answers.

Q: Is there a natural curefor all ailments?

There should be. Because Ibelieve in nutritional medicine(that is, healing benefits from

food), then the answer must beyes. Before you try finding acure the natural way, look forthe cause of the symptoms. If

you have a recurring condition,say for example, sinusitis, youcould be allergic to certain sub-stances, (like dust pollen, ani-mal hair, cigarette smoke), havea deviated septum (misalignednasal bone formation), or aresensitive to drafts, cold air, etc.If you dont address the cause,the symptoms will always recur.

Other things to considerwhen tracking down the causeof an ailment are:

Genetic predispositionStressSpine misalignmentParasitesFungusMineral/vitamin deficiencyDehydrationMalnutrition/ undernutritionHeavy metal toxicityQ: Can you share your

weight-loss secrets?

Heres a fact: Most peoplewho are thin eat a substantialbreakfast. The first rule there-fore is to have breakfast, and anutritious one at that. Eating

the right kind of foods gets yourbody burning fat. On the otherhand, if you feast on high-fatfoods, your body will retain fatand the result is weight gain.

Sample breakfast: freshfruits, hard- boiled/scrambledegg, sardines/lean meat, chick-en or fish, brown/red rice orhigh-fiber bread.

Eat raw, fresh salad two tothree times daily.

Consume one or two ap-ples a day before meals.

Drink 1 tsp extra-virgin,cold-pressed coconut oil on anempty stomach before breakfastand dinner. VCO normalizesacid reflux and speeds upmetabolism.

Add acidophilus and diges-tive enzymes to your eatinghabits. They both contribute to

weight loss. Any gas, bloatingor underdigestion you experi-enced before will vanish. Those

TRUSTTHE defending champs trust themselves. ROMY HOMILLADA

CCP Bobcats awe oppositionBy Danielle Nakpil

AFTER a painful loss to the University ofCordilleras Jaguars and a botched back-to-back championship in 2011, the Central Col-

leges of the Philippines Bobcats made a powerfulcomeback and reminded the opposition who own theNational Cheerleading Competition.

The Bobcats brought hometheir fourth overall crown in the2012 National Cheerleading

Competition. They preyed onUAAP Cheerdance Competitionbridesmaid Far Eastern Univer-sity Cheering Squad, whichplaced second and the Universi-ty of Perpetual Help SystemDelta Altas, which finishedthird.

The CCP Bobcats emergednot only as champions but asrecord breakers in the entireNCC history, scoring an impres-sive 322.5 points, to finish sev-eral notches above FEU andUPHSD (310.0 and 296.0 pointsrespectively).

CCP Bobcats have been ac-tively competing in the NCCsince its inception in 2006,saidhead coach Arnold Villanuevaon the teams dominance in theleague.

According to Villanueva, hissquad has a lot of advantage interms of cheerleading which ledthem to their fourth crown.

Our main advantage over

the other teams is our experi-ence with the competition for-mat. Unlike other teams whohave been used to cheerdance,cheerleading is totally differentand I can say its the Bobcatsgame, he added.

In cheerdancing, every squadhas 4-5 minutes to showcasetheir routine and focuses moreon the dance portion. On theother hand, cheerleading focus-es on the stunts and gives each

team a total of 2 minutes and

30 seconds only.But, as one song goes, even

the best fall down sometimes.

Despite their reign in theleague, the Bobcats also hadtheir share of downs. Whatcould have been a repeat in2011 was spoiled by the UCJaguars, and the Bobcats admit-ted what went wrong.

Medyo naging petiks kami.Puro guestings kasi,admittedBobcat Desiree Cruz.

After ruling the 2010 NCCchampionship, the Bobcatsstarted appearing on noontimeshows like ABS-CBNsHappy Yippee Yehey.They also won inShowtimes CampusClash Dance Compe-tition.

The Sta. Mesa-basedsquad learned theirlesson and started totrain early after the

loss in 2011.According to Villanueva, they

trained very hard for 10 monthsin order to get the team well-oiled, especially the rookies.Team member Cecilio Cabuenasalso admitted that they werepressured to reclaim the crown.

Sobrang pressured. Nungnatalo kami nung 2011, nagdouble time kami sa training.

Yung eagernes naming manalo,

doble doble talaga. Gusto talaganaming mag champion nung2012, he said. Nakatayopalang kami, gusto na namingmanalo. Run-through palang,gusto na naming manalo.

The 40-member squad inten-sified their stunts and routinesfor their much anticipatedcomeback. According to them,their winning formula is theirtrust in themselves, in theirteammates, and in their coach.

Pinilit naming bumangon.Iba yung pakiramdam. Iba yungmotivation namin, Cabuenasadded.

This upcoming season, how-ever, will be a severe test sincethe Bobcats would be losing alot of veterans. But according tothem, they have no doubts andfears in facing future chal-lenges.

We never let our guard

down. We will exert all effortsand push the team further torealize our dream of a doubleback-to-back crowns, a feat noother team has ever accom-plished, said a vigorous Coach

Arnold Villanueva. For him,they were never as ready asthey are now.

Lalaban at lalaban kamibasta buo kami, said Cabuenas.Bobcats kami eh. All for God,CCP Bobcats.

FEU hates to miss this timeBy Denison Rey DalupangT

AKING notes fromtheir dismalshowing from last

year, wher e they lande dbehind eventual champsCCP Bobcats, FEU isagain ready to aim and

fire- and, for a change,not miss.

The squad, despite beingpencilled as the favorites forlast years NCC crown for itssmoothly-executed basic ele-ments and pyramids, was penal-ized with 13 pointsa deduc-tion that played heavily in theoutcome as they were deprivedof a 323-point finish. The Bob-cats won the event with 322.5points.

Stunts coach Francis Fulgen-cio, though, emphasizes thesquads maturity, saying it hasand will continue to be one oftheir strengths.

In every competition, I be-lieve each team learns a share oflesson, Fulgencio said. We tryto learn from our inadequacies--in both wins and losses.

But the Morayta-based squadmay have to deal with anotherform of adversity as the injury

bug and academic hurdlesdidnt spare themsideliningthree of their key membersBryan Bumbales, Xavier Tanand Jansen Magadiong.

The three are still tentativefor clearance in Marchs NCCskirmish. They are at the mo-ment listed as reserves.

Meanwhile, Eryka de Roxas,who rose from the ranks as thesquads captain, said that FEU

will draw its brilliance through

Karl Bugtai, Annievi Perez, MaeZuiga, Giovanni Perturbos,Lester Buluran and FeradilleSalcedo.

Bugtai, Buluran and Perezwere members of the 2009squad that ruled the UAAPCheerdance Competition.

De Roxas notes that they arecurrently putting premium ontechnicalities and audience im-pact.

Were trying to up our anteof our showmanship, she said.

I think thats where we lacksorely.

According to FEUs 10-timecoach Jacqueline Alolor-Alota,

the squads greatest opponentsare themselves.

Well try to bring perfect ex-ecution, she added. Lessons

learned--well be more focusedand well try to finally achievehigher--all through performing

Big Three takes chargeT

HERES no doubt that Adamsons bid to end itstitle-drought in the heated UAAP volleyball warsdepends on the performances of its Big Three.

Composed of Ma. Paulina Pau Soriano, Sheila Bhebs Pinedaand Luisa Mae Mayette Zapanta, the Big Three is well-known inthe local volleyball circles as the key to the success of the Lady Fal-cons in the face of awesome competitions.

We do our job. Winning is about teamwork. There are threeother players on court. Our job is to lift our team and follow theinstructions of our coach, said the 5-foot-7 Soriano, who like Pine-da and Zapanta, are veterans of the Shakeys V-League.

Zapanta, a Customs Administration student, is playing with gus-to. After losing unwanted poundage, Zapanta, a native of DavaoCity, has the extra kick in her hits and defense.

Pineda endears herself to the crowd with gutsy kills againsttaller defenders.

I know my role, said the 5-foot-4 Pineda. Were up againsttough rivals and we must not let our guards down.

After finishing the first round of eliminations with a 4-3 card,the Big Three believes that they can still improve and show the fa-

vorites a run for their money.Weve learned from our mistakes. We are determined to

do better in the next round, Soriano concluded.As a starter, the Lady Falcons got back at first round

tormentors Ateneo Lady Eagles in five thrilling sets atthe start of the second round. Dennis Eroa

USTs Lantinknows her roleBy Randolph B. Leongson

WHEN University of Santo Tomaslost top volleyball setter Rhea Ka-

trina Dimaculangan to gradua-tion, the Tigresses knew they hadto fill the void quickly.

Good thing that coach Arthur OdjieMamon found the solution in form of herthird-year player, Ma. Loren Lantin.

One of USTs top recruits three yearsago, Lantin has settled nicely in her role ofassisting a powerful line-up led by Judy

Anne Caballejo, Maika Ortiz, Maruja Banati-cla, Pamela Lastimosa and Carmela Tunay.

Di ko na lang iniisip yung pressure,the 21-year-old biology major said.

Whether she minds it or not, Lantin hasto live up to the expectations given USTsname card of being perennial contenders inthe UAAP volleyball wars. Moreover, she isexpected to deliver, just as the great settersin the past, like Denise Patricia Tan and Di-maculangan, did for the Tigresses.

Lantin, though, will not be thrusted intothe squad without guidance. Dimaculangan,their squads ate and the UAAP Season 72Finals MVP, now serves as a trainer for theTigresses, mentoring the 5-foot-7 Lantin androokie setter Aleine Cabaos.

But Lantin downplays her newly activerole to the squad.

Ang importante sa akin, magawa koyung r ole ko sa team, said the Povedaproduct. Kung ano yung hingin sa akinni Coach (Mamon) whenever Im on thecourt, dapat magawa ko ng tama.

With all the talk of USTs performance inthe tourney with her being the primary set-ter, Lantin said there is no difference fromthis year to last year, and doesnt want toget caught up with the comparisons.

Nothings new. Pareho lang naman yungtraining namin kahit nung naglalaro pa si

Ate Rhea (Dimaculangan) eh, she said.But she admits that what the Tigresses

need to do is to focus more on their de-fensive end. We just have to practicemore on our floor defense for us to getbetter results in our matches, she said.

Whether Loren would pass the test ofthe keen UST supporters closely watchingher, she said that there is only one thingthat defines them whenever the squad ison the floor.

We are all eager to win. Thats all.

Jeushl Wensh Tiu

says DLSUs specialBy Randolph B. LeongsonITS hard to get noticed in ateam overflowing with goodlooks and great talent.

But for La Salle open hitterJeushl Wensh Tiu, shed ratherfocus on the Lady Archers questfor a third straight champi-onship in the UAAP womens

volleyball tournament.I do the best in my position,

na magkamali man ako, alamkong makakabawi ako the nexttime I get the chance, said theadvertising management major.We cover each others mistakesin-game. Ganun nanamin kakilala yungisat isa.

The 21-year-old acknowledgesthe potential ofthis Lady Spik-

ers squad to enter the recordbooks. The rare three-peat islooming for La Salle, when theylorded over the UAAP volleyballscene from 2004 in Season 66to 2006 in Season 68 with Mau-reen Penetrante, Desiree Her-nandez, and Chie Saet at thehelm.

Tiu saw all of this unfoldwhile she was still studying atNew Ormoc City National High

School.This squad is special be-

cause of the bonding we have,she said. We have already han-dled different experiences as agroup. We have already beenthere numerous times and we

would love to repeat it again.In fact, Coach Ramil de Je-

sus girls have been in the Finalsfor the last four years, with theonly blip coming in 2010 whenthey fell to the Angeli Tabaque-

ro-backed UST Tigresses.More than just a pretty face,Tiu, a transferee from De LaSalle - Dasmarias, has cededthe spotlight to teammates likeMichelle Gumabao, AbigailMarao, and sophomores AraGalang and Mika Reyes, whileracking up the scoreboards forthe Lady Spikers. She is cur-rently the sixth-best spiker inthe league, good for 20th over-all when it comes to points.

We believe we have a com-plete line-up and we believe wecan win it all again this year,she said.

This year, the Lady Spikersare looking to send Tiu andlibero Melissa Gohing to theircurtain call with their tiara in-tact, just as they did last year

with Charleen Cruz.We already have the adapt-

ability. We can compose our-selves whenever we face bigdeficits and we fight our way

back in the game, she said, be-fore La Salle clawed their wayback from a two-set hole intheir game with the Ateneo La-dy Eagles, giving them a shareof the number one seed at theend of the first round.

Albert Einstein once said,Try not to be a man of suc-

cess, but rather to be a man ofval ue. Tiu is jus t doi ng tha t,helping her team in her littleown way while enjoying a low

MIDDLE BLOCKERDindin Santiago

AUGUST DELA CRUZ

NUS SANTIAGO, ATENEOS TAJIMA

Delivering the goodsBy Randolph B. Leongson

HEIGHT is might, as they oftensay in sports. And thats whatAteneos Mary Mae Tajima and

National Universitys Aleona DeniseDindin Santiago hope to bring fortheir teams in the UAAP womens vol-leyball tournament.

The 6-foot Tajima and the 6-foot-2 Santiago,though, know that they should deliver more than

just intimidation on court.It helps (that I am tall), but we can balance it

with the speed that we have, said Tajima, an 18-year-old middle blocker.

As a Lady Eagle, she doesnt really have to rackup the numbers for her squad, given that she has

the luxury of playing with the core of AlyssaValdez, Fille Cainglet, Gretchen Ho, and AngelineGervacio whenever they need points.

My teammates encourage me to do the block-ing, to man our defensive frontline, Tajima said,citing that defense is what coach Roger Gorayeb iscounting her for.

But for Santiago, the assumption of having atall player on a team is two-pronged.

Being a tall player makes you stand out in ateam where almost all of the players are at 5-foot-8, or 5-foot-9, the Lady Bulldogs middle blockersaid. But only a number of tall players are able toreceive, defend, and do the other things which are

valuable for their teams success.And that success is what NU are currently reap-

ing. Behind Santiago and mainstays Myra Pabloand Cai Nepomuceno, the Lady Bulldogs are cur-rently in contention for a spot in the Final Four.

The height really helps more on the offensiveend, she said.

The 19-year-old Santiago is the leagues second-best scorer, just behind Ateneos Valdez, with a

vast majority of her points coming from spikes.But for the two ladies, they believe that players

who love volleyball but are not blessed with theheight they enjoy should remain unfazed.

They should never down themselves for notbeing tall, but rather they should try and try if

they really want to play volleyball, said Santia-go, a former UST high school standout. Theyshould always have that focus and train hard

when it comes to practices.Tajima adds, If they really have the pas-

sion for playing volleyball, its their love forthe game which would drive them. They

dont need to be tall to be successful in playingvolleyball. They should just enjoy playing thegame.

Beware of the Red spikersBy Alexx Esponga

WHENEVER the San BedaCollege Red and LadySpikers take foot on the

court, they act like its their territo-ry and whoever crosses the board-er line will be eaten alive.

The deafening silence will be replacedwith thundering roars and as soon as thewhistle blows, Captain Lorenzo Capate andsenior Janine Marciano would charge with-out holding anything back and show nomercy to their preys to lead the Lions tosupremacy and prove that they are still theKings and Queens of the Jungle.

Both the Red and Lady Spikers sealedlast years NCAA Volleyball tournament

with disappointment written all over theirfaces as they failed to reach the pinnacle,ending the season as 3rd placers while thegirls of coach Ryan Sucaldito tied with theLyceum of the Philippines University LadyPirates with a 5-4 record.

Last season was my worst experience inthe league, said the 56 Marciano. Na-feel ko na nag-expect sa amin ang mga taoat yung team ko sa akin pero hindi naminnapatunayan kung ano ba yung kayanamin talaga.

On the other hand, the Red Spikers,

who have been gunning for their first-everNCAA Mens Volleyball title in almost fivedecades, are very optimistic that this willbe the Lions year. With an immaculaterecord of 6-0, the Red Spikers are confi-dent that they will be taking home the ba-con this time.

Kahit maganda ang record namin ngayon,kailangan pa rin namin mag-trabaho ng masmatindi, quipped the fourth year skipper Ca-
