Friday Humor Go Ahead Have a Laugh!

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

Have you ever noticed that feeling of well-being after a good laugh? I have. I try to feel that way everyday.

What’s laughter?

humor-inspiration-dra-martha-castro-noriega

Sometimes when I’m riding my bike alone I make myself laugh remembering funny situations I might have experienced in the past. I laugh out loud, another cyclist might pass me by and notices I am having a good time. He laughs too and smiles. This happens pretty often, and I like it when people around me are happy too. It’s just right!

I have my own AC unit. Just in case! 🤣

Motivation Tuesday: Never Stop Living!

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

These real, everyday people inspire me. Not the Lance Armetrongs, not the Serena Wiliams, not the Donald Trumps. People like you and me who live, love, work, think, help others, study, protect and fight for our loved ones. You and me. Maybe different in the outside, maybe different in our beleifs, our culture, race, but the same fighting hearts, the same wonders about life and questions about death.

Feranmi Okanlami, now a medical doctor, became partially paralyzed after an accident in 2013. He says adjustments for his disability during his training, like this standing in frame chair, helped him succeed. A new report finds variability in medical institution culture and protocols when it comes to supporting aspiring doctors with disabilities.

Macadamia Nut Oil Beauty and It’s 5 Most Important Benefits

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

#Beauty #Health #Health #

Macadamia Oil

Approximately 80% monounsaturated fatty acids of which about 50% is oleic acid and 20% palmitoleic acid, vitamins A, B, E, minerals. Macadamia nut: about 70% fat, vitamin B, calcium, iron, phosphorus.

1. BENEFITS ON THE SKIN

Great for signs of aging skin. One of the antioxidants is squalene. It is rare and has a particularly strong impact on our skin. Squalene is a naturally occurring antioxidant in our body, but adding more through this nut oil can help reduce oxidative stress on the body’s fats and the skin.

2. ENERGY LEVELS

This nut-oil gives you a quick boost of energy to the body, something which the oil can also provide.

3. STRENGTHENS THE HAIR

This oil penetrates hair more efficiently than some other oils, like mineral oil. Mineral oil can build up on your scalp.

4. RETAINS HEALTHY FATS

Although this isn’t a definitive health benefit, this Australian nut oil has a higher smoke point than other vegetable oils, like olive oil. Therefore, when you’re cooking with it, you are far less likely to burn off the beneficial fats, which are the main reason why you are using the oil in the first place.

5. GREAT FOR COOKING

It is excellent for cooking because of its high smoke point of over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It is typically higher than olive oil. This is important, because when oil begins to burn, it denatures and loses many of its health benefits, possibly become carcinogenic.

What is Your Purpose to Live?

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS
purpose life dra martha castro tijuana mexico california america

Don’t hold yourself back. Embrace your light. Seek your life’s mission. Live your purpose and your life will be full of meaning and joy.
Your purpose, your life’s mission, your calling, whatever words you give it, as long as you’re alive, you have one, and as long as you have one, you might as well pull it out, put it on, and let it shine.

purpose life dra martha castro tijuana mexico california america

What is YOUR Purpose? What gives your life meaning? If you’re not sure yet, then good for you! You get to discover it! (Exciting, isn’t it?) Ask yourself the following questions:

1) What gives my life the most meaning?

2) What is my passion? What gets me out of bed each day?

3) What do I feel most “at home” doing?

4) What are my strengths/weaknesses? What do these tell me about my purpose?

5) If I have a sense of my purpose, am I actively seeking to engage in it? If not, what is holding me back or standing in my way?

purpose life dra martha castro tijuana mexico california america

“Finding your purpose” is more than just a cliche or a dream that will never be fulfilled. It’s actually a tool for a better, happier, healthier life that too few people attempt to use.
I know firsthand that nothing else matters if you aren’t following your soul’s purpose. Once you’ve found it, you can align all areas of your life to point in that direction. It is possible to do what you love and live in flow — you just need the right motivation and mindset, and to take the right action.

Remembering Happy Travel to South Korea Biz in 2018

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

REMEMBERING AN AWESOME TRAVELING TIME!

 

I love to travel a lot and I am a well versed traveler but this is my first time in South Korea for business and fun. And since the Winter Olympics are happening in this country our family decided for us to stay three days at the Conrad Hotel in Seoul and then go to Pyongyang for the finals. So, so long Seoul, hello Pyeongchang!

 

NOTE:

 

It was very hard to track down accommodations close to these mountain events but we did it with anticipation though, we learned our lesson in Sochi 2014 where we stayed on a cruise ship near the coastal cluster and had to commute every day to watch my events. The way the security was set up most of the mountain based accommodations would have been difficult to get to without a car. We planned better this time.

 

SE SOUVENIR DE LA CORÉE DU SUD

 

Busan en Corée du Sud est la seconde plus grande ville du pays. Très souvent, visiter Busan est une étape incontournable lors d’un voyage en Corée du Sud.

Ville portuaire située au sud de la péninsule coréenne, la ville est assez étendue et dispose de plusieurs points d’intérêt touristiques au sein même de la ville ou en bordure. En effet, pour visiter Busan correctement, il faut compter au moins 2 jours.

 

Dans ce billet consacré à Busan en Corée du Sud, je vous donne mes conseils pour préparer votre visite de la ville et savoir quoi faire à Busan.

Longevity: Want to Live Forever?

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

I am very active in my LINKEDIN account. I just published my latest medical article there and want to share it here:

Cyclist Frenchman Robert Marchand set a new world record when he cycled 22.547 kilometers (about 14 miles) in an hour — at the age of 105. «I am not here to be champion. I am here to prove that at 105 years old you can still ride a bike,» Marchand said.

Longevity is associated to genetic factors, but a healthy attitude and lifestyle contribute greatly to your lifespan.

«The most difficult problem is to get enough old people, especially those aged 100 or more, to take part in such a study. Interestingly, the genetic effects are much more evident in 100-year-olds than in 95-year-olds», notes the first author of the report, Dr. Friederike Flachsbart of the Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology at Kiel University.
A research group in the Faculty of Medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel (CAU) has now confirmed this assumption by comparing DNA samples taken from 388 German centenarians with those from 731 younger people.

Previously, in September 2008, an American research team led by Bradley J. Willcox had published in PNAS a study that indicated a higher frequency of this genetic variation in long-lived Americans of Japanese origin (ages 95 and above). Professor Almut Nebel, the scientific leader of the «Research Group for Healthy Ageing» at Kiel, comments:

«That published result is only of scientific value if it can be confirmed in a study with an independently chosen sample population. Without that there must still remain a tinge of doubt. We have now eliminated that uncertainty about the connection between FOXO3A and longevity, both by our results from the German sample study and by the support from our French partners in Paris, whose research on French centenarians showed the same trend. This discovery is of particular importance as there are genetic differences between Japanese and European people. We can now conclude that this gene is probably important as a factor in longevity throughout the world.»
