A Brief Background

By Edward
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Gary Legaspi for inviting me to join this group and share our services to you.  Salamat po uli, sir!

To give you a brief background of our company, it was  during 1985 when my father, Engr. Jaime Camat, decided to put up his own construction firm after working for:

* Hydro Resources Contractors Corp. (Junior Project Engineer - Pantabangan Dam, '71-'72),
* Erectors Co. (Project Engineer - Central Bank Complex, '72-'73),
* D.A.Abcede Construction Management and Associates (VP Operations - SM Makati, Midland Plaza, Pacific Flour Mills Complex, office bldgs/condominiums/townhouses, '74-'79),
* Oriental Construction and Development Corp. (VP Operations - Mandarin Hotel, Silahis International Hotel, condominiums/restaurants/apartelles, '79-'82),
* and Decagon Construction and Development Corp. (VP Operations - Different branches of Max's Restaurant, high-end residential projects in Makati City, '83-'84)

From 1985 to present, he had worked with different architects and interior designers (some have already made names for themselves in their fields) which also gave us the chance to work for different type of clients, and that translates to more than a hundred projects (and hopefully more to come, God-willing..) under JCOC Builders and Engineering Services.

Aside from the residential projects (single-detached/townhouse/condo units), we've also done some shops, boutiques, restaurants, clubhouse, warehouses, offices, buildings and roads.  Recently, we're also fortunate to get a chance to do some projects under Ayala Land and SM for their post-construction works and interior fit-outs.

From time to time, i will be posting some of our past, on-going and upcoming projects here.  Thank you.

ANIMO!!!

The Mother of all Antioxidants

By Mike
Glutathione 

The Mother of All Antioxidants 

It's the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease -- yet you've probably never heard of it. It's the secret to prevent aging, cancer,heart disease, dementia, and more.

It is necessary to treat everything from autism to Alzheimer’s disease. There are more than 89,000 medical articles about it -- but your doctor doesn't know how to address the epidemic deficiency of this critical life-giving molecule . Now you can address it with Vitathione products.

The Importance of Glutathione in Protecting Against Chronic Illness 

Glutathione is critical for one simple reason: It recycles antioxidants. You see, dealing with free radicals is like holding and passing a hot potato. Free radicals get passed around from vitamin C to vitamin E to lipoic acid and then finally to glutathione which neutralizes the free radicals and recycles other antioxidants. After this happens, the body can "reduce" or regenerate another protective glutathione molecule and we are back in business.

However, problems occur when we are overwhelmed with too much oxidative stress or too many toxins. Then the glutathione becomes depleted and we can no longer protect ourselves against free radicals, infections, or cancer and we can't get rid of toxins. This leads to further sickness and soon we are in the downward spiral of chronic illness.

But that's not all. Glutathione is also critical in helping your immune system do its job of fighting infections and preventing cancer. That's why studies show that it can help in the treatment of AIDS. 

Glutathione is also the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system. All the toxins stick onto glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool -- and out of your body.

And lastly, it also helps us reach peak mental and physical function. Research has shown that raised glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.

If you are sick or old or are just not in peak shape, you likely have glutathione deficiency. In fact, the top British medical journal, the Lancet, found the highest glutathione levels in healthy young people, lower levels in healthy elderly, lower still in sick elderly and the lowest of all in the hospitalized elderly. 

Where can I get glutathione?

The simple answer is that our liver already produces it but as we age the glutathione levels in our bodies diminish rapidly.

We could also increase the consumption of food that boosts the production of our body's glutathione levels. 

Glutathione Diet List

First and foremost...a daily multi vitamin

Next in importance are the sulfur containing foods which include...

  • garlic
  • kale
  • onions
  • broccoli
  • kale
  • water cress
  • cabbage
  • asparagus
  • brussel sprouts

Dairy Products

  • unpasteurized milk (should be hormone and antibiotic free)
  • ricotta cheese
  • cottage cheese
  • yogurt
  • eggs
  • milk (decreased in pasteurized milk)
  • whey protein (bio active is the better form)

Grains

  • wheat germ
  • granola
  • oats
  • oat flakes

Meats

  • pork
  • sausage meat
  • chicken
  • turkey
  • duck

 

Note: the heat used to prepare any of the above foods is usually sufficient to destroy the cysteine. Therefor, the benefits would be minimal.

Fruits

  • Watermelon
But really, it's an uphill climb especially when there are other factors that rapidly deplete our glutathione levels.  In this hustle and bustle world of ours who has the time to eat a 100% totally healthy diet.  That's where supplementing with a good glutathione supplement can help.  But which one?

Before you go out to the local GNC or any health food store and buy a glutathione supplement by itself you need to know something important.  A lot of the companies out there that sell glutathione boosting products usually have glutathione only plus maybe a couple of other ingredients. 

 Here below is a supplement that contains 15 ingredients that far outweigh the competition.  My company has just released this in the market.

It is currently available at all Seafood City locations here in the United States.  We are also in the pre-launch stage and invite those who have the entrepreneurial spirit to become prospective agents or distributors to contact me here.  Vita Products USA has committed to donate 10% of the gross retail proceeds to the One La Salle Foundation.  To know more about the company and the products  just go to www.vita-productsusa.com.

We believe that age is just a number and we can look and feel good and defy the sands of time.  Aging is nothing.  Defy It!

Yours in St. La Salle,
Mike Pestano
Vita Products USA
