00:00 Good morning, Kapuso! Welcome back to Pinoy MD,

00:03 the Philippines' most trusted health and medical program.

00:06 And of course, we're joined by the doctors of the country

00:09 who have been with us for 13 years when it comes to our health.

00:13 No one else but Dr. Raul Quillamor, our obstetrician-gynecologist.

00:19 Good morning, Doc!

00:20 Good morning, Connie! Good morning, Doc Oye!

00:23 To our Kapuso, good morning to all of you!

00:26 Yes, and of course, we're also joined by Dr. Oye Balburias,

00:30 our certified health and wellness doctor.

00:33 Good morning!

00:34 Yes, good morning, Connie! Good morning, Doc Q!

00:36 And of course, good morning to our Kapuso!

00:38 Thank you for your 13 years of support to Pinoy MD.

00:42 In the flesh, hold it.

00:44 There, it's true.

00:46 But I'm happy that we're here in the flesh, together, right?

00:52 Although, unfortunately, our resident dermatologist, Dr. Jean Marquez,

00:57 won't be with us today.

00:58 But you're doing great, Dr. Jean.

01:00 Meanwhile, in the past decade or so,

01:04 our doctors of the country have been

01:06 listening to your questions about our questions for health.

01:11 So, here we go!

01:13 We'll start with the questions you sent to Doc Q and of course, to Doc Oye.

01:18 Alright, here's the first question for you, Doc Q.

01:21 Ready?

01:22 Can a pregnant woman who has high blood pressure

01:27 take a maintenance medication?

01:29 A woman who has high blood pressure

01:32 and is taking maintenance medications

01:34 can be pregnant

01:36 as long as the medication given to her is safe for pregnancy.

01:39 Because there are medications that a pregnant woman can take.

01:43 So, if the medication she's taking before she got pregnant

01:46 cannot be taken during pregnancy,

01:48 the doctor will replace it with a medication that is appropriate and safe for her pregnancy.

01:54 So, there's nothing wrong with it.

01:56 Jenny Dizon asked this question.

01:58 Hi, Jenny!

01:59 So, it's not bad if the doctor has supervision.

02:04 There are safe medications for blood pressure in pregnant women.

02:08 There.

02:09 Alright, and of course, for Doc Oye,

02:11 here's the question for you.

02:12 Is it dangerous if a person has anemia?

02:15 And what are the benefits of having anemia?

02:19 This is from Abu Hiban.

02:21 Hi, Abu!

02:22 Here's the answer.

02:23 Yes, Abu, it's dangerous to have anemia,

02:27 especially if it's very low.

02:29 Because it can compromise various organs of our body,

02:33 especially our heart.

02:35 In fact, it will cause many symptoms

02:38 if the blood pressure is too low.

02:41 One sign of anemia is iron deficiency.

02:44 So, if it's iron deficiency, anemia is the cause of anemia.

02:48 There are many foods that you can eat that are rich in iron,

02:52 like animal foods, red meat,

02:56 beef or chicken.

02:58 The same goes for foods from plants,

03:01 like green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables,

03:05 like spinach,

03:07 malunggay,

03:09 petchay.

03:10 All green vegetables are rich in iron.

03:13 Nuts, legumes, or beans are also good.

03:17 Tofu, from soy, is also rich in iron.

03:20 Grains, like quinoa, are also high in iron and fiber.

03:24 So, those are the foods you can eat

03:26 to increase your blood pressure,

03:28 especially if it's iron deficiency anemia.

03:32 Thank you so much, Dr. Q,

03:34 and of course, Dr. Oye,

03:35 for answering that question.

03:37 And of course, for our loyal Pinoy MD viewers

03:43 who have trusted us for the past 13 years.

03:46 Thank you.

03:47 Keep those questions coming.

03:48 And if you still have questions,

03:50 don't forget to send them to our official Facebook page.

03:54 And we're back here at Pinoy MD,

03:56 the program you've been waiting for,

03:58 "Usaping Pangkalusugan."

04:00 And we're still here with our two outstanding doctors,

04:05 Dr. Q and Dr. Oye.

04:07 Alright, and speaking of health,

04:09 you know that the World Bank has data

04:13 that the average life expectancy of Filipinos

04:16 is only 71 years old.

04:18 Is that true?

04:19 That's a bit low.

04:20 But I read, Oye,

04:23 that women have a longer lifespan

04:26 compared to men.

04:28 So, that's also true.

04:29 We're the ones who are giving you the consummation.

04:32 Just kidding.

04:33 We're the ones who are consuming.

04:35 But you know, Connie,

04:36 we should also know that

04:39 the lifespan is different from the health span.

04:42 Because the lifespan is the number of years

04:47 that we live in the world.

04:51 But the health span is the number of years

04:54 that you're healthy, active, strong, and functional.

05:00 And of course, the health span, my dear,

05:03 is affected by our daily decisions

05:06 about our food, our sleep, and our lifestyle.

05:11 So, the health span is smaller

05:13 if all of these are compromises.

05:16 A lot of people can grow old

05:18 if they're healthy and happy.

05:21 That's our reality.

05:23 So, our goal should not only be to live long,

05:28 but to live with quality,

05:31 and to be active and healthy.

05:33 Yes, quality.
