00:00 Our health is our priority.
00:02 That's why here at Pinoy MD,
00:04 we'll answer your questions for health.
00:06 Nurse Abby is the nurse of the town.
00:08 Where is Judy this morning to deliver a health service?
00:13 Oh, Pinoy MD.
00:15 Nurse Abby, where are you now?
00:17 Good morning, Pinoy MD.
00:24 I'm your nurse of the town.
00:27 Nurse Abby, always on duty.
00:29 Do you have a question for Doc?
00:31 Don't worry.
00:32 Just ask for health.
00:34 Doc will answer it for you.
00:36 Next stop is Nurse Abby in Quiapo, Manila.
00:41 But aside from food trip,
00:45 her mission is to provide a real aid to our fellow citizens there.
00:49 Have you eaten yet?
00:51 If not, that's perfect.
00:53 Because now, we're here in Quiapo, Manila.
00:57 But this is not just a food trip.
01:00 They say, "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
01:04 That's why we'll be treating people in the kitchen
01:08 to our food trip.
01:10 Let's go!
01:12 On this street in Quiapo,
01:14 you'll find a restaurant owned by Jennifer
01:18 for two decades.
01:20 What's your specialty?
01:23 Food or cooking?
01:25 I have everything.
01:26 I have chicken, adobo, curry.
01:30 I have all kinds of chicken dishes.
01:32 And vegetables.
01:34 Ma'am, what time does the restaurant open?
01:39 Around 5.
01:42 5 am?
01:43 And what time do you close?
01:45 We close at 24 hours.
01:47 24 hours?
01:48 You have a shop at night?
01:50 What time do you sleep?
01:52 If it's 24 hours?
01:53 12.
01:55 Jennifer's mother is very brave.
01:57 At 63 years old, she gets tired easily.
02:01 I get dizzy easily.
02:03 When I'm really tired, I get dizzy.
02:06 I have high blood pressure.
02:08 Oh, you have high blood pressure.
02:10 I'm diabetic.
02:11 Oh, my!
02:12 I have high cholesterol.
02:14 What's your diet?
02:16 How do you eat in a day?
02:18 How many cups of rice do you eat?
02:21 Before, I used to eat half a cup.
02:23 Now, I eat more.
02:25 I eat 1 and half.
02:27 If I eat more, I eat 2 cups.
02:29 Because Jennifer's mother gets tired easily,
02:33 we will check on her.
02:35 You're 130-180 cm.
02:37 Not bad, not bad.
02:38 You're a bit elevated.
02:39 But since you're maintaining, it's good that you're following.
02:44 Okay, good.
02:45 But ma'am, you should rest.
02:48 I know you're hardworking, but enjoy.
02:52 Don't get too tired.
02:55 That's why the question asked by Doc was asked by our nurse.
03:00 Doc, is it true that because of age, people get tired easily?
03:05 Of course, our body, our organs, especially our heart,
03:10 while we're aging, it can get tired.
03:13 But we can slow down the aging or the tiredness of our heart.
03:20 Number one, of course, let's look at the control of our pressure.
03:24 If the blood pressure is high, it can cause a lot of resistance in our heart.
03:30 The more we stretch it,
03:33 the point will reach the limit of its stretch.
03:38 And that will be the reason why you will manifest failure symptoms.
03:44 Okay, this is given by PMD.
03:47 Thank you very much, ma'am.
03:49 This is a first aid kit, ma'am.
03:51 So, there's a...
03:52 For example, if you're going to get hurt, you always get a cut, right, ma'am?
03:56 There's also a paracetamol, a friendship pill.
03:59 So, this is for you, ma'am.
04:01 They say that if there's a smoke, someone will cook.
04:07 Just like this food,
04:09 the food that's smoking is a bomb.
04:12 But one of the enemies of the stalls here is the smoke.
04:18 This is the smoke.
04:19 If the food is just for the sake of fighting,
04:23 there's a fight for the food of the stall of Ms. Hamida.
04:26 Aside from the cooked food, she also has a grilled food stall.
04:31 So, for a whole day, how long do you grill?
04:36 So, for a whole day, because sometimes we start grilling at 2 p.m.
04:40 until 12 p.m.
04:43 Oh, that's how late?
04:45 Don't you find it hard?
04:47 Because you're always exposed to smoke here,
04:49 not just in cooking, but also in the stalls.
04:52 Sometimes, when I'm exposed to smoke,
04:56 I feel like my breathing is not okay.
05:01 And then, sometimes, when the sun is hot, I get tired.
05:05 Sometimes, I get dizzy.
05:06 Nurse Abby, ask Doc Hamida the question.
05:12 Doc, is it true that the frequent exposure to smoke causes a person to get TB?
05:18 Tuberculosis is a contagious disease.
05:22 It's not caused by environmental toxins like smoke.
05:27 It's just a coincidence because when you're exposed to smoke or pollutants,
05:33 the resistance of your lungs will definitely weaken.
05:36 If your resistance weakens, then our immune system will overcome it
05:42 and we can get TB.
05:47 It's good that there's proper ventilation in the area.
05:51 Because they cook, it's like they're playing with fire.
05:56 That's why they don't have to change their clothes, just like Ma'am Aya.
06:02 So, let's go and check on her.
06:04 [music]
06:06 Aya, who is 39 years old,
06:11 often gets TB when she's eating hot food.
06:15 What did we do when you got TB?
06:18 Nothing. I just put ice.
06:23 Just ice?
06:24 Yes, just ice.
06:25 So, you put ice in your food?
06:27 Yes, ice.
06:28 Ah, okay.
06:29 Is that what you usually do when you get TB?
06:32 Yes, that's it.
06:33 I just put ice in my food.
06:35 So, the heat will be gone.
06:38 You don't put any ointment or anything?
06:41 No.
06:42 Doc, is it true that one of the best solutions for getting TB is ice?
06:49 It can be cold temperature or much better if you got TB,
06:54 what you should do immediately is to put it in running water.
06:58 Aside from it will have a cooling effect,
07:01 at the same time, if there's a microbe, we can still clean it.
07:06 So, it will also prevent contamination when you got a wound.
07:11 Nurse Abby is always well and has a good health tip and a first aid kit.
07:17 The experts advise to wash the part that got in the running water.
07:22 Then, apply a burnt ointment.
07:25 It can also help to reduce the number one, the disease,
07:30 at the same time, it can also be cured easily.
07:33 Cooking is not a joke.
07:35 It's a daily routine.
07:37 That's the daily sacrifice of 37 years old Joselito.
07:42 Mix this, mix that.
07:45 Even though the work is hard,
07:48 19 years passed in a meal of Joselito.
07:53 But this is the usual pain of his problems.
07:58 Let's go and let's check him out.
08:00 Sir, what do you do in a whole day?
08:04 Because you wake up at 1.30 a.m. and you're always in the kitchen.
08:10 Because you can't sit, you always have to keep your work.
08:15 Because you can't sit for a long time because you might get a stomach ache.
08:20 Then, sir, you told me that you have a pain.
08:24 Is the pain tolerable or is it really painful and is it recurrent?
08:31 Meaning, it's repeated?
08:32 You really have to endure the pain.
08:34 Sometimes, I apply the amigas.
08:39 Sometimes, it's okay but later, the pain will come back.
08:45 Doc, is it true that the most common pain is the joint pain?
08:51 Supposedly, when we are standing, there are valves that move.
08:59 So that the blood flow will not be affected by gravity when we stand.
09:05 These valves, especially in our veins, can be defective.
09:11 Especially when we are always standing.
09:14 So, avoid lifting heavy objects aside from avoiding standing for a long time or walking for a long time.
09:23 Ms. Joselito, let's remember the advice of Doc Oye.
09:27 For you, the Pabahong Pinoy MDE First Aid Kit.
09:30 It can help you because you're in the kitchen.
09:34 We can't avoid minor accidents, cuts, and medical issues.
09:39 It can help you.
09:43 Remember, even if we are eating all day,
09:46 take a rest when you have time.
09:49 And always take care of your body and your health.
09:53 Kapinoy MD, just ask and the health service will answer your question.
10:00 Until my next duty, maybe you will be the one I visit.
10:05 Until then, don't miss out and comment on our social media page the place you want us to visit.
10:14 Again, I am Nurse Abby, always on duty for Pinoy MD.
