Coffee and Cayenne Pepper

Image
Per my dietitian's recommendation, I just tried cayenne with my coffee. I might've sprinkled a bit too much cayenne. LOL. But like Cathy Weaver in the video, coffee is part of my daily routine -- a requirement. Why add cayenne pepper to coffee? Metabolism boost The capsaicin in cayenne pepper can increase fat oxidation and reduce appetite.  Flavor Cayenne pepper adds a unique flavor to coffee, with notes of smokiness, sweetness, and fresh red pepper.  Antioxidants Cayenne peppers are a great source of antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage and fight aging. Health benefits Cayenne pepper may also help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and treat colds.  Allergies Some people with allergies or sinus problems find that cayenne pepper helps. Cheers!

Fighting For Recognition - #HappyVeteransDay #FilipinoVeterans

Cenon Audencial was a guerilla with the Philippine Resistance Movement turned second lieutenant in the U.S. Armed Forces in the Far East in the early 1940s. Like many of the 260,000 Filipinos who fought and served under and alongside the U.S. military during World War II, Audencial may never be recognized for his war efforts because of lost documentation. Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces (who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable). In 1946 after World War II concluded, President Harry S. Truman signed the Rescission Act, which provided Filipino soldiers would be stripped of their statuses as U.S veterans, effectively denying them their rightful benefits. It was one of the greatest injustices in U.S history. In 1946 after World War II concluded, President Harry S. Truman signed the Rescission Act, which pr...

Immigration Help: Why is my case taking so long at USCIS?

US Immigration TV: WHY IS MY CASE TAKING SO LONG AT USCIS? HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO SPEED UP YOUR CASE! It can be extremely frustrating about how long it takes USCIS to process petitions, extensions, work authorizations, adjustment of status, and applications. What’s going on? Why is it taking so long? What can be done by petitioners, beneficiaries, and applicants who are eligible for various immigration benefits, but it is taking so long to get USCIS to approve their case? Watch this video up to the end for the answers. Received this in on my FILIPINO IN DALY CITY Facebook Page: "My wife and I need immigration advice/help in Daly City." As I've advised family and friends, for the most part, I've moved away from Facebook. I'm pretty much there to wish folks 'Happy Birthday' or condolences. So if you want to carry out a conversation, let's carry it out in the COMMENTS section. Salamat po!
