Practicing good oral hygiene has benefits that extend beyond having clean, strong teeth and gums. Such benefits include preventing bad breath, cavities and swollen and bleeding gums (gingivitis).

Pechay or Chinese cabbage (Pak Choi) is a cabbage. It is one of the most known vegetables in the Philippines. It is also known as one of the oldest green vegetables in Asia. The Pechay differs in many aspects from other cabbages.
It is often used in stews and soups. It isn’t tasty by itself, so it needs some salt and other flavour to be added. Meals with Pechay are often completed with other vegetables and fish or meat. In my version, I’ll make use of ground pork just to make it different.
They say that pechay or is a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin B. Decoction...
