Health Tips From Our Medical Flight Crew: Take Care Of Your Heart

We have had numerous cases of patients with heart diseases all over the country flown from either homes or the hospital and brought to medical facilities of their choice in Manila. This is one of the reasons why we haven't updated our blog lately. We have been very busy saving lives.


The numbers are growing in the Philippines and is the leading cause of death. Last month alone, we have conducted 17 medical evacuation missions for heart-related cases thus; we at Airgurus Ltd. Co., can't help but be concerned and give some friendly advise to our followers here and on Facebook on how to take good care of your heart:

1. Stop smoking or use tobacco
In a country where we do not really have strict banning of cigarettes, smoking or using tobacco is found to be one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease. The chemicals in tobacco damages heart and blood vessels leading to narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis can ultimately lead to a heart attack. When it comes to heart disease prevention, no amount of smoking is safe. Smokeless tobacco and low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes also are risky, as is exposure to secondhand smoke. Social smokers are not even spared.

2. Exercising for 30 Minutes a Day
A regular, daily exercise can reduce your risk of fatal heart disease. Combining physical activity with other lifestyle measures is always of great help.  Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress, which may be a factor in heart disease. Swimming is one of the best and highly recommended on exercises.

3. Eating a hearty but healthy diet
Eating foods that are low in fat, cholesterol and salt is a good start. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products can help protect your heart. Beans, other low-fat sources of protein and certain types of fish also can also reduce risk of heart diseases. Limiting certain fats consumption also is important.
Heart-healthy eating isn't all about cutting back. Most people need to add more fruits and vegetables to their die with a goal of five to 10 servings a day. So eat a lot of fruits! Eating that many fruits and vegetables can not only help prevent heart disease, but also may help prevent cancer. On decreasing risks of heart attack, some fish like salmon and mackerel are good natural sources of Omega-3 fatty acid (a type of polyunsaturated fat).


Since it's still the love month, we encourage you to love... love yourself and please take care of your heart. Should you or your loved ones need us though in crucial times and would require an air ambulance helicopter for transporting you to the nearest and apt medical facility, contact our 24/7 hotlines +632 781 2707 | +632 781 0787 | +63 920 955 0897 | +63 908 888 6829 and +63 917 596 6288.

Mocha Girls' Orgasmic Helicopter Ride Via Airgurus

The Mocha Girls were invited to perform on the first night of Ad Congress held in Camsur, Philippines, specifically at the Governor's Ball and had some flight dilemmas that the organizers thought the girls wouldn't be able to make it to the performance.


What happened was... three of the members of Mocha Girls were booked via a commercial airline while the others went through the other airline which left on time. When Mocha and the 2 other members arrived at the airport, they had problems with uncoordinated boarding and check-in and sooner, they found out that the airplane has already taken off. The girls were stuck in Manila as it was the last flight going to Camsur for that day.



It was 4pm and they were scheduled to perform at Governor's Ball by 10pm. They struggled to find means and ways to get to Camsur on time. They thought of traveling by land however, it would take them 8-10 hours to get there which means they wouldn't be able to make it to their scheduled performance.


Sad and desperate for Mocha Girls were known to be professional performers and they never missed shows, Mocha Unson talked to their manager to look for a helicopter. Their manager got to call Capt. Harry Lero, the President and CEO of Airgurus Ltd. Co. and their problem was solved. They were immediately flown to where Ad Congress was held.


The Mocha Girls got to Camsur way ahead of time. Through their blog, they narrated their "orgasmic" experience. Check out the video for their story about their helicopter ride via Airgurus at exactly 12:10.


Thank you, Mocha Girls for the love and support to Airgurus! Till your next flights with us!
