“THE HISTORY BEYOND THE ESTABLISHMENT”
This establishment is govern by politicians with a heart full of purity. Ampid
is a barangay in San Mateo. Most probably the famous General Geronimo
and his battalions in the “Battle of San Mateo” passed by this road. Andres
Bonifacio of the Katipunan could have traversed this same street on his
way to the caves of Montalban where he hid. Ampid came into existence
based on a legend which runs like this: It was a December, the season to
harverst palay during the American occupation the year of which is not
mentioned in the story, a big flood ravaged San Mateo.
Ampid is traversed by three rivers - as a result, after the water subsided,
several bundles of palay stalks were piled at a certain place in Ampid.
Incidentally, some Americans settlers asked the farmers collecting the
bundles, "What Place is this?" The farmers, not knowing what these
Americans were asking for, merely thought that they were asking them
what happened to the palay bundles and why were they all piled up there.
They courteously answered that the stalks of palay were NASAMPID
because of the flood.The Americans then thought that the farmers
answered them correctly that this place is AMPID. From them on, this
barrio was called AMPID.

Ways on how to prevent Nutrient
Deficiency and maintain a healthy body
1.Iron
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide and is far
more frequent in women. Instead, go natural; boost your iron levels
naturally by using spirulina as a supplement.You can also spike up your
iron levels by including diverse dietary sources in your daily meal.
2.Vitamin D
Vitamin D is responsible for enhancing the intestinal absorption of calcium
and other minerals. So unless you are a pregnant woman, an infant or
living where the sun barely shines, you may consider using another
“medicine” Sunlight. While there are no specific guidelines on sun
exposure, 10-15 minutes spent outdoors each day around noon should be
enough.
3. Calcium
Calcium is a mineral vital to the human body. It’s involved in bone
formation, muscular contractions, cardiovascular and neurovascular
health. To make sure you provide your body with the proper calcium
quantity, you should try to include calcium-rich foods in each meal.
4. Magnesium
Magnesium is a major player in numerous metabolic reactions and is
directly involved in controlling your electrolye level and cellular membrane
channels. To get more magnesium on your table and into your body, you
can eat nuts, leafy greens and fruits.
5. Vitamin B6
It is involved in the metabolism of amino-acids, glucose, lipids, hemoglobin
and even in gene expression. According to ARS, 1 in 4 Americans does not
meet the RDA on vitamin B6. Potatoes, chicken and legumes are good
sources of vitamin B6. Think about this: a single serving of hummus packs
about 50% of the RDA.
6. Folate
Folate is involved in DNA synthesis meaning that it’s the handyman that
deals with making, protecting, repairing the vital double helix. Natural
sources of folate include leafy greens, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, beans,
peas, avocado, papaya, banana, cantaloupe and others.
7. Vitamin B12
It’s a key player in the normal functioning of the brain, blood formation and
DNA synthesis and regulation. If you don’t consume animal products at all
and you avoid processed foods (some are B12 fortified) you must seriously
consider supplementation, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms.
8. Vitamin C
The humble vitamin C, aka ascorbic acid, is vital to collagen production.
it’s found in great amounts in other vegetables as well: bell peppers,
broccoli, berries, kiwis are all great sources of vitamin c.
9.Potassium
Potassium is of crucial importance to the proper functioning of all cells,
tissue and organs in your body. To make sure you’re getting enough of it,
fill your kitchen with leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, citrus fruits,
bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes and molasses.
10.Fiber
Adequate fiber is needed for healthy cholesterol levels, reduced colon
cancer risk and weight control. Good sources of Fiber include vegetables,
