Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yes, we’ve read it over and over again but still many of us fail to apply it. Maybe because we either wake up too early or we wake up too late in the day that we skip our breakfast and eat what we call “brunch”. It’s because of this attitude that most kids and even adults are either undernourished or overweight. According to the Department of Science and Technology – Food and Nutrition Research Institute ) DOST-FNRI), 6 out of 10 Filipino households suffer from...

When do you usually give vitamins to your kids? Some moms give vitamins during the morning, some in the afternoon, and some after dinner. Which do you think will be the best time though? For bigger kids like mine, giving them their supplements on proper time is essential to sustain their hectic activity in school and keep them energetic throughout the day. In my experience accompanied with some research, the best time of day to give vitamins will be in the morning after they have eaten their breakfast. 1. Breakfast is the most convenient...
This year and in the years forward, being active and healthy are just two of the most important goals which we should strive for. I know I’ve gained a lot of weight lately and I admit that I have not been the best role model for my kids.

So I’ve started this year by sharing a FREE printable monthly health calendar filled with daily tips to keep us conscious of our bodies and physical activities. You won’t need another mom at your...
Year 2015 is almost over and our journey to a perfect smile for my eldest daughter is also in its final stage. And because we were very grateful to Dr. Urbi and Green Apple Dental Clinic who introduced us to Myobrace, a painless way of having my daughter’s teeth fixed, I thought a pre-2016 post will just be worth it. After 15 months of wearing Myobrace and monthly dental check ups, you won’t even know that Maristel already wore her first braces. The results of the appliance she wore almost the whole duration of the program...
I know different moms have different views about multivitamins or vitamin supplements. For me, one of my standing point for continuously giving my daughters Nutri10Plus Syrup is investing for health. A bottle of Nutri10Plus only costs P160 (currently) when you buy a 120 ml from Mercury Drug. A bottle lasts a week which is being consumed by my 2 girls. Next year I have to find a more matured vitamin brand for my eldest since Nutri10Plus is only for 1-12 year old kids. Imagine the cost of having the kids being sent to their pediatrician...
It’s the beginning of December and everyone and everything seems to be in a hurry. Personally, I feel that time just slips away and I still have tons of things to do. But these stressed feelings can be contagious and our kids will most often pick them from us. So much so that I don’t want them to feel anxious like I do, they will also have so many things to do in school (quizzes, periodical exams, christmas programs and parties to attend). What Happens When The Kids Are Stressed Out So how do we know when the kids may be feeling...
For a simple cook like me, simple means that I can only cook dishes with 5-7 ingredients max, knowing how to prepare flavorful AND healthy dishes at the same time, is a crucial need. I am the master of my kitchen and my husband and my kids are my greatest fans so I always want to make sure that when I cook, they will always love to eat what I’ve prepared. I can only do that when my dishes are “malasa” (flavorful). Nilagang Baka – one of the most favorite Pinoy ulam which I also love to cook at home. Umami brings...
