I have very good reasons why I buy vitamin supplements for my daughters. I know that I even if I do my best as a mom to provide the most complete meals, I will still miss some of the essential vitamins the kids need daily. And there are several reasons why that happen, so I really don’t put all the blame to myself for that. 1. Sometimes, they really don’t like to eat or they have poor appetite. Ayaw ko ng pilitan as much as I don’t want people forcing me to eat if I am not in the mood. 2. There are times when they need...
I was obliged to write this post hoping to inspire moms not to forget the importance of going out and taking in at least 5-15 minutes of morning sunshine daily. I can attest to this because I myself needed enough sunlight to battle against my mild psoriasis. I had been neglecting being outside of the house lately and so, when my psoriasis flared up, my skin wasn’t able to withstand. My face was red and flaking for several days. Though people who have similar skin deficiencies like me are advised against too much sun, phototherapy...
I’ve heard of several people, some closed to us, who have passed away because of hypertension. This All Soul’s Day, as we remember our loved ones, I thought might as well give some tips to prolong our lives. After all, we moms surely wish that we will live long enough to see our grand kids. Good health starts at home, specifically in the kitchen. I found out that most of the vegetables which can help us lower cholesterol and prevent hypertension can be easily be sourced from our local markets. Most of them we can use as staple...
I will never forget Vicks Vaporub because it had been part of my childhood. I remember how my lola used to put Vicks ointment over my chest and on my back when I couldn’t sleep due to colds. We always have a tiny bottle of Vicks available inside the cabinet so I can just put some on my nostrils whenever I couldn’t breathe. I also remember the Vicks candies, the small green triangular (if I am not mistaken) menthol candies that I used to buy in sari-sari stores when I was still a kid. Until these days, we have Vicks in our...
Absent ba lagi ang anak nyo sa school? Try giving them a serving of pineapple a day. Yes, actually, a clinical study was held recently to check the effects of canned pineapples as immunity booster. For 9 weeks, a group of 98 students from Paco, Manila were chosen to participate in a case study where a number of them were not given any canned pineapples and compared them to the rest who were given Del Monte Pineapple tidbits. After the test, those students who ate pineapples showed increased resistance to disease and infection. Good news...
Purple is a happy color, and August 8 was a purple day indeed as we attended Rebisco’s launch of Vitacubes, sugary cubes filled with vitamins. The event was held at Fun Ranch and my youngest Mariel, with her smile as you can see in most of our photos, I am certain she had a good time. Vita Cubes Vita Cubes is quite unique because I’ve never seen a sweet treat made for kids which is incorporated with vitamins. Each cube contains Lysine, Zinc, Vitamins A-C, and E. They also have these fun colors which make it seems just like...
