Despite the pandemic, PH’s first Stevia grower-manufacturer is optimistic in their financial success

Despite over two years of the pandemic, Glorious, the country’s first Stevia company, is optimistic about its prospects. As more people seek healthier options, sales of stevia products continue to rise.

According to agribusiness finance giant Rabobank, Stevia’s sales are expected to hit $700 million worldwide in the next few years. Consumers in the Philippines can now get their calorie-free sugar needs from natural alternatives. Before, stevia was restricted to the health food market without any FDA approval. Recently, it is now widely used as a natural substitute for artificial sweeteners in many products.

“Stevia has been touted as a safe and healthy sugar substitute with proven health benefits. It can sweeten foods, and it has several health benefits, including decreased calorie intake, lower blood sugar levels, and less risk of cavities,” said Maura De Leon, the woman behind Glorious, the country’s first stevia grower and manufacturer.

While it has zero calories, stevia is 200 times sweeter than refined sugar and does not affect blood sugar. It is a popular option for people looking to lose weight but who want to reduce their sugar intake.

Stevia is an herb that has been grown in tropical climates for centuries. It is a small bushy plant that belongs to the sunflower family and grows in Paraguay and Brazil, but it can be quickly grown elsewhere. For centuries, the people of Paraguay add them to their foods as sweeteners, and countries like Korea, Brazil, China, Japan, and South America, have long used stevia.

Stevia products such as teas, juices, healthy coffees, chocolate beverages and natural sweeteners, manufactured by Glorious, are approved safe by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) even for people who have diabetes.

“Stevia is much sweeter than sugar, so you don’t have to add much. It’s good to note that the Philippines is also catching up on the use of this natural sweetener in various food preparations,” added De Leon.

Stevia is a natural sweetener taken from the leaves of a bushy shrub. The Stevia plant or (Stevia rebaudiana) has 150 species known to have originated from North and South America. Currently, it is produced by lots of countries, with China as the number one exporter of stevia products, and can be purchased at garden centers for home growing.

People who have diabetes can benefit from stevia. Choosing pure stevia extract can help maintain normal blood sugar levels and should be used in moderation. Stevia can also help cut down added sugar consumption, which can be beneficial for children. High sugar intake in children could lead to heart disease due to reconstructing triglyceride and cholesterol levels, contributing to children’s weight gain. Substituting added sugar for stevia can minimize these risks. At the same time, moderate consumption of foods with stevia and other sweeteners can prevent adverse side effects and promote overall health.

What’s even better is that you can add Stevia to make healthy desserts which are diabetic and keto friendly. This is great for people who have a sweet tooth but can’t indulge because of health restrictions.

Stevia, that has no calories, carbs, or glycemic index, is used in all Glorious Blend beverages, including the 3-in-1, 5-in-1, and 7-in-1 mixes. Throughout the day, all of their instant drinks will keep you attentive and energized.

Fatigue Management Techniques for a Healthy Blood and Immune System

Remaining in one position for an extended period of time is not suitable for social beings such as ourselves, humans. Migrating all of our things that we used to do outside of our home brought even more tension to an already stressful situation. You may have been experiencing fatigue as a result of the new standard way of living.

Fatigue is a persistent feeling of exhaustion, tiredness, or a lack of capacity for physical and/or mental tasks. It’s a symptom brought about by a slew of lifestyle, social, psychological, and overall well-being influences. Department of Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire stated the department’s concern in a Laging Handa public briefing, “After so many months of being quarantined, people feel restless; people feel anxious; they’re irritable.”  She said that people must build a coping strategy and embrace the fact that everything will not return to normal, and that they must begin to adjust to the new normal.

Changing your current lifestyle may seem more difficult than it is, but these four simple but successful coping mechanisms may be just what you need to maintain a balanced blood and immune system.

  1. Taking Short Walks/Light Exercises

It sounds counterintuitive to go on a walk or do light exercises when you’re already feeling tired for most of the day, but mobility is actually an important component in maintaining a healthy wellbeing as an adult.

Scientists found in a study that exercise boosts your energy level, increases strength and endurance. 3 Light exercises and short walks also stimulate the production of endorphins — the chemical that reduces pain and relieves stress. Not only does this improve your mobility, but it also boosts your immunity.

  1. Having the Right Amount of Sleep

Practicing a healthy sleeping schedule is vital so the body can recharge. 4Your body follows an “internal body clock” known as circadian rhythms which dictate your cycle of sleep, wakefulness, and alertness. This is influenced by external factors like long working hours, shift work, eating habits, and sleep deprivation. 5

It’s helpful to establish a bedtime routine to achieve the right amount of sleep. Simple cues like putting on pajamas, brushing your teeth, and reading a book helps the body adjust and learn that it’s time to sleep and drift off. Stimulants like caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, and gadgets should be avoided before bedtime. 6

6. “Sleep hygiene tips.” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/sleep_hygiene.html

The recommended amount of sleep for adults is at least seven hours and no more than eight hours. Try to limit the difference in your sleeping schedule so your body is consistent with its sleep-wake cycle. 7Your body is programmed to function through habits. By consistent efforts these can greatly help alleviate the feeling of fatigue.

  1. Cutting Down on Caffeine and Alcohol

Alcohol raises the body’s level of epinephrine, a stress hormone that generally stimulates the body, which can keep you up at night even when you’re supposed to rest. Your body might also urinate more than you usually do when you consume alcohol, which can disrupt your sleeping pattern. 8 Meanwhile for caffeinated drinks, it’s best to consume those with less to no sugar content. When sugar is processed by the body, it can cause a rapid rise in your blood sugar. The sudden spike and succeeding instant fall can make you feel exhausted and tired.9

Dietary changes are a necessary step to address fatigue since your body runs on the energy that you feed it. If you have a habit of consuming caffeinated drinks or alcohol, you might want to slow down to feel less fatigued.

  1. Take Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+)Your Health Blood Ally, With Proper Nutrition and Exercise

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in people who are experiencing iron deficiency anemia — which happens when the blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal. Itcauses the body to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. 10

When unnoticed, iron deficiency anemia can feel like nothing. But as time progresses, the body becomes more deficient of iron, putting immunity and blood health at stake — which intensifies the symptoms and signs of iron deficiency anemia.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body for those experiencing iron deficiency anemia. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helpin the metabolic processes of blood cell production. 11With proper nutrition, ample exercise, and by taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+), you can maintain immunity and keep your blood health at its peak.

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

The new normal has brought endless challenges and difficult hurdles. As advised by the DOH, we have to accept the reality of the new normal and incorporate healthy coping mechanisms for the security of our well being and immunity. Remember to keep your health in check and practice these coping techniques to lessen the possibility of experiencing fatigue. Keep your blood healthy through proper nutrition, exercise and take Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Glorious A Beneficial Coffee for your Health

Coffee had a dreadful reputation for decades. The Filipino habit of putting a lot of sugar and cream in one’s cup has been linked to high blood pressure, insomnia, and hyperacidity, as well as aggravated diabetes.

Although no one can refuse a Pinoy coffee drinker his morning cup, the level of sugar in commercial 3-in-1 coffee mixes is a cause for concern. One 20-gram sachet of the leading brand contains 14.6 grams of sugar. Consider how much sugar you’re consuming if you drink three cups of coffee a day on average.

What About Sugar-Free Coffee?

For health-conscious individuals, especially diabetics, turning to sugar-free coffee mixes seems to be the only option. This meant enduring tasteless cups of coffee just to satisfy their caffeine fix —until Stevia came along.

Stevia is the low calorie, zero sugar sweetener that tastes so much better than artificial sweeteners.

Stevia is an herb with a sweet-tasting extract that comes from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It has been enjoyed since pre-Columbian South America where indigenous people used the herb to sweeten their tea and other drinks.

The plant’s taste stems from steviol glycosides, molecules which are 250–300 times sweeter than regular sugar.

It became popular among health-conscious individuals because stevia has a very low caloric content. This makes it perfect for dieters and people who are trying to lose weight.

Moreover, Stevia makes coffee and tea taste so much better without adding any calories.

Aside from beverages, Stevia is also used as an alternative sweetener when cooking or baking.

The Health Advantages of Stevia

 

Stevia is a safe, healthy sugar substitute that can sweeten up food without the negative health effects of refined sugar. It’s also associated with several impressive benefits such as reduced calorie intake, managed blood sugar levels, and minimized risk of cavities.

Additionally, while other sugar substitutes like Aspartame have been linked with cancer, there’s no evidence linking stevia to cancer since it is a natural ingredient.

This means you can add stevia to dishes and drinks without fear that you’re taking too much sugar, or that you’ll get sick a few years down the road.

For coffee lovers, it’s also good to note that locally-made Glorious Blend coffees and instant beverages have Stevia as its natural sweetener. The blend of natural and healthful ingredients make the drink not only refreshing and safe, but also good for one’s overall health.

The Glorious Blend boasts a full line of healthy drinks, including a 7-in-1 healthy coffee mix. This special blend is made with proven medicinal ingredients like Malunggay, Mangosteen, Calcium, Gotu Kola, and sweetened with Sweet & Fit Stevia. What’s even better is that the Glorious Blend 7in1 Coffee is non-acidic and promotes regular bowel movement.

The Glorious line-up also includes the 3-in-1 coffee mix with Stevia; 7-in-1 choco mix; 4-in-1 coffee with Malunggay; 5-in-1 coffee mix with Brown Rice; and the MaxiTrim coffee.

All Glorious Blend beverages use Stevia which has no calories, no carbohydrates, and zero glycemic index. All of their instant drinks will keep you alert and energized throughout the day.

Glorious Blend products are also sourced and processed in the United States. Local farmers, stevia growers, and other agricultural communities are supported by their business. And, when you’ve been avoiding coffee due to health issues like diabetes or hyperacidity, Glorious Blend coffee mixes are here to help. You can indulge in the fragrance and taste of freshly brewed coffee all day long — guilt-free!

You can now drink coffee to improve your health! Isn’t it magnificent?

Calcium Cee is a daily necessity that nurtures and helps to protect the body with fortified double protection of vitamin C and calcium, two of the most potent nutrients for maintaining a strong and healthy body.

An immune booster and an effective aid against viral infections, vitamin C acts as a strong anti-oxidant that destroys free radicals that causes diseases. Since Calcium Cee is non-acidic and contains alkaline PH levels, it could be taken on an empty stomach and in large doses without the risk of irritation and diarrhea.

With the pandemic engulfing people’s lives, it’s never too late to take care of one’s body, no matter how old one is. “Everyone should start today because it’s important to strengthen our immune system if we are to survive and weather this global crisis. With discipline and prayers, I believe that the flattening of the dreaded curve is in the horizon and the day will come that we will all go back to our normal lives and it is important to stay and keep healthy until that day comes,” says a very hopeful Jessy.

Ito ang Dugong Pinoy! Three Moms Reveal how they Maintain their Blood Healthy to Boost Their Immunity

Filipinos, especially women, face numerous challenges in the year 2020. Many Filipinas have more on their plates than they can manage as a result of the stress and pressure of moving forward. Amidst this, women have continued to be the primary caregivers for their homes and children while also working full-time.

This begs the question: how do Filipina women keep their bodies in good shape for their families? We asked three Filipinas how they managed to balance their everyday tasks with taking care of their loved ones while also serving as a source of inspiration for other women.

Besides the usual chores and daily tasks, Mommy Jenica shares that she has been busy with her home-based business making cakes and baked goods. With a business that requires her to exert time and attention to detail being loaded with multiple orders, this leaves her exhausted. “’Yung pagod ka na pero mas napagod ka sa ligpitin. But thankfully I have my husband… to help me.” And yet she continues to struggle keeping her health in check since she took on more responsibilities in their household.

Mommy Anne on the other hand, found herself decluttering as her biggest and most fulfilling challenge on top of taking care of her family. She juggles her night shift full-time job and being a full-time mom during the day. “Sleep was something that was so scarce. Still is. And I’m definitely feeling the adverse impact to my health.”

While for Mommy Ria, due to the educational system shifting to homeschooling, she had to take initiative as her child’s teacher. “Preparing lessons and activities took my time and energy on top of the usual household chores and part time work.”

Like many Filipinas, they have a lot of tasks to do on the daily, which leads them to skip meals and overwork. According to Mommy Anne, the past year has led her to closely monitor her health, which many moms can relate to. With their careers and household responsibilities happening all at the same time, it’s easy to lose track of their immunity. How do they maintain their blood healthy? With the help of Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).

By eating nutritious meals, practicing regular exercise, getting proper sleep, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to help maintain their blood health and keep their immunity at its peak. Through these routines they’re able to keep up with their tight schedules and provide the care that their families need.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production.1

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

As a blood health ally of many Filipinas, Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps to treat iron deficiency anemia that can lead to decreased immunity and increased susceptibility to infection. Iron deficiency anemia happens when the blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal. This can cause the body to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. 2

As the year 2020 draws to a close, Filipinos look forward to the positive changes that the new year will bring, especially in terms of their family’s health. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps motivated women keep their blood health in order and their immunity at its highest level, so they can continue to provide the treatment that their families need while still completing their daily tasks.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Jessy Mendiola, a Calcium Cee Ambassador, reveals her tips for boosting immunity

While the country waits for the much-anticipated vaccine to help us battle COVID-19, Filipinos will improve their first line of defense, their immunity.

According to Jessy Mendiola, the newest ambassador of Calcium Cee, as she talks about her secrets to being fit and healthy in this time of pandemic. “Firstly, I try to combat the worries and the fears with a more positive mindset,” reveals the young 28-year-old actress. “I make sure to pray every day to nurture a sense of calm and remind myself of His love. And I try to keep myself fit and strong with the right exercise, proper nutrition, and, of course, my daily dose of Calcium Cee.”

Jessy acknowledges that the lockdown has forced her to make significant changes to her habits and that she has had to find new ways to remain safe. She remains healthy these days by doing more difficult exercises at home and a little weightlifting.

Apart from working out, Jessy claims that supplementing her balanced diet with vitamins is the key to keeping fit while on lockdown. She stated, “Calcium CEE is my choice of vitamin C because it offers double C protection. It has both vitamin C and calcium, which helps fortify my immune system and protects my body from diseases. Also, it helps keep me healthy, energetic, and protected throughout the day!”

Calcium Cee is a non-acidic supplement that incorporates the important benefits of two essential nutrients: calcium and vitamin C.

Calcium improves the circulatory system in addition to developing healthy bones and teeth to prevent osteoporosis. It assists in the contraction of blood vessels and muscles, as well as the transmission of signals through the nervous system and the secretion of hormones and enzymes in the body.

Calcium is efficient at addressing a variety of imbalances, including hormonal and mineral (phosphate and potassium) imbalances. Calcium, in particular, has been shown to help women lose weight and alleviate PMS symptoms such as bloating and mood swings.

Calcium has been shown to reduce the risk of kidney stones and colon cancer, among other health benefits.

Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a well-known antioxidant that protects the body from harmful free radicals. It also assists in the prevention of infections and the healing of wounds.

Jessy said, “What I like about Calcium Cee is that it is a non-acidic type of vitamin C, which makes it safe and gentle to take even on an empty stomach. “Plus, it offers the added perk of helping me look younger .  Calcium Cee also helps in achieving a more youthful-looking by boosting collagen formation, repairing key tissues, and easing stress, among other benefits.”

Calcium Cee uses a non-sodium ascorbate, which is a better source of the vitamin than most products on the market. This is in contrast to the vast majority of vitamin C formulations on the market today, which contain high levels of sodium and may induce water retention and hypertension.

“If you’re looking for a simple, safe, and gentle means to boost your immunity, try Calcium Cee,” Jessy suggest. “It provides two-for-one benefits of vitamin C and calcium in just one capsule. It’s a powerful and potent combination that can help everyone stay protected.” #CalciumCeeEveryday #StrongandHealthyEveryday

Vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate is known as calcium cee, ascorbic acid. It is non-acidic and sodium-free, and it can be consumed on an empty stomach.

Calcium Cee is available at Mercury Drug (https://www.mercurydrug.com/)  and Watson’s (https://www.watsons.com.ph/calcium-ascorbate-1-tablet/p/BP_10076743).  Merry mart, All day Green Pharma , Alturas Bohol  and leading drugstores nationwide.

The Experiencing Symptoms of Neuropathy towards Filipinos in Metro Manila

Did you know, 99% of Filipinos experiencing Pamamanhid, tusok-tusok, and pangangalay. Filipinos in Metro Manila have felt one of the three symptoms of nerve damage or neuropathy.

The study conducted by P&G Health startling findings from a 2020 consumer study for among 240 Filipinos in Metro Manila age range from 35 to 65 years old on the symptoms of neuropathy. And resulted that seven out of ten respondents have no idea about this neuropathy and much more aware of the other common term, nerve damage.

Neuropathy is a clinical condition where there is damage to the nerves caused by deficiency of B vitamins. It is most common among those who perform repetitive movements for a prolonged period, and put stress on their arms, hands, legs, or feet. It is also frequent among those with diabetes and other degenerative diseases. Genetics and lifestyle could be predisposing factors.

Neuropathy among Filipinos

Majority of respondents started experiencing the symptoms of neuropathy between 36 to 40 years old. Around 94% felt pangangalay or muscle weakness, 90% had that tusok-tusok sensation or tingling, 94% had pamamanhid or numbness on their hands and feet, while 85% experienced all three.

Most of the respondents who had their fair share of the symptoms dismissed these, thinking that these were caused just by tiredness or being overworked.

To relieve their symptoms, most of them did stretching exercises, went for a massage, or took a pill, usually painkillers. Some of them even explored home remedies such as drinking herbal teas. However, 90% of the respondents said that none of what they tried stopped the recurrence of symptoms. There were also those who tried generic B-vitamins, but only 51% said it helped in resolving the discomforts they feel.

Without relief for their symptoms, the respondents had difficulty doing tasks at home, simple chores became much harder to do, and their performance at work were even affected.

This emphasizes the importance of early detection and diagnosis of neuropathy. Under normal conditions, nerves repair naturally through nerve regeneration (Hoke, 2011).  However, this is only possible if less than 50% of the fibers of the nerve tissue is damaged.  Otherwise, this is called “point of no return” by experts.

 Dealing with Nerve Damage Symptoms

Thankfully, neuropathy or nerve damage symptoms can be handled by consulting medical experts and knowing which products work best in stopping the recurrence of the discomforts it brings. In the study conducted, respondents were also asked if they have tried Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion), and 76% of those who have tried using it said that it was helpful in resolving the symptoms they experience.

Clinically proven Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) helps relieve nerve damage and regenerate the nerves. Through the years, Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) has been promoting nerve care awareness among Filipinos. Its goal is to help Filipinos protect their nerves and have the #NerveToServe so they can continue caring for themselves and for others.

Remember, nerve damage can be properly dealt with if you take action on an early onset. Give your nerves the care that they need so that you can do the things you need to do and achieve your goals.

Keep your nerves in check with Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion)! For updates, visit the brand’s official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/NeurobionPhilippines/ and the official website at https://www.neurobion.com/en_PH/home.html.

Ms. Catriona Gray on protecting her Immunity

Many things are happening these days and one way for us to cope up is by making our immunity strong and healthy. That’s why the former Ms. Universe Catriona Gray already did her part in making her body in best shape and ready to face each day with the use of good vitamins and supplement.

For Cat, putting yourself first before others does not always mean you are selfish. Sometimes, it also means that you only want to create the best version of yourself to give your best contributions to the community.

I decided to lift weights after reaching my target (75kg). So, last November 2019 and 140kg. I weighed 75 kg in September last year, 136 kg last February 2020. It was difficult to do the workout at home, especially because you’re close to the comforts of your bed. But if you’re well-motivated, I’m motivated and while working out next to your bed, make sure you can do it,” he said.

Challenging yourself to be better

The 26-year-old Justine Castillo could not agree more. Her motivation for weight management is more about having to challenge herself to be better. Her urge to lose weight emerged when she took the pandemic brought uncertainties as a challenge to prove herself that she can be fit and fit. Even if she is trapped at home, it’s safe.

I did aerobic exercises at first, and then I concentrated on the part of the body that I want to improve, such as my legs, arms, and tummy. It is essential to have the workout early in the morning so that you can get used to it every day and achieve your health goals. I also found it difficult to work out at home because I’m used to doing my workout exercises. Also, the equipment I have at home has been just limited. But, as time passes, I have discovered that I can also do workouts at home and make it easier to do them. The accomplishment of my health targets,’ said Tin.

Improving your Diet

Jason and Tin need to improve and change their diet. As for Tin, she cut her intake in sweet, rice, salty food and high- carb intake and aims to take healthier foods. She makes certain to eat a low-carb diet and do intermittent fasting.

According to Tin, “To fulfill my weight goal, I needed to have self-discipline, be consistent in what I do, and to have the right supplement that I need. I start my day by drinking a pre-workout drink like Santé BarleyTM or Santé’sBarliccino coffee. After a workout, I drink Santé’sFitN’Trim juice and have some healthy breakfast, like salad and chicken. I also count the calories I burned during workouts and, of course, be conscious about my calorie intake.”

For Jason, he did what he thought was right in the “calories in, calories out” way of thinking. He stated, “I decided to track my calorie intake per day while making sure that I still get the nutrient I need to sustain my energy. I also drink Santé BarleyTM and FitN’Trim.”

Looking for the right fitness drink

Apart from having a good balance of nutrition and diet. Jason and Tin also think that having light food supplements packed with nutrition is also important to support them with their fitness endeavor. Santé Barley is a pure organic barley grass powdered drink. Blended with one of nature’s most potent sweeteners, Stevia, this product is best taken before meals. It also readily dissolves in water and contains A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, and E (per serving).

Also FitN’Trim is one of the excellent products of Sante’s premier organic health and wellness. It is the best drink to partner during a workout and in a healthy diet. It contains vitamin C and Sante’s signature organic pure barley grass powder certified by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency.

FitN’Trim also has green tea and zest of lemon flavor, mixed with L Carnitine that help prevent fast metabolism and decreasing body fat. It also contains calcium to help sustain strong bones and teeths and protein to support muscle growth and maintenance, magnesium to aid in muscle and nerve function, dietary fiber to aid digestive health and fiber and zinc that helps the immune system.

Jayson said everything that boils down to your desire to achieve your goal, for those preparing to begin their fitness journey. He remembered that three years ago, he enrolled himself in a gym fitness program. A tiny freebie shirt made him believe that he could reach his ideal weight, even though it did not go as expected.

Thus, according to Tin fitness journey begins by believing in yourself.  “Self-discipline, consistency, and choosing the right supplement will also help you achieve your fitness goals,” she added.

At a certain time, my fitness trainer playfully said that if that shirt fits me, then I’m going to be his idol. I saw this same shirt in my closet the other day. Guess what? “My fitness trainer, at that time, jokingly said that if that shirt fits me, then I’ll be his idol. The day before, I saw this same shirt in my closet. Guess what? It fits me now, “It fits me now. What you have learned from this experience is that a time will come when your inspiration will be lost. For sure, maintaining your weight is not an easy feat. Then, on your WHY, you have to be straightforward and let that deliver the HOW.”

Sangobion Shares about Healthy Blood in a Human’s Immune System

The challenges of performing work and home duties concurrently may feel like a never-ending loop as Work-From-Home (WFH) has become the new standard. Although everyone is doing their best to get a handle on winning in this situation, it is not easy for all women to handle this lifestyle change stressor, and coping may be even harder for working moms.

Pressures build up overtime and if unaddressed, it can result to chronic stress that may also affect your blood health. If you notice yourself experiencing symptoms of prolonged fatigue, lack of energy, and lack of motivation, it is time to reassess your lifestyle as you may be experiencing a case of iron deficiency anemia.

A healthy blood leads to a healthier immune system

Ang Dugo Mo, Kamusta? — is the question that Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+)wants every Filipino to have for themselves and their loved ones. Iron Deficiency Anemia is a common case in Filipino women and those with chronic medical conditions. And most of those who have it have learned to function despite experiencing its symptoms.

When the body has iron deficiency anemia, it is unable to produce healthy red blood cells which store and carry oxygen to the other parts of the body. The risk of not addressing this condition may take a toll on the immune system and the body can be more susceptible to illnesses and infections.

Small lifestyle changes to boost your blood health and immunity

Incorporating small healthy changes into your current WFH situation can help improve your blood health. Here are three easy ways to add to your daily schedule to fight iron deficiency anemia and keep your immunity healthy.

  1. Perform quick 12-minute exercise routines daily

There are plenty of workout routines available online that you can complete in under 15 minutes. But if you still find those taxing, just keep in mind that the goal is to have your heart rate up a little, so think of it as working out efficiently by exerting the right amount of effort.

This can be as basic as going up and down the stairs, jumping rope, or even just walking around the house for 12 minutes. If you want more intensity, you can try the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with short but intense bursts of activity with short break periods. Moderate exercise routines when done daily can boost your immunity. Plus, it also helps boost your energy for the day.

  1. Help your body fight off iron deficiency anemia with Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+)

Proper diet and nutrition help keep the body healthy. Going for nutritious meals over processed ones and choosing food rich in iron like red meat, beans, dark green leafy vegetables to add to your diet can benefit your body positively. But for those who are running on hectic daily schedules, monitoring a balanced diet might be a hard commitment to make. Taking multivitamins daily can help the body get the nutrients and minerals it needs when your food intake won’t be able to provide them.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. 4 It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production.

  1. Get quality sleep

Sleep is vital to having a strong immune system and while everyone is aware of this, not all are keeping close tabs of their sleeping routines. The National Sleep Foundation released sleep-quality recommendations, which include: being able to fall asleep in 30 minutes or less, waking

up for five minutes or longer not more than once a night, you fall back asleep within 20 minutes, and you’re asleep 85% of the time you spend in bed.

If you’re guilty of not meeting these recommendations, try to change up the way you get ready for bed. Create a healthy sleep routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time daily to train your body and mind on a schedule. Free yourself from your phone or tablet at least one hour before bedtime so your brain won’t be stimulated. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine like reading a book, meditation, or drinking tea to put you into a state of calm.

Consider these small lifestyle changes an investment to your health. When you maintain a healthy blood, it keeps you less vulnerable in getting illnesses and infections. Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps regulate your blood iron, so you won’t have to worry about experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia.
