Ways to Keep Your Brain Healthy the Herbalife Way!

Tuesday, April 20, 2021

     Our brain, like the rest of our body, needs to be checked regularly. When I say check, it's like evaluating if one or all of the key components of mind health is present like strong memory, ability to think and reason, steady mood, and agreeable personality. With the recent events and the uncertainties happening, our mental health may not be in good shape. I presume that some of you have experienced signs of stress, anxiety attacks, and sleep disturbances because of our current situation. 

     It is very timely that Dr. Small, who is a member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, talked about “Healthy Aging: Brain Fitness for Healthy Adults” at the most recent Virtual Wellness Tour hosted by Herbalife Nutrition Philippines. As part of the discussion, he shared his views on effective ways to improve memory and help maintain cognitive functions. He also provided relevant information on how balanced nutrition, sustained physical activity, and sound lifestyle practices will safeguard our ability to perform mental processes. Sharing the highlights of this online event below :)

Covid-19 and Immune System

Thursday, July 16, 2020

     We are still battling with the unseen enemy, COVID-19 and you may have heard from the very start of the pandemic that a healthy body is one of our weapons against this viral infection. It's mandatory to strengthen the immune system and there are micronutrients that we need in order to 

     The world as we know it has changed due to the sudden onslaught of a viral infection, with the COVID-19 pandemic bringing economies to a standstill and keeping us in our homes for an unprecedented period. This new reality we are facing has made us more conscious of our habits, and it is crucial now more than ever to be diligent with proactive efforts on health and safety.

Boost the Body’s Immunity Through Nutrition

Friday, April 17, 2020

     The 2019 novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has taken the world by surprise with its highly infectious nature and mortality rate. What’s most concerning is that while we know that COVID-19 is part of a large family of viruses that include Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), there are many traits of this virus that we have yet to uncover, such as the dynamics of transmission. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it could take up to 18 months for the first COVID-19 vaccines to be made publicly available. Only an approved drug can treat or cure, or prevent the transmission of, COVID-19 and other diseases. In the absence of any vaccine to date, we are left with practical prevention measures, such as maintaining proper hygiene, wearing a mask when necessary, or maintaining social distancing. It may also be useful to keep our bodies strong, so that our immune systems function well. 

     After all, our immune system is one of the most effective forms of defense against viral infections. There are two categories of immune functions in everyone’s body – the innate immunity which prevents diseases from entering the body and adaptive immunity which eliminates or prevents the growth of pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, in our body. However, increasing the body’s immunity is not as straightforward as it sounds. There remains much about the immune system that researchers are still working to understand, but what we do know is the tangible connection between the immune system and nutrition.

Product Review: ATC Fish Oil

Sunday, May 15, 2016

     Do you have a family member who has elevated or high cholesterol results in their recent or past laboratories? Have you seen them take medication to lower their cholesterol? Since Filipinos love to eat, there are times that we forgot that we devour on foods that's high in bad cholesterol. B-A-D cholesterol to be exact because there's also a good cholesterol in our body.

     I will not be talking about the good cholesterol here but more of the bad cholesterol. According to medicinenet.com
LDL cholesterol: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, commonly referred to as 'bad' cholesterol. Elevated LDL levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Lipoproteins, which are combinations of fats (lipids) and proteins, are the form in which lipids are transported in the blood.
     So this kind of cholesterol is risky and if one cannot control the amount of LDL cholesterol in the body, he or she may just fall down and have heart attack. Of course we don't want that to happen, right? There are many supplements that can help maintain good cholesterol level in our body and one of them is ATC Fish Oil which my father has been taking for years now. Read more of our review below :)

Will he repurchase: Yes, it's his maintenance supplement for cardiovascular health.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating. ATC is a trusted brand of supplements and has received numerous awards these past ten years in the market. I'm also considering taking this supplement not only for heart health but for the skin. Some say that taking fish oil can make the skin shiny and supple. Well, I still have to try it for myself.

     If you want to take this supplement, kindly consult a medical professional first. I always advise my readers to ask their doctors even if it's just a supplement because there may be other contraindications for people who are under maintenance drugs. 

Have you tried taking fish oils?

Good Times!~

ATC Healthcare Supplements

     "Prevention is always better than cure." Take it from me because I've seen and experienced it with my father. If he's just obedient and had strictly complied to the doctor's order, then I presume that until now we are managing CKD and dialysis free. Anyhoo, I don't want to blame him for what happened. What I can do now is learn from this experience and start a healthy lifestyle. It's excruciating emotionally and physically when one is sick in the family. 

     In my opinion, one thing that can help us in preventing or managing these diseases as early as possible is drinking food supplement, eating right, exercise, and laughter. Before drinking food supplements, be sure to have a regular check-up with your doctor and ask him/her about the food supplement that you are going to take. Speaking of food supplements, ATC Healthcare brand is making a name in the food supplment industry. I've tried a few food supplements from this brand and my father is taking ATC Fish Oil capsules as his heart supplement- doctor prescribed!
