Feature: Stevia Brands in the Philippines

Monday, April 05, 2021

     It has been two years since the day that I decided to commit to a healthy lifestyle and to be able to do this, there are so many factors that I needed to consider. One of the most important things is to have a healthy relationship with food. I believe in the saying that "You are what you eat" and in order for me to stay on what is considered a healthy, proper, and nutritious diet, I have to lessen or drop one thing- SUGAR!!!

     It's really, genuinely so hard especially for someone who has been indulging in cakes, pastries, chocolates, coffees, milk teas, and other treats loaded with sugar since the time of his or her existence. Another reason why sugar is a big part of my diet because we are a family of bakers. I was born and raised by bakery owners. From the time I opened my eyes, all the yummy and sweet treats were already in sight. Who can say no to the smell of freshly baked bread from day until night?! So yes, growing up eating slices of bread, cakes, pastries, and other foods with sugar or high sugar content is really hard to avoid. Too much sugar in my diet has negative effects so finding an alternative or a substitute is a must and this is where I discovered STEVIA.

"For Your SweetHeart” Campaign via “Healthy Heart At Home" Online Event

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

     Staying at home is one of the protocols that we need to follow in preventing the spread of COVID-19 but it also leaves us susceptible to a sedentary lifestyle. It’s dangerous because there's an increased risk of diabetes due to a sedentary lifestyle. We can't deny the fact that staying at home for more than 8 months has disadvantages, especially in our health as some of us became couch potatoes and gadget slaves. 

     Diabetes and its life-threatening complication hit close to home that’s why I committed myself to a healthy lifestyle. In order to help spread awareness on this, I joined "The Healthy Heart @ Home: Online Fitness Class last October 24, 2020 that was virtually hosted by fitness gurus Coach Jim and Toni Saret on their Facebook Page. More about the online event and "For Your SweetHeart” Campaign after the jump.

Nutrients for Sport Injuries-How to Heal Fast

Monday, October 12, 2020

     Love sports, but scared about getting injured? Sports injuries are fairly common, and believe it or not there is a strong connection between poor nutrition and sports-related injuries. Hence why proper food nutrition and preventive health measures should be taken. When ligaments, tissues, and muscles become extensively damaged, it promotes inflammatory hormones that favor the destruction of your tissue and the resistance to form new tissue. These inflammatory responses may rely on total muscle mass, and they can be affected by nutrition. 

     That is why the metabolic values, nutritional profile, and the body composition of a sportsman can affect muscle recovery when there is an injury. The main goal from a nutritional point of view is to prevent injuries by eating a well-balanced diet. But unfortunately, sports accidents happen, let’s discuss the best nutrients to heal fast and optimize recovery time.

High Protein Low-Calorie Milk Brands in the Philippines

Saturday, September 05, 2020

     Milk is one of my favorite drinks. It's packed with important nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, B vitamins, potassium, vitamin D, and an excellent source of protein. ⁣Drinking milk and dairy products may prevent bone fractures, osteoporosis, and even help you maintain a healthy weight.⁣
     I usually combine a glass of milk to my Herbalife Formula 1 Shake for added creaminess and protein. In order for me to achieve the required protein amount based on my macronutrient count or macros, (protein is very hard for me to achieve with just eating alone) I incorporate this muscle gainer daily in my drinks too. Can you guess my top 2 fave milk brands in the photo below? Sharing a short feature and review of the milk brands that I highly recommend if you're into weight loss and building muscle after the jump!
