Consistency Over Intensity: How LAC Philippines Supports Small Habits for Better Health

     As 2026 begins, New Year’s resolutions once again inspire Filipinos to aim for healthier, better habits. Yet for many, this tradition comes with pressure. A Forbes Health/OnePoll survey shows that over 60 percent of adults feel compelled to set resolutions often taking on several goals at once. Unfortunately, studies cited by Verywell Mind reveal that more than 90 percent of resolutions fail within months due to unrealistic expectations and unsustainable changes.

     Experts agree that drastic diets, intense workout plans, and sudden lifestyle overhauls rarely lead to lasting results. Instead, psychologists emphasize that meaningful change happens when big goals are broken down into small, repeatable habits and guided by a clear sense of purpose. This focus on consistency over intensity is central to LAC Philippines’ approach to wellness. Rather than encouraging extreme transformations, LAC promotes simple daily routines that help support energy, immunity, skin health, and overall vitality over time.

Plan B: The Gift that Keeps on Giving

     “If you are the family's breadwinner, your most valuable asset is your ability to earn. And the only instrument that can protect that asset is life insurance,” says Renato Vergel De Dios, President and CEO of BDO Life. 

     For 50 years, he has built his career around one mission: helping Filipino families achieve financial security through life insurance, or Plan B. One would think that in that span, life insurance would already be part of every Filipino’s financial portfolio. Yet many breadwinners remain without coverage, leaving their families vulnerable to financial ruin.

Finding Balance in Every Meal This Holiday Season

     The Philippines is known for having the longest Christmas season in the world. As early as the ber months, lights and decorations are set up, and holiday promos fill stores and screens, signaling the start of months-long celebrations centered around family, friends, and, more often, food. From lechon and bibingka to festive drinks, the season is filled with indulgence and togetherness. While these moments bring warmth and joy, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) continues to remind the public that excessive eating and drinking can take a toll on one’s health.

     According to the NNC, mindful eating, moderation, and balanced meals guided by the Pinggang Pinoy model are essential for maintaining good nutrition during the holidays. Overindulgence, particularly in alcohol and rich food, can strain the liver, disrupt digestion, and contribute to unwanted weight gain or other health concerns.
