New year healthy suggestions

START the year right by making your health your first priority. Take care of your body from head to toe with the following healthy stuff suggestions for you and your family.


Stuff to keep you supported and safe
With the demand for sports medicine continuing to rise, Toby’s Sports has recently acquired the Active Quotient (AQ), an American professional sports brand offering premium medical support products that focus more on key body parts like shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, waist, ankle, back, thigh and foot. Runners get to run with ease by using knee pads.

The natural way to energize
Health buffs and workout junkies are always on the lookout for energy drinks in different variants and flavors. Your usual energy drink commonly contains familiar energy-boosting ingredients such as ginseng, guarana, gingko biloba and caffeine, to name a few, among other substances. Now, there is an all-natural drink that serves the same purpose—Dole Juice Up Rejuvenate. It offers you the same amount of energy-boosting substances with the refreshing, all-natural goodness of pineapple juice.

Be confident
Taking on the world one day at a time is a journey. It’s all about nurturing oneself and experiencing a wellness routine that makes you feel fresh and confident, especially when it comes to feminine hygiene. Now, on its 10th year, pH Care, a gynecologist-tested, hypo-allergenic feminine wash specially formulated for women’s intimate, cleansing needs help maintain the natural pH of the external genitalia, allowing thorough cleansing and everyday cleanliness and comfort. Manufactured by United Laboratories (Unilab), this feminine hygiene introduces another variant called Powder Freshness. To thank its loyal customers, purchase of the products now come with a free limited edition lingerie bag co-designed by Kate Torralba. For more information, please visit and like pH Care Cool Wind on Facebook.

Happy mornings
Warm milk, check. Bath, check. Diaper, check. Lullaby, check. Right before bedtime, moms are confident that they did everything to prepare their baby for a good night’s sleep—until they hear crying in the middle of the night. Moms go through their checklist again: Is he hungry or sick? Are there any leaks outside the diaper? But if they still can’t figure out the cause of their baby’s discomfort, it might be because they are not checking his diaper properly. Although a diaper may seem dry outside, it might already be wet inside, making baby feel uncomfortable at night. Pampers introduced new and improved Pampers Comfort that helps ensure uninterrupted sleep. It boasts of its unique 4 layers + magic gel that effectively absorb wetness to ensure dryness not just outside but inside as well.

Moms also got to chat with Dr. Maria Imelda Consunji Vinzon-Bautista, Director of the Institute of Pediatrics and Child Health, Saint Luke’s Medical Center-Global City. “More than just the baby’s mood, uninterrupted sleep is important to baby’s development. The quality of baby’s sleep is affected if he feels discomfort due to a wet diaper,” says Bautista. She also adds that, “Wetness in the diaper may compromise baby’s skin making baby more prone to irritants and infection.” By checking that the diaper is dry outside and inside, moms help keep their babies not only happy but healthy too!
