LOVE YOUR HAIR WITH NOVUHAIR

The love month doesn’t just pertain to having a relationship with someone, it’s not just about going out on a date or stressing on what to give to your partner or dreaming about what to receive in return. The love month should remind us about everything and everyone we love.

Our parents, siblings or friends who stuck with you through thick or thin should form part of this special month. Loving yourself should not be set aside as well.

Take time to take care of your own appearance and since our hair is on top of our body, it is pertinent that we start with it. Here are a few tips in maintaining a healthy hair.

Observe good hygiene all the time – regularly wash your hair to remove dirt and grimes

Be extra careful whenever combing your wet hair – your hair is vulnerable to breakage during this period.

Debunking Baby Sleep Myths

 Sleep has always been one of the biggest concerns for first-time parents. We witness first-hand the effects of what a missed nap or a delayed bedtime can do to our babies, and with so much information to process, we can’t blame ourselves if we get caught up in bedtime myths.

Here are a few common bedtime myths that you may not have known could be solved by trouble-free remedies. 

1. “My baby is just a poor sleeper. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

There is no such thing as a ‘poor sleeper’. The trick is to help your baby get more familiar with bedtime. According to several sleep experts, one of the most effective ways is by establishing a bedtime routine.

JOHNSON'S®: recently came out with the first scientifically-proven bedtime routine, which consists of three simple steps: Bath, Massage, and Quiet Time. When used with the official line of Bedtime™ products—made with NATURALCALM™ aromas and a NO MORE TEARS® Mildness® formula—it guarantees your baby an additional one hour of sleep, after just seven days.

This is why Nestle Health Science encourages you to share the most valuable gift you could give to your family this year—the gift of health. By opting for a balanced diet and ensuring the regular intake of nutritional supplements, you can put your family on the path to general wellness.

How a nutritionist can help your family enjoy better health

  

When a family member gets sick or experiences recurring discomfort such as constipation, acne breakouts or cramps, we often self-medicate or go straight to a doctor – and very seldom to a nutritionist. However, consulting a nutritionist is actually a good idea because many of the ailments that we experience may be caused by improper nutrition, micronutrient deficiency, or high sugar levels that can be addressed simply by modifying our diet.
