Prevent dengue this rainy season

The rainy season is definitely a refreshing respite after the blistering summer. However, it also comes with several illnesses and diseases and the most dreaded of all is dengue. Dengue is caused by a tiny bite of an infected mosquito but this little bite can cause serious health problems and could even mean death if not treated immediately.

“Due to the wet season, dengue-carrying mosquitoes lurk everywhere. As of now, there’s still no vaccine for dengue fever so the best course of action is prevention. You can do this by applying mosquito repellent, removing breeding grounds of mosquitoes and most importantly, keeping the immune system strong,” says Dr. Montoya, MediCard president and CEO.

To avoid serious health complications that dengue brings, MediCard, a leading HMO provider, gives a rundown on how to prevent it this rainy season:

Hanabishi encourages healthy eating habits among Filipino families

With a growing number of Filipinos today being more health-conscious, healthy eating is increasingly becoming a priority among families. Recent studies reveal rising demand for healthier foods and drinks in line with the goal of achieving a healthier lifestyle. A report released by Nielsen in 2015 mentioned Filipinos were more interested in two product segments–those made of natural ingredients and products that support a healthy lifestyle.

Keeping a family healthy requires conscious and sustained effort, particularly from parents. Ensuring a steady supply of nutritious foods and drinks, selecting the right ingredients and preparing them in a way that will appeal to all family members can be tedious, costly and time-consuming. 

Number one homegrown appliance manufacturer Hanabishi strengthens its commitment to support more Filipino families in achieving a healthier lifestyle. By offering quality and budget-friendly kitchen appliances that preserve the nutrients needed for daily activities while making preparation and cooking simpler, Hanabishi hopes to encourage more Filipino families to make healthy eating part of their lifestyle.

Keep your hydration levels in check

You need a hydrating product even if you have oily skin

and other ways to stave off dull, dry skin

Did you know that your skin can be moisturized but not properly hydrated? Hydration and moisturization are actually two different things. When you hydrate your skin, you ensure that your skin cells retain more water, resulting in healthier- and younger-looking skin. When you moisturize, you apply a protective layer on your skin that ensures that the moisture in your cells is not lost.

Dullness and tightness are telltale signs of dehydrated skin. When your skin is rough, dry or flaky—or all of the above, you need a moisturizer to retain your skin’s lipid barrier. The result is healthy skin that is soft and smooth.

If you only use a moisturizer, it may help ease your dry skin, but it does not address the cause of the problem and, chances are, you will need to reapply throughout the day. To make your skin truly healthy, you need to apply a hydrating lotion to plump up your cells.
