DOH: “PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR HEART, CHOOSE HEALTHY OPTIONS THIS VALENTINE’S DAY” THE Department of Health spearheads the celebration of Heart Month this February with the theme: “Gulay at Prutas Araw-Arawin, Matamis, Mamantika, at Maalat Hinay-Hinayin.” This Valentine’s Day, the public is reminded to choose a heart-healthy gift or practice a healthy lifestyle and diet to keep one healthy. Here are some heartfriendly tips from DOH: 1. Instead of buying your sweetheart an overload of cakes, sweets, and fatty foods, why not give a more permanent gift. A poem, letter or message may convey more feeling. 2. If you choose to buy chocolates, choose dark chocolate with less sugar and caramel added. Dark chocolate should be made up of at least 60-70 percent cocoa. It has flavonoids, antioxidants, which are good for the heart and blood vessels. Eat only a moderate amount, approximately an ounce (around 30 grams) a day. 3. Be active on Valentine’s Day. Plan an outing or walk around a park or mall. Walking for 30 minutes is good for your heart. 4. Home cooking is healthier than restaurant food. Instead of an expensive restaurant date, why not cook at home and enjoy a romantic dinner for two. For example, you can eat fish like tuna, mackerel, bangus and salmon. 5. Split your meal in two. If you still want to go to a restaurant for a date, splitting your meal can cut your calorie intake in half. 6. Give fresh fruits. If you want to eat something sweet, local fresh fruits in season are the healthier choice. 7. Don’t smoke. If your sweetheart is a smoker, encourage him or her to quit smoking. Smoking can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Hence, quitting is the best Valentine’s Day gift for your loved one.
8. Be faithful to your partner. Reduce your stress and enjoy life more. In the Philippines, deaths related to NonCommunicable Diseases are attributed to: cardiovascular diseases (33%), cancer (10%), diabetes (6%), and chronic respiratory diseases (5%) (WHO Report on NCD Country Profiles 2014). The Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) National Nutrition Survey showed that there is an increasing prevalence in the following behavioral factors from 2008 to 2013: diabetes from 4.8% to 5.4% and overweight among adults from 26.6% to 31.1% while decreasing trends for hypertension from 25.3% to 22.3% and current adult smokers from 31.0% to 25.4%. Last 2016, the DOH launched the establishment of the DOH Hypertension and Diabetes Club. This will be scaled-up nationwide to enhance the initiatives in addressing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) and will serve as a support group in communities to disseminate information and ensure that appropriate management is provided to all patients. As of February 2017, more than 600,000 patients are registered in the club. To be part of the DOH Hypertension and Diabetes Club, the client needs to consult the nearest health center or primary health care facility to undergo assessment, screening and management using the Philippine Package of Essential NCD Intervention (PhilPEN) protocol. Once the patient is diagnosed to have hypertension and/or diabetes, he/ she will be enrolled to the club. Member can access DOH drugs for hypertension (Losartan/Amlodipine/ Metoprolol) and diabetes (Metformin). They will also benefit from activities promoting healthy lifestyle. “Be kind to your heart. Choose healthier options this Valentine’s Day, maintain a regular diet and exercise. Gulay at Prutas Araw-Arawin, Matamis, Mamantika, at Maalat Hinay-Hinayin,” Secretary Paulyn Jean B. Rosell-Ubial concluded.

Globe Telecom board approves 1Q P22.75/share cash dividend GLOBE Telecom announced that its Board of Directors approved the declaration of the fourth quarterly cash dividend of P22.75 per share for holders of its common shares. The dividend will be paid to shareholders on record as of February 21, 2017, with payment date on March 8, 2017. “The cash dividend is a testament of the company’s commitment in creating shareholder value,” Globe Chief Finance Officer Rizza Maniego-Eala said, adding the first quarter cash dividend payment total is estimated at around P3.0 billion. Approval of the cash dividend follows the release of the company’s financial performance report, which showed the leading telecommunications company posting fresh record revenues of close to P120.0 billion, outpacing the previous record level of P113.7 billion in 2015 by 6%. According to Globe, the sustained revenue momentum, despite the competitive intensity in the market during the second half of 2016, was driven by the solid growth in data-related products across all segments, and robust subscriber growth for both mobile and broadband. This was likewise supported by the sustained execution excellence for the various product launches during the year, backed by its improved network performance, as Globe moves forward with its capacity and coverage enhancement initiatives intended to elevate the state of internet in the country.
IS YOUR VITAMIN C SAFE?
THE New Year gives us another chance at a fresh start. After the unhealthy lifestyle during the holidays, our immune system is just starting to recuperate and get back to normal. One sure way to speed up its recovery is to take optimum levels of Vitamin C. But did you know, that when taking Vitamin C, we have to be careful of several factors such as the type and quality of Vitamin C because not all vitamin C are the same! The most common type of Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. This type of vitamin C has been by far, the cheapest form of Vitamin C, but did you know that when taken at higher quantities, ascorbic acid is not exempted from harmful side effects. Diarrhea, Nausea, Stomach Cramps, Headache, Hyperacidity, Hot flushes and Heartburn are just some of the symptoms of taking too much ascorbic acid. In the recent decade, Sodium Ascorbate has given the public the safest and most effective type of vitamin C. Bewell-C (Sodium Ascorbate) is a non-acidic Vitamin C supplement that is rapidly gaining popularity among the public as a high quality and effective brand. Bewell-C is the next generation vitamin C that provides all the benefits of vitamin C without the risk of hyperacidity. Doctors recommend that we take 2 capsules per day of Bewell-C. Some people require a higher dose per day if they are experiencing the following:
Flu:
People suffering from Flu virus are recommended to take 6 capsules of Bewell-C per day and 4 capsules while recovering from flu. Whereas, those who are suffering from colds and cough are recommended to take at least 6 capsules until they have recovered.
Research study also pointed out that most healthy adults get a cold two or three times a year and taking large doses of Vitamin C daily shortens the duration of colds.
Smokers and Alcohol Drinkers
Alcohol, Nicotine and other substance in cigarette causes cell damage and drains vitamins and nutrition from your body. Smokers and those who often drink alcohol experience lower immune system and are susceptible to various diseases thus, they are required to take at least 4 capsules of Bewell-C to help maintain their health.
Post-Surgery
People who underwent surgery are recommended to take high doses of Vitamin C as much as 6 capsules Bewell-C daily to hasten wound healing. Vitamin C is essential in the formation of new connective tissue in healing wound. For those who need both Vitamin C and Calcium, Bewell-C plus calcium is also available in the market. Just like Bewell-C, this product also uses non-acidic vitamin C paired with organic calcium fortified with Vitamin D for stronger bones and teeth. Bewell-C and Bewell-C Plus Calcium is available in all leading drugstores nationwide and on Lazada.com.ph Online Shopping: http://www.lazada.com .ph/bewell-nutraceuticals-corporation/.
