Novuhair Free Workout Bullet Proof Your Immune System against COVID 19 to Boosts Optimism

NOVUHAIR®, the leading natural hair loss treatment in the Philippines, partnered with The Fit Filipino (FITFIL) Movement lead by Jim & Toni Saret, the brand’s VIP Fitness Coaches, to a FREE 20-day Facebook Live workout aimed at improving your wellness quotient goals through a “Bulletproof Immune System Activity Booster”.

• Have you ever been asked about your wellness quotient?

Wellness quotient refers to your ability to incorporate wellness into your life. This requires an initial reflection and understanding of your current situation and developing a focused plan to address your shortcomings.

Currently, wellness quotient plays an important role particularly in dealing with the overall impact of this pandemic crisis where everyone is compelled to an extended community quarantine.

This workout program is designed to help beginners and complement the workout of those with active exercise

routines.

Making a few lifestyle changes to help improve yourself goes a long way such as joining a support group, reading e-books for additional knowledge, creating a wellness calendar plan, and incorporating a good physical health habit can help improve your mood and your overall well-being.

Jim and Toni will be giving away:

• NOVUHAIR® Topical Scalp Lotion 200ml. daily to ten (10) lucky registered participants.
• Raffle special gift packs to those who will finish the 5, 10, 15, and 20 sessions via The Fit Filipino Movement FB  page.
• Special awards will be given to the “Top 10 Biggest Losers” at the end of the 20-Day program.

You can join the program today until May 29, 2020., happening everyday from Monday to Friday at 4pm live on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/fitfilmovement. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3fT3zEm.

Join now and believe in yourself. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Optimism Adds Resilience

From the start of this pandemic, profuse optimism, coupled with genuine concern among key stakeholders in weathering the storm, is evident in the support and proactive measures of Pascual Total Health Incorporated, the holding company of Bionutra Innovations Inc., the company subsidiary marketing the leading natural hair loss treatment in the Philippines, NOVUHAIR ®  – nature’s answer to hair loss.

Staying Fit while Working from Home

By Samantha Clayton, OLY, ISSA-CPT, Vice President, Worldwide Sports Performance and Fitness, Herbalife Nutrition

Are you getting used to staying at home and now that many of us have been working from home, or simply staying at home, for over 2 months now. How do you stay physically active and getting physically fit while enduring the heat of the summer weather? For the first few weeks we didn’t necessarily know how long this would go on, so I think many people were not really thinking about creating sustainable routines. It's important to create some good habits that will help us to stay mentally and physically healthy. That may include getting in your workout while working from home.

Working from home sounds nice until you think about all the logistics that are truly involved. With many governments implementing “safer at home” policies, including working from home provisions, it’s understandable that the new disruptions to our daily routines may cause stress or anxiety. For many, working from home is a new experience, and you may find yourself plugging-in more throughout the day and missing out on essential time you should be taking for your wellbeing.  This is why it’s important to find creative ways to keep moving throughout the day, while you’re confined to working from your house.

In these trying times, as we work together to help flatten the curve by staying at home, it's understandable that our daily routines may cause stress or anxiety. For many, working from home is a new experience.

• Keep a Routine

Just like it’s important to have a consistent workout regimen to avoid or delay reaching a plateau in your fitness performance, it’s important to develop or stay on your “work routine” to avoid creating bad habits that will hinder your motivation. 

It may be tempting to roll out of bed and work in your pajamas, but before you know it your work area will also become a mess, and your habits will change. In the midst of these changes we’re going through, why add more? Stay consistent and keep a schedule-- get up at the same time you would as if you were going to the office in the morning, shower, get dressed, have your coffee or tea, set up your workstation and work as you normally would. Keeping this sense of normalcy will help you stay focused on your tasks.

Here are some ways to fit fitness into your work-from-home schedule:

• Prioritize Movement for a Positive Work Environment

While you may be more concerned about getting your work done than getting a workout in, the truth is that you should always make time for a total of 30 minutes of every day. If you make it part of your schedule by adding it to your daily calendar, it will be something to look forward to in an otherwise monotonous workday.

Additionally, there’s research that has linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and back pain. 

Even if ‘being fit’ isn’t a priority for you, the body’s natural release of endorphins is enhanced during bouts of physical activity, which will at the very least improve your mood. And during stressful times like these, one of the greatest benefits of performing regular exercise is its ability to make the activities of everyday life feel easier.

Workout While You Work

Here are five easy exercises to do while working from home, and many don’t even require you to leave your workstation:

• Set an Alarm. At the top, middle, or the end of every hour set an alarm on your phone for a few minutes of activity. Whether you choose to do 1 minute of crunches, 60 squats, or 20 pushups—setting time to take a break from your work to get your body moving will not only help you feel stronger over time but will also help keep your energy up throughout the day. 
• Stretch Your Upper Body. Warm-up your muscles with upper-body stretches—raise your arms above your head, stretch until you feel it in your chest, and biceps. Stretching helps to relieve stress and tight muscles.
• Take Your Calls Standing. Whether you decide to go for a walk during a call or do some squats, use this time to put your ear pods in and move. Lunges can also work your glutes and thighs. Lunge forward by dropping your hips to the floor, alternate legs. 
• Seated Crunches. Work your abs while sitting in your chair. Keep your back straight and your hands behind your head, then raise your knees to your elbows, alternating legs. 
• Ankle Circles. Keep your blood flowing by doing some simple ankle circles to support healthy circulation.

Don’t Forget Your Balanced Diet Food
Managing your exercise routine, consuming a healthy diet, and getting enough rest are just a few great ways you can strive toward getting the best physical and emotional results. Healthy snacking throughout the day on whole fruits, sticks of string cheese, and cartons of yogurt will not only keep you full but are also easy to grab when you’ve lost track of time from being plugged-in all day. Additionally, a balanced diet with plenty of protein will keep you feeling full so that you’re not constantly visiting the refrigerator. Don’t forget that working from home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep your boundaries—make sure you take this extra time at home to make time for yourself to unwind and relax.

If you are struggling to get into fitness while working from home, better yet, get your kids involved or the whole family makes it a bonding moment with them. Sometimes a shift in our mindset can make a huge difference. Think of it as something you get to do, not something you have to do.

“This is a time to tell our stories, the stories of our children. As each person goes through life, there are countless experiences that touch our lives. Some experiences can be so powerful that they have a long-lasting and life-changing impact on our lives. SM Cares enables us to expand all over the Philippines, increasing the impact and benefits to more and more families, helping persons with Down syndrome to live more normal lives.” ~Elmer Lapeña, DSAPI Chairman

Extreme Freshness Challenge from the New Downy Sports

“The Philippines is a tropical country with high humidity so people tend to sweat a lot,

especially when they engage in phy

stench in their clothes whenever they sweat. We are confident that with the New Downy

Sports’ 24

-

hour deodorant protection, Filipinos will be assured that they will smell and

feel fresh even in extreme swea

ty situations in their daily routine,” said Cedric Le Goff,

Country Category Leader for Downy Philippines

Downy Sports

Do you hate that “amoy - pawis” smell on your clothes when you go to the gym, play sports, or even as you go through the everyday hustle? DOWNY, the world's best-selling brand of fabric enhancer, introduces the NEW Downy Sports with a new technology made specifically to remove malodors on clothing. Being the first and only fabric enhancer with 24-hour deodorant protection technology, Downy Sports can give both children and adults the confidence of long-lasting refreshing scent even on their sweaty days.

Downy Sports

Now, there's no need to sweat it! Downy Philippines recently launched the New Downy Sports last January 30, 2019, at Kerry Sports in Shangri-la the Fort. The first and only fabric enhancer in the world with 24-hour deo protection technology for your clothes. The unique 24-hour deodorant protection from Downy Sports activates through friction by simply rubbing your clothes to release the perfume bubbles that keep the fabrics smelling fresh all day long

Downy Sports

To test this new variant, Downy Sports launched a 24-hour All Star Freshness Challenge — an afternoon of intense basketball games pitting celebrity-led teams headed by actress and vlogger Alex Gonzaga, as well as soccer player and fitness enthusiast Nico Bolzico. They were also joined by other all stars like Thirdy Ravena, Michele Gumabao, Maricel Laxa - Pangilinan, Kianna Dy, Joanne Villablanca, and Anton del Rosario. Each all-star team was coached by professional basketball stars including LA Tenorio, JC Intal, Asi Taulava, Jeff Chan, Marc Pingris, and Robert Bolick.

Members of each team wore jerseys rinsed with Downy Sports, whose innovative malodor-removing technology is activated by friction. Rubbing the clothes releases perfume bubbles that keep the fabrics smelling fresh all day long.

After hours of intense action, including lay-up matches, a dribbling obstacle course, and a basketball game, the players hung their jerseys in an all-star freshness gallery. The players were astounded that despite the tremendous amount of sweat accumulated from the afternoon of intense action, the jerseys smelled amazingly fresh

“I can’t believe that my jersey still smells good even after those sweaty games. Downy Sports is really a refreshing discovery, and now I know I’ll get to stay fresh all day -whether it’s for sports or for the everyday hustle with tapings, vlogging, events, and shopping!” ~Alex Gonzaga

Downy Sports

“This is just awesome. My jersey still smells great even if it’s drenched in sweat. And the best thing is that I feel fresh. Considering my lifestyle, I’ll definitely make sure that my clothes are washed with Downy Sports so that I’ll always smell fresh. Definitely, wifezilla-approved!” ~Nico Bolzico

A Zumba night with Uratex Employees Dance Fever 8

Uratex Employee Zumba Activity happened last November 24, 2018, at Ronac Greenhills.

Uratex's very own CEO and Chairwoman, Mrs. Natividad Cheng with Uratex Employees.

Uratex Dance Fever 8, attended by Uratex employees gathered to celebrate in a Zumba party wearing their most comfortable and colorful Zumba outfit and others are even wearing their tutu on.

Here are some of the Zumba videos during the event

Health and wellness at work are much needed for any employee once in a while to regain their physical, psychological and psycho-social health of employees and to promote their development as individuals.

I myself sweat out that night while enjoying Zumba with different music. It was a night as well that all the employees who attended celebrated in an active way.
