We usually get tired, feels weak, and becomes restless once in a while. But, for people with anemia, these are more or less what they experience every day. When one suffers from anemia, he or she gets tired easily from working, feels dizzy for no reason, and is generally overcome by fatigue.

Sangobion IRON+ (Ferrous Gluconate+Vitamins & Minerals) has always been serious about fighting iron deficiency anemia. To accomplish this, Sangobion is launching a new campaign, Sulong Dugong Pinoy.


Dr. Corazon Zaida N. Gamilla, University of Sto. Tomas Hospital’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology chairman, who discussed the importance of healthy blood in supporting the functions of the body, the prevalence of anemia, its symptoms, and ways to prevent and treat it. 


Also present was Dr. Christie Monina Nalupta – Director of the Philippine Red Cross - National Blood Services, who graced the event to support Sangobion’s vision of a healthy blood nation.

Meanwhile, the Marketing Director of Merck (makers of Sangobion IRON+), Ming Arroyo-Cunanan, focused on the brand’s relevance and big plans.


“We have been helping men and women from across the country fight anemia with Sangobion, and I’m happy to say that we’ve been successful. That’s why we think that now is the time to start elevating the brand’s purpose. It’s more than just treating anemia, it’s about maintaining healthy blood to empower every Filipino. Our vision is a blood-healthy Philippines.” Cunanan said of Sangobion’s plans this year. Singer and actress Sarah Geronimo, who has been part of the Sangobion family for two years now was also there. 

Check out the teaser for the new Sangobion TVC below:



“There really are a lot of amazing things coming for Sangobion.” Sarah enthusiastically told the crowd. “I’m inviting everyone to join us sa Saturday, April 8 po, at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall for the Sulong Dugong Pinoy Blood Health Event sponsored by Sangobion of course, and supported po ng Philippine Red Cross.” Major activities like the official TVC premiere will take place, all to kickstart the Sangobion Sulong Dugong Pinoy campaign.

#SulongDugongPinoy
On April 23, 2017 marks another of raising the public’s consciousness about environmental issues and health and fitness for National Geographic, which celebrates its eighth straight year of holding Earth Day Run. Presented by the channel and its partners Cherifer Premium and World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF), Earth Day Run 2017 aims to continue the tradition of being one of the biggest running events in the country, expecting scores of running enthusiasts and Eco Warriors to register and run for the environment. The event will be held not only in Manila but simultaneously in the cities of Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Taichung, an initiative that was adopted last year and effectively spread the vision and advocacy of Earth Day Run across Asia.

At Earth Day Run 2017, National Geographic will be celebrating eight years of social awareness through fitness with special program features using the hashtag #8withEDR. With the hopes of mobilizing all the Eco Warriors of previous Earth Day Runs, this year’s event welcomes all previously registered participants with VIP treatment and special loyalty perks to be enjoyed on the day of the run. Participants from previous Earth Day Runs will be given priority placement in front of the starting line at the beginning of the race and can claim their loot bags and finisher shirt at a special express booth. They can also make use of a special warm-up and cool down tent before and after the race to condition themselves and recover in comfort.



This year’s new participants can also join in the celebrations for Earth Day Run’s eighth anniversary by visiting the 8 Years of EDR Gallery at the race village and learning about what the event has accomplished over the years, including the environmental and social initiatives it has benefited with the help of its registered runners. Visitors to the gallery will learn how their participation at Earth Day Run has made a significant impact on certain communities in the Philippines as well as how their actions as individuals can affect the environment.





Earth Day Run 2017 in Manila will be held at the SM Mall of Asia grounds, where participants can join 5K, 10K, 21K and 42K categories. The event encourages and welcomes all types of Eco Warriors to take part, from fun-runners of all ages to the serious marathon runners who regularly compete. This year, Earth Day Run will also be sporting new features for its runners. As a special treat, all race kits will come with LED shoelaces, serving as a badge of pride and as a safety precaution for Eco Warriors running at night or before sunrise. Prizes will also be given to costumed runners who showcase their creativity by coming in their best ensemble made from recycled materials. Finally, to make each Eco Warrior’s voice heard in this run for the Earth, advocacy banners will be hanging above the finish line so that each runner can grab them as they cross to make a shout-out for the environment, keep as a souvenir, and use for all their post-run selfies to amplify the message of acting now to save the environment.

Last year, Earth Day Run participants ran to benefit such causes as saving the Irawaddy dolphins at the Malampaya Sound Research and Conservation Project in Palawan; giving the Earth Hour or “Gift of Life” village in Monreal, Masbate sustainable solutions that reduce carbon footprint; conservation of the Marine Protected Area and coral reef in Apo Reef in Occidental Mindoro; and beefing up reforestation efforts in the Ipo Watershed in Bulacan, which supplies Metro Manila with fresh water. Registered runners at Earth Day Run 2017 will not only experience a fun day of outdoor fitness by joining this year’s event, but will also be doing their part in contributing to National Geographic’s environmental efforts.


“Earth Day Run 2017 will be the biggest version of the race yet, with more expected participants from Manila and four other cities across Asia. We’re also excited to look back on our eight years of environmental advocacy and share and celebrate with our runners the positive change that they helped make possible through the years by joining Earth Day Run. We hope that Earth Day Run 2017 not only brings communities of running enthusiasts together for the common cause of saving the environment but also that it amplifies the important message of doing your own part today to help stop climate change and commit to sustainable solutions to save our beloved planet Earth,” said Charo Espedido, Director and Head of Content and Marketing at FOX Networks Group Philippines.


Interested runners of all ages can join National Geographic’s Earth Day Run 2017 by registering at natgeoearthdayrun.com and from March 1 to April 16, 2017.
Two years ago, I was invited to try the newest instant white lotion as they launch it in Manila. The objective is to Be White Now and Even Whiter With Allele White which I reviewed two years ago. I never thought that there will be a product, especially a lotion that can give an instant white effect upon application.

Right from then, Allele White has given a hope for Filipina to get a whiter skin. The latest revolutionary systems they come up is when they introduce the additional product in their brand which is the Extreme White Body Mask and the Ultra Young + White Beauty Bar aside from the Instant White Lotion that they.


What I love about Allele is that, it can give a 5 in 1 benefits of Kojic Acid and Collagen.


It increases skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, exfoliates the skin, hastens skin rejuvenation, reduces the appearance of scar, freckles, and pimple marks. And lastly, it can unclogs and minimize pores to prevent acne.

Allele White products has 3 steps to a whiter you:

1. Exfoliate and Lighten any body marks.
2. Moisturize and replenish the body lotion.
3. Protect by covering the skin from imperfection and protect skin from the sun.

You can buy Allele White in the following:

- Lazada 
- Metro Gaisano
- GMall of Davao
- ThreeeSixty Pharmacy.

When it comes to raising a baby, a mother’s priority has always been about ensuring their health and development. For working moms especially, the ultimate challenge is getting the right amount of sleep for both her and her baby.

What with busy schedules and always being on-the- go, pioneer in the science of baby development, JOHNSON’S, has developed a new mobile application perfect for all working parents. Featuring a set of proprietary and customized tools, the app is designed to be the ultimate sleep expert-partner for parents.

Tonight We Sleep App. Key Features:

Sleep Log: Parents are able to log-in a baby’s sleep schedules–- this includes the times and number of hours that baby sleeps and wakes—for close monitoring of a baby’s sleep patterns. This feature even produces a sleep analysis score that comes with recommendations from JOHNSON’S sleep experts!

Sleep Analysis: This feature provides parents with an analysis on a baby’s sleeping habits and provides answers to some of the most pressing questions parents may have. The results will come in according to the following sub- categories: General, Falling Asleep, Sleep Routine, Sleep Duration, Night Wakings, and Family and will likewise generate customized recommendations.

Ambient Sounds: Research has shown that ambient sounds can help induce sleep (for adults, just as well, as babies). With this feature, parents can play DJ and mix up to four ambient sounds at one time; just the way your baby likes for bedtime.


Lullaby Playlist: JOHNSON’S Bedtime also boasts of a wide variety of lullabies
that parents can pick from! You can even set a playlist of up to four songs with no interruptions or advertisements. And the best part? The new lullabies have
"all the 
science of sound embedded” so there will be no more second-guessing.

Ask an Expert: Parents also have direct access to JOHNSON’S sleep experts 
who can answer all other sleep-related questions (not already addressed by the Sleep Analysis feature).

“Sleep is very critical to a baby’s growth and development. That is why we created the first clinically proven routine together with an app backed by 
science, to lead to better nights for both moms and their babies,” shares Bessie Campillo, JOHNSON’S Franchise Marketing Manager.


Sleep Medicine and Surgery Specialist Dr. Agnes Tirona-Remulla also shares, “One of the best ways you can get your baby to sleep is through a bedtime routine. When you commit to a bedtime routine, like the three simple steps of a bath, massage, and quiet time, you will see progress in your baby’s sleeping patterns and overall demeanor.”

She also emphasized that with better sleep, babies can enjoy a stronger immune system, improved social skills, and increased abilities in learning and memory.

Alongside the release of the Baby Sleep App, JOHNSON’S also launched the first scientifically-proven bedtime routine, guaranteed to help you and your baby to sleep for an additional one hour in just seven days. More details about the routine can be found in the new app’s features.

The JOHNSON’S Bedtime Baby Sleep App is now available to download on the Apple Store and Google Play Store for FREE. You can also download it via the QR code.
Hello Friends!

How's everything after the holidays? I'm so glad to be back on the blogging circulation. This is my fist blog for Get Beauteous this year and I would like to discuss about us... Women and UTI.

If you are asking me what is the connection of the two, well then, read this post all the way down for you to understand what I mean. Most health conditions affects men and women. However, there are certain illness that are more common in women.

From sexually active women to pregnant women and up to menopausal women are all prone to illness and one of these is Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

So, what is Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?

It is more common in women. Those suffering from UTI experience pain or burning when urinating, as well as, pain, pressure or tenderness in the area of the bladder. When the infection reaches the upper urinary tract, symptoms may include back pain, chills, fever, nausea and vomiting.

As I was saying, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the most common extra-intestinal infectious disease entity in women worldwide with a high prevalence and frequency of recurrence. It was estimated that up to one-third of all women will experience at least an episode of UTI during their lifetime. It makes the female anatomy to  be more problematic.

How did UTI Occurs?

It occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra, which is the tube that connects the urinary bladder to the genitals and transports and discharges urine outside the body. Women has shorter urethra compared to men that allows the bacteria to reach the bladder more easily. Female urethra is just one and a half inches long; in contrast the male urethra measures eight inches in length.

Another factor is the close proximity of the urethral opening to the vagina and anus, both of which serve as fertile environments for bacteria. Because the urethra is in front of the vagina, bacteria near the vagina can be pushed into the urethra during sexual intercourse. This is why UTI is more prevalent among sexually active women. UTI tends to occur in women when they begin having sex or engage in it 
more often.

While during pregnancy, a woman is at even higher risk of contracting UTI. Hormones cause changes in the urinary tract which predisposes a pregnant woman to infections. Add to this the growing uterus which presses on the bladder, preventing the complete emptying of urine. Some urine may then pool in the bladder. Germs (bacteria) are likely to multiply and cause infection in a stagnant pool of urine.

Menopausal also increases the risk of getting a UTI. During menopause, the level of the female hormone estrogen decreases. This decrease can cause changes in the tissues around the urethra that can lead to a UTI. Advanced age, which usually coincides with menopause, also has various debilitating effects on the pelvic area organs and tissues.

Most urinary tract infections start in the lower urinary tract made up of the urethra and bladder, it can lead to a kidney infection if left untreated. Bacteria that have infected the bladder may travel to the upper urinary tract made up of the ureters and the kidneys.

A lower urinary tract or bladder infection usually causes pain or burning when urinating. There is a frequent urge to urinate though only a small amount is passed. Urine may look cloudy and smell foul or 
unusually strong. There may be pain, pressure, or tenderness in the area of the bladder. In upper urinary tract infection, symptoms may include back pain, chills, fever, nausea and vomiting.

What is the treatment for UTI?

Urinalysis is performed to initially determine if there is an infection. A urine sample is studied in the lab for presence of white and red blood cells and bacteria. If either of these is detected, the patient may have UTI. The urine sample may be grown in a culture to know which bacteria are present.

As treatment for UTI, antibiotics are usually prescribed. The problem here is that the frequent intake of antibiotics to treat UTI, as for recurring infection, can lead to side effects such as liver disease. Also, patients who repeatedly take antibiotics for their UTI eventually develop resistance to the medication as the bacteria build their resistance over time.



Want a safe treatment for your UTI?

Let me tell you this.

An effective and alternative way in treating UTI is taking 1 to 2 capsule of all-natural CranUTI Cranberry Supplement daily. Each capsule of CranUTI contains 350mg of cranberry extract. It is a rich source of Proanthocyanidin antioxidant which prevents E. Coli and other UTI-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract.

One capsule of CranUTI is equivalent to approximately 300 ml of pure cranberry juice without dilution, without sugar, colorings, flavorings or preservatives. It can be taken as a daily supplement to prevent UTI and to enjoy additional health benefits. Aside from treating UTI, CranUTI helps fight cancer-causing carcinogens, promotes healthy cholesterol levels, and combats dental plaque build-up. It contains powerful antioxidants that combat cell damage and aging and is rich in vitamin C and calcium for improved overall well-being.

Treatment of UTI should be generally easy if detected early and immediately acted on. Just because it is a common infection among the female population does not mean a woman has to fall victim to UTI numerous times. Given the symptoms that it causes, UTI affects one’s concentration and productivity.

Daily routines like work tasks and school activities become difficult to accomplish. All women should take an active stance in fighting and eventually winning the battle against a common enemy.

CranUTI is available at Mercury Drug stores and other drugstores nationwide in sachet foils of 10 capsules (P120), jars of 60 capsules (P660), and pack 10s of 100 capsules (P1200). CranUTI customer hotlines are (02) 524-6549, (02) 354-2208 to 09 and mobile numbers 0947-4890262, 0928-3224217. It is FDA-approved and is safe for children, pregnant women, and senior citizens.
