A never-before-seen beauty breakthrough has arrived in the Philippines through That'so, an Italian skincare brand renowned for its ...
Most of the Mom's will definitely agree when it comes to
bedtime challenge that we all face in getting our babies to sleep and stay
sleeping.
Did you know that studies say that 20%-30% of babies
experience sleeps problems, including difficulty in falling asleep and sleeping
through the night.
In return, it can cause problems not only to babies, but also for mothers and have an impact in the
health development of babies.
Establishing a sleeping routine is one of the most important
things that parents can do to help their baby sleep better. Johnson's had recognized this and that is why
they launched a clinically proven Bedtime Routine. It helps baby to fall asleep
faster and stay asleep longer in just 3 steps.
Step 1.
Bath: A bedtime routine, including a warm bath with
Johnson’s bedtime baby bath, helps baby know it’s time to sleep.
Step 2.
Massage: A massage, using Johnson’s bedtime baby
lotion can help baby sleep better. Familiar and pleasant scents can make baby
feel happy and relaxed and lead to better well-being by enhancing baby’s mood
and emotions.
Step 3.
Quiet Time: The moments before bed are an
opportunity to help baby wind down through quiet time activities, such as
reading, singing or listening to music. Complement quiet time with Johnson’s
bedtime baby powder to freshen and keep baby feeling comfortable while
sleeping.
You can complement the Johnson’s 3-Step Bedtime routine with
Johnson’s bedtime baby oil to warm baby before bath.
During the event, Dr. Agnes Tirona- Remulla, a specialist in
ENT-Head and Neck Surgery, sub-specializing in Sleep Medicine and Surgery told us
that the sleep rhythms begin to develop at around 6 weeks and most babies are
developmentally capable of regular sleep-wake cycles by 3-6 months.
Sleeping is important for the little ones because it has an impact
to their immune system, it promotes cognitive development by building memory
and supports learning. It also improves social skills of the baby.
Also, Johnson's has launched its Bedtime baby sleep app.
Designed to equip mothers with information on how to ensure longer and better
sleep for their baby. It is now available around the world, the App features a
proprietary customized sleep profile tool to get a research based analysis of
baby's sleeping habits, there is also a lullaby album and an ambient sound mixer
to make playing lullabies more convenient. There is also an information on the
Bedtime Routine and products, and access to Johnson's sleep experts to answer
sleep-related questions.
It’s so nice to know that there is such products and apps
like Johnson's offer. Johnson's encourage moms and dads to learn how to
establish a good night time routine early on.

The world’s number one sports drink, in partnership with Runrio, will once again hit the road for the second year of the Gatorade Run.
It will be held on November 27, 2016 at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. The run will have two distances—11K and 22K.
More than 6,000 runners registered in last year’s run which featured hydration stations where participants got pre-race hydration drinks, a post-run hydration test area where runners instantly learned about their hydration status, and a warm-up area where free sessions were available for those who wanted a full-on warm up activity before and after the run. Gatorade ambassadors Jeron Teng, Jaja Santiago, Chris Banchero, Jett Manuel and Ara Galang were among those who were present to support the runners.
This year’s run promises to be more exciting, while still focusing on the importance of pre- and post-run hydration. Pepsico Marketing Manager for Hydration Tony Atayde said, “Gatorade is a global leader in sports performance and we’ll definitely bring that expertise to the run. Learning the benefits of proper hydration is crucial for runners and we look forward to reinforcing that message through the Gatorade Run. We’re excited to show runners how, whether in sports hydration or a unique consumer experience, NOTHING BEATS GATORADE.”
Registration for the Gatorade Run 2016 will start on September 12. Log on to runrio.com for updates and to register.

I know it was so scary
to know that DOH have already confirmed that the Zika virus is now here in our
country. For sure there are lots of Filipinos who don't know or perhaps don't
have knowledge about this kind of virus that can be spread out.
We should be more
cautious to our surroundings. As they say, "It's better to prevent than to
cure!" But what if, there is no vaccine against the virus, like Zika? In
fact, One in four people infected with Zika only develops symptoms while a
very small portion of people may suffer complications after contracting the
virus.
What is Zika?
Zika is a kind of virus that being transmitted by the Aedes
Aegypti, the same mosquito that transmitted Dengue and Chikungunya Virus. It
could be symptomatic or asymptomatic.
What are the Symptoms?
- Mild Fever
- Skin Rash
- Joint Pain
- Conjunctivitis Fatigue
- Headache
What to do if symptoms appear?
- Treatment varies depending on the symptoms.
- Do not self-medicate. Consult a doctor.
- If symptoms worsen or other complications develop, seek medical attention immediately, you could be at risk.
- Wear clothes that cover your arms and legs.
- Have plenty of rest and sleep.
- Take plenty of fluids.
How to prevent the risk of Zika, Dengue, or Chikungunya
Virus infection?
- Prevention starts at home.
- Eliminate breeding sites such as flower pots, old tires, bottles and any other recipients where water can accumulate.
- Cover all household water tanks and container to ensure that mosquitoes cannot get into them.
- Prevent the accumulation of rubbish, dispose it in sealed plastic bags and use covered bins.
- Keep drains clear to prevent stagnant water from accumulating.
- Use insecticide-treated mosquito screens or curtains to cover windows and doors.
- Wear long sleeves, long trousers and hats.
- Use insect repellents recommended by health authorities
- Share this information.

Caution: Zika Alert In The Philippines

Anyone who’s
had a medical operation knows that it can be such a source of pain. Traditional
surgical procedures are invasive in nature, causing certain amount of trauma to
implement a course of treatment. Many internal complaints require long
incisions that take time to heal, not to mention an increase in the chances of
infection. Rather than offer a quick remedy for an illness, the patient is left
to recuperate on his sickbed for a period of time.
However, latest
advancements in medical technology allow individuals to opt for a less
traumatic approach to their care. The introduction of robotic surgery easily
avoids all the complications brought about by most operations.
Now hailed as
the future of surgical procedures, The Medical City (TMC) has been offering
robotic surgeries since 2010 for procedures that target difficult and
hard-to-reach areas. This signals its position as one of the most
technologically advanced health institutions in the country, at par with
leading centers in the world.
Doctors at The
Medical City have been using this innovation for urological, colorectal, and
gynecological procedures, which focus on sensitive parts of the human body.
Dr. Julius
Cajucom, TMC Urologist and head of the Robotics Surgery Program of The Medical
City, says prostate surgeries target a “tight area” in the body.
“The degree of
difficulty is so great,” explains Cajucom. “The area is very tight, and
movements are so limited.” The use of the robot makes the operation in the said
areas more convenient and easier.
The advantages
of robotic surgeries are manifold. Compared to open surgeries, it only makes
tiny incisions on the patient’s body where holes are made, as in laparoscopic
procedures. Through these holes, the arms of the machine are inserted to
perform the needed operation within the patient’s body. The doctor operates the
robot through a console that allows him to see the inside of the patient
without having to open him up. Since the patient has smaller incisions, the
chances of infection from external causes are minimized.
“It is
less traumatic, less bloody, causes less pain post-operatively, and promotes
faster recovery,” says Cajucom.
Likewise, Dr.
Kristine Katimbang, TMC Robotic Gynecologic Surgeon, says robotic surgery is
beneficial for many gynecological procedures, such as hysterectomies,
myomectomies, and excising ovarian cysts, endometrial cancer and cervical
cancer.
Katimbang
adds that many patients who undergo robotic surgery leave the hospital in just
a day or two.
“Since there is
no pain, they can move easily. They can eat well after a procedure, which isn’t
the case compared with an open surgery,” she says. “Since there are no long
incisions, there is less pain, less stress, and less agony. You cannot imagine
how doctors feel when they see their patients with smiles on their faces after
robotic surgery.”
The
Medical City has highly-qualified personnel to perform robotic surgeries, from
doctors to nurses. All of them trained with the leading health institutions
abroad.
While the
procedure is presently available for urologic, colorectal, and gynecological
operations, Katimbang says it can also be utilized for head and neck,
trans-oral, thoracic, and vascular surgeries.
Patients no
longer need to fear surgeries and their after effects on their bodies with
robotic surgery. Robotics surgery provides an alternative to both
traditional open and conventional laparoscopic surgery, putting the
doctor’s hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. It
enables physicians to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures
through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

It was such a nice to attend an event who featuring about family, especially with regards to our
beloved mothers. I personally touched on how Great Image showcases their love
of our mothers together with the Make Your Mother Proud Foundation.
Who among us did not care about the person whom give us
life? For sure guys, you know what I mean.
During the event, I get a chance to view the exhibits of the
finalist. It was stunning and very heartwarming tribute to all mothers. At first glance, I know the
entry of Nanay Emilia and her daughters would be in the spotlight. I love it
and very inspiring. I made a poll during that day and ask my blogger friends
about who's their favorite and it seems like the most favorite. No wonder, it
becomes the grand winner!
There are also some special guest like Michael Pangilinan, Bryan
Termulo and Sitti Navarro, who serenade the audience with their special performances
and of course, the Make Your Nanay Proud
Foundation's founder Mr.
Boy Abunda.
The #MeetMyNanay was so amazing, touching and very
inspiring. I hope that will continue about this.
Below is the video and the full story that defines the
bonding moments between Nanay Emilia and her daughters, the Mortega sisters.

The marathon is not my forte nor my interest. Although, I
run, sometimes I am not really into it as a serious sport.
Marathons take years of preparation. One needs to train hard, maintain a balance
diet and build muscles.
I know the fact that not everybody can run a race to help
promote an advocacy. And so the ANCOP WALK was born from the effort of ANCOP
Canada. Organizing a walk event for twelve years now. Where people of all ages
and from all walks of life can participate in raising funds for education and
likewise create an awareness about ANCOP.
ANCOP is Couples for Christ's work with the poor initiative.
This year, the ANCOP Global Walk returns to the SM MOA,
hoping to triple that initial number, targeting the 100,000 walkers who will
send 2,000 scholars to school. Everyone is invited to join the ANCOP Global
Walk. Even your family pets can be registered too!
The ANCOP Global Walk will be held in Metro Manila at 4:00
AM on August 14, 2016 at the SM Mall of Asia grounds, Pasay City. Registration
is at Php 300. Simultaneous walks in major cities in the Philippines, the USA,
Canada, and Australia, among others, will also happen on the same day.
So if you're looking for an event to join that isn't a
marathon and help a cause at the same time, why not try the ANCOP Global Walk.
See you there!
