LAC Philippines Encourages Mindful Eating for a Balanced Holiday Season

 The Philippines is known for having the longest Christmas season in the world. As early as the ber months, lights and decorations are set up, and holiday promos fill stores and screens, signaling the start of months-long celebrations centered around family, friends, and, more often, food. From lechonand bibingka to festive drinks, the season is filled with indulgence and togetherness. While these moments bring warmth and joy, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) continues to remind the public that excessive eating and drinking can take a toll on one’s health.

According to the NNC, mindful eating, moderation, and balanced meals guided by the Pinggang Pinoy model are essential for maintaining good nutrition during the holidays. Overindulgence, particularly in alcohol and rich food, can strain the liver, disrupt digestion, and contribute to unwanted weight gain or other health concerns.

Mindful Indulgence During the Holidays

The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, and that includes sharing good food with loved ones. Practicing mindful indulgence helps savor meals, while staying comfortable throughout the season without feeling guilt or discomfort. Simple habits like watching portions, drinking enough water, and keeping the body moving support digestion and steady energy.

To further support Filipinos in enjoying the festivities without compromising their health, LAC Philippinespromotes balanced wellness through targeted nutrition. LAC offers scientifically-based supplements that strengthen the body’s natural defenses, promote balance, and support inner wellness during the most indulgent time of the year.

One of these essential supplements is LAC Activated® Liver Protector, which helps defend against fatty liver and supports healthy liver function: a vital need during the holidays when rich dishes and alcohol are common. Formulated with a synergistic blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs such as Sanchi, Red Peony Root, Hawthorn Fruit, Lotus Leaf, and Turmeric (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae), it helps prevent and relieve fatty liver and lower bad blood lipids. It also supports the body’s natural detoxification process and promotes efficient fat and toxin metabolism. For optimal results, take one to two vegicaps twice daily with warm water after meals to keep the liver healthy and efficient in processing fats and toxins throughout the festive period.

For those who experience post-celebration bloating and want to feel lighter after hearty meals, LAC LeanCut® Belli Lean™ offers a delicious and convenient way to support fat metabolism and reduce belly fat. It contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) that are easily converted into energy to support an active lifestyle. Its proprietary blend of Corn Silk, Lemon Balm, Red Vine Leaf, Lotus Leaf, and Eucommia Leaf Extracts helps reduce visceral fat, enhance fat metabolism, relieve water retention, and promote a leaner, lighter midsection. This makes it suitable for individuals with high-fat or high-carb diets, sedentary lifestyles, or those simply aiming to maintain a balanced figure throughout the holidays. Simply take one to three sticks daily on its own or mix with water.

Wellness That Lasts Beyond the Holidays

Celebrating mindfully is not about restriction but about balance. It allows people to enjoy traditions while supporting the body’s overall wellness from within. With the right habits and support from LAC’s wellness essentials, Filipinos can enter the new year feeling lighter, stronger, and more energized. 

Because the best celebrations are those that nurture both body and spirit, leaving you ready to welcome the year ahead in your best form.

LAC Philippines Champions Heart Health Awareness Ahead of World Heart Day on September 29

 

As the Philippines grapples with the alarming rise of heart disease, claiming lives across all age groups, health and wellness supplement retailer LAC Philippines underscores the critical importance of mindfulness and a holistic approach to heart health. In observance of World Heart Day on September 29, LAC Philippines calls on Filipinos to prioritize their cardiovascular well-being through a combination of lifestyle changes and supportive supplements.

Heart conditions continue to be a formidable health challenge in the Philippines, affecting both the elderly and even younger generations. Early detection is crucial, as it can significantly improve treatment outcomes and prevent devastating complications. Being attuned to one's body, recognizing early warning signs, and adopting preventive measures can make a substantial difference.

Lifestyle factors play a pivotal role in heart health. The increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, and stress has contributed to the growing number of heart disease cases. To combat this, LAC Philippines advocates for a balanced approach that encompasses regular exercise, adequate sleep, a nutritious diet, and supplement intake. 

“Heart health is not just about physical well-being; it's also about mental and emotional balance,” said LAC Global’s Chief Marketing Officer, Evelyn Teo. “Mindfulness practices can help individuals manage stress, reduce blood pressure, and improve overall heart health.”

LAC Philippines recognizes the significance of a multi-faceted approach to heart care. The company offers heart-supporting supplements like TRIMAX™ Omega Fish Oil + CoQ-10 to complement a healthy lifestyle. This innovative 2-in-1 formula combines a high concentration of Fish Oil with 900mg Omega-3 fatty acids: 647mg EPA & 253mg DHA; and 100mg Coenzyme Q-10, a vital nutrient for heart muscle health. By providing essential nutrients and antioxidants, TRIMAX™ helps improve blood flow and reduce inflammation, ultimately promoting heart health.

“We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a long and healthy life,” added Annalyn Lazaga, Lead Pharmacist of LAC Philippines. “By incorporating mindfulness into daily routines and supporting heart health with proper nutrition and supplementation, Filipinos can take charge of their well-being, and significantly reduce their risk of heart disease to enjoy a higher quality of life”, she concluded.
