Sanofi remains committed to its mission to promote hypertension management

September 29 is World Heart Day all around the globe. 

 

More than just a celebration, World Heart Day was established in the hopes that it could reach more people and be able to spread awareness about the perils of heart diseases and stroke.

 

Sanofi recognizes that this is a unique time to be worried about heart health and learn more about the steps that should be taken to ensure risk-free living, especially under a cloud of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s heartbreaking to see those with comorbidities battle a critical to severe form of the virus- forcing them to put their lives on hold, be isolated from family, friends and people who matters most to them,” Amal Makhloufi Benchouk, the Philippines Country Lead for Sanofi, shared in her opening remarks.

 

Statistics have shown that 7 out of 10 people are diagnosed with hypertension, and 2 out of 10 hypertension patients die. Sanofi continues to respond to the challenge of dealing with comorbidities during this time, by emphasizing the need to address the lack of awareness and limited access to cardiovascular disease management. 

 

“Cardiovascular Disease remains the number 1 killer in the world, resulting in about 18.6 Million deaths worldwide and over 520 million people globally living with cardiovascular disease that has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic,” she remarked.

 

Sanofi’s mission has led them to create the Empower Hypertension Program, which aims to deliver awareness, prevention, and management to patients. The program provides enlisted patients with free coaching sessions led by nurse educators to arm them with information that tackles myths and facts about the disease, among others.

 

Sanofi has also partnered with Omron, a leading medical electronics company, to extend a 20% to 25% discount to patients, encouraging them to procure the technology in order to monitor their blood pressure regularly.

 

Sanofi remains committed to its mission to promote hypertension management at the early stages and to inspire individuals to take control of their own health.

 

To learn more about the program, visit www.sanofi.ph or thru their Instagram account @sanofi.ph. 

 

Former crew members share how safety has always been a top priority at McDonald’s

In a recently released M Safe video, former store employees of the company talked about how being safe at McDonald’s makes them feel good.

Henric, a former crew at McDo Robinsons Novaliches shared how working at McDonald’s has taught him the value of safety early on. Years after and his own business later, he recalls and proudly attests as to how committed the company is on safety. 

Meanwhile, former crew members Arden and Khaycie also highlighted how safety was their first lesson as new employees, wherein stringent global safety protocols were taught. Today, with health and safety being of utmost concern for everyone, they are not worried whenever they visit or enjoy McDonald’s from the comfort of their homes, knowing they are safe.

“Safety has always been at the core of our operating culture and will always be. Our M Safe program is a testament to this – whether it is the safety of our food, the safety of our crew and managers who serve our customers, to the safety and cleanliness of all our restaurants and channels. Safety has been integral to us since day one, and who can better talk about this than our former crew members who have turned into loyal customers”, says Kenneth S. Yang, President and Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s Philippines. 

Safety in every way

 

Customers are assured of safety in all ways. Apart from its Safety Seal-certified stores nationwide, the QSR giant has prioritized initiatives in boosting the vaccine rollout among its people and customers. 

 

To date, 98% of its NCR store employees have already been vaccinated with the first dose and is set to hit 100% this month. Meanwhile, in a bid to encourage vaccination, McDonald’s rolled out Bakuna Benefits wherein customers who have at least had their first dose of vaccine enjoy a 10% discount for select orders.

 

McDonald’s also continues to innovate and provide customers with other safe choices where they can enjoy their food. Responding to consumer preferences, McDonald’s introduced Bike & Dine, Ride Thru, and Outdoor Dining so any customer can enjoy their favorites conveniently and safely.

 

Whether dine-in, delivery, or ride thru, customers are assured that their food is safely prepared through its stringent global food quality standards and strict safe and healthy protocols.

 

“As we all continue to navigate through these challenging times, the public can count on us in making sure their McDonald’s experience is always safe. We encourage customers to share feedback too via msafe@ph.mcd.com,” Yang concluded.

Mead Johnson Nutrition (Philippines), Inc. launches PROVITAL Immuna Plus

Science shows that as we age, our immune system weakens. A weakened immune system is related to increased risk of infections, metabolic imbalance, and neurodegenerative disorders¹. In fact, in the Philippines, health statistics from the Department of Health, shows that immune-related diseases including: Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, Influenza, Bronchitis and Pneumonia are among top causes of illness and deaths². Older people are also the most vulnerable to COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and fatality³. To combat threats to their health, older adults need to boost their immunity with a healthy lifestyle, nutritious diet, and proper supplements.

Mead Johnson Nutrition (Philippines), Inc.’s New PROVITAL Immuna Plus is an adult nutritional milk beverage for ages 50 and up. It provides TRIPLE IMMMUNE PROTECTION benefits from Yeast Beta-glucan, Selenium, and Vitamin C that helps enhance your immunity so you can live your life to the fullest. Together with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle practices, two glasses of PROVITAL Immuna Plus daily contains nutrients that can equip the body with proper nutrition to help fight the threats of immunity-related diseases such as Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia^1,4,5.

 

New PROVITAL Immuna Plus is the ONLY adult nutritional milk beverage with Yeast Beta-glucan, a key immune-boosting ingredient which is clinically proven to reduce symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) by 64% and help with faster recovery time⁵. Yeast Beta-glucan is known for its ability to enhance the immune system by activating the immune cells to destroy pathogens. Selenium and Vitamin C are both powerful antioxidants that regulate immune function^6,7 and strengthen defense^8,9. At 2 servings per day, PROVITAL Immuna Plus is also high in calcium and Vitamin D which promote bone and muscle strength.

 

“Many don’t realize, but muscle and body aches, constant fatigue, and frequent colds & coughs are common signs of weakened immunity. As adults 50 years and up enter their best years, they shouldn’t have to compromise on life. Evolving germs and viruses make immunity more important than ever, especially for older adults who are most susceptible.  Mead Johnson is proud to introduce PROVITAL Immuna Plus: an enhanced adult milk designed to boost immunity and complement a healthy and active lifestyle,” said Matthew Davis, Marketing Director of Reckitt Philippines.

 

New PROVITAL Immuna Plus is available on Lazada and Shopee and in leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide.

Legarda is the first national candidate to file COC at 8 am, seeks re-election as Senator OCTOBER 1, 2021

Three-term Senator, now Deputy Speaker , Loren Legarda filed her candidacy as Senator at the Sofitel Tent in Pasay City early morning today.

Legarda currently serves as member of the House of Representatives, representing the Lone District of the Province of Antique.  Prior to her election to the current position in May 2019, she was a three-term Senator and chaired the Committees on Finance, Foreign Relations, economic affairs, environment and Climate Change, among others.   She has authored numerous laws currently being used during the pandemic, and, as Finance Chair for four years, ensured the funding of vital government programs aimed at improving the lives of Filipinos and making such programs more accessible to the people.

“Our pandemic recovery should respond to the health needs of our people and on our economic recovery and should be attuned to the climate pathway as we are also dealing with the climate crisis. With my 20 years of experience as Senator and my stint as Representative of the Lone District of Antique, I am confident that I can do much more to help solve the twin crisis, for the welfare of the Filipino people,” Legarda said

Legarda, who previously topped the Senate race twice, in 1998 and 2007, explained that she will be campaigning for the future generations and will continue to push for the advocacies she has always espoused for decades now.

“More jobs and livelihood, quality education, efficient healthcare system, stronger environmental protection and cultural preservation – these are what I have always championed since I was first elected Senator in 1998 and these are what I will continue to prioritize, given a fresh start in the Senate in 2022. I would like to continue what I have started and do much more –  provide for the needs of all Filipinos, bring the government programs closer to them especially to the marginalized and vulnerable, and ensure an inclusive, equitable, resilient and sustainable growth and recovery for all,” Legarda concluded.

Breathe healthy, eat healthy, and exercise regularly with these Xiaomi smart products

If there’s anything the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us, it is the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. From a healthy diet to regular exercise, and even making sure our homes are sanitized, the frequent quarantines have given us plenty of time to examine our lifestyles so we can be more fit and be more energized to face the stresses of the new normal. 

 

To help us create a healthier home, global consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company Xiaomi has developed a suite of products designed to help improve our well-being during this critical time. Read on to find out the different ways we can improve our health with Xiaomi’s smart and cost-efficient tech products!

Breathe Healthy

 

With many Filipinos being asked to stay indoors to help prevent the spread of the virus, it is important to make sure that the air one breathes is free from germs. An air purifier would definitely be a smart home investment at this point and the Mi Air Purifier 3H (PHP 8,490) comes with the latest technology to help purify the air inside one’s home. 

 

Among its features are a high-precision laser PM sensor that detects microscopic particulates and reports changes in room air quality in real time and an integrated 360 degree 3-layer filter. The first layer removes hair, dust, cotton fibers and other large particles. The second layer consists of a premium High Efficiency filter that effectively eliminates 99.97% of bacteria, viruses, cigarette smoke, PM2.5, pollen, dust, pet dander, and other allergens as small as 0.3 microns from the air while the third layer is an active carbon filter that absorbs formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful gases.

 

Perfect for medium and large rooms, it can effectively 6,330 liters of purified air per minute in 21-37 sq. meter room. It’s also easy to use with an OLED Touch Display so owners can switch to the mode they need (Sleep, Auto, Favorite, Low, Medium and High level) and also comes with APP+AI smart voice control by linking it to your Google Home, allowing you to keep track of air quality in your home at all times and access it remotely. 

 

Eat Healthy

 

Another important aspect of overall wellness is making sure what you put on your plate is good for one’s body. Aside from switching to leaner proteins and eating green, changing to healthier food preparation is another way to maximize the vitamins in one’s food.  

 

Enter the Mi Air Fryer 3.5L (PHP 2,990), which makes it easier to cook healthy by lessening the oil and fat during food prep. It comes with 360° heated air circulation for delicious food that is low in fat and cooks quickly – and if one wants to check on the cooking, simply pull out the basket to pause and one can monitor the cooking status of one’s dish. The smart functions also make this a great option for busy moms and dads as one can pre-set the fryer and have a hot meal waiting for the family when one gets home. Cleaning is a breeze as the air fryer is wear resistant and has a non-stick surface.

 

The Mi Air Fryer is a great value because it is so multifunctional – it also works as a yogurt maker, fruit dryer and can even stand in as a microwave oven and electric oven. 

 

 

Exercise Regularly

 

While the quarantine may prevent one from going to the gym, there are plenty of ways to get some exercise while indoors, from checking out YouTube videos or doing more chores. One can also keep track of our fitness regimen with the Mi Band 6, the Mi Watch or the Mi Watch Lite.

 

The No. 1 Wearable in the World, the Mi Band 6 (PHP comes with a 40% larger dynamic AMOLED touch screenand offers a total of 30 fitness modes (19 are new), including activities like HIIT, Basketball, Boxing, and Zumba. Exercise duration, calories burned, and heart rate are clearly visible at a glance, making for more efficient exercise sessions.

 

The Mi Band 6 also comes with embedded SpO2 sensors and PPG biosensors to monitor your oxygen levels and heart rate during cardio workouts and includes REM and nap sleep monitoring that tracks your sleep quality. It even keeps track of your stress levels and gives suggestions for easing and recovering from stress. Daily health intelligence reports are delivered to your Mi FIT or Mi Wear App.

 

The Mi Band 6 comes with a long-lasting125mAh battery and magnetic charging. It fully charges in only 2 hours with convenient USB magnetic charging that snaps securely on or off and offers long lasting battery life with up to 14 days of standby time. 

 

Or if you’re looking for a fitness tracker with even more features, the Mi Watch (PHP 4,990) is a fantastic choice. It comes with a staggering 117 exercise modes, empowering all kinds of active lifestyles. It also offers round-the-clock monitoring of many essential health metrics, including accurate heart rate tracking and blood oxygen level monitoring, and additional indicators on users’ sleep cycles, stress levels, and energy levels to ensure comprehensive awareness of one's health. 

 

Plus, it has a large 1.39” AMOLED display to ensure a clear view of essential information, and an outstanding 16-day battery life* from its 420mAh battery after just two hours of charge, so users only need to plug it in twice a month to receive over two weeks of uninterrupted activity.

 

Those looking for a more compact version can opt to get the Mi Watch Lite (PHP 2,490) – it comes with a stylish 1.4” inch TFT LCD color display and comes with over 120+ watch faces. It has a built-in GPS and GLONASS to capture wider signal coverage, providing better accuracy and faster positioning to map running routes and navigate the outdoors. It also comes with professional grade health monitoring like heart rate monitoring, sleep detection and even guided breath training to help one cope with stress. 

 

Equipped with a 230mAh battery, the Mi Watch Lite offers up to 9 days of battery life and only requires 2 hours of charging to be fully charged.

Here’s a quick adulting checklist for all you independent millennials

Were you born between 1981 to 1996? If you answered ‘yes,’ then you’re a millennial! Millennials experienced life before smartphones, social media, and the internet, while also living and thriving in the current digital age. Although millennials sometimes get an undeserved bad rap, this generation, in fact, displays high levels of maturity and responsibility—they’re socially aware, financially conscious, and tech-savvy. 

Do you consider yourself a financially independent millennial? Here’s a quick adulting checklist for all you independent millennials: 

 

You pay your household and utility bills on time. 

Tired of getting late notices for your bills? Now, you are more responsible with your spending and settle all your financial obligations on time. Through ShopeePay, you can pay for your utility bills right from the comforts of your home and enjoy up to 25% cashback. These include companies such as Meralco, Maynilad, Globe, Smart, PLDT, SkyCable, and many more. 

You have enough to give to your family.

In Filipino culture, it’s considered an act of love and a way to show gratitude when children extend monetary support to their parents. With enough savings, you can give back to your parents by helping them financially and even have sufficient funds for yourself. Sending money to your loved ones is easy and free with ShopeePay. To transfer money, just click “Transfer” on your ShopeePay wallet and input the recipient. You can also make your transfers more special with themed virtual cards! Before transferring cash, make sure that your ShopeePay is verified.

You have your own place.

...and you’re way ahead of your rent. There’s nothing more satisfying than being able to afford your own place where you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Did you get a loan to fund your apartment’s security deposit? Through ShopeePay, you can settle your loans on time and with ease from third-party lenders such as Dragonloans, Home Credit, SkyPay, and Cashalo.

You know where to find the best deals.

You’re practical and are always on the lookout for the best deals out there. With ShopeePay, you can maximize discounts, cashback, and “Buy 1, Take 1” promos at thousands of partner merchants nationwide. You also don’t miss out on ₱1 deals which can be used for adulting essentials like groceries, food, and gas. ShopeePay partner merchants include Puregold, Potato Corner, Seaoil, Lawson, National Bookstore, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Tiger Sugar, and more.

You donate to charitable causes. 

Another Filipino trait most millennials possess is generosity. Even with the global situation right now, you’re still giving towards others. ShopeePay lets you donate to these partner organizations: Caritas, Gawad Kalinga, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross Philippines, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Save Philippine Seas, Save The Children, UNICEF, Virlanie Foundation, World Vision, and many more.

PLDT Home and Viu connects its subscribers with their favorite heroines with unlimited and uninterrupted access

No matter how ordinary our lives seem to be, we are the heroines in our own stories.

 

Such is the inspiring narrative written in many K-dramas and perhaps is one of the many reasons for the genre’s enduring popularity. Whether intellectually or emotionally, no matter the age, K-drama fans relate so well with these fierce femmes on their favorite shows.

 

With PLDT Home and Viu, Filipino Hallyu fans can connect more with their fave K-drama  heroines with no interruptions. PLDT Home offers unlimited access to the best K-drama series and films for a better K-viewing experience Filipinos can all enjoy at home!

 

Need a guide on which K-drama shows have the best plots featuring empowered female characters? Read on!

 

Find the best version of yourself like Kim Mi-so from “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim”

It may be hard to find courage to leave a situation when you no longer feel fulfilled but take your cues from Kim Mi-so--she’s the perfect secretary of a very demanding and spoiled boss and yet when the situation no longer works for her, she decided that she’ll quit and take that time to reassess about what she really wants to do with her life. In the same way, those who are longing to figure things out and take charge of your life, you may want to keep tabs on this self-love queen. 

 

Never be afraid of admitting you’re wrong and setting it right a la No Seung-hye from “Sky Castle”

No Seung-hye may have started out like other mothers in Sky Castle—demanding and perfectionist kind of parent. But as she learns how destructive her husband’s stance is to her children, she decides to stand up against him and put her children’s happiness a priority. Her journey towards self-realization reminds women who may be going through the same struggles that they can change things around, and do things better. 

 

Find your inner strength like Do Bong-soon from “Strong Woman Do Bong-soon”

Don't be fooled by her petite frame and nerdy personality, Do Bong-soon wields superhuman physical strength that can terrify any living wrestler. But what is remarkable is how she uses her power to help other people suffering injustice like a bus driver being harassed by gangsters while working toward her dream of creating her own video game where she is the main character because there’s always time to do a good deed while chasing your dreams.

Always choose to do the right thing like Kang Kwon-joo from “Voice 4”

Kang Kwon-joo is a person with a very strong sense of justice and uses her enhanced hearing abilities to solve crimes, even one from her own childhood. But despite all the heartbreaking revelations and heinous crimes, Kang Kwon-joo reminds her golden team (and herself) that one does not have to become a monster to beat one, a very important lesson to live by. 

Never let society define your happiness a la Bae Ta-mi from “Search: WWW”

Women finding success in only one of two things (say, career versus romance) is a tired story. Bae Ta-mi, a headstrong director of a web portal company proves throughout the show that she, too, can be as passionate and hardworking when it comes to matters of the heart. She basically lives the mantra: Why choose one if you can be good at both?

 

Stand up and keep going a la Choi Ae-ra from "Fight for My Way"

Choi Ae-ra’s dream is to become a TV/sports/radio announcer. After so many attempts, she faced a lot of rejections and landed a front desk job at a local mall. Despite the failures, she remains optimistic—facing her every day with perseverance and learning one life lesson after another. No hopia vibes ever from this go-getter!
