LifeFood has carefully chosen ingredients to help Pinoys have a healthier heart and move more

There are many factors that influence our health and well being. Some of these can be controlled or modified such as diet and lifestyle, while other factors are caused by age, gender, and genes. And these affect how we perform every day, which may result to a prolonged impact and prevent us from living life to the fullest. The National Nutrition Council has pointed out that Filipinos are following diets high in fat and simple sugars and less of fruits and vegetables, which may have harmful effects to our heart. It added that typical Pinoys lack physical activity, which may have been worsened by common conditions like joint pain or rayuma.

 

LifeFood, a line of food supplements with natural ingredients derived from plants or marine life, can help. It offers products that have been carefully curated to support the specific health needs of Filipinos like maintaining cholesterol levels for a healthier heart and helping with inflammation and pain so we can move more. Here are some LifeFood-approved natural ingredients that can help with health issues that affect many Filipinos: 

 

Curcumin. Primarily found in turmeric or luyang dilaw that’s commonly added to adobong dilaw and ginataang manok, curcumin can be used for managing general inflammation to help address osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis that both cause joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. It also helps provide pain relief from these conditions as well as muscle aches and back pains. LifeFood’s Curcumin contains Meriva®, a branded ingredient that provides 29x better absorption compared to other curcumin supplements.

 

Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin, which gives seafood like salmon and certain algae its red color, is said to be one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, which are substances that can help prevent or slow down cell damage. It contains strong anti-aging molecules that are 500 times stronger than Vitamin E and 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C. LifeFood’s Astaxanthin contains AstaReal, naturally derived from the algae Haematococcus pluvialis, and has the highest dosage available in the Philippines at 12mg.

 

Citrus peels. It’s been known that citrus fruits have multiple beneficial nutrients. In fact, citrus peel can help in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. LifeFood offers Sytrinol®, a proprietary blend of citrus peel (Citrus sinensis L.) and palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis) extracts, that helps manage cholesterol levels without the adverse side effects of commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs—and also backed by 12 years of research. 

 

A brand of Synnovate Pharma Corporation, the naturals division of Unilab, LifeFood goes through a meticulous process of choosing the best ingredients that are supported by clinical research to prove their efficacy and to ensure that consumers get all the value and benefits each of these products provide. They are also standardized and undergo stringent product testing following pharma standards, making these supplements extra safe for every consumer. 

 

Living our life to the fullest starts by taking good care of all aspects of our health. With supplements that are proven safe and effective and help with our specific health issues, talagang mas magiging buhay na buhay ang buhay! 

 

LifeFood Curcumin and Astaxanthin are available at leading Mercury Drug stores nationwide.

The Real-Life Home Alone House is Now Bookable on Airbnb

This season, fans are set to have their dreams come true with an overnight stay in the original Home Alone house. While the McCallisters are away on their annual trip (all of them but the pet tarantula, this time), four guests will get the opportunity to relive their favorite scenes from the holiday classic and let their inner eight-year-olds run free for the evening without the interruption of pesky intruders.

 

Big brother Buzz McCallister will join thousands of Hosts on Airbnb by opening the doors to his family’s Chicago home as the ultimate gift this month. Following the release of Home Sweet Home Alone, the all-new holiday film now streaming on Disney+, this Airbnb stay offers a trip down memory lane and an unforgettable way to celebrate the holidays.

 

“You may not remember me as particularly accommodating,” says Buzz, “but I’ve grown up, and I’d be happy to share my family home – my pizza, even – with you this holiday season. Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time.”

 

Buzz will host a one-night stay* for up to four guests at the McCallister residence on Dec. 12 for only $25**. 

 

During their stay, guests will enjoy:

●      A cozy holiday scene with twinkling lights and a perfectly trimmed tree in celebration of the season.

●      Booby traps galore (but don’t worry – you’ll be setting them, not sidestepping them!).

●      Surprisingly searing splashes of aftershave and ample opportunity to scream into the mirror.

●      All the ‘90s favorites their hearts desire, including plenty of Chicago’s finest pizza and a candlelit dinner of microwavable Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.

●      A meet and greet with a real-life tarantula. 

●      A viewing of the film franchise’s newest holiday adventure, Home Sweet Home Alone.

●      A LEGO Ideas Home Alone set to take and build at home.

 

“We may all be older and wiser now, but we’re never too old for holiday hijinks,” Buzz said. “So this year, spend the holidays not-so-home-alone at my parents’ house.” 

 

‘Tis the season of giving, so in honor of the first-ever stay at the McCallister home, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital, which is dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life for each of its patients with complex conditions, disabilities, and chronic illness.

 

Those hoping to stay in the McCallister home should note that this stay’s rules require strict adherence with local COVID-19 guidelines. Onsite staff will follow applicable local, state and federal guidelines as well as Airbnb’s COVID-19 Safety Practices, which include wearing a mask and practicing social distancing when required by local laws or guidelines, and abiding by our five-step enhanced cleaning process. Guests are responsible for their own travel to and from Chicago.

 

Mischief makers can request to book this stay beginning Tuesday, Dec. 7 at 1 p.m. CT at airbnb.com/homealone.

 

*This one-night stay is not a contest 

**Plus taxes and fees

 

Airbnb is closely monitoring Chicago infection rates and government policies and will offer booking guests a $1,000 USD Airbnb travel credit if it becomes necessary to cancel the stay.

The young and young-at-heart can upgrade their style this holiday season with a variety of options to choose from.

 

The preppy vivo Y12A and Y12s gets more affordable with its new price of P5,999, from its original price of P6,499. Through this smartphone, people who love taking snaps and photos can capture their beautiful moments every day, with its AI Dual Camera that comprises a 13MP rear main camera and an f/2.2 large aperture.

Multitasking can also be smoother with the vivo Y15A. It has a built-in memory of 4GB RAM, plus 1GB Extended RAM. The extended RAM allows the phone to “borrow” memory virtually to allow the phone to process data from apps faster.

The vivo Y15s also goes on sale. Succeeding the vivo Y15A, this smartphone includes all the features of its previous model. It has an 8MP front camera, so selfie masters can always have an enlightened beauty. It also is the slimmest and lightest phone in its price range, but still holds the powerful 5000mAh battery. Gamers can win every battle with this smartphone embodying a 6.51-inch Halo FullView™ Display with HD+ (1600×720) resolution. With this, they can enjoy their games and streams with a wide and immersive view. The vivo Y15s will be sold on Shopee’s BIG Christmas Sale for only P6499 from its P6999 regular price.

 

This holiday, people can give themselves the gift of capturing real moments and meaningful connections with their loved ones, through technologies that help them create beautiful memories. The vivo Y76 5G features a slim sophistication being the thinnest 5G smartphone in the market to date. This beauty exudes fine craftsmanship, aesthetics, and power, by giving users the ‘Big-screen’ Experience with its Full HD+ resolution, and the strong signal of the 5G network. The Y76 5G will be on sale for P15,999 from its original price of P16,999.  To make the deal more exciting, buyers will also get a 500 off voucher, a total of P1,500 worth of savings.
