These health tips can help Filipinos live their best life this 2023

One in five Filipinos has already booked international trips this 2023. Not only that, but 44% of Filipinos are planning to travel two to four times this year.^[1] At the same time, the Department of Tourism (DOT) is targeting to have 4.8 million tourist arrivals in the country this year, twice the number of visitors in 2022.[2]

 

This means a lot of people will be going in and out of the country. We can expect more crowds and busier streets, especially during summer, which is one of the best times to travel because of the holidays and school vacations. If you are one of those looking to have an unstoppable year full of adventures, consider these four easy health tips:

Drink vitamins

 

Taking vitamins regularly can supplement a healthy diet and lifestyle.^[3] This is especially true for people going on vacation, who need to boost their immunity before and during their trip. Immune-boosting supplements like vitamins C and D, zinc, and probiotics can be taken three to five days before a trip and during^[4] to help travelers stay in tip-top shape.

 

Stay hydrated

 

Staying hydrated is important all year round. Getting enough water prevents infections, brings nutrients to cells, and ensures that organs are working optimally. Aside from these benefits, drinking the recommended amount of water each day is good for cognition, sleep quality, and mood.^[5] The amount of water needed per day varies per individual, but for the healthy ones, the recommended amount of water that men should drink daily is 15.5 cups, and 11.5 cups for women.^[6]

 

Drinking enough water before travel is recommended because flying can be dehydrating.^[7] Airplanes are kept at 10 to 20% humidity, a lower rate compared to normal environments that range from 35 to 65%. Lower humidity leads to dehydration.^[8]

 

Sleep well

 

Good sleep leads to improved health, mood, immune system, and brain performance.^[9] Seven to nine hours of continuous sleep is needed to feel refreshed.^[10] Maintain good sleep habits days before a flight to have enough energy for the trip.

 

Flying to countries with the same time zone or with just an hour or two difference is easy. When traveling across the world, it’s important to adjust to the day-night cycle at the destination.^[11] Stay up with the locals when the arrival time is during the day and sleep at night.

 

Get vaccinated

 

Vacations expose travelers to diseases, so timely immunizations through vaccinations are crucial. The flu is one of the most common infectious diseases and it is contagious. Each infected person can spread the disease to one or two more people.^[12]

 

Preventive healthcare is still the best protection since people can catch the flu at any time of the year. It’s also important to get a shot annually since flu vaccines change each year to match the current viruses.

 

Most of all, you wouldn’t want to miss all the fun you have planned for your trip if you get sick. Take it from GlaxoSmithKline Philippines' (GSK) latest flu disease awareness jingle, “But I Got the Flu[1] .” It’s a call to everyone to get your flu shots as soon as possible so you can be unstoppable - whether in having your best summer vacation yet, spending quality time with loved ones, or pursuing other passions in life - don’t let the flu stop you. All you need to do is consult your doctor to ensure that you’re in the right condition to do so.

 

“People are excited to make up for all the things that they missed at the height of the pandemic. Now that travel restrictions are looser and we can enjoy the best holiday destinations, it’s important to not let our guard down. We recommend that travelers take preventive measures so they can be unstoppable and enjoy their trips worry-free,” says Dr. Kevin Bautista, GSK Medical Affairs Manager.

Effortless Cooling: Elevate Chiller Maintenance with LG's Total Maintenance Service

In the realm of big commercial buildings, where maintaining optimal indoor climate and ensuring efficient cooling are paramount, the significance of centrifugal chillers cannot be overstated. These technological innovations possess the remarkable ability to provide reliable and energy-efficient cooling solutions on a grand scale. From towering skyscrapers to sprawling shopping malls, centrifugal chillers stand tall as the unsung heroes, quietly working behind the scenes to create comfortable environments and drive sustainability efforts.

SM Malls, one of the largest shopping chains in the world with over 90 malls, knows the importance of cooling. The SM North EDSA North Tower exemplifies how commercial cooling on a massive scale should be done. The whole building is designed to meet the rigorous standards of LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, which is the most widely used green building rating system.

 

The building itself is a sprawling 1.75 hectares, with a gross floor area of 33.4 hectares. Tasked with cooling the whole area is 9 units of centrifugal water cooler chiller at 1,000 TR each from LG. SM chose LG because the South Korean brand was the only supplier who could pass the efficiency of .519 kilowatt per ton. The centrifugal chiller achieves high efficiency through a two-stage Compressor. With an optimized two-stage compression cycle, energy efficiency has been improved and operation costs have been reduced as opposed to the previous one-stage centrifugal chiller. It also has a variable diffuser that provides wider operation range at a low-load condition, and prevents stall from discharge gas for stable operation. Stable operation also helps keep costs at bay with an excellent partial load system that maximizes energy even when the loads are very light.

 

Another major factor that contributes to LG’s commercial cooling success is its TMS or Total Maintenance Service. LG Total Maintenance Service allows LG to monitor HVAC devices in real-time no matter where the devices are located. This solution utilizes LG’s cloud solution to access data on system operations and performance. By monitoring systems 24 hours a day, engineers can perform predictive maintenance, which makes maintenance and repairs more time-efficient and reduces overall system down time. Solutions to system failures can then be prepared in advance and rapidly implemented to mitigate the need for multiple on-site visits by engineers. In addition, systems can be monitored and controlled remotely to maximize efficiency and save energy. Facility managers and service partners are also privy to system operation and performance data through detailed reports covering multiple sites. Facility managers or end users also gain access to their system through their PC or mobile device.

 

For large buildings and sprawling commercial complexes, HVAC is an important aspect that needs to be prioritized. These advanced cooling systems not only provide efficient and reliable temperature control but also play a pivotal role in reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability. With their ability to handle large cooling loads and adapt to varying demands, centrifugal chillers have revolutionized the way commercial buildings are cooled, offering enhanced comfort and cost-effectiveness. LG offers state-of-the-art commercial cooling technology together with an environmentally-sound approach, setting new standards for sustainability and efficiency.

 

LG air conditioning provides optimized solutions for every sector and climate with a wide range of cutting-edge systems that bring exceptional heating, ventilation and air conditioning performance to buildings worldwide. Through unmatched expertise and industry knowledge, LG responds directly to the needs of businesses seeking digitalized and eco-conscious HVAC solutions. LG is the partner your business has been looking for, and is well prepared to integrate our leading technology into day-to-day operations, supporting you and your business every step of the way.
