Minola Premium Coconut Oil: Healthy Option For The Heart

With all the health hazards we face each day, staying in top shape is number one priority. It would not matter what age you are because life expectancy is getting shorter. Also, heart disease is not so common anymore. Lifestyle is a huge factor and that is the reason I am picky about what I eat. Whether we accept it or not, fatty and oily food is hard to stay away from. Just thinking about Bagnet, roasted pig and the likes makes me drool. Eating delicious food becomes a reward for many after a hard day’s work.

Filipino food, in general, is prepared using cooking oil and it is quite hard to choose which one is safe to use. There are a wide variety of cooking oils from plant sources such as olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, peanut oil and other vegetable oils, as well as animal-based oils like butter and lard. Having been invited to attend a talk gave me an opportunity to learn the truth.

“Coconut oil: The Truth Shall Make You Healthy”. The forum was given by Dr. Fabian M. Dayrit who is a professor from Ateneo de Manila University, the Acting-President of National Academy of Science and Technology, and Chair & Scientific Advisory Comittee for Health, Asian and Pacific Coconut Community. Now, that’s what I call credentials!

Dr. Dayrit started with a brief history of the Coconut. The Coconut tree originated from the Palm Family with the scientific name Arecaceae and is the only member of the genus Cocos. After a process of natural selection over approximately 80 million years, the coconut developed the capacity to spread across the ocean. It spread across the ocean and survives up to 120 days floating in seawater making its way to the land. The origins of the coconut is Southeast Asia and South India. According to Philippine history, Copra and Coconut oil were exported to Europe to be used as raw material for soap and Margarine.

The second part of the program discussed about saturated fat and heart disease. Saturated fats provides a higher risk of acquiring Cardiovascular Heart Disease. It raises the cholesterol level in the blood. In addition, saturated fats can be found in animal food products such as lard, butter, palm oil, meat, and cheese. If not consumed moderately, eating these kinds of food will increase cholesterol level and increase the rate of mortality.

Perhaps the most important part of the talk was about Frying with unsaturated oils. Unknown to many, it produces Free Radicals and Trans Fat. It also increases the risk of Stroke, inflammation, and Cancer. To prove a point, studies show that there is a higher rate of Obesity in some places in the Pacific like Nauru, Cook Islands, Samao & US due to huge consumption of margarine, butter, chicken, and meat causing a higher incidence of heart problems.

The last part of the session was comprised mainly of the advantages of using Coconut oil. It contains Lauric acid which is present in Minola premium Coconut oil. Minola has SATURATED fatty acids that is easier to digest. Saturated fatty acids is not stored as fat which means MINOLA PREMIUM COCONUT OIL IS SAFE TO USE. Coconut oil is proven to be safe and beneficial to our well-being.

The insights I learned from the discussion are essential. This forum provided crystal clear information on which kind of cooking oil to use. Little things that we change in our lifestyle makes a big impact on our health.

Minola Premium cooking oil had been one of the staple pieces on every Filipino modern day families. The benefits of Minola had strengthened our relationship with our loved ones as the benefits gears towards achieving a healthy heart.

BO’S COFFEE, THE ALL-FILIPINO CAFE, OPENS ITS NEWEST BRANCH AT UP TOWN CENTER

I fell in love with Bo’s coffee ever since I first tasted their mixed berry tea at their Mall of Asia Branch. What I also love about Bos coffee is their advocacy and continuing support for our locally produced coffee beans. Thus when you buy a cup of coffee it gives ample support to our local coffee farmers.

Upon entering bos coffee I was quickly greeted with a warm and pleasant smile from the staff. Filipino hospitality was exhibited in the way they deliver their services. The aroma of the coffee is inviting and the taste is simply exemplary.

Another branch of Bo’s Coffee has opened in UP Town Center to meet the demands of its growing number of customers. UP Town center is the first and only university town center in the Philippines.Bo’s coffee is a 100% Filipino-owned coffee shop which just opened its 93rd outlet.

“There has been a growing demand to open more cafes so we selected UP Town Center, which is strategically located in a bustling community that’s full of individuals from all walks of life, to address those needs,” Coochy Mamaclay, Bo’s Coffee VP for Brand & Marketing, said.

“We want everyone to feel the Bo’s Coffee experience as they look for a nook and haven where students, friends, and families can study, bond, and share stories in a cozy and feel-at-home atmosphere over their favorite local brew,” Mamaclay noted.

A unique way of providing rewards to its loyal partners is given by the prestigious coffee shop. Bo’s coffee is generous enough to reward the first 100 customers with every store inaugurated. The first in line at the opening will get one cup of coffee every day for a year. That is 365 cups in total! The 2nd in line will be rewarded with 6 months worth of coffee and the 3rd in line will receive 3 months worth of coffee.

Each store of Bo’s coffee features local artistry and craft. The chandeliers are designed by world-famous designer Kenneth Cobonpue while the chairs are colorfully upholstered by ANTHILL Fabric Gallery.

Light Network goes Digital!

Light Network channel 33 is achieving greater innovation as it begins its official broadcast on Digital Television this coming March 2017! Through this exciting breakthrough, viewers in Mega Manila will soon be able to experience a clearer and highly-improved video and sound quality of Light Network in their televisions. Once official broadcast begins, people can now watch Light Network anytime and anywhere because not only will the channel be available on digital boxes and digital-ready televisions, but it could also be accessed through handheld devices such as tablets, smart phones and other gadgets. The “digitalization” is the process of converting our current Analog Television broadcasting into Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), which simply means that our existing television technology will be transformed into an upgraded, higher quality of broadcast system. Through this digital improvement, Light Network will soon be available on multiple digital viewing platforms—broadening its horizon among the television programming sphere.

In an interview with Engr. Antonio Soriano, the Vice President of Technical Operations for Light Network, he said that he is excited for the upcoming Digitalization of Light Network, because the channel had long since been prepared for this huge digital switchover. “Tayo ang unang nag-convert from Analog to Digital transmitter. Wala nang test -broadcast. Official broadcast na agad.” He also said that not all channels are ready to make the digital “switch”, making Light Network the first channel in the Philippines to migrate to the exciting domain of Digital TV, while maintaining its frequency on Channel 33.

According to the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), once the innovative technology of Digitalization is fully implemented, it would not only deliver better image and sound quality to our television channels, but it would also be able to provide features such as datacasting, multi-channel platform, One Seg, and most importantly, the Emergency Warning Broadcast System (EWBS), which is used to transmit nationwide warning announcements in times of earthquakes, tsunamis, or other high-alert disasters.

Engr. Antonio Soriano further stated that these features are just few of the many benefits of Digital TV. According to him, through the other upcoming advancements in Digitalization, television will finally regain its essential standing in the lives of people, as compared to the rising media usage for mobile devices. “Yes. Maibabalik ang TV bilang prime Media tool,” he concluded.

HEY SUGAR WAXING SALON OPENS IN SM CALAMBA

All Natural and Safest Waxing Salon opens in SM Calamba
Living in the tropics can have its ups and downs. On one hand, year-round sun and fun; on the other, maintaining your body for year-round sunning and funning can be exhausting.

When you have the option to slip into your shorts and head to the beach or pool any time of the year, the goal is to maintain skin that’s smooth, no matter what season, which can certainly be sorted out by an appointment to your nearest waxing salon. But for Hey Sugar! Waxing Salon, it’s as much about giving clients what they need while making sure that they allow them to feel fabulous about themselves as well.

Hey Sugar makes all-natural and 100 % Sugar grooming options accessible to clients of all shapes and sizes. They use 100% naturally hypoallergenic sugar wax that minimizes side effects such as allergic reactions and chemical irritations caused by traditional wax—a gentler but no less effective way to keep your skin smooth and hair-free.

Hey Sugar!’s interiors are renowned for being warm, inviting and discreet. Clients can walk in and expect a clean and sterilized environment ideal for the sensitive beauty routines that they are about to undergo, while still feel like they are about to get pampered and taken care of.

And best of all, they can rest easy knowing they are in the hands of expert aestheticians who were trained to deliver only the best results. For newbies, this means you can easily ask your aesthetician any question about the process and advantages of sugar waxing and get a clear answer; for veterans, you know you will walk out of your appointment knowing there’s no other destination that can give you the same results using all-organic hair-removal methods.

“We strive to bring reliable and fast services, but also connect with our customers—it’s a very personal grooming procedure, after all, and we are dedicated to making customers happy and comfortable. Clients expect quality service, superior treatments and affordable prices but not at the expense of a warm and comfortable environment—and that’s exactly what we have waiting for them here,” explains Arvin A. Amaro, Hey Sugar’s Marketing Head.

At the end of the day, everyone deserves some sugar…and there’s no better place to get it than by heading to Hey Sugar! SM Calamba.

Hey Sugar Waxing Salon National Hair Free Day

The Best Way To Celebrate National Hair Free Day Like most women, you’re probably already familiar with the concept of waxing. And like a lot of them, you probably also think that the process doesn’t sound very appealing.

Still, waxing is a standard part for a lot of women’s grooming routine; and they will book a session, show up for their appointment, go through the whole (seemingly) painful procedure, and emerge smooth and hair-free, without batting an eyelid.

Why do they go through it all? Because to be honest, waxing is not as excruciating as one might assume. It’s all a matter of choosing the right waxing salon to go to. For starters, a reputable salon should be able to take you through the process without causing anxiety, regardless if you’ve been doing this for years or you’re new to the whole thing.

They should be able to demonstrate why there’s no need to feel self-conscious and assure you that you’re in the hands of experts. The process is swift, and the aestheticians are trained to work in small, manageable sections and press on the skin as the wax is removed to help ease discomfort. After that, you’re ready to go. It’s all quite simple and straightforward.

And if you think you’re ready to take the plunge, then there’s no better time than April 3rd—when Hey Sugar!, the country’s premiere all-natural waxing destination, celebrates National Hair Free Day. For the occasion, you can visit any Hey Sugar branch between 10:00 am – 1:00 pm and you can get free underarm waxing and eyebrow threading for free.
