Vita Cubes: The Healthier Candy Alternative

August 15, 2015

Like any ordinary kid, my sons love candies. I don't want them to be deprived of eating those sweets because they are part of growing up. All I do is limit their amount of candy intake due to health reasons.

Eating too many candies can cause tooth decay, obesity, and blood sugar spikes. But when eaten in moderation, sweets also have a place in a balanced diet. One of the best things to do is to look for healthier alternatives if your family is a sweet tooth and can't let the day pass without sweets.

In August 2, Mommy Bloggers Philippines and Rebisco Philippines Corporation invited us to a fun-filled event that made us bond with our kids and learn about Vita Cubes, fruit-flavored jelly candies that are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals aside from being yummy!

Kuya and I love all flavors! They taste like real fruits, and have the right sweetness and jelly consistency. They are kinda addicting too but we don't feel guilty munching them due to their health benefits.

I also asked Kuya to bring some for sharing with his classmates. I probed him after school about his classmates' feedback. He said that they loved them and even asked him where to purchase them.

Let me give you a backgrounder of Vita Cubes.

What are Vita Cubes Fruit Flavored Jelly Candies?

Vita Cubes Fruit Flavored Jelly Candies come in SINGLES (Php1.00 per piece) that may be bought in sari-sari stores, supermarkets, and local grocery stores.

They may be bought per box containing 10 pieces of 50-gram packs or per individual 50-gram pack. The suggested retail price of a 50-gram pack is Php12.00.

Vita Cubes' packaging is so neat and simple but enticing, easy to slip on a small bag or pocket, perfect for baon in school or while traveling. All the necessary information about the product---nutrition facts, ingredients, manufacturer, manufacturing, and expiration dates, are found on the packaging.

Vita Cubes are available at all Mercury Drug outlets, SM Supermarkets, Robinsons Supermarkets, Waltermart, Landmark, Puregold, Mini Stop, and other local grocery stores.

Yummy has never been this healthy and healthy has never been this yummy with Vita Cubes!

My Initial Trial of ATC Evening Primrose Garnered Positive Results!

August 15, 2015

This week has been so stressful for me due to the demands of my home based biz. I'm still able to cope up despite feeling tired most of the time because I'm happy with what I do. Added to having sleepless nights, the onset of contact dermatitis and premenstrual syndrome is bugging me. I am experiencing skin itchiness and redness while having excruciating pain on my lower abdomen and breasts.

Getting a bag of natural supplements from ATC Health Care is so timely. I don't want to be dependent on taking antihistamine and mefenamic acid to lessen the itchiness and pain. Among the stash that have I received, ATC Evening Primrose suits my immediate need.

It also helps alleviate hot flashes caused by menopause and reduces symptoms of eczema and dermatitis. Evening Primrose is not only used in alleviating premenstrual syndrome, it's also best for the skin. You may go HERE to know the complete facts about ATC Evening Primrose (other ingredients, uses, health benefits, and dosage) and why it is considered as "The Supplement for Women". You are going to be amazed on how it does wonders to women's health.

Believe it or not, after a few minutes of taking ATC Evening Primrose, my skin itchiness and PMS were gone and I was able to go back to work. I also had a good sleep last night. I felt refreshed and well-rested as I woke up this morning. I felt great!

ATC Evening Primrose is available at Mercury Drug and all leading drugstores nationwide for Php6.00 per soft gel capsule. You'll say goodbye to PMS and dermatitis the healthier way, promise!

Lessen Stress at School with the New “Amino Fres-C”

August 13, 2015

School is a wonderful place to explore and learn new things but parents are well-aware that this place can also be a major source of stress for kids. A school day begins and ends with passing through bumpy roads and enduring slow-moving traffic. Kindergarteners are not excused from pushing trolleys that carry heavy loads. Students have to juggle various seat works, assignments, recitations and quizzes for 8 to 9 subjects.

In a nutshell, going to school is eternally beneficial but it is hard work!

Parents can instill the value of diligence and patience to lessen the hurdles kids face at school. Feed them with knowledge that can widen their understanding and sharpen their minds. Be involved in their school life. Assist in checking if assignments and projects are done correctly and completely and be on guard for any emotional or physical traumas they might be experiencing within and outside school premises. Extracurricular activities can also help build self-esteem and develop healthy social life for most school children as they learn to interact with other people.

Being sick or sickly is a big burden to students as they need the strength and energy to keep up with the daily demands of school. Exercise and good diet are essential in maintaining physical well-being. Parents must take time to engage their kids in fun physical activities and prepare delicious and healthy meals.

Responsible parents naturally go for safe and quality ingredients, but to make meals more enjoyable and nourishing for school children, they need to introduce variety of food ingredients and expand cooking methods from only frying to also sautéing, steaming, blanching and boiling. If frying is unavoidable, it is recommended to observe proper frying temperature (365-375'F) to decrease oil absorption. Test by dropping a small piece of food into the oil; the temperature is right if the piece of food rises above the oil within 3-5 seconds.

The new “Amino Fres-C” Instant Juice Drink Mix is a great addition to kids’ baon. This is the only powdered juice drink that is packed with Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) with Glutamine and Arginine. These specific amino acids are building blocks of protein that maintain energy levels, support muscle growth and repair, and toughen immune system – making this drink perfect for sustaining kids’ demanding schedule at school. “Amino Fres-C” is 70% less calories compared to other juice brands, so they get to enjoy the real fruit taste of its orange, pineapple and mango variants, without the unnecessary calories.

The new “Amino Fres-C” is available in local supermarkets for only PhP 8.00 per 1 liter pack.

Here's Amino Fres-C's 2015 TVC:

Helping Your Child with Growth Hormones by Nick Stokes

August 03, 2015

Our children are the most precious thing that we have. Even a person with a cold heart can’t fight against their charm. Of course, parents always try to do the best for their children. All of this makes it that much harder when we realize that a child might be suffering from a disease or condition which can potentially change its life for worse. With all these different problems which may happen to a child, one of the most realistic threats is low height or low growth. Although it may seem naive in comparison to some other conditions, low height can negatively impact child’s confidence and it can even lead to insecurity in later years.

First, we need to measure our child in order to see if the child has a problem with height. If the child is smaller than its peers, it is safe to say that the child has issue with its height. This can happen at any age but the causes may vary. When child is really small, the problem with height is usually caused by malnutrition. Most of the children who are below average don’t have any disturbances. In fact, low height is usually only genetic; their parents and grandparents are probably small in stature. Unfortunately, in some cases, there may be a pathological cause behind low height and low growth in general. This may be caused by bowel inflammation, sensitivity to gluten, thyroid hormone, different chromosome disorders and other issues. Some of these issues can be cured while the some are permanent conditions. For example, you can use hormonal supplements for thyroid. Besides this hormone, there are other drugs which can supplement lack of the other hormones such as oxytocin nasal spray or oxytocin sublingual drops.

Growth hormones improve speed at which the child is growing, they regulate fat imbalance existing in body, increase in body tissue density, increase of muscle mass in comparison to fat tissue. During the first year of this therapy, child can grow around one centimeter per month, during second year seven to eight centimeters and later, when the condition stabilizes, the child will grow normally for its age. It needs to be mentioned that the growth hormone does not affect child’s puberty. Even though child may be using these hormones, they will not influence the growth of sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristic. So, even if child takes above mentioned medicine, it will not impact any other aspect of child life.

As soon as parents notice that their child is lagging behind other children in terms of growth, they need to consult with pediatrician. Like any other medical condition or issue, you need to act promptly in order to prevent any long term damage to child’s body. During the treatment, pediatrician will measure the high of the child as well as six months after the first testing. After that, doctor will be able to conclude if the child is growing properly and if he or she needs additional growth hormone. Any potential issues with child should be discovered before it starts going to school.
