Enjoy these Breezy Weekend Activities with Your Kids

Kids nowadays are mostly engrossed with different types of gadgets as their way of having fun. But from time to time, it’s best for parents to let them pursue other pursuits, such as playing outdoors and being one with nature, which helps their physical and mental growth.




If you’re wondering what activities you could do with your children, we’ve rounded up some tried-and-true outdoor adventures which will surely have them enjoy a breezy day of fun ahead!


A good mix of loved ones, laughter, and engaging activity is hard to beat. Gather the kids, escape the house, and try one of these bonding activities that can be done with your kids.


Outdoor Scavenger Hunt



Having a plan can be helpful when you take your child outside to play. A scavenger hunt is a perfect engaging activity that teaches kids to use their senses in new ways and keeps them mindfully occupied. This is something you can do outside your home or in nearby parks. Incorporate what your kids are interested in, such as characters from their favorite tv series, to keep them hooked. Ensure your kids’ safety by checking around the vicinity and playing only in places that are well-kept, clean and fenced-in. Don’t forget to take extra precautions and use safety equipment such as helmets and protective gear.

Gardening


This activity doesn’t require a big garden for you to make it happen. Give your kid an easy introduction to nature by getting them involved in gardening from a young age. They’ll be physically and mentally exhausted in a healthy way, thanks to the meditative nature of this activity. While it's fun to get your hands dirty from time to time, remember to practice garden safety and proper hygiene, like washing your hands thoroughly after gardening even when wearing gloves.


Backyard Obstacle Course


For this, you can use any number of materials, such as foam blocks or stepping stones, but you can even create an obstacle course using only objects you find in nature but ensure that it will not cause a risk of falling or tripping. In either case, the result is enjoyment while developing important gross motor skills.

Bike Ride Around the Neighborhood


A classic bike ride is the perfect outdoor activity for families to enjoy together. Even younger kids, with supervision from their parents or guardian, may join in on the fun, whether you're taking them on the trails at a local park, exploring and admiring the houses in your neighborhood, or traveling just down the street. Keep in mind to wear biking safety gear, and parents should always look after their kids. Familiarize and follow road safety rules to ensure an enjoyable and safe ride.

Shopping at a Farmer’s Market


Before going to the farmer's market, ask your kids what they want for your home-cooked meals and create your shopping list. Involving kids in shared household tasks is a great way to bond and introduce basic helpful tasks to them. Get the kids immersed in picking out fruits and vegetables to make it an exciting and engaging activity. Let them explore as much as possible to learn new things along the way.

Have Fun With No Worries in Mind!


After all these recreational experiences, you can effortlessly bid farewell to any worries about stains, thanks to Breeze ActivBleach. Lab tests with mud and sweat stains on polyester fabric show that Breeze ActivBleach can loosen and provide easier stain removal during the clothes' first soak. Results often vary on stain intensity and other factors. So, plan out that next outdoor trip or activity and make your kid’s remaining vacation days last!


For more information about Breeze ActivBleach, visit Breeze Philippines' YouTube channel. Breeze Rose Gold is available on Unilever Home Care's Shopee and Lazada pages.

How Zinc Protects the Lungs

Wednesday, August 16, 2023

Zinc has always been regarded as an essential nutrient that can help enhance immune function. It’s known to ward off viruses and bacteria that can bring a host of illnesses including common respiratory issues.




In fact, a study published by the United States - National Institutes of Health (US-NIH) said it is probable that Zinc can help the lungs better fight off harmful particles, viruses, bacteria, and other disease-causing organisms by clearing the respiratory system's airways before they could reach the organ's delicate tissues.


"Zinc was shown to have a significant impact on viral infections through modulation of viral particle entry, fusion, replication, viral protein translation and further release for a number of viruses including those involved in respiratory system pathology," the study noted.


With the unpredictable weather patterns due to El Niño that’s further strengthened by climate change, it’s expected that many people are going to catch a cold, cough or flu this season.


To protect one’s lungs and improve immunity, people can rely on Solmux Advance Carbocisteine + Zinc from Unilab Inc., the country’s leading and most-trusted pharmaceutical company. It’s the first cough medicine in the Philippines, and likely in the world, to be fortified with Zinc.


An observational study done by an independent investigator showed that the combination of 500 mg Carbocisteine and 5 mg Zinc present in Solmux Advance Capsule has been proven to have reduced the symptoms of cough in 3 days and resolution in just 5.52 days.


Carbocisteine causes phlegm to be less thick and sticky and thus easier to cough up and expel, while Zinc has been found to play an important role in highly proliferating cells of the human body, like the immune system.




A line of over-the-counter cough medicines under the Unilab Consumer Health Group, Solmux Advance now offers Solmux Advance Suspension, which doubles the amount of Zinc after several studies demonstrated the benefits of zinc supplementation in respiratory infection and its symptoms.


Some studies showed that Zinc supplementation resulted in: 45% reduction in the incidence of acute lower respiratory tract infection; elderly patients with normal zinc concentrations from supplementation of Zinc (7mg) and essential vitamins had a shorter duration (less 1.5 days) of lower respiratory infection and antibiotic use; and cough duration reduced in subjects receiving zinc pooled estimate was 46% shorter duration.


The new Solmux Advance Suspension contains 27.44 mg of Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate for every 60-ml bottle. This means that every 10-ml dose of Solmux Advance Suspension has a potent combination of about 500 mg of Carbocisteine and 10 mg of Zinc.

Clara Benin explores dreamier soundscapes on new album, befriending my tears

Saturday, August 12, 2023

Clara Benin

The Filipino singer-songwriter teams up with acclaimed producers Sam Marquez, Tim Marquez, Gabba Santiago, and The Ringmaster on this album about self-acceptance and healing



Clara Benin finds the courage to embrace self-acceptance in the face of adversity on her sophomore studio album, befriending my tears—out today via OFFMUTE. The introspective record serves as the follow-up release to 2020’s Fragments, a 5-track EP that maps out different seasons of her life during the pre-pandemic days.

According to Clara Benin, that 9-track album takes listeners on a journey from the self to the soul in the bid to love, lose, and grow as individuals. 

“This album’s lyrical theme is learning to believe in yourself,” Benin explains. “You can surround yourself with all these people who love you and believe in you, but if you don't love yourself and believe in yourself first, you're just going to keep hurting inside. We all need to learn how to befriend our tears in order to heal.”

Enriching the shrewd sensitivity of her songwriting with dreamier, more expansive soundscapes and a refreshing musical direction that leans toward emo-tinged indie folk, the Filipino singer-songwriter collaborated with a variety of producers whose credits one would normally see outside of the mainstream vault. She enlisted producers such as Sam Marquez, Tim Marquez, Gabba Santiago, and The Ringmaster to improve and interpret some of the demos that she has arranged and produced herself. 

“Working on this record, I really learned how to be intentional with all the details and elements of production,” Benin shares. “I wanted every song to sound new and fresh to the listener’s ears, and I want the songs to not just have an emotional impact but a visceral impact as well, which is what song production can do.”

befriending my tears is led by her latest single “imposter syndrome,” which deals with self-doubt while navigating through all the uncertainties in life. Produced by Sam Marquez (Ena Mori, One Click Straight, Zild), the intricately detailed alt-pop jam is about Clara Benin coming to terms with her own insecurities. The release of the song is accompanied by a Josh Elefan-helmed visual that portrays Clara Benin as a completely dissociated person, “rediscovering connection through a friend that reached out to her.”

Other highlights in the album include the Gabba Santiago co-write “small town,” (featuring Gabba Santiago) and the rom-com-inspired tunes “blink” and “affable dork.”

Track List: 

1. imposter syndrome
2. small town
3. blink
4. different...
5. affable dork
6. momentary
7. keep still
8. darling, i've been there
9. don't hurt yourself trying to get it all back

Clara Benin’s new album, ‘befriending my fears’ is out now on all digital music platforms via OFFMUTE. Watch the music video here.

Feel the cool difference! Rohto, world no. 1 eye care brand, is now available in the Philippines

The Japanese brand introduces the first cooling eye drops in the country




Taking care of your eyes in the modern world isn’t easy: screens everywhere, eye-straining activities at work and at home, outdoor elements, and more present difficult challenges. How is anyone supposed to get relief from minor eye discomfort? Rohto, the number 1 eye care brand in the world, is now available in the Philippines!


As a Japanese brand that’s known for its innovative products with a signature cooling sensation, Rohto is bringing in the first-ever cooling eye drops in the country with Rohto Cool Eye Drops to deliver instant and effective relief from dry, irritated, or itchy eyes. It comes with Cooling Level 5 to introduce a fun and refreshing way to rejuvenate your eyes and provide them a soothing cool boost of comfort with each drop.


Use it whenever you experience eye-strain symptoms after long exposure to digital screens or after you’re exposed to irritants like smog, dust, wind, sun glare, and chlorinated water. It’s also good to have it handy to keep you awake if you’re embarking on a long drive or to prevent dry eyes whenever you’re staying in air-conditioned places like your office.




If you’re looking for something with a gentle moisturizing formula, try out Rohto Aqua Eye Drops, that also provides instant and effective relief from the same minor eye discomforts. Both Rohto variants effectively retain natural tears and moisture in the eyes to prevent eye surface dryness, deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cornea, wash out dust and debris from the eyes, and prevent bacteria and other germs from entering to give you all-day comfort. They can also be used even if you’re wearing contact lenses. In fact, eye drops offer a moisturizing protective veil that makes removing the lenses easier even after a long day.


The benefits of Rohto eye drops are not limited to their instant and effective cooling and moisturizing relief, they are also extremely safe to use. With over 100 years of experience producing and marketing eye drops and being the number 1 eye care brand in the world, Rohto is committed to maintaining superior formulation and high safety standards, backed by the credibility and expertise of Rohto Pharmaceutical Japan. The brand has developed a patented nozzle that allows you to effortlessly apply the eye drops from any angle—a stark contrast to typical containers that require tilting at a 90-degree angle for the droplets to fall.




It’s recommended to use Rohto Cool and Aqua Eye Drops five to six times per day. Apply 1 to 2 drops per eye each time you use it to get instant and effective relief!


Experience the cool difference and make eyecare a part of your daily habit with Rohto, now available at Watsons Online Shop and at a Watsons store near you for Php175 each.


Discover the refreshing world of Rohto eye drops and say bye to minor eye discomforts, follow Rohto on Facebook @rohtoph and Instagram @rohtoeyedropsph and visit their website at https://rohtoeyedrops.com.ph.

Keep your smile bright and healthy by brushing up on good oral habits

Glister, Amway’s oral care brand, shares dentist-recommended ways to strengthen overall health




From expressing ourselves to enjoying every delicious meal, we’ve got our mouth and teeth to thank but often take for granted. With how much wear and tear our teeth suffer, it isn’t surprising that they’re constantly exposed to factors that can help cause cavities, gum issues and even tooth loss.



Glister™, the popular dental care brand of entrepreneur-led health and wellness company Amway, makes a case for giving our teeth more attention, especially now that the Department of Health has revealed that at least 73 million Filipinos suffer from tooth decay.



General Dentistry & Orthodontics Dr. Anna May Carina, in fact, points out that certain foods and drinks that we usually enjoy today like soda, ice cream, cakes, and other sweet cravings take a toll on our oral health.



“When we consume too much of these foods and drinks, we’re not really helping our saliva do its job of clearing food debris away and neutralizing acids. They stick to your teeth for a longer time that only creates an oral environment where bacteria can thrive, increasing your risk of developing plaque, which can eventually strip your tooth’s protective enamel,” states Dr. Carina. “While we cannot completely remove all these foods and drinks from our lives, we can counter their impact on our dental health by diligently observing good oral hygiene.”



The dental care expert points out that the solutions are something people already know about but tend to take for granted. She underlines that brushing our teeth twice a day is the standard as this will help destroy or remove harmful bacteria inside the mouth and prevent tartar buildup before it hardens into position.


“This is something we all know, yet many brush their teeth without intention. If you really want to keep your teeth strong, brush them for at least two minutes each time and gently move the brush back and forth in short strokes. Make sure to brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of the teeth,” reminds Dr. Carina.


She also recommends using a soft-bristled brush that should be replaced after three or four months or when bristles are visibly worn out. Another thing to consider: toothpaste with just the right amount of fluoride. “Fluoride can give the teeth extra protection against decay. It doesn’t only prevent cavities; it can even reverse mild tooth damage. To get the full benefits of fluoride in your toothpaste, avoid rinsing your mouth immediately after brushing. Just spit out any excess toothpaste,” suggests Dr. Carina.


The expert then highlights another step that should be in everyone’s daily routine, flossing, which can remove the plaque below the gumline, reduce the risk of cavities, and prevent gingivitis.


“Flossing daily is something that a lot of people often overlook. It has a specific goal that brushing alone won’t achieve. It’s meant to remove the accumulation of plaque between the teeth and underneath the gums, where germs thrive,” emphasizes Dr. Carina. “If you bleed whenever you floss, this may be a sign of gingivitis, but keep at it. If your gingivitis is mild, flossing can help manage and reduce this over time.”


To help rinse food debris after flossing, the dentist recommends using a mouthwash. “Some think using mouthwash is unnecessary, but it does help reduce the number of harmful bacteria inside the mouth, which is essential in reducing plaque and even gum inflammation and infections. You can also use it at another time of the day, perhaps in the middle of the day to quickly freshen your breath,” notes Dr. Carina.


To support all the dentist-recommended ways of keeping our smiles healthy and bright, Glister advocates an effective Total Oral Care System that’s designed to clean teeth, freshen breath, and keep gums healthy with its plant-based dental solutions infused with traceable Nutrilite™-grown peppermint: Glister Multi-Action Toothpaste for gently and effectively removing plaque and preventing cavities, Glister Multi-Action Dental Floss that’s especially designed to remove plaque in between teeth while also gently stimulating the gums, and Glister Multi-Action Concentrated Oral Rinse that can help kill gingivitis and bad breath-causing bacteria.


The brand also offers other solutions that support this system like the Glister Multi-Action Toothbrush that’s engineered to clean hard-to-reach areas and the Glister Mint Refresher Spray for long-lasting fresh breath while on the go.


Apart from maintaining appearance, good oral health can also be linked to overall health, as it is the gateway to a healthy body. Smile confidently and start boosting your daily oral hygiene with scientifically designed and clinically-supported Glister.
