For us to have great health and strong bones, it is recommended to take in more calcium through our diet and supplements. ❤️

However, there is another element that goes well with for it to be absorbed and utilized by the body. is the missing piece that helps calcium to be utilized and distributed to parts where it is needed most. This means that to fully benefit from your food or supplement intake, a good balance of food containing both Calcium and Vitamin D is advised. 🥛

This is the reason why many food items and supplements have the combination of both, to ensure that the health benefits can be maximized especially for parts that need them the most like bones. 🦴

In our last installment of this rainy season series, always remember to sanitize your surroundings and dispose of rubber tires or materials that can turn into mosquito breeding grounds ♥️

Keep safe and healthy with these practical tips:

=========================
📌 #07/08: KEEP MOSQUITOS OUT
=========================

Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and malaria kill about 725,000 people annually, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

They are said to be most dangerous during the rainy season when stagnant water abound as a result of the rains. These serve as the mosquitoes' breeding grounds.🦟

Let us protect ourselves and loved ones from mosquito-borne diseases through the following hygienic habits:

☑️ Prevent having stagnant water in and outside of your home premises to deny mosquitos their breeding grounds
☑️ When available, spray insect repellents containing picaridin or DEET inside your house.
☑️ Prevent mosquitoes from entering the home with fly screens on windows and doors.
☑️ Mosquito repellent lotions for the skin can help from getting bitten by mosquitos when going outside
☑️ Frequently change water in vases, pet drinking bowls, and related storage vessels.

======================
📌 #08/08: HYDRATE ALWAYS
======================

Are you aware that the simple routine of drinking plenty of water can boost your immune system by stimulating your blood circulation?

Yes! With just about 8 glasses of water a day, your body can fight better against infections and diseases.💦

Moreover, getting enough hydration helps in regulating body temperature and can flush out bacteria in your bladder.🍋 Feel free to add a slice or a pinch of lemon to add Vitamin C to your water.

Lastly, make sure you're drinking clean water! Stagnant or contaminated water may abound during the rainy season. To be sure, boil it first before drinking.

Let's be prepared and stay safe amidst the health challenges the rainy season brings. ♥️

We continue our "Staying Healthy this Wet Season" infographic series as we ready ourselves for more rains towards the later part of the year as per the Philippine weather bureau.

=========================
📌 #03/08: BRING AN UMBRELLA or RAIN GEAR
=========================

We know that cold, fever, and flu are common in this season. But getting soaked in the rain will make you susceptible to getting at least one of these.

A first step prevention is to bring your own umbrella. It's a no-brainer, but some are just too lazy or forgetful. ⛱

And for a tropical country with poor drainage system where flooding is common, rain boots could protect our feet and legs while we walk through flooded area. Protect yourself from viruses and bacteria like leptospirosis, which could become fatal without proper treatment.⚠️

Let's remind ourselves to always bring an umbrella or rain gear whenever going out.

======================
📌 #04/08: TAKE a WARM SHOWER
======================

A warm shower right after getting soaked in the rain is not only comforting, but also healthy!

Warm showers help the body temperature to return to normal and eliminate the germs on the skin. It also provides relief from cold or respiratory symptoms by opening up airways, loosening up phlegm and clearing out nasal passages.💦

Moreover, a warm shower opens up the pores of the skin allowing cleansing of trapped dirt and oil. Lastly, it helps in relaxing the muscles by relieving tension and soothing muscle fatigue.

Alternatively, if it's just your feet which got wet, a warm foot bath can help too!

As much as the rainy season is generally relaxing, it can also persist negative effects on our health? ♥️

So keep safe and healthy with our 8 basic but practical tips for the rainy season on our new infographic series "Staying Healthy this Wet Season":⛈️

======================
📌 #01/08: BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY
======================

Eating healthy is a cliche, but we will laser-focus on eating right that can strengthen our immune system to fight disease-causing bacteria that are more prevalent during the wet season!

Our highlights are broccoli, ginger, green tea, spinach, and citrus fruits!

🥦 Broccoli: As one of the healthiest vegetables, broccoli is loaded with vitamins A,C, and E and with fiber and antioxidants
🥔 Ginger: Beat E.coli, shigella, and RSV as fresh ginger can help a lot in warding off disease-causing microbes mentioned above.
🫖 Green Tea: Rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a powerful antioxidant that enhances the immune system.
🥗 Spinach: This green leafy vegetable is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that fights infection and boosts the body’s immune system.
🍊 Citrus Fruits: Say hello to oranges, lemons / calamansi, and dalandan! These common Philippine citrus fruits are high in vitamin C and are effective in fighting off infections while strengthening your immune system.

Boost your immunity these rainy days!

===================
📌 #02/08: EXERCISE + SLEEP
===================

Don't let the heavy rains stop your exercise regimen, biking, or gym visit! ☔ As an alternative, you can still do aerobics, Zumba, jumping rope, pilates, or even calisthenics, in the comfort of your home.

Regular exercise can improve your blood circulation, improve cardiovascular health, trigger serotonin production, bolster your immune system to avoid diseases, or simply keep you in shape!💪

Add to that enough sleep to restore your energy and fortify your immune system to be more prepared to fight diseases.

How healthy do you eat? ♥️

According to the National Council, 7 in 10 Filipino households do not meet their dietary energy requirements needed for the demands of productivity in school, work or home.🍎🥝🍋🍆🫘

A Healthy diet means eating a variety of foods from different food groups in balance and in moderation.
