Mum Shares: Let’s Get Moving ~ 5 ways to Make Movement Fun and Excitement

No Comments

An active lifestyle can be a great way to improve your mood, making you feel happier and more energized. If you’re just finding your groove in working out, there are exciting ways to get your steps in. You can even make the experience more amazing by capping it off with a multigrain snack such as Jack ‘n Jill Nova.

Whether you’re a casual or experienced mover, you can start with these five activities at home:

Dance to your heart’s content

Signing up for a dance or Zumba class can be daunting at first, especially if you’re doing it alone. Once you get past the nerves, you’ll learn to just follow the beat and move to your own rhythm. If you don’t want to join a class, no problem. You can always put on your favorite playlist or follow a dance workout video online in the comfort of your own home.

Recently, Jack ‘n Jill Nova hosted NOVAmazing Moves, a series of pop-up events that aims to make movement fun and accessible for everyone through various activities. The multi-gain snack brand aims to support people’s active lifestyles, encouraging them to move with no pressure.

Hula hoop your worries away

Another fun activity that feels like play is hula hooping. This can be a great option if you want to improve your coordination and strengthen your core without the heavy lifting. It can also be a fun bonding activity with the kids in your household.

Mum Eats: Improving Iron Intake To Boost Filipinos’ Overall Wellbeing

No Comments

Latest data from the Food and Nutrition Research Institute {FNRI} 1 , as shown in the 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey, found that the prevalence of anemia has been steadily decreasing in the Philippines. However, it remains to be a public health concern as it continues to affect 10.4 percent of all Filipinos, especially among high-risk groups such as young children and pregnant women. The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. MAGGI, the trusted ally of homecooks, calls on continued public and private efforts to ensure adequate iron intake, especially among children, to prevent the long-term effects of iron deficiency on Filipinos’ health.

Interventions to address iron deficiency

The World Health Organization {WHO} believes that deficiencies in micronutrients such as iron can be prevented through comprehensive strategies that focus on micronutrient supplementation, school or community-based feeding programs, nutrition education to promote a balanced diet, and food fortification. 2

Under the MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Advocacy, MAGGI has ongoing partnerships with the Department of Education {DepEd} and the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Plant Industry {DA-BPI} to increase Filipinos’ understanding of a diversified diet, and the importance of including excellent sources of iron such as lean meats, poultry, legumes, and dark leafy greens. Through its recipe services, culinary workshops and engaging school programs such as the Sarap Sustansya Cooking Competition, MAGGI helps youth and families to create tasty dishes based on healthy iron sources to help encourage the consumption of iron-rich food.

Mum Shares: Ginhawa Sa Kalusugan Ngayong Tag-ulan – Be Ready For The Rainy Season With These Essentials

No Comments

As the refreshing rains replace the scorching summer heat, a season shift brings both relief and health challenges. While the rain offers a welcome respite, it also ushers in health concerns that become more prominent during this time.


The shift in seasons usually affects me because this used to be the season when my not-so-little man would experience asthma attacks and it really was quite a chalenge for a busy mum like me. Caring for a sick child can also take its toll on a mum, so I need to be extra careful so I won’t get sick, too. And as we continue to experience rainy days, it’s helpful to have these essentials to stay healthy, snug, and comfortable during the downpour:

Umbrella: Stay-dry comfort

Of course, number one on the list is an umbrella. If I would look at the bags of most Filipinos, I’ll most likely find an umbrella. It’s like a trusty sidekick in the crazy weather rollercoaster we experience daily. One minute, we’re under the scorching heat, and the next, we could be caught in a downpour with gusty winds. Having an umbrella on hand keeps me prepared for whatever weather surprise comes my way.

Tea: A cup of warmth

There’s nothing quite like wrapping my hands around a warm mug of tea as the rain taps against the windowpane. The soothing warmth of tea instantly makes me feel snug and content, making it the ultimate comfort drink for gloomy weather. I always choose a selection of soothing herbal teas such as chamomile, lavender, or ginger, which not only provide warmth but also have calming and digestive properties.

Sometimes, I add some honey or lemon for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor!
