Give Thanks To Your Unsung Hero Thru The Husay At Malasakit App {+ A Chance To Win A Limited Edition Unilab Health Kit}

August 13, 2015 57 Comments

We all have someone to thank for their love and unwavering support in our lives, the wind beneath our wings, if you may. These people could be our parents, our husbands, our mentors, our siblings or our friend, who made it possible for us to achieve our dreams and realize our goals and help us get to where we are now.

One of my Unsung Hero is my dear sister, Isabel. She is my confidante, my friend, my therapist. My coffee, postcrossing, and movie buddy all rolled into one. She is always ready to listen to my endless tales, even when she has heard that story so many times before, and yes, she never fails to give straightforward remarks or side comments. She may not have agreed with a number of decisions I made in my life, but I know that I can count on her no matter what.

I will always be grateful to my sister for the kind of love she showers my little man. She is more patient with him than I am at times. She has this way with children and she is Jared’s favorite playmate. My sister is always willing to look after my little man when I had to go somewhere, like run errands or attend blogging events. She does make life so much easier for me, allowing me the mobility, specially when I needed it. I know I can always count on her to love my son as his own.

But more importantly, my sister is a living reminder of my parents, their wonderful memories, and their unconditional love for us. I will always be grateful to have my sister as she reminds me so much of my parents, especially my Papa. She took after our father and inherited a number of his physical traits. And while my sister, and my siblings, are around, I know I will always feel my parents’ presence like a warm hug, like it is almost tangible. I will always feel like my Mama and Papa are still here with us through them.

I am excited to nominate her through the Husay At Malasakit app, I do hope she will like my surprise. I am sure she will love the cake since she is so fond of sweets! :-))

Vitamin D Deficient Women At Risk Of Unhealthy Pregnancy + Breast

February 17, 2015 No Comments

Because of the roles we play and many responsibilities under our belt, as mums, wives, homemakers, and professionals, it is a must that we put premium in our health to be able to perform our multiple functions well and to enjoy life better and longer with our friends and families. In this regard, here is an interesting piece about Vitamin D and its significance in the overall optimum women health and the threats that Vitamin D deficiency poses in our bodies.

There’s been a growing interest in Vitamin-D in the medical community, after multiple studies revealed that Vitamin D deficiency is actually a prevalent problem worldwide. According to these studies, some groups of individuals were observed to be more prone to having this condition versus others. Included in these groups were the dark-color skinned, the elderly and women.

Recent tests conducted in the Philippines commissioned by trusted healthcare provider Unilab showed that 68% of the female participants screened for Vitamin D deficiency had inadequate levels of the said vitamin in the body. The figure of vitamin D deficient male participants registered at 30%, which is significantly lower than the percentage of females, albeit still quite high.

Women were found to be at greater risk of being Vitamin “D-ficient” due to their biological make up. Women start off with having lower bone density than their male peers and reach the peak of their bone mass at an earlier age than men do. This means women have a higher calcium requirement than the opposite sex. And because Vitamin D plays an essential role in the body’s absorption of calcium, it follows that women need to have higher Vitamin D levels in their body compared to men.
