Before I delve into When Life Gives You Tangerines on my rest day, I feasted on these scrumptious strawberries first. A pasalubong from my dear neighbor who just got back from Baguio, strawberries are my fave but would often be out of stock from my go-to grocers.

Strawberries are rich in fiber, antioxidant, as well as in Vitamin C and Potassium, which can provide numerous health benefits for the body and help strengthen one’s immune system. It is also low in sugar and low in acidity, which can help those who are suffering from high acidity or GERD. The recommended serving is 8 pieces of these juicy fruit daily.

Some enjoy it dipped in cream or in Greek yogurt, but I prefer eating them on their own. I do not know about you but I may or may not have finished all these in one sitting! 😀 Next time, I will try it with overnight oats and chia seeds.

Do you also love strawberries and what is your favorite way to eat them? 🍓

December 6, 2024 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.
