Mothers only
want the best for their children. They want them to be able to navigate through
the ups and downs of life happily and healthily. This is why they enforce
wellness routines and habits that seem annoying at first, but actually have
benefits in the long run.

Corporation’s Licealiz got the chance to interact with some people who cherish
the reminders their moms gave them when they were younger, and still carry
those healthy habits to this day.
Eating healthy
It’s a struggle
to get kids to eat their vegetables, even though it’s good for them. College
student Missy (not her real name), grew up with a lot of vegetables in her
diet. “Sometimes they tasted a little bland,” she recounts, “but I can hardly
tell, growing up eating them. It was never a bother. Her meals are wonderful
and irreplaceable.” For one working girl
who wishes to remain anonymous, this routine of eating healthy food made
her aware of its many benefits: “When I was younger, I was rarely sick and had
no digestive problems.” she shares.
Drinking a lot of water
Aside from eating your
greens, it is also important to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day.
A habit that Lisa Navidad - who is now a mother herself - picked up from her
own mom. “It’s hard to get my kids to drink water now because they prefer soft
drinks or juice, which I can understand because I’ve been there,” she adds.
Still, she stresses the importance of staying hydrated by drinking plenty of
water.
Playing sports and exercising
Keeping active through
sports and exercise was a routine that was very beneficial to LJ Dominguez, a
former student athlete. Which was why he didn’t mind doing it. “I grew taller.
[Now] I do it on my own. It became a habit.” he adds. Mikhaila Ilano, a
freelance artist, shares this sentiment. “It helps me become comfortable with
physical activity,” she says. She also shares that it was a habit that promotes
good discipline: “Even though she [my mom] did not have time to care for me…
she tried her best to raise me with discipline from different activities.”
Maintaining proper hygiene
Maintaining proper hygiene is always a good habit to have. The
mother of Anne Jordan, a college student, encouraged her to diligently and
routinely brush her teeth. While she admits that she was annoyed about it at
first, she agreed that it paid off well as she grew older. “I now have a
healthy set of teeth [and] I don’t have any dental complications,” she says
proudly. The mom of an anonymous high school student makes her and her sister
wash their hair with head lice shampoo: “They were kind of tedious to do, but
whenever my mom would take the time to patiently brush the nits in my hair, I
realized I couldn’t complain.” She realizes that eventually she will have to
keep track of her own health, so she is grateful that her mom is still there to
give her reminders.
There are many
things we should thank our moms for this Mother’s Day. But most of all, we
should be thankful for the healthy routines that they made us do. It showed how
much they care for us, and how it shapes our health and lifestyle today.
To all the
mothers out there, Licealiz wishes you a Happy Mother’s Day!
