Always busy and on the go? Fuel up your days and your health goals with BodyKey by Nutrilite

 

BodyKey by Nutrilite is the latest transformation solution to help manage weight in a healthy way.

As we know, attaining and keeping a healthy weight plays a significant role in our health and wellbeing. The goal is to keep our body mass index (BMI), an indicator of body fat based on height and weight, within the normal range, so we can look and feel healthy, and even prevent and control diseases and conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, some reproductive health issues, and even certain cancers.

 

There are many things that affect our weight, from factors out of our hands like our genes and age to some environmental influences like our stress level, family habits, and culture. But there’s one essential element that we can always have control over, and that’s what we fuel our body—our eating patterns. Despite our desire to eat healthful foods every meal every day, the demands of our modern lifestyles are keeping us from doing that.

 

This is especially true if you’re a young working mom who’s struggling to prioritize your personal health because of all the responsibilities you have to handle at home and at work. On extra busy days and when you’re on the go, you probably find yourself having no time and energy to prepare a wholesome meal to power you through the day, relying on non-nutritious fast foods and all their added sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives to keep you going.

 

With BodyKey by Nutrilite™, you’ll always have time to make a nutritious meal. Just add water for a delicious shake filled with everything you need to keep moving forward with your day, and your health goals. This meal replacement shake from entrepreneur-led health and wellness company Amway, is launching an improved version that’s scientifically formulated to provide the essential nutrients. It now has more protein from soy and chia seeds than its previous formulation with 17g plant protein to help satisfy hunger and reduce cravings. It also contains 5g fiber to support healthy digestion, 22 vitamins and minerals to provide the key nutrients of a healthy, balanced meal, and 200 calories to help maintain energy levels.

 

One thing great about this meal replacement shake is that it’s backed by Nutrilite. It’s one of Amway’s flagship brands and the world’s number 1 selling vitamin and dietary supplement brand. With over 80 years of leadership in nutrition research and development, it’s the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest, and process plants on its own certified organic farms. This also makes Nutrilite the only brand in the world that can truly claim traceability from seed to shake so you are ensured of products that are pure, safe, and effective.

 

“As an entrepreneur-led health and wellness company, Amway is committed to supporting its customers in their journey to overall health and wellness by offering an arsenal of products that can help them improve their quality of life,” says Amway Philippines Country Manager Leni Olmedo. “We’re proud to showcase BodyKey by Nutrilite, an all-natural line of meal replacement shakes designed to meet all of one’s nutritional needs for a well-balanced diet that addresses the demands of modern life and supports your health goals.” 

 

“Eating right for what our body specifically requires takes time and some trial and error. Based on my experience, the healthiest solutions are always a shift, not a shortcut. Success usually comes when the changes we made aren’t too drastic,” says Amway Global Senior Research Scientist and Research and Clinical Investigator Dr. Gigi Kwok-Hinsley, DrPH, MS, RD. “They should fit into our busy lives and align with our overall health goals. BodyKey by Nutrilite provides the nutrition you need with a high protein, nutrient-packed shake that doesn’t feel and taste like you’re missing out on a lot.”

 

To ensure you’re taking in something that’s only good for your body, BodyKey by Nutrilite has taken the extra steps to ensure the shakes come with more safety and clean labels. They have no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, and preservatives, and they are made with non-GMO ingredients. They also contain zero trans fat and are vegetarian-friendly. For your pleasure, BodyKey by Nutrilite offers five flavors: chocolate, café latte, and berry.

 

Fuel your day and your health goals with something that’s naturally and conveniently nutritious and filling. BodyKey by Nutrilite is your nutrient-packed meal in seconds that can help you work towards a better, healthier version of yourself.

Stay Cool This Summer with Hanabishi Air Conditioners: Tips for Efficient Use and Maintenance

As the summer season brings in intense heat, staying indoors and relying on your room air conditioning (AC) unit becomes necessary to counter the scorching weather. However, constantly using an AC unit can lead to higher energy consumption, which translates to higher electricity bills. Here are some tips from our technical experts from Hanabishi to efficiently use and maintain your air conditioning unit while keeping your energy consumption and costs down:

1. Set your AC unit to a comfortable temperature: The ideal temperature for an AC unit is between 23 and 26 degrees Celsius. Lowering the temperature to the lowest possible setting can result in a spike in energy consumption.

2. Use a fan to complement your AC unit: Using a fan can help distribute cool air more evenly throughout the room, allowing you to set your AC unit at a higher temperature and consume less energy.

3. Keep windows and doors closed: Keeping doors and windows closed while using your AC unit can help maintain the desired temperature and reduce energy consumption.

4. Clean your AC unit regularly: Poorly maintained air conditioning systems can cause respiratory illnesses and allergies, with dirty filters being the most common culprits. Hanabishi recommends cleaning the air filter of your AC unit once a month and flushing the drainpipe frequently to prevent clogging and increase energy consumption.

5. Consider investing in newer models of air conditioning units: Newer models of air conditioning units are more energy-efficient, which can translate to lower energy bills. Hanabishi offers several models of air conditioning units that are energy-efficient and easy to maintain.

Incidentally, Hanabishi offers energy-saving AC products, including the Inverter Split Type Airconditioner 1.0HP (HMSTINV10ZEN), which utilizes new technology to cool and clean rooms while reducing energy consumption by up to 60%. Additionally, it features an easy-to-clean filter. If you prefer portable air conditioning units, Hanabishi also offers the Hanabishi Portable Airconditioner 1.0HP (HPORTAC10HP) and 1.5HP (HPORTAC15HP), both equipped with easy-to-clean filters, a remote control, timer, and digital LCD display.

"We know that comfort is one of the utmost concerns of every Filipino family, and with the rising summer heat, it is essential that they get a reliable cooling system. Hanabishi air conditioning models offer a lot of options to suit everyone's need for a cooler and more comfortable home," said Hanabishi Vice President for Marketing and Finance Cherish Ong-Chua.

By following these tips and investing in an energy-efficient air conditioning unit like Hanabishi, you can enjoy a cooler and more comfortable home during the summer season while keeping energy consumption and costs down.

Healthy eating habits to help you keep up with all the summer fun Let Sekaya guide you on how to stay in high spirits all season long!

 

The Philippines’ summer months usually record the hottest temperatures of the year. And this weather makes it the perfect time to travel around the country and have some sunny adventures with family and friends. The heat though can also have an impact on our overall health—we’re more prone to dehydration and having digestive issues that can spoil all the fun.  

 

Make the most out of these easygoing months by staying healthy and nourishing the body with wholesome food choices. Filipino plant-based brand Sekaya, and Dr. Eca Lorenzo, internal medicine specialist and functional medicine practitioner, suggest tweaks on our daily eating habits that can help energize us throughout summer.

 

Take advantage of fresh produce. April and May are when produce is at its peak, when farmers harvest crops and when our own backyards are abundant with fruits. “During this time, you notice that local in-season fruits like mango, guyabano, coconut, rambutan, santol, pomelo, and pineapple are more readily available at your favorite grocery stores and markets. This can help add more color and variety to your plates, allowing you to get as many nutrients as possible,” shares Dr. Lorenzo. “It’s also great to keep yourself well-hydrated by adding in more vegetables with high water content like lettuce, tomato, broccoli, spinach, and eggplant to what you eat.”

 

Go for lighter meals. On warm days, the digestive system may become slow as more energy is being spent to keep the body from overheating. “Avoid eating heavy meals this summer to give your digestive system a chance to keep up with everything that’s going on in your body,” Dr. Lorenzo suggests. “Remember to control your portions and to take your time chewing your food to avoid bloating.”

 

It’s good to have some healthy snacks like veggie sticks and dips, trail mixes, and salad cups in between meals to curb hunger and avoid overeating. “This is also an opportunity to take in more fiber which helps digestion,” Dr. Lorenzo explains.

 

Choose your cold treats wisely. Instead of ice creams and sugary beverages, try having fruit smoothies or botanical infused drinks. “Sugar can actually lead to dehydration when consumed in high volumes,” Dr. Lorenzo warns. “Drinking water is still the best way to quench your thirst. But if you want something more flavorful, it’s best to choose the healthy route by making smoothies with the freshest fruits and without added sugar or add ice to your favorite botanical infusions.”

 

Sekaya Botanical Infusion, the plant-based brand’s line of botanical blends made from organic ingredients with wellness benefits like easing digestive issues and boosting immunity, can also be added to one’s hydration fix. They are so easy to prepare. Just steep a bag or two in freshly boiled water and infuse for 3-4 minutes, then add ice or put it inside the fridge for a refreshing healthy drink.

 

Observe food safety practices. Dr. Lorenzo reminds that cases of food poisoning and gastroenteritis can be quite common during summertime. “Food poisoning and gastroenteritis due to bacteria or virus have similar symptoms like an upset stomach and vomiting. Both are caused by unhygienic or contaminated  food and water,” she adds. “Prevent this from happening by following food prep standards like washing your hands when handling ingredients, making sure fruits and veggies are washed before eating, and ensuring that meat is cooked through. Also, avoid leaving food and water out for hours, especially under the heat of the summer sun.”

 

Summer is a great time to rest, relax and loosen up, but the heat can take a toll on our health too. Maintain good eating habits and even add a few more, so we can avoid the summer blues and stay having fun all season long.

A Stronger Partnership of Hanabishi & “Bossing” Vic Sotto Continue

 

Hanabishi Appliances recently renewed its partnership with its first and long-time brand ambassador, actor-host Vic Sotto. This is the ninth year that the two icons -- one in the appliance sector and the other in Philippine entertainment -- will be working together.

 

“We believe in keeping lasting relationships. We have been working with Bossing since 2014, and it has been a really fruitful collaboration. Throughout that time, we have seen consumer preferences evolve, challenges like the pandemic come up, and more competition enter the market. Our partnership has helped us navigate all these obstacles. He is more than just a kapartner for us; he has become part of the family already,” said Hanabishi President and CEO Jasper Ong.

 

Bringing Joy and Help to Filipinos

 

The brand’s collaboration with Sotto goes beyond product promotions.

 

“It is a partnership that is built on a shared mission of bringing joy to Filipino families. Hanabishi is committed to making household work easier and helping people put up their own businesses through our various appliances. Likewise, Bossing, through his movies and TV shows, has brought laughter and happiness to Filipinos across the country,” said Cherish Ong-Chua, Vice President for Finance and Marketing of Hanabishi Appliances.

 

Sotto lauded Hanabishi for taking part in the various community projects of Eat Bulaga, the country’s longest-running noontime show.

 

“Maasashan ang Hanabishi pag dating sa mga quality appliances. Gayundin, maasahan mo sila sa paghatid ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan tuwing may krisis. Malaking bahagi sila ng mga community initiatives ng Eat Bulaga (You can count on Hanabishi when it comes to quality products. Likewise, you can count on them when it comes to helping people during times of crisis. They are a big part of the community initiatives of Eat Bulaga),” the veteran actor and TV host said.

 

A Fiesta-Themed Welcome

 

Hanabishi celebrated their renewed partnership with Sotto through a fiesta-themed event. He was welcomed by Mr. Ong and Ms. Ong-Chua along with Hanabishi VP for Operations Candice Ong-Ang and VP for Purchasing and Merchandising Jevon Ong.

 

In keeping with the theme, the guests were served a buffet of Filipino dishes prepared by Milky Way Cafe. Hanabishi products that are perfect for the hot summer months were raffled off. A “guess the price” contest was also held, with three winners taking home Hanabishi appliances. Comedian, podcaster, and content creator Stanley Chi hosted the program.

 

“As we mark our 37th year, we would like to thank all the people like Bossing who have become part of our success. We are grateful to all the consumers who have made Hanabishi their brand of choice when it comes to their home and business,” said Ong-Chua.
