The COVID-19 pandemic has made good health a priority globally. Our new normal is a way of life that’s characterized by social distancing, wearing masks and basically getting rid of bad habits that have accumulated through the years. The most important thing right now is our wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Watsons is the Filipino family’s partner in wellness and as the mother of two girls, I am very grateful to have a place where we can get vitamins and over-the-counter medications for the common cold, fever and body pains.
Here are a few recommendations from Watsons on keeping your immunity strong and your family healthy.
Exercise helps keep the body fit and the mind sharp. During exercise, your body releases chemicals that can improve your mood and for a mom and homemaker like me, that’s very important. It also increases the body’s immunity so my husband Ron and I make sure that our kids get a lot of physical activity, too. We take walks, dance to the kids’ favorite tunes or do simple cardio workouts that are also kid-friendly. Sometimes, I ask Claud to help me by doing simple chores like folding clothes or cleaning up their toys.
TEA TIME IS WE-TIME
They say you are what you eat and this is very true. To boost the family’s immunity, I try to include antioxidant-rich foods in our meals. These include onions, garlic, pumpkins, carrots, lean meat and milk. My kids are not very picky eaters. They just want their food to taste good. It’s still a challenge to make food that they all will like so I look for recipes on the Internet. These days, Ron and I end our meals by enjoying some Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea.
