Tweet

The top-of-mind brand promotes the benefit of daily fiber supplementation in preventing chronic diseases with #PushNaYanWithMyDailyFiber 

Three years into the pandemic but moving towards a sense of normalcy in our lives, C-Lium Fibre, the top-of-mind psyllium fiber brand¹ is inspiring Filipinos to realize their health goals through habit formation so they can continue to be more present for the people who matter in their lives. 

 

With its 2023 campaign “Push Na `Yan With My Daily Fiber” PascualLab’s fiber food supplement brand C-Lium Fibre hopes to create awareness of the importance of good lifestyle and nutrition habits and how these can prevent chronic diseases. ² 

 

Healthy Lifestyle 

Daily habits such as exercising for 30 minutes a day, getting around eight (8) hours of sleep, and managing your stress can do wonders for the health.³  

 

Proper Diet and Nutrition 

Equally important to a healthy lifestyle is getting the right nutrients. With a focus on fiber, the campaign hopes to impart the benefits of fiber as part of our day-to-day nutrition and how daily supplementation can help deter chronic diseases. 

 

Fiber for Fitness 

According to research, getting enough fiber can help prevent heart disease, diabetes and regulate bowel movement. ⁴ 

 

One rich source of fiber is psyllium fiber which pushes away toxins from the body. It has soluble and insoluble fiber which works in two ways: 

 

1. It binds excess bad cholesterol, excess fat, and sugar and  

2. Pushes them out of the body. ⁵  

 

According to DOST-FNRI, we need at least 20 to 25 grams of fiber daily. ⁶    

 

I-Push Na `Yan With My Daily Fiber 

C-Lium Fibre has both 100% natural soluble and insoluble fiber in convenient formats: capsule and husk. A daily dose of a sachet of C-Lium Fibre alone can give you 5 grams of fiber which is equivalent to 5 cups of Romaine lettuce, 8 cups of cooked white rice, or 3 medium-sized tomatoes.⁷ 

 

C-Lium Fibre’s husk format comes in regular and flavored variants. 

C-Lium Fiber in Four Easy Steps 

C-Lium Fibre is easy to take: 

1. Pour a sachet of C-Lium Fibre husk into half an 8. oz glass of water2. Stir for 10 seconds. 3. Drink immediately and completely. 4. Follow with another glass of water or juice.  

For capsule, take 5 capsules before breakfast and 5 capsules before dinner to get the equivalent of 5 grams fiber. 

 

C-Lium Fiber is available in all leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide, and at PascualLab’s official Lazada and Shopee stores.

C-Lium Fibre Elaborates on the Many Benefits of Psyllium Fiber in New Campaign - Celebrity mom Solenn Heusaff supports her overall health through gut care with fiber supplementation every day

Tweet

C-Lium Fibre, the leading Psyllium fiber supplement ¹ underscores the benefits of Psyllium fiber in its 2022 campaign, which tackles the importance of gut health in achieving overall wellness.

DUAL CLEANSING ACTION

Sourced from the Plantago ovata’s seeds, Psyllium fiber has two kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble.2 Soluble Fiber helps remove excess fat, sugar, and bad cholesterol, while insoluble fiber gently sweeps them out of the digestive system.3

GUT HEALTH IMPACTS OVERALL HEALTH

With these actions, Psyllium fiber helps cleanse the body of wastes and toxins and relieves constipation. It also aids.in lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and assists in weight management 4 along with proper diet and exercise.

Psyllium Fiber also feeds the gut's good bacteria (also known as probiotics), ⁵ which support the immune system.6 Given all these benefits especially to the gut which helps prevent certain chronic diseases, Psyllium fiber plays a key role in achieving overall health and wellness.7

NATURAL SOURCES

Although fiber can be found in natural food sources, it is usually a challenge to get the required 25 grams8 we need daily. To supplement your daily fiber requirement, there‘s C-Lium Fibre in regular husk and capsule formats. It is made from 100% natural psyllium with no preservatives and no artificial colors.

START EVERY DAY RIGHT

Psyllium fiber is best taken at the start of the day9 thus the brand’s message of “starting every day right”. C-Lium Fibre can be taken before or during breakfast.

SOLENN HEUSAFF AND HER HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Fitness enthusiast, artist, and mother of one Solenn Heussaff, who has been taking C-Lium Fibre long before she became an endorser, could not agree more on the benefits of fiber supplementation and on taking it at the onset of each day.

The multi-faceted fitness enthusiast says: “Because I am always doing so many different things, I do my best to be healthy." Heusaff adds: “Adding psyllium fiber to my daily diet promotes gut care, which is essential to my overall health." That’s why I take C-Lium Fibre every day”.

C-Lium Fibre is available in all major drugstores nationwide and at PascualLab’s flagship Shopee and Lazada stores. It comes in capsule and husk formats as well as in flavored variants (Mango, Dalandan, and Pineapple). Join our FB community @C-LiumFibre to get updates on the latest in health and for promos.

The top-of-mind fiber supplement adds a new twist and flavors to promoting digestive health through fiber intake

Top-of-mind fiber supplement CRX C-Lium Fibre jump-starts the mid-year with a new campaign and endorser, adding a new twist to fiber supplementation and how daily fiber intake can support digestive health, among other benefits.

START YOUR DAY RIGHT

With the tagline, “Start Your Day Right”, C-Lium Fibre teaches Filipinos, especially those who have digestive issues, to start a daily morning habit of taking fiber from food and supplements.

C-Lium Fibre husk format is made from 100% natural psyllium fiber. Psyllium Fibre has both soluble and insoluble fiber that together, produce a dual cleansing action: 1. soluble fiber helps absorb bad cholesterol, excess fats, and sugar, and 2. insoluble fiber helps sweep them out of the body. ¹ Recommended intake is once a day during breakfast.

C-LIUM is SOLENN HEUSSAFF’S NEW PARTNER

To help spread the information on the benefits of Psyllium Fibre and adopt a healthy, daily fiber habit is fitness buff, businesswoman, actress, and mother of one, Solenn Heussaff Bolzico.  

Heussaff was the top choice for the brand because she represents the kind of people who prioritize the things that matter in life, including their digestive health. 

Heussaff, who recently became a mother in 2020, knows that with this new role, she has more to live for, and has put a priority on her health now, more than ever.

Heusaff said: “I have been blessed to have an amazing husband and now a daughter, who support my endeavors. Now I have a new partner in health whom I can turn to, to keep my digestive health, even my cholesterol and sugar, in check.”

C-Lium Fibre through its dual cleansing action helps control cholesterol plus blood sugar levels, and promotes digestive health along with proper diet and regular physical activity.

 

C-Lium Fibre, which can be mixed with water or juice, consumed as a capsule, or poured over food, is best taken at the start of the day or in the morning along with breakfast.

And now, C-Lium Fibre comes in three new husk flavors: Mango, Pineapple, and Dalandan in Sachets of 7s and 30s. All are available in major drugstores and supermarkets nationwide and online via PascualLab’s official Shopee and Lazada stores.

Fiber is an essential part of an athlete’s diet, says POC nutritionist

Tweet

Sepak Takraw standout Emmanuel Escote, whose team won silver in 2015 SEA Games, says POC’s newest nutrition program helped him improve his diet.

Donning the Philippines’ colors in the biggest sporting event in Southeast Asia—the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games), which recently concluded in Singapore—Filipino athletes showed that they can slug it out with the best athletes from neighboring countries.

The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) has new programs for the SEA Games representatives in order to realize their full potential and ensure that they are at their peak condition during this much-hyped event and other international sporting events in the future.

SEA Games silver medallist for Decathlon Jesson Ramil Cid says he had to do his best during training to make sure the he performs well in the SEA Games.

The Philippines’ foremost sportsmen successfully translated these programs into more wins after improving the country’s seventh place standing during the 2013 SEA Games in Myanmar, to a sixth place finish, bagging 30 more medals in this edition of the Games.

POC enlisted the help of professionals in the fields of sports science, sports psychology, sports vision, sports rehabilitation, sports training, and nutrition in order to whip the athletes into shape and to achieve their optimal fitness level.

Before heading to Singapore, athletes from different sporting events went through rigorous training and special programs that rendered them more competitive than usual.

“Ngayon mas naging doble yung hirap na ginagawa namin compared sa ibang international competitions; mas mahirap talaga yung training for SEA Games. Parang gusto na naming sumuko minsan pero pinipilit namin kasi para ‘to sa country,” said Olympic Rowing representative Justine Vinas, who missed the podium after settling for fourth place.

Emmanuel Escote, who is the spiker of silver medalist Sepak Takraw team, said they trained intensely to top their successful performance in the recently concluded King’s Cup Sepak Takraw World Championship in Thailand. “Mas binubugbog namin ‘yung sarili namin ngayon! Siyempre kung ano ‘yung skills mo ngayon, kailangan mo pang higitan.”

While athletes have varying motivations for playing for the national team, they share one cause—to bring home a win and make their fellow Filipinos proud.

“Para sa ’kin, masarap i-represent ang Pilipinas. At saka yung karangalan na maiuwi mo yung mga medalya sa competitionmo, isang malaking bagay na yun e!—isang malaking karangalan,” declared Escote, who is now on his 4th playing year in the national team.

“Magandang opportunity po ‘to! Masaya kasi hindi ka lang nagbibigay ng pride sa bansa mo kundi pati kay God—‘yung talentko ginagamit ko sa magandang bagay,” Jesson Ramil Cid, the country’s silver medalist for Decathlon, affirmed.

Athlete’s nutrition

Acknowledging the important role of good nutrition in an athlete’s performance, POC created a sports nutrition program to make meal plans for the athletes depending on their specific needs.

In the process, POC nutritionists learned that many of our national athletes are constipated and lack an understanding of proper nourishment in achieving optimum health.

To address this issue, the POC partnered with a leading supplement brand in the country, C-Lium Fibre. With the tie-up, fiber was incorporated in every athlete’s meal plan in order to reach the 25 to 30 grams of recommended daily fiber intake. Athletes were asked to take C-Lium Fibre in husk form mixed with water, first thing in the morning.

(From L-R: SEA Games sepak takraw silver medallist Emmauel Escote, POC nutritionist Luningning Caravana, SEA Games decathlon silver medallist Jesson Ramil Cid, POC nutritionist Yancy Liwanag and Rowing representative Justine Karyle Vinas)

“’Nung dumating kami, many of them are constipated kasi unang-una sa lahat hindi nila alam kung ano ‘yung mga dapat nilang kainin. Ang ginawa naming approach is to make sure na balanced ‘yung kinakain nila at ma-achieve nila ‘yung required daily fiber intake with the help of C-Lium,” said POC nutritionist Luningning Caravana.

“Ang fiber naman kasi, in general, ay tumutulong para mailabas ‘yung dumi sa katawan natin, mapababa ‘yung cholesterol, and, at the same time, nakakatulong sa weight management para mas makapag-perform ng maayos ‘yung mga athletesnatin,” she added.

After just a couple of weeks on the program, athletes readily reported experiencing regular bowel movement and no longer suffering from bloating or other signs of digestive disorder.

SEA Games first-timer Vinas claims that the bloating of his stomach disappeared after he started POC’s nutrition program. “Regular na ’yung bowel movement ko! Personally, nakatulong talaga ‘yung nutrition program ng POC—may meal programsila for us and we consume the required daily fiber intake —kasi nga mahirap mag-training pag may nararamdaman kangdiscomfort sa tiyan. Ngayon wala na akong iniisip, training na lang talaga.”

The Sepak Takraw standout, on the other hand, revealed why POC’s newest program has been a tremendous help. “Nagbabawas ako ng timbang kasi feeling ko ‘nung last game mabigat pa ang katawan ko. From personal experience,nakatulong ‘yung nutrition program sa aking bowel movement so feeling ko it helps na rin sa pag-maintain ng weight ko. With the help of the program, nare-reach namin ‘yung required daily fiber intake.”

C-Lium Fibre—available in husk and capsule formats—is made from natural psyllium plant, which is a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber.

According to the National Fiber Council, the soluble fiber in psyllium absorbs water, turns it into gel, then attaches to food, sugars, cholesterol, and fats in the stomach. It then helps to expel these from one’s digestive system. A high-fiber diet also helps lower the risk of developing life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, certain forms of cancer, diabetes, and stroke.

Coach Jim Saret who is heading POC’s newest program says that C-Lium Fibre is a very good and convenient product to reach the required daily fiber intake.

“I think it’s one of the most important supplements we need to take as individuals. C-Lium Fibre is actually a very good product and it’s very convenient and so there’s no excuse for you not to be able to get the right amount of daily fiber because it’s so accessible,” said Coach Jim Saret.

Coach Toni Saret, who is co-heading POC’s program with her husband Coach Jim Saret, said that nutrition also plays a big role in an athlete’s performance.

Coaches Jim and Toni Saret believe that fiber is one of the most important nutrients that the body needs.

“You cannot work out with poor nutrition. Fitness and sports are always tied up with proper nutrition; you cannot have one without the other or else you cannot attain your optimal performance as an athlete,” said the female coach.

With new partnerships such as that with C-Lium Fibre, POC has high hopes that our representatives will perform better in different international sporting events like the Olympic Games and this will translate into medals for the country.

“You can never question the Filipino spirit. We will always fight; they will always continue to fight despite the odds and being the underdog; lalaban at lalaban pa din ang Pilipino. So that makes me really proud to be a part of this program,” said the Coach Jim Saret.

With the growing popularity of sports in the country, Filipino athletes are drawing increasing national support, which inspires them to do better in the international arena like SEA Games.

POC nutritionists Luningning Caravana and Yancy Liwanag say that sports nutrition is an integral part of an athlete’s overall performance.

They say that mothers know best, TV host Amy Perez couldn’t agree more

Amy Perez

TV personality, “Umagang Kay Ganda” and DZMM radio host Amy Perez ays that finding balance in everything you do is the key to a healthier lifestyle. At the age of 45 she needs to be conscious with her overall health for her family and her career. And she shared that the reason why she’s very conscious with her health now more than ever is because she needs to be healthy for her children.

Being a mother to three amazing boys, a wife to a great husband and a career woman, the 45-year-old TV and radio host tries so hard to keep a balance between her family life and profession. However, she acknowledges that juggling jobs can be a real piece of work that might sacrifice other things such as health and wellness.

But the “Umagang Kay Ganda” host says that it’s all about balance and knowing one’s priorities.

“Mahirap siya if hindi mo magawang i-balance lahat. Time management lang naman ‘yan so I’m happy now na ‘yung workload ko is all in the morning,” she says.

TV and radio host Amy Perez says that her secret for being always on-the-go includes balanced diet, regular exercise and adequate fiber intake with the help of C-Lium Fibre.

With so much tasks at hand, Amy knows that she has to take care of her health. “I am 45 years old, and I am not getting any younger, therefore I need to be always healthy for myself and for my family.” Her consciousness about overall health is greatly influenced by her mom. Thanks to her mom, who always reminds her to take care of her body, that she learned the discipline of being mindful of her overall health. One of her mom’s repetitive reminders to the family is to have enough fiber intake every day.

“It was my mom who introduced C-Lium to me! She reminds us every day na dapat may fiber intake kami,” says Amy. “In our line of work, hindi maiiwasan that we eat less vegetables and fruits kaya I complement my diet with C-Lium Fibre to get the right amount of fiber every day.”

“A lot has changed since I became a mom! Everything and anything I do now have to be for the good of my boys,” says Amy. “No more partying and drinking like when I was younger! I have to make sure that I'm always ready and healthy for my boys.”

Amy also relates that having C-Lium as part of her daily diet helps her body to go further and to successfully accomplish all her tasks as a mother, a wife, and a TV and radio host.

“Because of C-Lium, I feel light and clean. It helps me go further every day with my work and enjoy my time with my kids kasi nga hindi ka feeling bloated at hindi ka hirap kumilos,” Amy shares.

C-Lium Fibre is made from natural psyllium plant, which is a good source of soluble and insoluble fibers.

According to the National Fiber Council, the soluble fiber in psyllium absorbs water, turns into gel, and attaches to food, sugars, cholesterol, and fats in the stomach.

It then helps to expel these from one’s digestive system. A high fiber diet also helps lower the risk of developing life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, certain forms of cancer, diabetes, and stroke. 

Taking C-Lium Fibre helps Amy Perez to feel light and clean, helping her go further and successfully accomplish all her tasks as a mother, a wife, and a TV and radio host.

For moms like her who are always on-the-go or just someone who is conscious with overall health, Amy advises that you should always find balance in everything you do.

She also shares that the time she became conscious with her regular fiber intake with the help of C-Lium, that’s the time she started feeling good about her body.

“Para sa mga mommies na on-the-go, minsan nakakalimutan na natin na isama sa diet natin ang enough vegetables and fruits. So, a good way to help our body is take C-Lium Fibre because it helps your body in a number of ways,” she says.

Apart from taking supplements like C-Lium and eating healthy, Amy also works out regularly. “I do pilates and zumba tapos pag medyo masakit yung likod ko, I do yoga. I mix these three together with the low calorie diet that I currently follow,” she asserts.

Being in the industry for almost 30 years already, the celebrity mom says that she can’t ask for more; she’s very thankful that her career was blessed with longevity.

“For me to be able to stay this long in this business is such a blessing already, ‘yun na ‘yung pinaka-fulfilment para sa akin. So, now, I am very eager naman to improve my health so I can perform better at my craft and always be there for my family. I believe na it’s never too late to choose that path so I advise everyone out there to have that initiative and consciousness na maging mindful sa kanilangoverall health,” says Amy.

C-Lium Fibre comes in two formats--husk powder and capsule form-- and is available in leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.

C-Lium, QC Target Biggest Zumba Party

Tweet

A new Guinness World Records™ Title for the Philippines may be just a few grooves away. 

In preparation for its upcoming 75th Diamond Jubilee anniversary, the local government of Quezon City, in cooperation with C-Lium Fibre, is dancing its way to a new world record as it attempts to stage the largest Zumba® class outdoor party on October 12 at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.

C-Lium Fibre brand not only aims to promote unity and community camaraderie through this event, but to also make it a celebration of fitness and fun, highlighting the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

C-Lium Fibre share the city government’s goal of encouraging Quezonians to “move as one.”

This potentially record-breaking Zumba® outdoor party is just one of the many exciting attractions lined up by the Quezon City government for its year-long anniversary.

“We are happy to announce that our application has been officially noted and accepted by the Guinness organization. In the spirit of unity, we are looking forward to making this event a big, fun-filled celebration for all,” said Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista.

The local government and C-Lium are targeting at least 9,000 attendees to actively participate in the one-hour, non-stop dance routine that incorporates Latin music and dynamic dance aerobics.

Non-Quezon City residents are also invited to join the historic event. “It is a free event, a colossal party that is open to everyone,” Bautista said.

This would be the country's first attempt to break the current Guinness World Records™ for the largest Zumba® class in a single venue, which gathered 6,671 participants in Hyderabad, India, last September 15, 2012.

‘Easy, fun, safe for all’

C-Lium and Quezon City also assure even those who haven’t experienced Zumba classes that the event would be entirely “easy, fun, safe and appropriately planned” to fit participants as young as 14 years old.

“No previous Zumba®, fitness, or dancing experience is required, they just need to follow the routines and, of course, the Guinness World Records™ guidelines, one of which calls for everybody in the entire class to participate to the best of their ability for at least 30 continuous minutes,” said Zumba® Fitness instructor Madelle Paltu-ob.

She further added that while the grand Zumba® party is set for October 12, they have been coming up with free pocket classes every week in all Quezon City districts throughout the month of September, as part of the preparations. 

Tadeo Palma, secretary for the Office of the Mayor and overall chairman of the Diamond Jubilee Committee, said that the Zumba® party is one important community activity that highlights the Quezon City government’s committed thrust to promote active, healthy lifestyles among its constituents. 

“We hope to inspire both Quezonians and non-Quezonians to commit to this kind of wellness routine not just for the momentary joy of setting a new world record, but for the long-term health benefits and fulfillment,” he said.

Psyllium is known to help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, reduce fat absorption, and maintain a healthy digestive system.Continuous intake of C-Lium Fibre and regular Zumba fitness sessions will definitely be a good combination that helps achieve a healthier lifeslyle.

C-Lium Brings International Zumba Expert Loretta Bates to Manila

Tweet

World-renowned Zumba instructor Loretta Bates to the Philippines to inspire Filipinos to have a healthier lifestyle is in Manila this October. 

Staying true to its advocacy of healthy living, C-Lium Fibre, together with Live Love Party International, brings Loretta Bates as she lead hundreds of Zumba enthusiasts in two special Zumba sessions in Bacolod City on October 4, and at The Playground, Ronac Art Center in San Juan, Metro Manila on October 5. This campaign will teach everybody that fitness programs can be fun and exciting, too. 

Zumba, which is performed primarily to the groove of lively music, is an aerobic fitness program inspired by various Latin American dance styles. It became a popular exercise amongst individuals, especially women, who found their usual gym routine monotonous and boring.

Loretta Bates is a Zumba education specialist, instructor, and ZIN (Zumba Instructor Network) member since 2007. She is also an ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified Personal Trainer and AFAA (Aerobic and Fitness Association of America) Certified Group Fitness Instructor, making her the right person to educate people on how to live a healthy and active lifestyle through Zumba. 

While she conducts most of her training sessions in North and South Carolina, she also travels around the world to promote her mission of helping others have better, healthier lives. And, C-Lium is very happy that she’s bringing her Zumba moves here to the Philippines. 

Bates shares the advocacy of C-Lium to live a healthier lifestyle by incorporating regular exercise and proper diet with a daily dose of fiber.

Nowadays, most people fail to get the body’s required 20 to 30 grams of daily fiber, which may make them more prone to diseases such as high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. Taking C-Lium Fibre everyday will help them achieve their fiber needs in a more convenient way. 

C-Lium Fibre is made from 100% natural psyllium plant which is a good source of soluble and insoluble fibers. According to the National Fiber Council, the soluble fiber in psyllium absorbs water, turns into a gel, then attaches to food, sugars, cholesterol, and fats in the stomach, and helps to expel them out of the digestive system. By doing so, the risk for many life-threatening diseases, such as heart disease, certain forms of cancer, diabetes and stroke may be reduced. 

C-Lium Fibre supports programs like Zumba to show its long-time commitment to promote active and healthy living for Filipinos.

C-Lium Fibre comes in husk powder and capsule variants and is available in leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.

What makes one of our local football superstars Anton del Rosario go further

Tweet

Anton del Rosario, one of our local football superstars, has been playing for the Azkals since 2003 and was part of the historic team that won the 2010 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup held in Vietnam and Indonesia.

With the globe’s attention on the World Cup still fresh, it’s inevitable that Filipinos hope that our national team, the Azkals, will someday clinch a spot. Considering that there was zero focus on the sport before the Azkals came along, and the phenomenal strides the team has taken in a relatively short period of time, it seems that it won’t be long before we see our own booters playing in the most watched sporting event in the world. 

Having played the sport for over a decade, Anton works hard and knows football from the inside out, and considers it primarily as a mental game.

“Playing football is my therapy,” he says. “When I play, I don’t have to think about things outside of football. More often than not, I’m happy in the field.”

Certainly, football is also a very physical game. It is something that Anton prepares for by eating well, sleeping anywhere from seven to eight hours in a day, and practicing in the field six days a week. In between training, Anton hits the gym to keep his body in tiptop shape. 

Anton del Rosario mixes C-Lium Fiber Husk powder, an all-natural fiber supplementation derived from psyllium plant, with his favorite beverages, such as orange juice.

“Fiber is necessary in your diet because I believe it helps cleanse your system. By being clean from the inside, you feel light. And because I feel lighter, I feel that I have a surplus of energy,” he says.

Another factor in his health arsenal is C-Lium Fibre, a fiber supplement made from 100 percent natural psyllium fiber . Anton says that it makes him feel light, something that is crucial for a sport that demands him to cover distances and tests his limits. 

“C-Lium makes me feel lighter,” he says. “And feeling lighter helps give a little bounce to my step.”

Anton, who is a native of San Francisco, California, already heard about the fiber supplement from his friend’s dad, whom he describes as a “serious health buff.” And even before he was tapped to become the brand ambassador of C-Lium, his curiosity stoked, this 5’11” powerhouse tried it.

For someone who lives an active lifestyle, Anton underscores the importance of fiber in one’s diet, in tandem with the protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats one consumes for daily nourishment. “Fiber is necessary in your diet because I believe it helps cleanse your system,” he says. “By being clean from the inside, you feel lighter. And because I feel lighter, I feel that I have a surplus of energy.”

It seems that he needs all the energy he can get now that Anton has been reinstated back to the Azkals, where he hopes to “be able to take a leadership role as an experienced player.” He has had training in this department, having been the team leader of Kaya Football Club, which is under the United Football League.

Though he may be pushing himself constantly and setting his limits high, Anton says that he keeps things in check by also taking care of the other things that matter to him. For instance, he makes sure that he gets to play football with his son Myles. 

“We already have Myles playing at the Kaya Academy and he loves it,” he says. “It’s good to have him involved at a young age.”

At six o’ clock in the morning, Anton del Rosario is already up and about, doing drills and practicing his football skills. Anton says that C-Lium Fibre makes him feel light, which helps bring a bounce to his step when he is out in the football field. 

For someone like Anton del Rosario who runs an active lifestyle, it’s important that he follows a balanced diet that includes a hearty supply of fruits and vegetables. To help ensure that he covers the recommended daily allowance of fiber, he drinks C-Lium Fibre at least twice a day 

By all indications, Anton is at the top of his game. It helps that he has everything covered—from his professional to his personal life, from diet to exercise, from good sleep to fiber supplementation. 

With this healthy lifestyle and the help of C-Lium, it’s no surprise that Anton, one of our local football superstars, can go the extra mile.

C-Lium Fibre is made from 100% natural psyllium fiber and is a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber. It comes in husk powder and capsule variants and is available in leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.

Ph most in-demand actress Mylene Dizon rides the wave to good health

Mylene Dizon

One of the country’s premier and most in-demand character actresses, Mylene Dizon has never looked so healthy, centered and beautiful.

Most celebrities have access to the best beauty treatments, Mylene states that her looks are but a reflection of the joy she has found in doing the activities she loves. 

Foremost among these is surfing. “It’s my main thing,” she says. “What I like about it is that all people are equal when it comes to the waves. It doesn’t matter what your status in life is, or who you are. It’s just between you and the waves.”

Her twice-monthly jaunts to La Union, Baler or Siargao to commune with the sea have taken on a deeper meaning.

“For me, it’s between God and myself,” Mylene says. “That’s when I pray and I see how great the ocean is. Before I go out to surf I pray for safety and I thank Him for the awesome waves as we’re just raring to go out there.”

She makes sure that she is in tiptop shape to face the demands of her day. Part of her health arsenal is to boost her fiber intake with C-Lium Fibre, a fiber supplement made from 100% natural psyllium fiber.

In her line of work and her newfound passion, she needs to constantly feel light to go the extra mile. “Taking C-Lium makes me feel light and good about myself,” she says. “I like knowing that whatever it is I put in my mouth will do me some good.”

Whether at work or at home, she consumes the product, usually in husk form.

Aside from making her feel light and easing her troubles when she has “difficulty moving,” Mylene says that it is also a plus for her that fiber helps decrease the absorption of bad cholesterol and slows down the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream. Her father, she says, is a diabetic and she is aware that the condition could be hereditary. “Taking C-Lium is my precaution as well,” she says.

Her belief in C-Lium is resolute, so much so that when the brand tapped her to become one of its ambassadors, she immediately said yes. “I have not partaken much of the endorsements particularly in social media because I have trouble doing it for money when I don’t believe in the product,” Mylene says. “But with C-Lium I was glad to do it because I actually like the product, it’s all-natural.”

At 40, Mylene is comfortable in her own skin and will not be easily swayed by fads. When it comes to her diet, for instance, she keeps it plain and simple. Before she goes to work, she drinks her favorite juice concoction that has, among its many ingredients, sugar beets, celery, carrots, cucumber, spinach and pineapple. Eating right is not a struggle for Mylene who, as a kid, always loved vegetables and avoided pork and beef.

Those who want to embark on a similar health wave as Mylene’s should make the decision and stand by it.

“Don’t be bothered by people laughing at you when you choose a healthy life,” she advises. “People tend to do that because I think it’s an insecurity for them: they can’t do it or they don’t want to do it. If you choose to live healthy, go for it and stick with the program. Eat healthy, choose the exercise that will make you happy and choose a natural supplement such as C-Lium and you’ll be right on track.”

Mylene Dizon is a self-avowed healthy eater, preferring to eat fruits and vegetables and ditching softdrinks and meat since she was young. Along with a healthy diet is her regular consumption of C-Lium Fibre, made from 100% natural psyllium fiber. Aside from making her feel light, she likes that psyllium fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which helps decrease the risk of diabetes.

Paying attention to inner health, being healthy inside and out

Health comes only from within. The most important is being healthy inside and out. Paying attention to inner health is the best way to be healthy and fit.

A great way to feel healthy is to stay in tune with your body and its needs. Our health is greatly determined by what happens inside our bodies. When our internal organs function at their optimum and our metabolic processes are running smoothly, this can be considered as having sound inner health. And when we have sound inner health, it will definitely manifest itself externally as a general appearance and feeling of wellness.

Taking care of one's inner health may seem a challenge considering the many unhealthy lifestyle choices one is offered every day. But by taking charge of what you eat, paying attention to good nutrition that includes the right amount of fiber, and not to mention being active and minimizing stress, you definitely get to live healthier and live more!

Inner health is influenced by a variety of factors like diet, physical activity and lifestyle choices in general. The food we eat, for instance, influences the level of sugar and cholesterol in our blood which, when it reaches an excessive level, may make us susceptible to diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular ailments.

Fortunately, Mother Nature has given us a treasure trove of wonders to help the body expel undesirable elements from its system. One of them is fiber, which is already part of our diet when we eat fruits, vegetables, and oats, among others. But the modern diet, which is high in carbohydrates and protein, is often lacking in fiber content. According to the US-based National Fiber Council (NFC), adults usually just consume half of the 32 grams of fiber that is recommended each day.

Hence, supplementation may be needed to fill the gap. Clinical studies have revealed that psyllium, from the shrub-like herb Plantago ovata, has one of the highest contents of fiber when compared to other sources. Psyllium is a good source of both soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. “Both are needed for a strong bill of health,” says the US-based National Fiber Council. In the Philippines, the C-Lium Fibre brand, is derived from 100 percent psyllium fiber from the plant’s husk.

The most apparent benefit of Psyllium is its promotion of gastrointestinal health. It works by increasing volume and water content of the stool, encouraging regularity. Fiber also binds with toxins, cholesterol and fat, expelling them out from the system. This means that a person who takes fiber everyday may have reduced risks for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. 

In a study published in the Current Topics of Nutraceutical Research (2009; Vol 7, No.2), reviewers concluded that “strong scientific evidence exists that regular consumption of Psyllium provides modest reductions in blood levels of LDL cholesterol as well as total cholesterol.”

Aside from this, Psyllium also helps promote a balanced intestinal flora, which helps in the promotion of intestinal health. "Fiber," says Dr. Alejandro Junger, author of Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself (2009) "feeds good bacteria” by being the latter's fuel source. 

With its multitude of health benefits, fiber is indeed vital to a person's diet. To introduce Psyllium fiber into your system, simply mix one sachet or 1 tablespoon of C-Lium Fibre in its husk form with half a glass of water or your favorite beverage. Take another glass of water immediately after. If in capsule form, take five C-Lium Fibre capsules twice a day. Drink a full glass of water after taking the capsules. It is recommended to take C-Lium Fibre 30 minutes before meals. Regular daily intake is also recommended.

Our overall health is determined by what happens inside our bodies. Adequate intake of fiber, for instance, helps prevent diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Fortunately, Mother Nature has given us psyllium, which has one of the highest contents of fiber. In the Philippines, C-Lium is made from 100% psyllium fiber, which makes it a good option in fiber supplementation.

Exercise is one of the key components of sound health, along with diet and supplementation. By complementing physical activity with fiber intake, such as C-Lium, which is derived from 100 percent psyllium fiber, one feels lighter and more energized, hence pushing the body to do more. 

Eating fruits and vegetables is a sure-fire way of introducing the healthy goodness of fiber in our system. The modern diet, however, places importance on carbohydrates and protein, which may result to fiber deficiency. Consumption of C-Lium Fibre in its husk form, an all-natural fiber supplement derived from the Psyllium plant’s husk, helps fill the gap, promoting inner health in the process. 

C-Lium Fibre is a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber and is made from 100% natural psyllium plant. Available in capsules and husk powder, each dose is natural and devoid of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, sweeteners, or other chemicals. Psyllium fiber helps reduce the risk of heart disease especially when incorporated with a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and coupled with exercise.
