Ito ang Dugong Pinoy! 3 Mommies Share How They Keep Their Blood Healthy to Strengthen Their Immunity

Tweet

2020 has presented numerous challenges to Filipinos, more so, to women. The stress and pressure of pushing forward have left a lot of Filipinas with more on their plates than they could handle. Despite this, women have continued to be the main care providers of their homes, their children, all on top of maintaining a full-time career.

This leaves us wondering, how do Filipinas keep their bodies healthy for their families? We asked three Filipinas how they were able to push through with their daily responsibilities on top of taking good care of their loved ones and still serve as a greater inspiration for many women.

Besides the usual chores and daily tasks, Mommy Jenica shares that she has been busy with her home-based business making cakes and baked goods. With a business that requires her to exert time and attention to detail being loaded with multiple orders, this leaves her exhausted. "’Yung pagod ka na pero mas napagod ka sa ligpitin. But thankfully I have my husband... to help me.” And yet she continues to struggle keeping her health in check since she took on more responsibilities in their household.

Mommy Anne on the other hand, found herself decluttering as her biggest and most fulfilling challenge on top of taking care of her family. She juggles her night shift full-time job and being a full-time mom during the day. “Sleep was something that was so scarce. Still is. And I’m definitely feeling the adverse impact to my health.”

While for Mommy Ria, due to the educational system shifting to homeschooling, she had to take initiative as her child’s teacher. “Preparing lessons and activities took my time and energy on top of the usual household chores and part-time work.”

Like many Filipinas, they have a lot of tasks to do on a daily, which leads them to skip meals and overwork. According to Mommy Anne, the past year has led her to closely monitor her health, which many moms can relate to. With their careers and household responsibilities happening all at the same time, it’s easy to lose track of their immunity. How do they maintain their blood healthy? 

With the help of Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).

By eating nutritious meals, practicing regular exercise, getting proper sleep, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to help maintain their blood health and keep their immunity at its peak. Through these routines, they’re able to keep up with their tight schedules and provide the care that their families need.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt that allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for the production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production. 1

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

As a blood health ally of many Filipinas, Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps to treat iron-deficiency anemia that can lead to decreased immunity and increased susceptibility to infection. Iron deficiency anemia happens when the blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal. This can cause the body to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. 2

As 2020 nears its end, Filipinos are hopeful for the positive changes that the new year holds especially to their family’s health. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) supports empowered women to maintain their blood health in check and keep their immunity at its peak so they can continue to provide the care that their family needs while being able to accomplish their daily tasks.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Tweet

The TCL 20 SE blends a nature-inspired design with exceptional performance and affordability, offering an upgrade to handle the needs of today’s consumer, with improved imaging, solid performance, and longer battery life.

“After the successful launch of the TCL Mobile brand, 2021 will be a very important year for TCL’s business as we build on the momentum established last year and continue to grow as one of the world’s largest end-to-end global consumer electronics brands,” said Aaron Zhang, CEO of TCL Communication. “This year, our TCL-branded mobile devices highlight an increased focus on strengthening our TCL ecosystem by making 5G connectivity more affordable and accessible to people around the world, without compromising the premium features and design associated with TCL.”

The 20 SE features the latest TCL-made display and the next generation of NXTVISION, TCL’s proprietary advanced display optimization and camera technology. NXTVISION provides users with improvements to the video and image display experience, including improved SDR to HDR conversion, enhanced color calibration, and more eye safety features.

TCL 20 SE: A Cinematic Experience On-the-Go

The affordable new TCL 20 SE has all the features associated with an advanced smartphone, along with a superior video entertainment system for those looking to take their A/V experiences to the next level. Stunning video performance is delivered via a 6.82-inch, V notch display with a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio for a maximized viewing experience, along with a 20.5:9 screen ratio which provides broad, cinematic-like viewing performance in a slim form. To take further advantage of the large display, the TCL 20 SE also features a Smart Floating Window, which lets users browse the web or reply to messages while watching videos; the feature is triggered by swiping to the right or left corner and can be adjusted in size or move about anywhere on the screen. 

 

The TCL 20 SE also provides outstanding video playback through SDR-to-HDR technology. Thanks to NXTVISION technology, color, contrast, and clarity are all enhanced while videos are being enjoyed in real-time. The smartphone’s dual speaker design also improves the audio experience—no speakers are blocked when the device is hand-held—and it is also compatible with Hi-Res Audio certification. To power all these features, the TCL 20 SE has a Qualcomm® octa-core chipset and a 5,000mAh battery. It also comes with an OTG Reverse Charging capability, making it possible to top up the battery of smaller gadgets.

 

While maximized video entertainment and power are the foundations of the TCL 20 SE, the device’s quad rear camera comes with AI-powered color portrait and sky enhancement features, which are designed to automatically detect the intended subjects and adjust the background for more epic shots. Additionally, the new AI Object Eraser can clear out people or objects in the background.

 

The TCL 20 SE is available this April 2021 in Nuit Black and Aurora Green across multiple store outlets in the Philippines.

 

TCL Multi-Screen Collaboration

As another benefit of TCL’s deep vertically integrated ecosystem, the company will introduce its upcoming multi-screen collaboration efforts between select TCL 20 Series smartphones, tablets, televisions, and PCs at CES 2021. Through simple wireless connections like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC, TCL will make it possible to seamlessly transfer files and multimedia from one device to another; fuse your phone to your PC for quick and easy multi-tasking or cast your smartphone screen to larger displays like tablets and televisions. More details to come later this year. 

TCL 20 SE is exclusively distributed by VSTECS Phils., Inc. and is available through its accredited retailers nationwide. For pricing, availability, and promotions, please email marketing@msi-ecs.ph or visit:

Tweet

The TCL NXTPAPER and TCL TAB 10s—made to keep up with the productivity and entertainment needs of today’s remote professionals and students. Leveraging the company’s competence in display manufacturing, the TCL NXTPAPER will be the first commercially available tablet to use the company’s innovative colored e-ink display technology, and the TCL TAB 10s provides an affordable learning experience with a large screen and stylus. 

“NXTPAPER technology is a prime example of the Display Greatness philosophy that TCL Mobile has embodied since it launched over a year ago and showcases how a vertically integrated ecosystem can help produce innovative new products quickly and affordably,” said Stefan Streit, General Manager of Global Marketing for TCL Communication. “This new type of display will directly benefit remote workers and students alike, bringing new features that help encourage productivity, make life easier, and keep our eyes safe.”

The company’s proprietary NXTPAPER technology, announced last fall at IFA 2020 in Berlin, achieves stunning display performance with a highly reflective IPS screen that utilizes innovative TCL technology to reuse natural light, resulting in vivid, full-color reproduction with no blue light or flicker. TCL NXTPAPER display technology provides 25 percent higher contrast than most e-ink tablets and is also more than 65 percent more power-efficient than standard LCD screens, providing better battery life. It also provides for smoother video playback, ensuring optimized usage for learning, work, and leisure activities.

 

Intended specifically for larger format devices, NXTPAPER provides a paper-like visual experience in full high-definition resolution, with considerably less eye strain and fatigue compared to most tablets. 

 

TCL NXTPAPER Delivers Performance, Along with Eye Safety

It features an 8-inch FHD NXTPAPER screen that offers a dual visual experience of paper-and-screen with zero flicker or harmful blue light.

 

For students and professionals, the TCL NXTPAPER is powered by an octa-core processor and features a strong 5500mAh battery for over a full day of use to accompany your work or study hours. It also has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera for remote classroom learning, video teleconferences, presentations, and more.

 

The TCL NXTPAPER comes with a Kids Learning option, providing a child-friendly user interface and parental controls. It also works with Google Assistant, allowing users to seamlessly manage tasks, get answers to questions, and play music using voice commands. To make sure users can both effectively connect and contribute on video calls or during virtual classes, the tablet offers both Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity. Moreover, it has received eye protection certification from TUV Rheinland to ensure your eyes are protected from harmful light.

 

Starting from April 2021, the TCL NXTPAPER will be available in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Asia Pacific.

 

TCL TAB 10s Offers Students and Families Outstanding Performance and Value

Offering a best-in-class viewing experience, along with plenty of power to drive productivity, the new TCL TAB 10s tablet is designed with today’s remote learners and their parents in mind.

 

Featuring a 10.1-inch screen, an octa-core processor which gives students the speed they need to process almost any online task, and a large capacity 8000mAh battery that provides up to eight hours of video playback and up to two weeks of standby time, the TCL TAB 10s is the ideal tech companion.

 

For studying anytime at any place, TCL’s newest tablet can also provide 4G LTE mobile communication, that allows you to access content from virtually anywhere, as well as participate in online classroom lessons or video calls without worry. Plus, students will be heard as well as seen clearly, thanks to the device’s dual microphones and speaker system, along with its front camera ensuring effective group communication.

 

Parents will appreciate the key features designed to help them manage their children’s time online, with an independent parental control interface and remote control that gives them the option to manage both their student’s study and rest time, and the ability to control any third-party apps being used on the device. The TCL TAB 10s also comes with POGO pin connectors to support additional third-party accessories, as well as the stylish TCL T-Pen stylus, which offers a smooth, natural pencil-on-paper type of experience with ultra-low latency.

 

For improved eye safety, the TCL TAB 10s display also features intelligent eye protection with integrated brightness and tonality control in daylight and low-light conditions. It offers a flicker-free performance with no blue light and a smart alert that tells users when they get fewer than 9 inches (25 centimeters) from the screen.

Beginning in March 2021, the TCL TAB 10s will be available in the EU, North America, the Middle East, Africa, China, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

Small Steps You Can Take to Help Save Mother Earth

Tweet

This Earth Day, learn to protect our planet and live more sustainably by purchasing products from Shopee's Shop Green sale

While not a major contributor to the global climate crisis, the Philippines is still part of the top 25% of low and middle income countries that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions. With Earth Day right around the corner—and carbon dioxide levels hitting an all-time high—it’s time to make a change.

Though there are larger entities that create a wider-scale impact, that doesn’t mean you can’t do your part to help curb the damage! The planet still needs a global solution in order to significantly reduce carbon emissions, but there are things that you can do on your own to lessen your ecological footprint.

First things first, educate yourself. They say knowledge is power. Before we can change the way we live, we need to understand why we need to do so. Read up and educate yourself on the consequences of the climate crisis on future generations and our individual and collective responsibilities. Share your knowledge when you can. This simple act can help us improve our relationship with Mother Earth. 

Here are other tips that you can easily do at home: 

Eat low on the food chain. 

Red meat is one of the biggest contributors to harmful emissions. We know giving up steak forever is hard, but once in a while, try swapping out red meat and processed food for plant-based meat. Even better, consider alternatives such as fish, fruits, and vegetables. Aside from reducing your personal carbon footprint, you can enjoy a healthier diet! It’s also a great way to support our local farmers and fishermen.

Use eco-friendly household products. 

Since most of us are quarantining at home, our household product consumption has increased. Unfortunately, many of these daily essentials, such as toothbrushes, shampoos, and cleaning materials, are made with toxic chemicals that harm the environment. Luckily, more brands have developed sustainable products that we can use as alternatives.

Plant your own garden. 

Many of us recently unleashed our inner plantitos and plantitas. It’s fun, therapeutic, and one of the best ways we can practice environmental stewardship! Your plant babies can help get rid of toxic air released by furniture and electronics. Growing an urban garden and eating your own vegetables can also help reduce the impact of transporting produce, which takes up a lot of energy. Growing and caring for your plants will benefit your overall physical and mental well-being, all while helping fight climate change.

Reduce consumption of single-use plastics.

Disposable utensils, straws, and plastic water bottles are convenient when you’re on the go, but they’re also bad for the environment. These single-use plastics all end up in landfills and waterways. However, the simple act of substituting these items with more sustainable options is already a big step towards positive change. Avoid using them and instead, purchase reusable products that can last you for years to come.

Upgrade your kitchen and keep food fresh with XTREME Cool Side-by-Side Inverter Refrigerator

Tweet

In the past years, innovations in home appliances have changed our lives considerably. The latest trends in home appliances aim to transform our households into a more versatile abode and a space for comfort and efficiency. XTREME Appliances, known for bringing innovations and quality home appliance products, has been taking notes on how to simplify our day-to-day life while inspiring a modern way of living, thus launching a new product under XTREME Cool solutions — the XTREME Cool Side-by-side Inverter Refrigerator (XCOOL-SideBySide20IG).

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the way we perceive the importance of technology. With most of the people confined to their homes, working remotely and home-schooling, the human’s dependency on technology, especially on home appliances and consumer electronics, has risen. The efficiency of our appliances can help us survive this stressful and overwhelming lifestyle of this new normal. Luckily, XTREME Appliances introduces this new product that makes every home smart and convenient.

XTREME COOL Side-by-side Inverter Refrigerator (XCOOL-SIDEBySIDE20IG)

With people cooking at home more than ever, the demand for food storage space has risen exponentially. Refrigerators keep our food from spoiling, provide cool beverages in the middle of summer heat, and help limit our trip to the grocery store, which is being encouraged due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the country. The 19.8 cu. ft. XTREME COOL Side-by-Side Inverter Refrigerator (XCOOL-SIDEBySIDE20IG) is the ultimate choice for a spacious, convenient, and efficient way of preserving the freshness of our food. This boasts a combination of elegant and novel appearance and innovatively powerful technology for the modern Filipino lifestyle.

 

This two-door refrigerator delivers tons of storage spaces, adjustable shelves and compartments, capacious fruits and vegetable crisper drawers, as well as bright LED lights to let you see what’s tucked away. It has a no-frost feature that does not require defrosting and is able to limit the formation of mildew or odors inside the refrigerator. This new refrigerator comes with a digital touch panel on the door that allows you to adjust temperatures and settings easily with a simple touch without having to open the refrigerator door. This helps save energy by retaining the cooling.

Compared to a refrigerator unit that has a regular compressor, the XTREME COOL Side-by-Side Refrigerator is powered with an inverter compressor, saving about 25% electricity consumption. This enables the unit to operate according to the temperature in the refrigerator — runs at full speed when it needs cooling down and stops completely when the temperature is low enough.

Moreover, it is an environmentally friendly product as the freon-free refrigerant and foaming insulation materials are used for the fridge freezer, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a minimal impact on global warming.

XTREME COOL Side-by-side Inverter Refrigerator is priced at Php 47, 995.
