4 Creative Ways to Strengthen Your Loved Ones’ Immunity & Blood Health

Tweet

The past year has been tough for many — all the while adapting to the new routines to stay healthy and safe, relationships were altered in unimaginable ways. Being around your loved ones 24/7 can cause a strain in the relationship.1 The idea of being under one roof with them might seem enjoyable but not until the boredom sets in, followed by conflict. Meanwhile, those who are in an LDR situation have limited to no assurance of being able to visit each other. These situations can lead to stress which then affects your immune system and blood health.

But all hope is not lost. Whether you spend most of your time with your loved ones or are miles apart, here are four ideas on how to express TLC — because they deserve to feel cared for, especially for their well-being.

1. For those who appreciate words than actions

This gift is maybe for that friend who saves your most meaningful conversations or your parent whose face brightens up when you send them a thank you message. This is for those who think that words speak louder than actions. Writing a heartfelt letter to a loved one who’s fond of affirmation, is already enough for them. But you can always go beyond. Include friends, family, and loved ones to write a short letter for them and compile it as a notecard or as notes in a bottle. This way they are reminded that they are loved even at times that they feel the most need to.

2. When they would rather spend time with you

Not everyone is able to appreciate the usual V-day staple gifts. Sometimes, material things aren’t always ideal for those who just want to spend time with you — all they need is time with you. Your full presence and attention are greatly appreciated by people who enjoy spending quality time. Also, being with your loved one knows no distance. A video call for them matters so much more than you may imagine, especially when you’re miles apart. So, whether if it’s just a movie marathon night, a virtual game night, or a weekend spa day at home, they’ll definitely feel cared for and grateful for your time and attention.

3. Be there when they need your help

Helping your loved ones in need of extra help is also another way of making them feel loved through actions. This is for those who are always swamped with work, chores, and daily tasks that they would feel most taken care of when others are able to notice that they also need help. This can be expressed through doing their chores for them, serving them breakfast in bed in the morning, or running an errand that they may have mentioned before. Doing deeds is how they may show their affection and that’s how they best receive it too.

4. Gift them a healthy blood for strong immunity when they most need it

Attentiveness to your loved ones’ needs is one of the many ways to make them feel special and appreciated. Paying attention to their lifestyle, and health condition should be of top priority given the current situation. When you notice and feel that they’re having little to no sleep, looking paler, and easily gets tired — they might be experiencing Iron deficiency anemia. This occurs when the blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal. Iron deficiency anemia can cause the body to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. 2

------------------

Offer your loved ones the help they need by cooking them nutritious meals, encouraging regular exercise, getting proper sleep, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to help maintain their blood health.

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 which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for 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. 3

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

Love knows no bounds, just as much as stress knows no limits. Keep your loved one’s blood healthy through maintaining a healthy diet, encouraging physical activity, and taking with Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) that treats iron deficiency anemia that can lead to weakened immunity and increased susceptibility to infection.

When you feel like you’ve ran out of ideas on how to express your affection to someone, you can always try these four recommendations. In these times, grand or not, what matters most is your loved ones maintain strengthened immunity and a heathy blood with the help of Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

5 Ways to spoil your fur-mily

Tweet

While dog parents are everywhere, there sure are lots of felinophiles too. It’s difficult not to be captivated by the mysteriousness that envelopes these rather aloof creatures, but we sure also cannot help ourselves from drowning with cuteness every time they purr and show their affectionate side.

With that, all our furry friends are just as good extension of a family, and there is no greater joy than showering them with loads of love—one great way to do this is by spoiling them! Here are some things you can do as a fur parent to give your babies a fun-tastic time:

Give some baked delights. Months of staying indoors has undeniably brought out the culinary aptitude of almost everyone. This is now time to wear your apron and whisk away to treat your fur babies to delicious baked goodies because honestly, what can make their tail wag more excitedly than mouthwatering nibbles? Make snack-time more special by giving them something made just for them. You can try peanut butter cookies or the quick and easy sweet potato fries.

Beat the heat with frozen treats. It is no surprise to pet owners that frozen delicacies are especially popular among our canine and feline babies. However, instead of an additional ice cream purchase on your next grocery store visit, you may opt for homemade popsicles to make sure that your pet stays away from harmful ingredients. Some ingredients you can easily find at home and throw in the freezer are the ever popular peanut butter (make sure its Xylitol-free) and mashed banana.

Pamper Away. Just like us, our fur-mily needs to be pampered from time to time. Bring them to your local pet salon and get their fur and nails done. For an extra swoosh to finish off an indulgent day out, you may treat them to a relaxing massage.

Buy a New Toy. Some fur babies enjoy nibbling or scratching the most random stuff at home but this surely shouldn’t stop you from getting them a new toy. Who knows, they may find a new best friend in the form of a dinosaur plushie or never let go of your newly purchased tennis ball.

Introduce Them to Smart Living. As our fur-mily include our valued pets, it is only fair to also let them indulge in smart living. With the Cherry Pet Smart Pet Feeder, schedule the meal time of your dogs and felines. This is perfect for busy furents as you can conveniently look after your babies regardless of your schedule. You can also see them and talk to them with this device’s two-way audio control asa well as photo and video capture. Meanwhile, the Cherry Pet Smart Pet Fountain has a three-stage filtration system to ensure that your furball only drinks potable water, especially after chowing. This can be controlled remotely using a smartphone and also features a timer for scheduled function.

Give your pets the best treatment and make sure to grab the Cherry Pet Smart Pet Feeder and Cherry Pet Smart Pet Fountain for P4,400 each.

Huawei Opens Its Largest Global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Transparency Center in China

Huawei advocates for industry-wide capability building, knowledge sharing, and tighter coalitions

[Dongguan, China, June 9, 2021] Huawei opened its largest Global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Transparency Center in Dongguan, China today, with representatives from GSMA, SUSE, the British Standards Institution, and regulators from the UAE and Indonesia speaking at the opening ceremony.

Along with the opening of the new center, Huawei also released its Product Cyber Security Baseline, marking the first time the company has made its product security baseline framework and management practices available to the industry as a whole. These actions are part of the company's broader efforts to engage with customers, suppliers, standards organizations, and other stakeholders to jointly strengthen cyber security across the industry.

"Cyber security is more important than ever," said Ken Hu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, at the opening of the Dongguan center. "As an industry, we need to work together, share best practices, and build our collective capabilities in governance, standards, technology, and verification. We need to give both the general public and regulators a reason to trust in the security of the products and services they use on a daily basis. Together, we can strike the right balance between security and development in an increasingly digital world."

Ken Hu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, speaks at the opening of Huawei's Global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Transparency Center in Dongguan, China

Over the past few years, industry digitalization and new technologies like 5G and AI have made cyberspace more complex than ever, compounded by the fact that people have been spending a greater portion of their lives online throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These trends have led to a rise in new cyber security risks.

Huawei opened the new Global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Transparency Center in Dongguan to address these issues, providing a platform for industry stakeholders to share expertise in cyber governance and work on technical solutions together. The center is designed to demonstrate solutions and share experience, facilitate communication and joint innovation, and support security testing and verification. It will be open to regulators, independent third-party testing organizations, and standards organizations, as well as Huawei customers, partners, and suppliers.

To further a unified approach to cyber security in the telecoms industry, organizations like GSMA and 3GPP have also been working with industry stakeholders to promote NESAS Security Assurance Specifications and independent certifications. These baselines have seen wide acceptance in the industry, and will play an important role in the development and verification of secure networks.

Mats Granryd, Director General of GSMA, spoke at the opening of Huawei's new center. "The delivery of existing and new services in the 5G era will rely heavily on the connectivity provided by mobile networks and will fundamentally depend on the underlying technology being secure and trusted," he said. "Initiatives such as the GSMA 5G Cybersecurity Knowledge Base, designed to help stakeholders understand and mitigate network risks, and NESAS, an industry-wide security assurance framework, are designed to facilitate improvements in network equipment security levels across the sector."

At the event, Huawei also released its Product Cyber Security Baseline, the culmination of over a decade of experience in product security management, incorporating a broad range of external regulations, technical standards, and regulatory requirements. The Baseline, together with Huawei's other governance mechanisms, helps ensure the quality, security, and trustworthiness of the company's products. Over the years, Huawei has built over 1,500 networks that connect more than three billion people across 170 countries and regions. None of these networks have ever experienced a major security incident.

"This is the first time we've shared our security baseline framework with the entire industry, not just core suppliers," said Sean Yang, Director of Huawei's Global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Office. "We want to invite all stakeholders, including customers, regulators, standards organizations, technology providers, and testing organizations, to join us in discussing and working on cyber security baselines. Together, we can continuously improve product security across the industry."

At present, the industry still lacks a standards-based, coordinated approach, especially when it comes to governance, technical capabilities, certification, and collaboration.

"Cybersecurity risk is a shared responsibility," concluded Ken Hu in his opening remarks. "Governments, standards organizations, and technology providers need to work closer together to develop a unified understanding of cyber security challenges. This must be an international effort. We need to set shared goals, align responsibilities, and work together to build a trustworthy digital environment that meets the challenges of today and tomorrow."
