Enjoy Life To The Fullest Like A Pro With Beko!

Tweet

It’s a brand new year, and we’re all filled with brand-new goals. This is the time wherein everyone is giddy and filled with high hopes when it comes to accomplishing the goals they have set for themselves. After all, everyone wants to live their lives to the fullest.

To do so, some are starting new workout routines, trying out new study and work methods, and some are committing themselves to begin their journey into a healthier lifestyle.

So, where can you begin your journey to a healthy lifestyle? It can quickly start at home.

Global appliance brand, Beko, offers sustainable and innovative home appliances that Filipino families can rely on when it comes to preparing their meals and taking care of their families as they create a healthier lifestyle they can truly enjoy.

Beko offers a wide range of home appliances, including refrigerators, cookers, and washing machines.

The HarvestFresh technology feature found on Beko’s refrigerator is a lifesaver for every Filipino home. This unique technology on the fridge’s crisper drawer uses an innovative three-color system to mimic the 24-hour cycle of the sun. This lets fruits and vegetables retain their freshness and preserve their vitamins as this technology keeps them in their natural environment after being harvested. This makes fruits and vegetables last longer when stored, reducing waste. Beko refrigerators also consume less energy as they are equipped with ProSmart Inverter Compressor. By consuming less energy, homeowners save money on their electric bills.

In addition to Beko’s refrigerators, Beko also offers a range of cookers and ovens. Beko’s Built-In ovens have Halogen Illumination, allowing one to see the food being cooked inside. CookMaster ovens also offer 82L of cooking capacity, which lets one cook lots of food as one can cook on up to five shelves simultaneously.

Compared to other cooking appliances, Beko’s built-in hobs let you cook faster and use less gas, which allows you to have more efficient cooking. Aside from this, Beko’s built-in hobs give you a safe cooking experience as they ensure gas safety. This feature detects when the hob’s flame is still running, automatically shutting off the gas supply.

Household chores usually take time to finish, especially laundry. It’s good that with Beko, you can do your laundry at ease with Beko’s range of washing machines and spend more quality time with your family.

Beko’s washing machine includes a fantastic feature called SteamCure Hygiene+ technology that helps clean and sanitizes your clothes while also being gentle to fabrics.

SteamCure Hygiene+ technology uses steam to soften stubborn and even dried-up stains. The smoke is released from the bottom of a Beko washing machine’s drum before it starts the wash cycle, making it an effective pre-treatment for stains.

Another batch of steam is released after the wash cycle. This helps smoothen out any unwanted creases and folds in clothes. This program also sanitizes and kills bacteria on garments, so every home stays safe and clean.

Beko continues to provide its customers with products that inspire and help them live healthy lifestyles, from nutrient-saving kitchen appliances to refrigerators that preserve food better for longer. This includes washing machines that save energy and pave the way for more quality time for you and your family. Thanks to Beko, healthy living becomes possible and convenient, allowing you to enjoy your life to the fullest with ease and just like a pro.

Beko is currently available in select All Home, Anson’s, Appliance Centrum, Asian Home Appliance, Automatic Centre, Fair N Square, Gloria Bazar, Great World, HAT, J Marketing, Lazada, Magic Appliance, Manhattan Appliance, Manila Imperial, Mike’s Appliances, Pricewise, Robinsons Appliance, Savers, Shopee, SM Appliance, Solidmark, S&R (Gidi), Western Appliance and 1st MegaSaver.

Live a Full and Active Senior Life with Birch Tree Advance

Tweet

It’s understood that seniors—elderly people ages 60 and up—have a higher risk of infection and hospitalization. But apart from the usual health problems they get due to their weakened immune system, seniors are also prone to other physical issues such as muscle loss and malnutrition. The elderly are prone to sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. On top of that, seniors are also likely to experience an imbalance or deficiency in nutrients. This is due to the body’s impaired utilization of nutrients it receives. The result of this is not just a slow but steady decrease in the body’s mental and physical capacities to protect itself from illnesses and infection. It also makes seniors more prone to fall risks due to lesser muscle mass and weaker bones and joints.

Proper diet can prevent muscle loss and malnutrition, as the right food and supplement intake can help the body develop age-appropriate immunity boost and muscle mass. But statistics show it can be a challenge. A 2020 study published in the US says one out of two older adults are at risk of being malnourished. And malnutrition-related hospital stays, the study adds, are more common in seniors than in young adults. It is also three times more likely to result in death for seniors. This is a pressing health concern as, according to the World Health Organization, one out of six people in the world will be 60 years old or older by 2030.

But a senior body is not helpless against the problems and issues of aging. Besides the usual check-ups with doctors and constant monitoring of important vitals, it’s best to minimize illness and physical risks by maintaining good health and muscle mass. Muscle mass can be maintained by good nutrition and exercise—both of which can also boost immunity. A diet with the appropriate vitamins and minerals can improve immunity and prevent muscle loss. Vitamin D is known to help improve muscle function, while calcium can help reduce bone loss. Vitamin A and C are essential to eye health, which can prevent vision impairment, disorientation, and poor balance. Vitamin B12 can help with mobility.

Birch Tree Advance is an affordable adult nutritional supplement drink that has these necessary nutrients. With the supervision of a doctor and a dietitian, Birch Tree Advance can serve as a meal replacement with protein that helps build muscle mass and 28 vitamins and minerals—such as Iron, Zinc, Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, and D, Calcium, Magnesium, and Omega 3 & 6—that help boost immunity.

“Seniors need specialized nutrition because they are going through unique challenges in their advanced age. Physically, it means losing strength and stamina they once had that lead older adults to a more sedentary lifestyle, reduced appetite and a cycle that goes back to a further decrease in muscle mass. A lot of seniors can end up with an overall poorer quality of life, a higher risk of injuries and also higher rates of disease, disability, and hospitalization if not given proper nutrition,” said Cheryl Singson, Nutritionist Dietitian of Century Pacific Food Inc.

With proper nutrition, seniors can be healthier, more active, and more mobile. Birch Tree Advance can help provide seniors with nutrition that will lead them to live a full and active life.
