There is no doubt that our priorities have changed. Right now, family and good health are all that matter as we wait for the pandemic to be over. As we now turn our attention toward making good health a new way of life, you can count on Watsons to be with you every step of the way. Here are a few recommendations from Watsons on what you can do at home to help keep your immunity strong and your family healthy.
Be active
Being fit is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. Physical activity of at least 30 minutes a day has immediate and long-term health benefits. The World Health Organization has said that physical activity can "reduce the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer, depression and the risk of falls." The workouts don't need to be complicated. There are many videos of simple home workouts on YouTube that you can check out. Remember to warm up before any exercise to avoid tearing or pulling a muscle.
Eat right
Eating well benefits us in the long term by strengthening the immune system and helping the body fight illnesses. Antioxidant-rich foods such as citrus fruits, red bell peppers, garlic, ginger, leeks, squash, carrots, eggplants and camote can be incorporated into our diet. Because tea is also an antioxidant, you can drink Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea after meals.
Get quality sleep
A good night's sleep boosts your immune system, improves your emotional wellbeing and helps your body recover from the stresses of the day. Make your bedroom a mo-TV, no-gadget place at night and stop taking naps during the day so you get a good night's sleep. Dim the lights and go off to dreamland.
Take vitamins regularly
Your body needs a completely balanced diet for it to get all the vitamins and minerals that it needs to function everyday and defend it against illnesses. Vitamins serve as a bridge so that your body gets the nutrients that it needs. Vitamin C, for instance, is believed to increase the production of white blood cells, which are important in fighting infections. Pro tip: Stock up on your supply with Watsons Generics Ascorbic Acid.
Vitamin C isn’t the only vitamin that can keep you healthy. Enervon Activ Soft Gel helps boost immunity and promotes healthy hair and skin. Myra E 400IU, on the other hand, is also rich with Vitamin E to help fight cell damage. For the kids, let’s help support their growth not just in height but in strength with Growee Syrup or Cherifer PGM with Zinc capsules.
Top up with supplements
Like vitamins, supplements are a great way to give your health an extra boost. They also have antioxidants that can do a lot of good for your mind and body. They can include supplements like MET Tathione, NU Essence Collagen and Organique Acai Juice. You can also keep your defenses up with supplements that harness the power of natural ingredients such as MX3 capsules and Watsons Generics Malunggay + Mangosteen.
Be prepared
Preparedness is key to protection, so make sure you have your health essentials to help your home stay ready for any health emergency. These include Lola Remedios, Strepsils, and Prosource Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, know that you can count on these items being available at Watsons.
