As the world copes with the COVID-19 pandemic, we realize that our priorities have changed. Family and health are now two of the most important things in our lives. In our new normal, we prioritize our health and well-being. 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
Physical activity helps boost the immune system and improve our mood. It makes us more alert during the day. Spend 30 minutes everyday to stretch and do some cardio and simple exercises. If you have an indoor cycling bike, you can hop on that after a few stretching exercises or you could involve the whole family in a simple cardio workout.
Eat right
Your diet is reflected by the current state of your health. What you eat has short- and long-term effects on your immune system and overall wellbeing. Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods such as citrus fruits, red bell peppers, garlic, ginger, leeks, squash, carrots, eggplants and camote into your diet. One thing I make sure to drink every day is Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea because tea is also an antioxidant.
Get quality sleep
Reducing the time you spend in front of your TV or scrolling through your gadgets is one of the things you can do to ensure that you get a good night’s sleep. Sleeping well is good for your immune system. It will also protect you from other health issues. Try to get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night. You can do this by lessening the number of naps you take during the day and reducing your caffeine intake.
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.
