Come One, Come All at The VegFest Pilipinas 2018 and Let There Be Peace On Every Plate

If you are a vegan, vegetarian, or veg-curious just like I am, this is an event well-worth going to this weekend. The VegFest Pilipinas 2018. 

It is no secret that I am slowly but surely transitioning into plant-based lifestyle. I have been throwing hints here and there in some of my blog posts and I am grateful that some of my beloved readers are very supportive. Some of you even asked me to blog more about vegan/vegetarian/plant-based recipes that I am learning these days. So I figured, it would be nice to share about the food festival I am excited about. 

Similac Gain School HMO: Check it Out on Lazada 11-11 SALE!

My nephews are in preschool and our main concern always at this stage in their lives are their health and learning development. It used to stressed us a lot because preschool age is the stage wherein kids immune system is still developing therefore making them more susceptible to sickness like cold, coughs, asthma, allergies, and other infections.  Almost every week, one of them is either down with flu or nursing an allergy. If that scenario is not stressful, I don't know what is. 

What more stressful about it is the fact that the kids are missing the opportunity to enjoy and learn new things at school because of their ailments are keeping them at their beds. The sickness was putting a halt into their learning development and it was really concerning. 

Glucerna SR Triple Care

Living with diabetes is no walk in the park. I should know, my mother has been living with it since her late 40s and she is now in her 60s. As a family, we make it a point to be with her in her journey and not to make her feel alone in dealing with it. Diabetes can be really depressing to deal with, as I was told. One minute your blood sugar is as fine as it can be, and the next thing you know it has suddenly skyrocketed to 500 or dug itself to an equally scary low digits. 

Managing blood sugar level into a balance state is not a piece of cake - no pun intended.  A diabetic patient must always be careful with their food consumption otherwise, their blood sugar can create havoc to their system. Uncontrolled blood sugar can lead to long-term problems and complications to the patient's overall health.

Recharge School Kids’ Nutrition: The Powerful Potato to the Rescue!

I was at my nephew's school the other day to give a career talk to their upper class men. After my talk, I dropped by his classroom to say hi when I noticed that almost half of his classmates were absent. I was told that the kids were sick and that the weather must have taken its toll on their health. It was really concerning because it will be their exam week soon. 

This reminds me that with the kind of weather we have now, we should exert an extra effort in taking care of our family especially the kids. My sister is a nurse, so, she's very particular in teaching my nephew the precautionary measures to avoid getting sick. I on the other hand, is the chef in our family, hence, I am assigned to look after the nutritional needs of our household.
