Parenting 101: Smart ways to shaping your child’s gift
At an early age, our kids already display natural abilities, especially when they go through their daily activities. Some children have a knack for drawing or music, while others show physical strength or a unique capacity to learn things fast.
According to Dr. Leticia Ho, president and founder of the Philippine Center for Gifted Education, these abilities can turn into special talents and gifts when we nurture and encourage their development.

However, we made sure we eat out and bond every weekend.

Why brown rice is the healthier option
Apart from the morning pandesal, rice is the most common food staple in the Filipino dining table, be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even merienda. It’s simply something that Pinoys can’t eat without.
Eating white rice, especially with sumptuous dishes, can really be filling, but it could also significantly add to one’s weight.
Thankfully, Filipinos have an alternative to having steamed rice for their everyday meals—brown rice.

5 Tips to Achieve Your Fitness Resolutions from Dietitian-Nutritionist Cheshire Que
We’d love to say the word resolution and all of that promises we’ve made for 2018. However, it can be oftentimes over-the-top and unrealistic, especially if it’s about eating healthy and getting fit.
That’s why we’ve sought the help of Dietitian-Nutritionist Cheshire Que to share strategies that shun quick fixes in favor of results-producing changes. Here’s how to live mindfully without feeling overwhelmed:
⦁ Catch up on your 8-hour sleep. By sleeping eight hours a day, you are doing yourself a favor. Not to mention, a world of good to your mood, memory, and immune system! Lack of sleep also contributes to weight gain and obesity that wrecks your monthly period.
⦁ Go easy on sweets and fried food. You’ve had too much during the holidays and now is the time to detox. Balance out your calorie intake and minimize the junk foods in your life, a.k.a fried, sweet, and salty. Excessive amounts make you cramp, bloat, and may cause a sudden rise and fall on your sugar levels thus affecting your mood as well.
⦁ Eat fresh. Fruits and vegetables cleanse the digestive system, clear the skin, and promote weight loss. Regular bowel movement especially during your red days keep you light and less bloated. And because they’re high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, it helps to increase your satiety, making you feel full in just a few, smaller servings! Forget drastic and fad diets, stock up on these veggies instead, which are highly recommended by Dietitian-Nutritionist Cheshire Que:
⦁ Ampalaya - rich in iron and has insulin-like properties that help control blood glucose
⦁ Malunggay and other dark, leafy veggies – also rich in iron which boosts and promotes good mood & combats fatigue
⦁ Carrots – high in Vitamin A for a healthy, glowing skin
⦁ Kangkong or Chinese Spinach – packed with high amount of calcium for stronger bones
⦁ Chayote – full of fiber that promotes digestive health and folate for DNA synthesis and healthy blood cells
If you are serious about infusing your food with nutrient-dense ingredients, keeping a food journal is a great way to set up your meal plan to success. That way, it encourages you to consume fewer calories and provide the motivation that you need every single day!
⦁ Take a multivitamin supplement if your intake of nutrient-rich foods is inadequate. Minimizing salty and sweet food you badly crave does not mean you become instantly healthy. The absence of nutritious foods is a red flag that should be addressed too. An iron supplement may help prevent iron deficiency anemia for those with heavy menstrual flow. Take multivitamins that have all the necessary vitamins including calcium for strong bones and folate for a healthy heart and sound mind.
⦁ Move. Move. Move. All that daily inactivity is the biggest health hazard you’re up against. Desk jobs, long commutes, and too much Facebook and Netflix –is about as fattening as a steady diet of bacon and hotdogs. Here are some ways to stand up and just go: walk around your home while on the phone, dance while cooking, wash your car instead of taking it to the car wash, grab a coffee “to go” and walk as you sip! Mindful movement can offset all the sitting you can’t avoid and may help you to burn more calories a day.
And if you find yourself constantly using your period as an excuse to not go to the gym, take it from restaurateur and blogger Dianne Salazar. She said, “That time of the month doesn’t need to hinder you from physical activities like working out. It actually helps you feel less sluggish and boosts your mood. I do CrossFit almost everyday even when I’m on my period and I need not worry about leaks and discomfort, thanks to Jeunesse Anion All Night Pad! It gives me maximum protection even when I lift heavy weights.”
Ladies, your period is a gift and it should not stop you from reaching your fitness goals. Use quality sanitary pads to make sure you are worry-free and fully protected from leaks. By changing your pad every four to five hours, it helps to ward off bacterial growth that causes odor.
With Jeunesse Anion pads, you don’t have to think about leaks and stains as its seven layers of powerful protection made of dirt-free and sterilized virgin pulp is gentle on skin and holds a superior amount of liquid, so nothing can stop you during that time of the month.
Available at Watsons, Mercury Drug Stores, and other leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide, Jeunesse Anion also offers ultra day non-wing, ultra day pad, ultra night pad, all-night pad, and panty liner to help every woman to go through their period with ease and comfort.

Unfortunately for me, I become too lazy as I grow older. I don't drink milk nor take vitamins.
The last time I had an "accidental" bone scan, it was on the moderate line. Meaning, I have a chance to have Osteoporosis in the later years.
Scary, yes. But it become a reminder for me to start taking care of my body.
It was said that the bone density of the older generation is thicker unlike the newer generation as we all had good exposure to sunlight and ate healthy food.
Since there are no symptoms for this disease, one should really be extra careful especially fracturing ones self. This "silent disease" can take away your life in a snap.

Happy New Year, dearies!
Since things have been a little busy in the Yu-Bs' world lately, I really got no time to blog or even socialize. Of the last 2 weeks of the holiday months, about one of them have been spent packing and boxing our stuff, trying to settle in to our new house quickly before the new year. Now that I'm halfway through my unpacking and arranging, I can finally sit in front of my laptop to finish some of my writing jobs.
Saying bye bye temporarily to no-school days and freedom not to look at your emails can be stressful. You may feel an extreme post-holiday blues, wishing you could go back to the exciting holiday months. But it doesn't have to be all gloomy and cloudy as the month of January bares an enjoyable array of movie genres to suite your taste.
This month sees a mix of movies from horror to romance to action and I really can't wait to see all of them! OMG! I've been waiting for the the Maze Runner, The greatest Showman, Jumanji, and Pitch Perfect! Aca-awesome!
Enjoy!
