Prevent Sickness with Unilab's United Home Products

I don’t know if it’s just because of my age, but I’ve noticed these days that my daily tasks really make me exhausted. We don’t have any house help at home so I had to do all the laundry, prepare and cook our food, do all the household chores, run a few errands for my Mom—all of these, on top of having to write articles and do my job as an online freelance content writer. 

Nowadays, it’s too expensive to get sick. That’s why cliché as it may sound but prevention is still better than cure. So apart from making sure I prepare nutritious ad balanced meal for my family, I also discovered the wonders of food supplements. I believe food supplements could help prevent sickness. And when it comes to medicines and food supplements, there’s only one brand that I trust, Unilab’s brand, United Home. 

Here are some of the United Home food supplements that me and my family have been taking:

United Home Ferrous Sulfate Plus

 Formulation: Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate 300mg (equivalent to 60mg elemental iron) Folic Acid 250mcg Format: Tablet Configuration: 10 Blister

Packs x 10 capsules 

Prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia: prenatal hematinic 

SRP: Php3.50/PC 

There are times when my body wants to rest and sleep while my brain becomes too eager to write and my creative juices keeps on flowing. It is at these times that my mind usually wins, thus, I would end up working which results to my lack of sleep. Recently, I have even experienced eye twitching due to eye strain and that’s it, lack of sleep.

My physician says I should start taking care of my body since I’m not getting younger. I could have Iron Deficiency Anemia and it won’t do me any good.My doctor recently added Ferrous Sulfate to the many food supplements I’ve been taking. Ferrous Sulfate provides the iron needed by the body to produce red blood cells. 

SM Home presents The Essentials of Condo Living

Living in a small space is tough, especially when your decorating options are limited by rental rules and landlord laws. With the rise of more condominiums in the metro, most of us have totally embraced condo-living to the fullest. There’s nothing like living next to the CBD or right next to the shopping malls. It saves you from the hellish Metro Manila traffic and gives you not just utmost convenience but some peace of mind. Undeniably, condo living also has its pros and cons. For one, it has a very limited space, some to the point of having that vibe of living in a shoe box. Of course, you’d still want to call it a home. Designing can be a bit daunting, but fret not. SM Home acknowledges this dilemma. And they are holding the first edition of SM Home’s latest design series, “Essentials of Condo Living” which features how to design your unit’s small spaces. Let these ideas inspire you to make the home (and space) you want.

The brainchild of SM Home assistant Vice President for Marketing, Tom Castaneda, the design series aims to help condo-dwellers to properly maximize their space, in the process making their units more lively. “Since small condo demands creativity when it comes to optimizing their space, SM Home has turned to design experts for help to highlight ways on what our clients should do for condo set-ups from the experts themselves,” Castaneda said during the media presentation held at the concourse of SM Makati.

In line with this, there will be a series of talks which will be happening from September 16 and 17, 2017 at the SM Home in SM Makati. For the Essentials of Condo Living setups, SM Home partnered with four talented architects and designers Maya Franco, Erika Uichanco, Ivy Crisostomo and James Razo. They were divided into two teams to create individual living spaces. Each pair was tasked to work together and combine their assigned areas within the confines of a limited space. Maya Franco and Erika Uichanco were assigned the kitchen and dining room areas, while Ivy Crisostomo and James Razo were given the living room and bedroom spaces to design and style.  Both teams were given free rein to select from SM Home’s full range of condo perfect items from shelves, beds, dividers, tables, and even appliances, storage bins and décor.

Chloe the Cauliflower

Chloe the Cauliflower

I recently received Chloe the Cauliflower from the bloggermail and it was really cute. It did looked like a real cauliflower, with all its color and texture. Cauliflower is a cousin of the cabbage (brassica) and broccoli family. We love eating them with cheesy cream sauce and parmesan. Cauliflowers have roundish heads (about 20cm wide), which are creamy-white to pale cream in colour and look like a fluffy white cloud. When cut in half we look like a dense rounded tree with the main white branch dividing into many small branches which end in a mass of white to creamy-white flower buds or ‘curds’. Cauliflower helps improve our brain health.

Babettes gæstebud (Babette’s Feast) Denmark

It follows the story of Babette, a Parisian fugitive following the 1871 Commune of Paris uprising as she changes the lives of the villagers who take her in. Based on the tale by Isak Dinesen, this Danish film is one that cinephiles shouldn’t miss.

El ángel exterminador (The Exterminating Angel) Spain

Cited as one of the best 1,000 films by The New York Times, Spanish film El ángel exterminador (The Exterminating Angel) is a work of satire, where guests at a dinner party discover they’re unable to leave the room. Over the days that follow, they each slowly shed their perfect façades and pretenses of power to reveal the uglier side of human nature. Sharp and surreal, this is a film sure to leave a lasting impression on viewers.

Sult (Hunger) Denmark

Sult (Hunger), the second Danish film, features a young, penniless poet as he scrambles to survive in Oslo in 1890. Based on the novel by Knut Hamsun, the story follows Pontus as his hunger takes over and the line between fantasy and reality becomes increasingly blurry.
