Good eating habits will help you keep up with all of the summer activities

 

Summer in the Philippines is often the highest temperature of the year. And with this weather, it's the ideal time to travel across the country and enjoy some sunny adventures with family and friends. The heat, on the other hand, can have an effect on our overall health—we're more prone to dehydration and intestinal difficulties, which can ruin the fun.

Make the most of these relaxing months by remaining healthy and fueling your body with nutritious foods. Dr. Eca Lorenzo, internal medicine specialist and functional medicine practitioner, and Filipino plant-based company Sekaya recommend changes to our regular eating habits that will keep us energized throughout the summer.

Take advantage of fresh produce

 

Make the most of seasonal crops. April and May are prime months for fresh vegetables, with farmers harvesting crops and our own backyards brimming with goodies. "At this point, you observe that local in-season fruits such as mango, guyabano, coconut, rambutan, santol, pomelo, and pineapple are now more easily accessible at your local grocery store or market. Dr. Lorenzo says, "This can assist give more color and variety to your plates, helping you to obtain as many nutrients as possible." "It's also important to stay hydrated by eating more vegetables with high water content, such as lettuce, tomato, and broccoli, and add spinach and eggplant to your diet."

Teaching Kids about Financial Literacy

 

According to research, many financial habits are formed by the age of seven. If good habits are not introduced to them or established early, it will be more challenging to guide our children in the proper direction. Based on my own experience growing up, it was difficult for me to adjust to 'adulting,' simply because I had poor money management back then. I used to see myself shopping online too often and would use such kind of life because I used to reason that it was a form of stress therapy. It took a while for me to set the records straight and learn how to save for the 'rainy days.' 

But as parents, we need to start educating our children about money matters in order for them to avoid the same mistakes we've had. I don't want my nephew and nieces to find themselves one-day missing rent payments or running up too much credit card debt because they were too careless. So, here I've made some tips to help guide the kids about financial literacy the fun and easy way:

Make them work for their money.

Children will learn to utilize money more responsibly if they have to work for it. Many parents give their kids an allowance each week to pay for chores. Giving a child an allowance can also aid with budgeting lessons. 

Allow part-time gigs

I allow my nephew Kyle to attend his band's gigs. He is currently the lead guitarist for the upcoming artist, Mizael. Provided that he will not neglect his studies. His studies should always be a priority. No ifs and buts about it. Aside from that being his passion, sometimes he would get singing gigs and he'd be paid for it. So it could be as simple as mowing the lawn of a neighbor or walking someone's dogs to the park--as long as they'd be able to earn money out of their own hard work, it's a good start.

Contribute to Purchases

If my nephew Kyle wanted to get something, I always see that he pays a portion of it. Every parent has probably experienced the pressure of constantly fielding requests for different video games or gadgets. Particularly younger children need to understand that you can only spend a certain amount on discretionary items purchased each month. Children will gain a better understanding of what goods cost if they are encouraged to pay half the price for a brand-new Lego set or a Barbie Doll accessory.

Encourage them to play online games that teach them the value of money

There are lots of free online money games for children that somehow give them at least a gist or understanding of how to be responsible with money. One website I've tried with Kyle is called mortgagecalculator.org/money-games. The site itself has a plethora of game choices and for sure, there'll be something you'd be interested in or at least catch your fancy. From simulation games to role-playing, adventure games among many others. Each game has its own characteristics or underlying objectives. And with different game categories and genres, they can also be classified according to the players' age.

Do you like to solve puzzles or micro-manage resources? Real-time strategy or role-playing games might be better suited for you. But no matter what your interest is, there is definitely a game genre that will appeal to your taste from the said website.
