GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH THIS SEASON WITH BEWELL-C

In our haste to come up with the best Christmas gift this season, we tend to forget that every person’s

well-being will always be on top of the list, thus, a gift of wellness is something that will be well-

received.

Around the globe, holidays means parties everywhere which also equates to frequent sleep deprivation

not to mention increased alcohol intake for some and the bad effects of second hand smoke for others.

All these factors contribute to lower immune system and this might not be a good match for the

holidays.

Bewell-C has got your back covered as it contains all the vitamin C your body needs minus the acidity.

Bewell-C is a non-acidic vitamin C supplement that boosts the immune system to fight against various

health conditions.

Great for kids

Bewell-C is made of encapsulated powder which can be extracted and mixed with juices. Most parents

nowadays do this, especially in the event that their kids are suffering from weak immune system.

Sodium ascorbate is effective in alleviating coughs and colds in children and can be given 3x a day as

opposed to the acidity of a regular vitamin C.

Excellent for adults

Sodium Ascorbate promotes healthy cell development which helps active individuals in terms of sports

related injuries as it plays a major role in collagen synthesis and help form bonds between strands of

collagen fibers. It is also helpful for those recovering from surgery.

For those who follow a beauty regimen, Sodium Ascorbate helps firm the skin tissues and works well in

enhancing the efficiency of anti-aging supplements.

Sodium Ascorbate helps fight cancer as it produces a cytotoxic effect in malignant cell lines including

melanoma cells, hence its anti-cancer property. Vitamin C in Sodium Ascorbate also help in lowering the

risk of heart diseases and early death.

For those who requires a low-sodium diet, Bewell-C Plus Calcium is recommended.

Bewell-C and Bewell-C Plus Calcium is available in all leading drugstores nationwide. For more updates,

NOVUHAIR’S INFORMATIVE TRUTH ON HAIR CHEMICALS

We may not be aware that we are unknowingly putting harmful chemicals on our hair thus resulting to general conditions such as migraine, nausea and skin rashes. The symptoms may be quickly attributed to stress but if you look closer to that hair product you’re using, you’ll be surprise to find the culprit.

Popularity does not equate to safety, some popular brands sold in the market are loaded with mildly toxic chemicals that may be harmful in prolonged use.

Novuhair, Nature’s answer to hair loss, gives you the lowdown on these chemicals to help you with your choices.

Myth: Shampoo must produce lots of lather in order to properly clean your hair.

Truth: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a compound that helps shampoo and other cleaning product in producing foam and bubbles. Though it may effectively remove hair build-up, it can also strip off essential oils that is needed to keep your hair healthy.

Myth: Parabens has an anti-bacterial compound benefits that outweighs the harm.

Truth: Parabens are basically used to prolong the shelf life of hair and cosmetic products mostly for its antibacterial purpose. Symptoms that are related to over exposure to parabens are Atopic Dermatitis and Rosacea. Further studies also show that use of products with parabens accelerate skin damage and aging related to sun exposure.

Myth: My hair smells terrific! I love the perfume scent on my hair product.

Truth: A nice whiff of perfume might not be harmful but the fragrance that is mixed in your hair product might have come from harmful substances from highly toxic ingredients which can lead to Allergic reactions and mood swings. That perfume is better off somewhere else.

Myth: Hair products that promise straightening and smoothening effect use non-toxic Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate as a natural preservative.

Truth: Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate is a substance used in making your hair soft and bouncy, although it is considered natural preservative, also releases formaldehyde which can lead to skin and eye irritations. Prolonged use may also affect your immune system.

Use of some of these chemicals combined may also result to hair loss and other hair problems, thus, it is important to be an informed consumer. A lot of new products have saturated the market hence, read the labels for fine prints before buying.

HIV Positive Poster Tour de PIlipinas

A drop of HIV-positive blood.

Would you step back and move away from it?

The HIV epidemic in the Philippines has been described as “explosive,” with the fastest rate of increase in new HIV cases globally. While other countries have managed their HIV epidemics and are now witnessing a significant decline in the number of new cases, the Philippines has recorded sharply increasing rates of new infections.

An HIV awareness campaign that aims to reduce the stigma associated with HIV through the innovative HIV-Positive Poster will be holding its Tour de Pilipinas, visiting key sites in the country starting this February. The HIV-Positive Poster, which is one of the main features of the awareness campaign, is made with a drop of HIV-positive blood.

The HIV posters were originally developed by Grupo de Incentivo a Vida (GIV), a non-government organization based in Brazil. Made with a drop of blood donated by a person living with HIV (PLHIV), the posters carry messages that explain how HIV is transmitted, and underscore that people can NOT get HIV from the poster, or from casual contact with a PLHIV. The HIV-Positive Poster campaign has won international awards such as the Bronze Lion at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival – Press Category.  The poster was first released in Asia (in the Philippines) by Pedal for HIV, in partnership with GIV – Life Support Group.

• Tour de Pilipinas, organized by Pedal for HIV and GIV, aims to:
•  Increase visibility of the HIV Positive Poster
• Provide information on HIV
• Empower the youth to became advocates
• Reduce HIV stigma & discrimination

Faustine Luell T. Angeles Jr., founder of Pedal for HIV, will be travelling to key sites together with two representatives from the Brazil-based GIV – Life Support Group. Tour de Pilipinas will have the following schedule:

Banaue – 16 February

Palawan –23 February

Cebu – 1 March

Boracay – 6 March

Iloilo – 10 March

The specific venues in these locations will be announced later.

Tour de Pilipinas is organized in partnership with The Red Whistle, an HIV awareness campaign that uses the arts and social media in its advocacy to normalize HIV and AIDS. Sponsored by Premiere Condoms, Spyder Philippines, Catch Restaurant, Hooch Bar, 2GO Travel, HOWWWL Digital, Hotel Centro, WhenInManila.com & GoPro.
