This will forever be remembered as the year that changed what we thought was important in our lives. Personally I never thought I’d see the day when we’d all be stuck at home because of a global pandemic. Health and well-being have now become our top priority. As we adapt to the new normal, it’s good to know we can count on Watsons to be there.
Here are some tips from Watsons on what you can do at home to help keep your immunity up and your family healthy:
Be active
Exercising has many known benefits such as helping us get fit, improving our mood and even helping boost the health of our internal organs. But did you know that staying active helps strengthen our immunity system too? Make sure to allot time for exercise even for at least 30 minutes to one hour at least four times a week. Go for exercises you can do with a group so you can do them with the whole family.
Eat right
A good diet is important in helping strengthen your family’s immunity. There are plenty of immunity-boosting foods that you can incorporate easily into your daily recipes, from healthy vegetables such as carrots and broccoli to flavorful aromatics like onions, garlic and ginger. You can also end your meals with a warm cup of comfort courtesy of Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea.
Get sufficient quality sleep
Did you know that getting proper sleep helps increase our body’s defense against sickness? Now that we have more time in our hands, we can sometimes easily sacrifice rest for activities such as binge-watching or staying on up our gadgets until way past midnight. To help avoid this, make sure to set a proper time for sleeping. Manage the household’s schedule and make room for most of your activities in the morning, so the family can sleep soundly come nighttime.
Take vitamins regularly
With our current situation, some natural sources of vitamins may be hard to come by. With trips to the grocery stores becoming more challenging, taking vitamins is a good way to strengthen your family’s immunity. We all know Vitamin C is critical for family members of all ages. Pro tip? Stock up on your supply with Watsons Generics Ascorbic Acid.
But Vitamin C isn’t the only vitamin that can keep you healthy. Conzace Soft Gel—rich in Zinc, Vit. A, C, and E—helps boost immunity and promote healthy hair and skin. Myra E 400IU, on the other hand, is also rich with Vitamin E to help fight cell damage. For the kids, let’s help support their growth not just in height but in strength with Growee Syrup or Cherifer PGM with Zinc capsules.
Top up with supplements
Like vitamins, supplements are a great way to give your health an extra boost. You can easily rely on taking supplements to help provide the nutrients you need on top of maintaining a healthy diet. Given that going back outdoors could mean exposure to environmental factors that may cause damage to our skin and body, make sure you keep that healthy glow from within with supplements like MET Tathione, NU Essence Collagen and Organique Acai Juice. You can also keep your defenses up with supplements that harness the power of natural ingredients such as MX3 capsules and Watsons Generics Malunggay + Mangosteen.
Keep your must-haves on hand
Preparedness is the key to protection, so make sure you have your health essentials to help your home stay ready for anytime sickness may strike. From easy relief in your medicine cabinet, Ascof Forte Syrup and Strepsils, healthy choices in your pantry, Prosource Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, to the items you need to stay clean like Biogenic Ethyl Alcohol, know that you can count on these items being available at Watsons.
