Bea Alonzo as the newest ambassador of Birch Tree Adult Boost.

Multi-awarded actress Bea Alonzo proudly shares how she keeps her tip-top health and shape in her strongest years with Birch Tree Adult Boost, the flagship milk brand of Century Pacific Food Inc., and the trusted adult milk brand in the Philippines. With a busy and active lifestyle that includes indulging in sports and frequent travels, Bea recognizes the importance of having nutritional support to keep up with everything she enjoys.

“Staying strong and healthy isn’t just a goal; it is a way of life. Drinking the right milk gives me the nutrients that I need to stay strong, healthy, and at my best every day. Gladly, there is Birch Tree Adult Boost milk that can give me the right nutrition,” said Bea Alonzo.

Milk plays an important role at every stage of life as the body evolves over time. Children need it for growth and development, teens rely on it for bone health and cognition, while adults need it for bone strength and immunity. Adults, specifically, require extra vitamins and nutrients for sustenance, which is why Birch Tree Adult Boost is specially formulated to provide that support.

Birch Tree Adult Boost has the Active Tri-Boost formula that supports overall wellness in adults by providing support nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, B-vitamins, Iron, and Zinc. These nutrients help to strengthen immunity, sustain energy, and heighten brain function. Perfect for adults who want to remain healthy and energetic just like Bea. 

Bea Alonzo enjoyed a skiing adventure in her Andorra trip, showcasing her passion for active living.

“As I turn 38 this October, I become even more mindful of my health and my body, and I like challenging myself with different ways to maintain good health,” Bea shared. “I like doing workouts like push-ups, squats, planks, and other sporty activities, then I balance it with proper nutrition. Birch Tree Adult Boost gives me that extra support so I can keep up with my busy lifestyle,” she added.

As an award-winning actress and entrepreneur, Bea has built a strong reputation both in entertainment and in business. With her passion for travel and discovering new experiences, she proves that life gets better as we reach our peak years. “We wanted to highlight how milk isn’t just for kids, it’s just as important for adults who want to stay strong, energized, and overall healthy. That’s why we partnered with Bea Alonzo for Birch Tree Adult Boost. She embodies the idea that age is not a limit, you can be at your best at every stage of your life,” shared Greg Banzon, Executive Vice President & Chief Operations Officer of Century Pacific Food, Inc.

Milk plays a crucial role in our children's well-being. We, moms, are very careful in choosing the best milk for them, as we want nothing but the finest. With numerous milk options in the market, it's essential to pick the right one that provides optimal nutrition for our kids. 

Last week. I attended a meet and greet session with the people behind DG Goat Milk. During the event they thoroughly explained the benefits of goat milk for children. According to Dr. Karen Lim, goat milk closely resembles breast milk due to the "Apocrine" secretion process, which is similar to human milk secretion. Hmm... that's probably why kids would definitely enjoy DG Goat Milk and to know that these milk was sourced from specially bred goats in New Zealand.

DG Goat Milk is packed with vital vitamins, minerals, and bio-active components that support optimal growth and development of children. I was able to asked a question about its side effects if switching from cow's milk to goat's milk. Dr. Lim assured me that there are no side effects and that it is suitable for those with lactose intolerance also.

As Mr. Jong Abad shared "You get what you pay for". The price is worth it considering the nutrients you can get from the milk. Dr. Lim also mentioned that the price is comparable to premium milk brands in the Philippines.

My kids, ages 12 and 16, love drinking milk, usually fresh milk. I also have a 3-year-old niece and will let her try DG Goat Milk when she visits Manila for vacation next month.

Mommies, since doctors have attest to it, it wouldn't hurt to try goat milk for our kids, as long as there are no side effects. As a mom, I'm willing to let them try it.

Thank you, DG Goat Milk Team, for enlightening us about the benefits of goat milk.

 

 

 

It’s understood that seniors—elderly people ages 60 and up—have a higher risk of infection and hospitalization. But apart from the usual health problems they get due to their weakened immune system, seniors are also prone to other physical issues such as muscle loss and malnutrition. The elderly are prone to sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. On top of that, seniors are also likely to experience an imbalance or deficiency in nutrients. This is due to the body’s impaired utilization of nutrients it receives. The result of this is not just a slow but steady decrease in the body’s mental and physical capacities to protect itself from illnesses and infection. It also makes seniors more prone to fall risks due to lesser muscle mass and weaker bones and joints.

Proper diet can prevent muscle loss and malnutrition, as the right food and supplement intake can help the body develop age-appropriate immunity boost and muscle mass. But statistics show it can be a challenge. A 2020 study published in the US says one out of two older adults are at risk of being malnourished. And malnutrition-related hospital stays, the study adds, are more common in seniors than in young adults. It is also three times more likely to result in death for seniors. This is a pressing health concern as, according to the World Health Organization, one out of six people in the world will be 60 years old or older by 2030.

But a senior body is not helpless against the problems and issues of aging. Besides the usual check-ups with doctors and constant monitoring of important vitals, it’s best to minimize illness and physical risks by maintaining good health and muscle mass. Muscle mass can be maintained by good nutrition and exercise—both of which can also boost immunity. A diet with the appropriate vitamins and minerals can improve immunity and prevent muscle loss. Vitamin D is known to help improve muscle function, while calcium can help reduce bone loss. Vitamin A and C are essential to eye health, which can prevent vision impairment, disorientation, and poor balance. Vitamin B12 can help with mobility.

Birch Tree Advance is an affordable adult nutritional supplement drink that has these necessary nutrients. With the supervision of a doctor and a dietitian, Birch Tree Advance can serve as a meal replacement with protein that helps build muscle mass and 28 vitamins and minerals—such as Iron, Zinc, Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, and D, Calcium, Magnesium, and Omega 3 & 6—that help boost immunity. “Seniors need specialized nutrition because they are going through unique challenges in their advanced age. Physically, it means losing strength and stamina they once had that lead older adults to a more sedentary lifestyle, reduced appetite and a cycle that goes back to a further decrease in muscle mass. A lot of seniors can end up with an overall poorer quality of life, a higher risk of injuries and also higher rates of disease, disability, and hospitalization if not given proper nutrition,” said Cheryl Singson, Nutritionist Dietitian of Century Pacific Food Inc.

With proper nutrition, seniors can be healthier, more active, and more mobile. Birch Tree Advance can help provide seniors with nutrition that will lead them to live a full and active life. Birch Tree Advance is available at these following stores: https://bit.ly/3Y8tn53.

They may not say it, but moms want their kids to develop and grow up to be able to achieve their dreams and aspirations in life. Most mothers would do everything they can, so their children do not fall behind and ensure their kids’ developmental superiority.

For moms of kids aged 3 years and older who feel that their overall development is lacking or “kulang”, there is now a holistic approach they can try. If before, child development was a piecemeal or “paisa-isa” process, the Upgraded All-Around Development of children can now be achieved by giving them the right stimulation, the proper nutrition, and the improved Vitaminized Lactum 3+.

Vitaminized Lactum 3+ has upgraded benefits that support the #UpgradedAllAroundDevelopment of kids:


With proper stimulation, correct nutrition, and regular consumption of the improved Vitaminized Lactum 3+, a child’s development can quickly go from “Kulang” to “Lamang”.

So Filipino moms- put your minds at ease and ensure that your kids are #LakingLamang! Make the switch to Upgraded All Around Development with Vitaminized Lactum 3+ with proper nutrition and stimulation.

When was the last time you told your Mom you love her? That you appreciate her for all the times she stayed up late when you were sick or when you had to review for all your tests? How she covered your notebooks, neatly labeling your name or how she simply combed your hair? This Mother’s Day, Lactum asks each of us to tell our mom how much she means to us;  how we appreciate all the sacrifices she tries to hide from us; and, how seeing her happy is what also makes us happy.

This is the essence of Lactum’s Mother’s Day video #KungAlamMoLangMa. While moms love and care for their children completely and unconditionally, many still feel that they are missing out because they don’t spend as much time as they want with their kids. More than that, many moms feel that the struggles they go through each day just to make sure the kids are fed well, have clean clothes to wear or do their homework are hardly noticed. But as #KungAlamMoLangMa would show and prove: their children actually are aware of their mom’s feelings and are thankful for the sacrifices she makes.

Moms do what they do because of love. When children grow up happy and healthy and do well at home and in school, mothers feel fulfilled and validated that she has done right. A perfect example for this is when  moms ensure that their kids grow up with all-around development by providing positive stimulation and proper nutrition that includes Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which has 5x more DHA and 50% Less Sucrose (Sugar) versus its previous formulation. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid which supports brain development during early childhood. Vitaminized Lactum 3+ also has nutrients that help promote bone growth and help strengthen the body’s immune system.

By providing their child with the proper nutrition for optimum all-around development plus important nutrients contained in every glass of Lactum, moms express the love they have for their kids.

But while a mother’s love is instinctive and unwavering, no other person can feel unappreciated more than a mother. While many children say “I love you” to their moms, these  simple words are uttered less and less as they grow up.

This Mother’s Day,  Lactum encourages all sons and daughters to express their thoughts and feelings to their moms and draw inspiration from their heart-warming video #KungAlamMoLangMa.  The video seeks to counter any doubts that moms may have about themselves or the things they do. It honors moms by telling them the truth: that their children know and understand that mothers only want what’s best for them. More than that, it also shows moms that to see them smile and happy is just as important to their kids.

Lactum invites everyone to watch the #KungAlamMoLangMa video via this link https://youtu.be/9Ro2dG_jfWA. Also check out how Lactum mom Camille Prats showed appreciation for her mom in her post here: https://www.facebook.com/IAmCamillePrats/posts/524158459077826 and tell her how you feel. Lactum believes it is time to show moms that they are loved and appreciated not just on Mother’s Day but every day because nobody deserves a child’s love and appreciation more than a mom.

 

Moms like us always find what's best for our little ones, from our sons up to the pamangkins, for those who have close family ties. From the food they eat and from the milk they drink we are always on the watch. And since these kids are now in their developing stage their body needs to absorb the right amount of nutrients. 

So it means nutrients are a must for us, just like the saying goes "mother knows best." Indeed, we know what's best for them and what is good for them. We wanted the right food for them so that they will grow strong and healthy.

Now, Bonakid Pre-school 3+ is the highlight of Shopee today. This means more opportunities to have more discounts. This is the sulit deals not just for Moms like us but also for the Titas who love to take care of their nephews or niece.

Until very recently, many children have not been able to go to school, go outdoors or socialize with other kids. Staying confined for almost two years was challenging for the children- and for the moms who needed to find ways to ensure that kids are given adequate support and stimulus for their All-Around Development (with proper nutrition and stimulation).

Social Media Influencer and soon-to-be mom of 6, Pehpot Pineda, more known as Mommy Pehpot, admits going through this: “It was really challenging for me to take care of the kids during the lockdown. I felt like they have needs that I cannot provide especially because I am with them 24/7 inside the house. We struggled to adjust to the new normal especially with schoolwork since most of my kids work better in a normal school environment. Although we had some struggles, we had more wins as a family. We became closer since and bonded more as we did more family-centered activities. Since we could not go on vacation, we made it a point to 'bring the vacation here at home' through swimming parties, BBQ afternoons, and fancy dinners. But the most important win we had during the pandemic is realizing the value of being healthy”.

In making sure her kids stay healthy and strong, Mommy Pehpot thought of ways to make sure her kids’ health are in tip top shape. Here, she shares her five (5) Laking Lamang nutrition hacks or habits to ensure her children’s all-around development – particularly in brains, bones and immunity.

LAKING LAMANG SA BRAIN

1.Get them into activities that stimulate the mind. “Inside the house, usually during 'quiet time', I usually get Marius to do artwork like paint or color. Sometimes, I just give him sheets of paper where he can scribble or draw. It’s an activity that he enjoys- together with his “Ate” and “Kuyas”

LAKING LAMANG SA IMMUNITY

2.Sleep at least 8 hours a day. “When my kids don’t get enough sleep, they wake up moody, tired, or cranky. Sleep is important for both the brain and the body. Aside from that, sleep is needed to strengthen their immunity and ensure they keep growing”.

LAKING LAMANG SA BONES

3.Wake up early and sunbathe for at least 10 minutes. “We make sure to hang out in the breakfast nook to get some sun. We use that area to have our breakfast together. It’s our morning motivation while we do some sunbathing. It’s like hitting two birds in one stone. We had the much-needed Vitamin D at the same time, bonding with the family”.

4.Exercise or any physical activity is a must. “During the pandemic we formed a hobby of playing outside our garden. We have a small tree that the kids love climbing. We also played some Pinoy games like patintero and pinoy football.”

LAKING LAMANG SA ALL AROUND DEVELOPMENT

5.Provide kids with healthy nutrition. "It's hard to make kids eat healthy. I'm sure everyone has experienced the struggle of making kids eat their fish, vegetables, etc. But I just don't give up. Good thing I found a milk that helps me provide them with the necessary nutrients they can get from foods that they don’t usually consume on a daily basis. Lactum 3+ was recently reformulated with 5X Higher DHA (vs. previous formulation) --- nutrients they could get from eating healthy food like deep sea fish like salmon. The higher DHA helps support brain development. It also now has 50% less sucrose (sugar) (vs. previous formulation) which helps lower the risk of unhealthy weight gain. It also helps decrease the possibility of contracting non-communicable diseases. I learned that Lactum 3+ is also packed with nutrients for immunity and bone health. So, I'm super glad to give them a glass of milk and know that it helps support their All-Around Development (with proper stimulation and nutrition). Sometimes instead of drinking it, we try making milk popsicles by adding interesting ingredients like cookies for flavor. We also explored mixing it with fruits which my kids enjoyed as well. Serving it chilled is another option too, since I noticed that my kids like it cold.

Because milk is an essential part of her kids’ everyday nutrition hacks, Mommy Pehpot says choosing the right brand was very important. And after much thought and research, she chose Lactum 3+. “It was actually my first child who started drinking Lactum 3+ and if I were to count the years since he started, that would be 15 years! Marius, who is our youngest drinker now, only started drinking a year ago. I noticed that with Lactum 3+, Marius' weight improved. I also noticed that he is more active and really looks forward to our afternoon habit of playing outside with his siblings”.

To help moms achieve all-around development with proper nutrition and stimulation for children above 3 years old, Lactum 3+ has now been improved into the new Vitaminized Lactum 3+ with 5x more DHA and 50% less sucrose versus its previous formulation. The higher DHA aims to help provide kids with the best nutrition that support early childhood brain development, help promote bone growth, and help strengthen the body’s immune system. Vitaminized Lactum 3+ also has 50% less sucrose (sugar) (vs. previous formulation) which helps diminish the risk of unhealthy weight gain; helps decrease the possibility of contracting non-communicable disease.

Mommy Pehpot admits that helping her kids shift to a new taste due to the new formulation of Vitaminized Lactum 3+ was a challenge in the beginning. She recounts: “At first, the taste may not be compatible to their liking but eventually, if we help them transition to this new formulation, then it would benefit them in the long term. And I think this is very fulfilling. “Para kang nanalo ng best mom award!”

Moms everywhere should take Mommy Pehpot ‘s hacks to heart especially when it comes to choosing Vitaminized Lactum 3+ for their kids’ all around development with proper nutrition and stimulation. Because at this time when everyone is making health a top priority, everyone must agree: “Laking Lamang ang Batang All Around”.

When one speaks of “intelligence”, it’s easy to focus on a narrow fragment that counts for cognitive learning. To many people, excellence in math, science, and reading is an evident indication of a child’s abilities. But while those areas of discipline are essential, well-rounded learning makes room for more than just static knowledge in words and numbers. The complexities of a child’s development also cater to their need to grow on their own, blossom in their relationships, and enrich their overall well-being.

As a parents’ partner in raising a generation of healthy, smart kids with a heart, Enfagrow A+ Four provides initiatives that help support the stimulation of young minds and bodies. By sharing a few tips, the brand is one with parents in fulfilling the Missing Half — to help give kids both the emotional and cognitive intelligence they need to excel and shape a better world.

Validate your child’s feelings

It’s easy to brush off a child’s sentiments especially when they seem menial. But a small thing to an adult can be a big thing to a child — and it is through slight moments like this that children develop a deep sense of trust with their parents. When parents establish a home that makes children feel heard, they set the groundwork for kids to grow with confidence in their adolescent years and beyond.

Be the one who listens

Studies say that physical aggression in children — which includes hitting, biting, and crying incessantly — is more dominant between the ages of two and five. This is because they don’t have the right amount of words to express how they feel properly.

For parents, no one jumps for joy when their kid is having a meltdown. But when the intensity of their emotions arises, it is an opportunity to connect with them and put things into perspective. Labeling feelings such as “happy”, “afraid”, or “sad”, or “calm”, is a good way to foster emotional literacy.

Get creative

Beyond the school’s normal curriculum, kids can learn empathy through play, storytelling, and read-aloud sessions. Through images and sounds, they will be able to put into context the world around them based on their perception.

Fulfill the Missing Half

Nothing beats having a supportive parent that has their child's best interests at heart. That is why, parents empower their kids’ IQ and EQ by nurturing them with proper care and nutrition.

Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro is a new and improved milk formula that features a powerful brain-boosting combination. It is the only milk that has MFGM Pro and superior-level DHA which help improve behavioral regulation and help power up a child’s IQ and EQ. It also has HMO 2’-FL prebiotics to support their immune system.

With proper stimulation coupled with the nurturing care of parents, and proper nutrition which includes Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro, kids can keep their bodies healthy as they have the best start in life.

Bring out the greatness and the goodness in every child. The all-new and improved Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro is available in all leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide.

For parents, it’s easy to pinpoint their child’s basic needs: a comfortable shelter, healthful food, and warm clothing. But to give them a holistic development that also enriches their emotional health, parents need to take on a more active role in supporting their kids in leading a positive quality of life. This can be achieved through proper guidance and support, alongside good nutrition.

Enfagrow is together with parents in raising the next generation of healthy smart kids with a heart. Bringing this dream to life, the brand recently introduced its newest product — the Enfagrow AII Nurapro Four — which helps boost a child’s emotional and cognitive intelligence, along with better digestive health.

The new Enfagrow AII Nurapro Four is the first and only staged milk in the Philippines that uses the easy-to-digest A2 milk proteins. It is a type of milk protein sourced from rare, grass-fed A2 cows from Europe and New Zealand, known to be easy on children’s stomachs compared to other types of milk with combined milk proteins in the market.

It also includes brain-building nutrients, MFGM Pro and superior DHA levels to support a child’s educational and emotional development. This means that apart from developing their IQ, children can also understand and regulate their emotions better — helping them establish good relationships with people they interact with.

The Enfagrow AII Nurapro Four is likewise fused with FOS, a type of prebiotic that promote the growth of good bacteria in children. These vitamins back up their digestive regularity to give them wholesome gut health and strengthen their immunity for their overall well-being.

With all these ingredients working together, parents can lay a solid ground for their kids’ learning and emotional health. Along with the unconditional love they give, and the opportunities they provide, they can shape a future led by healthy smart kids with a heart.

Juggling motherhood and working at home during a pandemic can be challenging. For Camille Prats-Yambao, she has to be her own cameraman, lights person, and hair and makeup artist when remotely hosting Mars Pa More on weekdays. After that, she has to tend to her three children.

“There were a lot of adjustments we had to make, pero wala naman tayong magagawa (there’s nothing we could do about it). We just have to go with the flow and adapt to the change,” Camille said.

Despite her busy schedule, Camille, with the help of her husband VJ, is still able to bond with their kids and ensure they get all the care they need. With 3+ year old Nala, it’s especially important for Camille to support her daughter’s all-around development now that she’s at an age that’s filled with curiosity and exploration. “She wants to do everything now. I encourage her to do things by herself and also make sure to be there to catch her when she falls,” she shared.

Camille also shared her five tips on supporting Nala’s all-around development.

Talk to them

“Nala loves to talk—she’s enthusiastic and loves to tell stories. Sometimes nagugulat na lang ako sa words na alam ni Nala (I get surprised with the words that Nala knows),” Camille said. For her, engaging her daughter in conversations is the best opportunity to teach her new words and educate her on things she doesn’t understand yet.

It’s also important for Camille that Nala gets to practice being sociable by playing with her and letting her spend time with her grandparents and cousins when they get to see them. However, Camille admitted that it’s been a struggle these days because of the lockdown. “These are things that have to take a backseat for now because, of course, safety is still our priority.”

Camille Prats-Yambao shows support for Nala by equipping her with proper nutrition,

complemented by nurturing love.

Play time

Being stuck at home can be frustrating for kids, which is why Camille and VJ encourage their kids to play and be active to support their bone development. “We bought a playset so [Nala and Nolan] can climb it and slide on it. It’s very important for us to give them something to exert their energy on,” she said.

 

 Raising a physically strong kid is important for celebrity mom Camille Prats-Yambao.

Let them try new hobbies

At 3+ year old, Nala’s hobbies are to sing, dance, and paint. Just like with physical activity, hobbies are important outlets for kids to express and entertain themselves. “We ensure to set time for her to do these creative activities to help with her brain development.”

Give them a balanced diet

“During mealtimes, we encourage our kids to eat veggies. Especially now that we’re in a pandemic, Nala has to have strong immunity. We give Nala a lot of healthy food and make sure she has a balanced diet,” Camille said. To help support her daughter’s All-Around Development, she also gives her Vitaminized Lactum 3+ with proper nurition and stimulation. Vitaminized Lactum 3+ is enriched with key vitamins and nutrients like Vitamin C plus Prebiotin Inulin, Vitamin A, E, Zinc, and Selenium to help support immunity; DHA and Iron for brain development; and Calcium and Vitamin D to help make her bones stronger.

Don’t stop them from exploring

If there’s one thing that Camille learned from raising her first child Nathan, it’s that she shouldn’t stop her kids from exploring and doing what makes them happy. “I had Nathan when I was 22 and I would assist him in everything back then. Now, with Nala and Nolan, I learned to not baby them and let them explore and play safely as much as they want,” she said.

With the added support of Vitaminized Lactum 3+ plus proper nutrition and stimulation, kids like Nala will get the nutrients they need to help them grow up strong, smart, and active. With 30 years of being in the Philippines as moms’ partner in raising kids, it’s no surprise that Camille trusts Lactum 3+ in providing the nutrition her daughter needs for her All-Around Development in Immunity, Brain and Bones.

“3+ years is the age when they are very active and exploratory. If we give them all-around nutrition, they’ll be able to do more to learn and discover new things,” Camille advised.

The journey of being a parent isn't easy at the best of times, but is now even more challenging amid today’s uncertainties. As schooling remains confined within virtual platforms, children are unable to meet their friends, play with them outside, and do the activities and interactions that young ones usually enjoy.

This limits the opportunities of little ones to socialize, a crucial part of growing up. Meeting and interacting with other people enable children to learn about empathy, compassion, and kindness, which are qualities that people learn over time and by practice. But with the lack of social interaction among children, how can parents foster a well-rounded development for their kids?

Here are three ways shared by Enfagrow A+ Four.

Receive to give kindness During the pandemic, children might feel waves of confusion and sadness brought about by the sudden change in their routines. They wonder why they are not physically going to school anymore, and why they are not able to play with other kids like they normally do. This might make them crave social interaction and mourn the lack of it, and cause them to act out and throw tantrums.

To help children ease their worries, parents can showcase kindness by acknowledging their kid's feelings and making them understand that all these will come to pass. They can also remind them of fond memories they share with their relatives and friends to make them feel that they are a part of a bigger community which they can draw strength from during periods of uncertainty.

Recognize your child's own acts of kindness It is natural for parents to celebrate their kids’ academic success. However, an overemphasis on intellect and talent may leave an impression on children that these are the qualities they should strive the hardest for.

By giving them compliments when they offer help to a household member, or when they take the initiative to fix their toys right after playing, it gives them a sense of realization that, beyond commendable school performance, treating people with kindness and respect matters greatly.

Equip them with the proper nutrition Nutrition can also greatly impact a child’s learning ability. This is why, from the very start, parents constantly look for ways to support their IQ (Intelligence Quotient), as well as their EQ (Emotional Quotient).

By feeding their brains and bodies with proper nutrition, parents do not only increase a child’s learning abilities.
