Virtual Talk on Quarantine Fatigue with Thomson Reuters

Quarantine Fatigue has affected us and we need to adapt and learn to ease into the new normal by learning how to recognize this kind of Fatigue and how to deal with it.

First off, Quarantine Fatigue though it may look different from person to person, may be defined as an exhaustion associated with the new restrictive lifestyle brought upon by the pandemic. as Dr. Luana Marques, President of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America has defined it.

Quarantine Fatigue comes from Chronic Stress

We need to know how it has affected us, whether we are aware of it or not, to determine what we can do to prevent it, spot its effect and address them as quickly as possible, in addition to knowing how to handle relationships with the people we are stuck with, as well as people who are close to us but cannot be with.

The Virtual Talk was opened by Ms. Tes Veloso, Senior Director Vendor Strategy & Relationship Management and Site Officer, Thomson Reuters Manila.

Special Guests includes Husband and Wife tandem of Dr. Allan Dionisio and Maribel Dionisio. Dr. Allan is a family medicine practitioner and a clinical toxicologist. He is also the chairman of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the Philippine General Hospital. Ms. Maribel on the other hand, has been a relationship and parenting consultant for over 25 years. For the last 5 years, she was a weekly relationship expert for Radyo Singko 92.3 FM’s Relasyon noontime program and was also a regular parenting expert at ABS-CBN’s Umagang Kay Ganda.

The Love Institute’s vision is to equip every individual with the knowledge and skills they need for their particular relationship stage – Single Life, Engagement, Married Life, Parenting and Family, and Marriage Enhancement.

Quarantine Fatigue Symptoms

* Physical fatigue, loss of energy

* Irritability

* Disturbed sleep (too much or too little)

* Eating too much or too little

* Anxiety (new or aggravated)

* Apathy, lethargy, lack of motivation

* Emotional Lability

* Loneliness and Disconnection

* Feelings of Hopelessness

* Sadness and Depression

* Persistent desire or actual attempts to break quarantine

There are different sources of chronic stress

-Worry about getting sick and dying and the stigma when you actually get the virus

-Worry about the loss of a loved one, loss of job and income

-Conflicts due to being physically together longer than usual

-Cabin fever

-Infodemic

-Loneliness and isolation from being cut off from friends and family

These sources of chronic stress when piled up for a long period of time can cause increase of risk for anxiety and depression, weakens the immune system, degrades our ability to cope with stress which is a vicious cycle. Due to long period of isolation, a person can feel lonely and can increase the risk of all cause mortality by 29%, cardiovascular disease by 50%, and for those with the highest levels of social isolation, it doubles the risk of death from heart attacks.

The good news is, we can deal with Quarantine Fatigue

1. Physical Activity – short but regular physical activity can reduce stress, improve mood and mental clarity, release happy hormones, sense of control over your well-being, increase motivation, focus and learning ability and lastly, can stimulate rest and relaxation.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. – Viktor E. Frankl

1. Mindfulness – We can practice mindfulness through our mindful breathing. We need to fact check all the information we recieve, discern and digest it before we react. Our responses should be of reasonable assumption and to do it, we have to think of ways on handling our problems and of course, choose the better, if not best, way to do it.
2. Building Strong Relationships – in this quaratine, what we need to come through is simplified by having the 4 friends principle who would go through a roof for us. If you don’t have them yet, write who would you like them to be and make a plan to strengthen those friendships. If you have more than 4, then you are blessed. Treasure friends.

Three Factors for lasting friendship includes similar core values, emotional maturity and authentic love. These can be developed using the 3C’s of relationships.

C – Calendar daily friends chat or meet-up

C – show Caring behaviors

C – Communicate regularly and well

The Virtual Talk also held a Panel Discussion with Ms. Kay Emralino, Thomson Reuters Judicial Operations Group Leader, Mr. Bong Roa Yu, Thomson Reuters Operations Manager for Rules and Regulations Legal Content, and Ms. Lilibeth Repolidon, Thomas Reuters Collection Teams Leader.

My takeaways on this very timely talk, is that we need to connect regularly and we need to connect with people well. We can do fun activities even virtually and also observe friendly tone when speaking especially to our dear family members and friends.

Balance is the key when it comes to Quarantine Fatigue, we need to find time to sustain our spiritual, emotional, financial, intellectual, environmental, physical and social aspects of our lives, and who we choose to be friends/connected with can determine and bend our core values, too.

Lastly, we should practice to PAUSE.

Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you’re about to react harshly and you’ll avoid doing and saying things you’ll regret later.

3M Philippines’ Virtual Innovation Tour

Did you know? 3M celebrated their 118th Anniversary this year!

3M has been extending its hand during the pandemic and it has laid out its continuous effort to assist the Filipinos as they adapt to the new normal. It also promotes science in a distance learning set-up and last Thursday, 3M Philippines opened their virtual doors through their virtual innovation tour where they demonstrated how 3M applies its science to life.

The company strongly believed that Science can change the world as it continuously challenges itself to rethink ways to improve our daily lives through sustainable advancements.

What’s even amazing about 3M, is that if focuses on development so much that they spends approximately 6% of sales on research, very high for a typical manufacturing company.

3M for Cleaning and Protection: Scotchbrite

Cleaning is a dirty job, but someone has got to do it… typically, it’s us moms! Fortunately, 3M Science will back us up for even the toughest burned pots, to those big stains and messes!

Scothbrite Sponges – the scotchbrite sponges has many different colors. The colors actually indicate its capacity. Darker colors for tougher stains while light colors like yellow and pink for delicate glasses and melaware. The best part about these sponges is that aside from its ability to remove stains faster than ordinary pads, it also has anti-bacterial protection, just make sure you drain the excess water after use, stored in a dry place and sanitize with hot water. A gentle reminder: change your utensil sponges every 2 weeks.

Scothbrite Walis Tibay – designed to be lightweight, durable and sturdy, engineered to seep dust efficiently without straining your hands. Sanitize by shaking dust out of the broom and lightly spraying with sanitary solution. Store upright to keep shape.

3M for Personal Health Care

3M continually strives to bring new solutions to help heal minor wounds and protect from airborne particles.

Nexcare – from waterproof bandages to cooling fever patch, 3M’s Nexcare products is efficient in taking care of the patients, especially our little ones.

3M N95 masks and respirators – depending on the purpose, these masks are scientifically engineered to filter 95% of airborne particles from construction dusts to viruses. For the meantime, let’s reserve our N95 supplies to our frontliners. Let’s do our part and stay home as much as possible and observe social distancing, hand-washing, sanitizing and wearing of facial mask and shield.

3M for Home Improvement

Home improvement has been smoother and small renovations like a breeze with the help of 3M home improvement products.

Command – powered by 3M patented stretch release technology, Command is the preferred and trusted mounting product providing damage-free hanging solutions while providing strong hold but comes off clean without any wall surface damage!   

3M for Decorating, Organizing and Crafts, School and Office Supplies

Make your space and project picture perfect with 3M products.

Post-it – ranges from different colors and different purposes such as for vertical and horizontal use, Post-It is one of the extra-ordinary inventions of 3M that is now an ordinary residence to everyone’s craft table and office place.

3M for Sports and Recreation

Activities we do in our spare time are what we consider our passion in life, this includes outdoor activities such as biking or jogging. 3M will protect you while you enjoy your activities.

Reflective Apparel – drivers can only see from as far as 250m when driving at night and it takes at least a 500m distance for a fast moving car to fully stop, hence, it is important to wear reflective apparel when going out at night. 3M reflective apparel can be seen from as far as 1000m.

3M for Food Safety and Hygiene

After the virtual tour, 3M Philippines Food Microbiologist Angel Barnes Jr. showed to us that when it comes to food safety, there is more than what m-eats the eyes.

3m Clean- Trace Luminometer – used in industrial, healthcare facilities, and food industry as a reliable system that features improved ease of use, faster time to result and simple, onehanded operation. Its ergonomic design makes testing simple, minimizing training time and costs. It also has a higher degree of repeatability and lower variability with accurate results you can count on.

3M #ScienceAtHome

3M is committed to helping teachers and students as they adapt to a new way of learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual event ended with a fun activity demonstrated by Engr. Joshua Kevin Uy. The Chromatography Experiment he showed us and many more safe experiments you can do with your kids at home can be found on https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/gives-us/education/science-at-home/.

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo shares her secrets in keeping Luna healthy and happy!

Quarantine stories and parenting tips straight from Mommy Juday!

The health and safety of the whole family is every parent’s number one priority especially during these unprecedented times. For our super mom, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, adapting to the new normal was never easy but with the help of her friends and a few experts around her, adjusting has now become a challenging yet delightful learning experience for her and her family.

Knowing the difficulties and struggles of being a mom, Mommy Juday shared some of her latest discoveries in making sure that her kids can safely grow healthy and happy while staying at home.

1. Gawing mas happy ang bawat moment na kasama si Chikiting

“Ngayong araw-araw tayong magkakasama, ito yung time for us to nurture our kids more. I-enjoy natin yung bawat moment na kasama natin sila dahil our kids really look up to us, ginagaya nila tayo. Kaya kung ano yung sabihin natin, gawin natin, pano tayo magdamit, paano tayo mag-alaga sa kanila, ibinabalik nila sa atin yun.” shared mommy Juday as she explains the value of spending as much time with her kids during the quarantine period.

Given that we’re mostly staying at home, grab every opportunity to spend as much time with your chikitings by doing the things they enjoy, their passions, and the things they’re curious about. Immerse yourself in what they like to get to know them better and help them develop their skills along the way.

2. Spark the curiosity of your chikitings and learn with them

Being at home does not mean skipping on the chance to learn, children are naturally curious and this is the opportunity for you to explore and learn new things with them. Mommy Judy Ann values her children’s education and shares that she studies with her kids. She proudly admits that she even learns a lot from them!

“Nag-aaral ako with them dahil bilang nanay kailangan mo rin i-level up ang knowledge mo sa kung ano ang ginagawa ng mga anak mo. Kasama din nila ako magresearch tungkol sa mga bagay bagay dahil minsan mas alam pa nila kung ano yung mga bago at trending kaysa sa’kin at mas natututo ako from them and with them.”

3. Gawing family bonding ang gawaing bahay

Use this time to teach your kids about household chores by slowly introducing small tasks they can do around the house. In the case of Mommy Juday, Luna enjoys helping her cook, and they even started planting their own veggies together: “Recently nagtatanim kami nina Lucho at Luna ng mga veggies na pwede naming ulamin!”

She also knows the importance of teaching her kids the skills they need to be more independent as they grow up, “We need to equip our children with basic survival skills tulad ng pagluluto, paglilinis, paglalaba, at paghuhugas ng pinggan para paglaki nila, hindi sila nakadepende sa ibang tao dahil naturuan natin sila at this early age.”

4. Panatilihing malusog at masaya ang mga chikiting with the right nutrition partner

Choose the right nutrition partner which can always provide all the nutrients that your chikitings need for them to grow happy and healthy. Mommy Judy Ann also believes that boosting our kids’ immune system will be their very first line of defense against illnesses. By providing their tummies with complete nutrients, they can be strong enough to fight off germs and viruses.

“Sa panahon ngayon, we need to look for the right milk na makakatulong sa happy at tamang paglaki ng mga bagets natin. We want them to be ready and equipped with whatever they might face diba? Kaya ako I choose only NESTOGROW® 4 for Luna talaga.”  Mommy Juday also talked about how her trusted milk brand is enriched with L COMFORTIS® which improves the absorption of nutrients in children’s tummies and no added table sugar — ensuring that your kids get the #KumpletongNutriTIYAN they need to #GrowHappy and healthy!

Mommy Judy Ann’s NESTOGROW® journey

Judy Ann and her youngest daughter Luna officially joined the NESTOGROW® family this year as the brand’s newest endorsers alongside Mommy Melai Cantiveros-Francisco and Mela. “Malaki talaga ang pasalamat ko sa NESTOGROW® at sa tiwalang ibinigay nila sa amin ni Luna. Sa totoo lang, NESTOGROW® talaga yung produktong pinagkakatiwalaan ko, especially when it comes to my children.” Working with NESTOGROW® has been such a great blessing for Judy Ann this year. It was just a perfect match from the beginning as she automatically fell in love with the brand as it helped show great improvement for Luna.

To further shine light on the importance of gut health, the newest mom and daughter duo starred in NESTOGROW’s TV commercial where Judy Ann explains to Luna na ang health ng katawan ay nagsisimula sa tiyan! 

With the release of the TVC, Mommy Judy Ann lets us in on a secret that the whole production was done right in their home with just a camera and the help of a few friends. It was a different experience being used to having a full production set, but according to her, “It was really a collaborative effort since konti lang kami and wala din kaming masyadong gamit . But it was fun working with friends and seeing Luna really happy and energetic during the shoot!” For Judy Ann, the whole experience is really something she’ll be treasuring since they were able to create something despite the challenges brought by the new normal: “This is something that will remain very memorable for Luna, and for me as well kasi we were able to rise above the challenge and adapt to change. I’m just so happy to see Luna happily doing things and adjusting to change at a very young age.”

Learn and spend time with your kids during this quarantine period by checking out NESTGROW’s latest commercial through this LINK and find out why you should definitely not forget about the importance of the tiyan!

4 Tips to Boost Your Immune System Through Nutrition David Heber, M.D, PhD, FACP, FASN – Chairman, Herbalife Nutrition Institute

When people think about their immune system, they usually consider its role in fighting a cold or infection. But there is a direct connection between the immune system and nutrition. Our immune system is one of the most effective forms of defense against viral infections.

There are two categories of immune functions in everyone’s body – the innate immunity which prevents diseases from entering the body and adaptive immunity which eliminates or prevents the growth of pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, in our body. In a person who is malnourished, the immune system shuts down. In people who are overweight or obese, the immune system becomes hyperactive and causes inflammation.

How Nutrition Impacts the Body’s Immune System There is a tangible connection between the immune system and nutrition. What we eat, where we live, how much we sleep, how we exercise, and even who we live with, all causes chemical reactions that can alter our health status. Added to the mix is our microbiome, which are the microorganisms we depend on to protect us against germs, break down food for energy, produce vital vitamins and bolster our immune system. The largest part of the immune system ¬– approximately 70% of it – is located near the intestines, which monitors the intake of food and how the body uses it.

This makes it critical for us to consume a balanced diet with the right vitamins, minerals, and nutrients while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 4 Tips to Increase Nutrients That Help Strengthen the Immune System Eating a balanced diet requires ensuring that there is optimal nutrition intake at a cellular level.

Make sure you consume enough of the following nutrients:

1. Include protein in your daily nutrition. Also known as the basic building blocks of the body, protein allows the body to manufacture antibodies that it requires to defend against invading viruses and bacteria. To ensure that we have sufficient levels of protein in our diet, we can eat more healthy protein foods such as fish, poultry, lean meats, soy foods and low-fat dairy products.

2. Incorporate vitamins and phytonutrients. Vitamins A and C, as well as phytonutrients, are key players in immune system health. As one of the biggest immune system boosters, Vitamin C encourages our body to produce antibodies that fight diseases. It is essential to maintain a daily intake of vitamin C as the body does not produce or store it. Vitamin A supports the health of our skin, tissues of our digestive tract and respiratory system. Phytonutrients, which are found in vegetables and fruits reduce our body’s oxidative stress, which may weaken its ability to fight off illnesses. A number of phytonutrients have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, fight inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and boost the overall health of our immunity system.

3. Focus on gut health with probiotics and prebiotics. The digestive system plays a central role in supporting immune function. The intestinal tract is the main route of contact with the external environment and is a pathway that contains microbiomes that aids digestion as well as the absorption of nutrients. Having the right gut bacteria has been associated with benefits such as weight loss, improved digestion, healthier skin, and most importantly enhanced immune function, although research in these areas is not conclusive or universally applicable. Studies have shown that probiotics, which are ‘good bacteria’, are useful in maintaining the digestive system, and prebiotics, types of fiber that the human body cannot digest, serve as food for these probiotics.

4. Increase omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA, are healthy and essential types of fat, which can be found in food such as chia seed and supplements such as fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids may enhance the functions of immune cells, which plays a large role in both the innate and adaptive system that responds to infections.

Following general good-health guidelines ¬–balanced diet, regular exercise– is your first line of defense and the best way towards naturally keeping your immune system strong and healthy.

Creative snacks for homeschool recess

As students prepare to take their classes online for their safety amid the pandemic, it is important to keep them fueled and motivated for school. To help boost their creativity and learning, Solane, the country’s leading LPG solutions provider, suggests smart tips for creative snacks that are perfect for study breaks:

Create fun snacks during craft-making day. Parents can bake butter cookies, cupcakes or cakes while kids decorate them with designs like the planets of the solar system or their favorite literary characters. The key is to think out of the box and prep ahead of time or during the weekend so everything is ready for a quick snack break. Doing this can help make their homeschooling experience more fun and give them something enjoyable to look forward to every week.

Have a weekly themed recess. Turn recess into an opportunity to learn something new. It can be a fun science experiment like turning milk into ice cream or it can be a short “tour around the world,” discovering different cultures through food. Serve them various cuisines as their snacks with a new country as the theme every day or every week.

Make bento boxes. Some parents struggle to make their kids eat nutritious foods. To encourage and excite the kids to eat well-balanced meals, why not make bento boxes? Utilize colorful ingredients or shape them into cute animals to make the bento box visually appetizing. Other great ideas for bento lunch sets are sushi sandwiches with sliced fruits or nori-wrapped rice sandwiches that can be made from leftovers.

Incorporate food that boost memory and concentration. Help kids get through their homeschool hours by preparing “brain food” to boost memory and concentration. Try fruit bowls or smoothies with blueberries, strawberries, kiwis and oranges. Studies show that these fruits contain vitamin C and antioxidants, which help prevent mental decline and improve communication in the brain cells, respectively. Be sure to include fatty fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, which are rich in omega-3s for better cognition and thinking abilities.

Prepare these fun and healthy snack options suggested by Solane to help students be well and learn better. To know more, visit www.solane.com.ph.

Beauty + Immunity: 4Life Transfer Factor® Collagen

Pre-pandemic, my skin is a total burn! Sun damaged with sun spots due to prolonged sun exposure aside from my not-so-healthy diet (hello sugar and carbs!) and irregular skin care routine.
