Keeping Fit This 2018

Having New Year's resolution has been one of my waterloos but when it comes to health, that is a non-negotiable resolution not only for the year but every day. As much as possible, I always eat fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, exercise (walking), and have a complete 8 hours of sleep every night.

Drinking milk is also a part of my daily health regimen especially now that I've passed the big 4-0 mark. Milk is also important because as one gets older, the bones is not as healthy as when one is growing up. It needs some calcium boost to keep it healthy and strong.

And Athena addresses this calcium boost especially for women. This powdered milk is low in fat so its really perfect especially for those who are particular about calorie count. It has has Vitamins A and E, and Zinc which is considered as anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants helps in keeping the skin healthy. Lastly, Athena is high in calcium so one is really assured of keeping the bones healthy.

Athena comes in two flavors- Milk (180g- P130; 400g- P273) and Chocolate (180g- P130). You can buy this online at www.athena.com.ph and in Mercury Drugstore, Watsons, and Southstar branches nationwide.

Here's another healthy snack but specifically meant for pregnant women and aptly called "Crave." I love snacks and can't seem to get rid of the habit of not indulging in chips so I'm quite curious about Crave.

This healthy snack is packed with Folic Acid, Calcium, and Iron, and available in Sweet Corn Flavor.  When I was pregnant, I experience great pangs of hunger especially on my last trimester but my OB-GYNE advised me not to gain any more weight and of course, refrain from snacking on chips because of its salt content. Crave though has this nutritional fortifications that's perfect for pregnant women who craves for some chips.

Crave costs P25 for a 30g pack. You can buy it online at www.cravehealthysnacks.com, or at select Med Express and Robinsons Supermarket outlets.
