Spread Christmas cheer with creative and pocket-friendly gifts and w hip up personalized presents with Midea Microwave Ovens The art of gift-giving is a tough skill to master. If properly done, a gift becomes a wish for someone’s happiness. A poorly chosen gift, however, can distort the good intention and may leave the recipient disappointed. Gifting can be frustrating but when executed with the right amount of perceptiveness and a pinch of creativity, it’s sure to be a rewarding and meaningful experience for both the giver and the receiver. The two big questions we face when picking a gift are always what to give and how much to spend. A thoughtful present need not be expensive or extravagant. Sweet treats that you can make using a microwave oven are a convenient and fail-proof way to make someone’s day without breaking the bank.

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue (fibrosis) that replace normal skin after injury. A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process. With the exception of very minor lesions, every wound (e.g., after accident, disease, or surgery) results in some degree of scarring.

Despite continuous studies for the treatment of dengue, the mosquito-borne disease remains to be incurable. Still, pharmaceutical companies and health geniuses are yet to converge their knowledge and try more possible solutions for the cure of dengue. Since the epidemic outbreak that started in the Philippines and Thailand in the 1950s, 64 years later, the best discovery to address the disease is a vaccine that prevents dengue. However, just last year, a new type of dengue is discovered. This means that the new strain is more capable of enduring the body’s mechanism, making it stronger and harder to cure. With all these threats coming despite the progress in finally developing the treatment, still, it does not erase the people’s apprehension in having the disease.

According to a report by Euromonitor, Filipinos are the 3rd heaviest drinkers in the world. While many people think of this as a feat to be proud of, doctors would disagree, as excessive alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of liver disease.

While it is difficult to avoid alcohol as it is a huge part of our culture, we can protect our livers with the right supplements.

Selfie dito, group pic doon. In this day and age where we’re obsessed with capturing the moment and uploading our pictures online, and we can’t help but feel the need to look presentable all the time.  That’s why it’s no surprise that people are becoming more fashionable, or fashown. However, when it comes to skincare, people tend to overlook this, thinking it’s easy to just cover up blemishes and wrinkles with photo editing apps.

Everyone has been there – we pledge to lose weight, eat less, exercise more, gain muscle, and get enough rest. But it’s not just physical fitness that we need to mind. Financial fitness is just as important if we want to secure our well-being, quality of life, and of course, our future. Think it’s hard to get financially fit? Here are five easy steps from UTrade you can take to get started on this road. Measure yourself. Just as you need to measure your vital statistics before any fitness regimen, it’s equally important to know where you stand on the financial scale. Take stock of your earnings, spending, debt, and investment and create a series of goals. Save more. Weight gain happens when calories taken in are more than calories burned; conversely, savings decrease when money spent overtakes money set aside. Give up a daily or weekly item – it can be as simple as a daily coffee at a designer coffee house or a lunch out at work and replace them with homemade snacks. The sav...

Helping people, the less fortunate, is natural for Filipinos, particularly those who have achieved their success from humble beginnings. Nilo S. Gret, a former Bank Executive and native of Tiaong, Quezon province, is one of those Filipinos. He pioneered the first technical school in Tiaong, Quezon, where it is helping local students pursue paying careers with TESDA backed certified training.

The liver is the biggest and one of the vital internal organs in the body. It performs numerous important functions, including the filtration of blood from the digestive tract, detoxification of chemicals that enter the body, metabolization of fats, and regulation of hormones and blood sugar levels. But despite its important role, the liver is also one of the most abused body organs. “Throughout a person’s lifetime, the liver is constantly engaged in a cycle of damage, inflammation and cell death. Under normal conditions, it can repair and renew itself. But if it is injured faster than it is repairing, the damage can be irreversible and may lead to organ failure,” explains Dr. Nicky Montoya, president of MediCard Philippines.
