Pregnancy Myths Debunked @ ProMama Event

Coffee is bad for pregnant women.  Pregnant women can't swim.  Doing Yoga is a no no when you are pregnant.

These are just some of the common pregnancy myths that were debunked at the ProMama event held at Lolo Dads just recently with    ProMama council of fit and fab moms Amanda Griffin-Jacob, Delamar Arias and Tricia Chiongbian-Concepcion  who are  walking testaments to the fact that life is further enriched by pregnancy.

Tricia, a known health enthusiast, still continues on with her fit lifestyle that includes running a couple of miles a day in spite of expecting her second child this September; Delamar who’s part of a popular radio show, doesn’t let morning sickness or hormones tone done her natural exuberance and humor in hosting her program; and finally, 2-time mom Amanda Griffin-Jacob hasn’t succumbed to what she calls the “mommy meltdown” and is still considered to be one of the most beautiful faces in Philippine showbiz.


To a fit and fab pregnancy
If there’s one thing that’s definitely not a myth, it’s the fact that pregnant women should take special care of their nutritional needs.

Wyeth Nutrition, makers of ProMama, understands this, and wants every woman to fully enjoy the journey of pregnancy. A nutritional milk drink designed to support women—and not just the unborn baby—during pregnancy.  ProMama focuses on the life giver to address the needs of both mother and child.

“The fulcrum of each family is the mother. Without her, the family would fall apart—emotionally, mentally, physically, psychologically. Wyeth Nutrition fully acknowledges these values with ProMama, the milk that takes care of mothers so they can take care of their children,” says Anonuevo.

Only ProMama contains the Pro-Nutri Builders, ingredients that support the health and development of both mother and child during pregnancy.  These include Maternal Immunity Enhancers like Beta Carotene, which has antioxidant and immunostimulatory properties, and Vitamins C, E and A, which also helps promote good vision and cellular growth.

Pro-Nutri Builders are also targeted for the growing baby. ProMama has Mental Enhancers like DHA, a nutrient important for a child’s visual and mental development; Folic Acid, which is essential for the development of the nervous system and in preventing neural tube defects; and Zinc, which assists in fetal neurodevelopment. ProMama’s formula also contains Bone and Muscle Builders such as Vitamin D, important for calcium metabolism and to support an unborn baby’s bone and teeth development; Protein, the building block of all tissues; and Calcium, which supports bone development.

ProMama, which is available in Vanilla Delight Flavor, has only 15 percent of calories from fat. Just two servings of ProMama daily can help promote appropriate weight gain during pregnancy.

Environment Friendly Mobile Medical Units

Lifeline Mobile, a quality manufacturing leader in the production of mobile medical units, provides mobile mammography, dental, medical, and laboratory units. Instead of acting as a middleman, Lifeline Mobile is the manufacturer itself meaning that prices will be reasonable and all questions will be answered by the experts themselves. 

Many companies create mobile units that are simply glorified RVs and/or school buses. Lifeline Mobile instead creates truck based units that are crafted with your specific needs and program in mind. The understructure of the mobile clinics consist of four inch steel under the entire structure ensuring a firm foundation constructed to last for decades.

The ceilings are significantly higher than other company's mobile medical units giving the space the open feel of an actual office. Also, unlike other manufacturers, Lifeline Mobile uses commercial grade materials instead of residential materials to ensure that the equipment and furniture in the unit will survive the years instead of falling apart in just a year or two. 

The goal of the company is to create mobile medical units that have the look and feel of a medical office. These units are equipped with handicap accessibility and private rooms to ensure confidentiality. Lifeline Mobile is dedicated to developing new ideas and products, reinvesting money back into product development to ensure continuing improvements, and continuing research to make units more effective and efficient. The company's goal is also to reduce carbon emissions, increase fuel efficiency, as well as eliminate as much noise pollution as possible.

A Weekend Full Of Activities At Mommy & Me

Summer is almost over – it's time to snatch up some worthwhile quality time with your kids before you send them off to school! Share bonding moments and enjoy activities with your little ones at Mom and Me on May 25 and 26 (from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.) at Rockwell Tent, Makati – a last hurrah for the summer and the special Mommy month of May.  

 

This event aims to foster the relationship of moms and kids through activities that both can do together. While kids can learn from independent play as it nourishes creativity and imagination and organized activities with other kids as in summer classes, when parents and kids do activities together, it gives them a common sense of purpose and a goal. Kids love receiving the affection and undivided attention of their parents, and want to be able to spend as much time with them as possible.

 

Let Mom and Me jumpstart your daily family play-time with a weekend full of bonding activities! The event is participated in by supporters of mom-child activities.

 

Choose between a relaxing yoga or fun Zumba workout sessions led by Beyond Yoga, or do both! Learn what kind of dishes you and your little tots can do together with McCormick. For something more exciting, Coach Stauro of Coach and Kids, Inc. will teach moms and kids how to kick and punch with a taekwondo demonstration. Young Artist's Studio will spark you and your little one's creativity with a workshop session on painting, drawing and coloring together. 

 

The educational talks promise to be an enjoyable one for both moms and kids as interactive games are included in each. Ives Lim-Esteban of Halo Philippines will talk about "The ABC's of Safe Sleep" while

Dra. Michelle Daddo tackles the topic of "Healthy Moms for a Healthy Family". Mom blogger Mariel Uyquiengco will be share ideas to capture a child’s heart through the wonderful world of books with a short talk entitled "Childhood Happens Once: Read to your Child". After the short talk, kids of all ages are invited to participate in a musical storytime that will get them listening, rocking, and moving!

 

Tiddle Tots will transport moms and kids to wonderland with a fashion show of fairies, superheroes, and princesses. For those with toddlers, Gymboree will conduct their crowd-favorite- Parachute Time, along with moms and dads. The Learning Library, an educational enrichment school whose mission is to develop the love of reading in English and Filipino among children, will host an interactive story-telling activity in Filipino. Wiggle and jiggle with Regine Tolentino, as she teaches an interactive fusion cardio, and dance some more with a version of zumba dubbed as “Swamu” by Slimmer's World.

 

The entire family can have their portrait photos taken by mommy photographer BG Valencia of Red Stiletto, and enjoy the beauty corner of Vanity Beauty Bar and Patisserie. Kids will also enjoy playing around Gymboree’s Play area plus glitter face painting from JAS Party Needs will be on hand.

 

On top of all these activities that moms and kids can do together, top mom and kids brands will be showcasing their wares from clothes, shoes, toys, home décor and more!

 

Entrance passes to this fun-filled weekend are at P499, good for 1 mom/dad and 1 child; additional participants at P250. Those who prefer access to only the booth activities such as the family portrait area, beauty booth, play area, and shopping area can get passes for P199.

From Now On April Is Autism Acceptance Month

This year marks the 6th year when the United Nations declared April 2, 2013 the World Autism Awareness Day.  I think since from that year to now the word has spread and now people know that there are people among us who look normal but are different and very special because of their mental challenges/ disability.    Since that year people have been aware but there are still a million out there who just don't accept and understand.  So from Now On April Is Autism Acceptance Month .   People need to accept that there are people who are not like the average ones that there are special people everywhere we all just have to be considerate and understanding.
