Masks on. Stay two meters apart. Wash your hands often. Even if we are already two years into a pandemic, we still cringe when we hear someone sneeze or cough in public, more so when it’s someone near us. We have never been this cautious about our health, or as interested in knowing the latest updates on cases and variants. We even know the ideal daily dosage of Vitamin C. But before you stock up on those fruit juices, hear this out. In the season-ender of SUPERHUMAN, host Wil Dasovich and his finale guest, Dr. Dex Macalintal, a registered nutritionist and lifestyle medicine physician, talk about the nuances of our immunity and how to best double down on our health.

The risks related to the top non-communicable diseases in the Philippines, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, can be greatly...

  For some, pets mean a lot of hard work. Imagine investing time, effort, and even money to raise a dog or a cat, which sometimes became a source of frustration. Yet, a lot of people still choose to own or adopt a pet. It is because, despite all the hard work in raising them, it’s all worth it. These pets are more than just four-legged fur creatures; they are like our babies; they are like our family that we can’t find anywhere else. Just like our family, we want to keep them safe and healthy. But, unlike humans, we can’t easily understand what they are feeling. They can only bark, purr, or cry when they want to tell you something. If only they arrived with an instruction manual and a language that you could easily understand. So, to give you a guide towards “Fur Parenting,” CADE (Companion Animal Digital Engagement), introduced We Are Family (WAF) ( https://www.weare-family.com/ph/ ), an online community, and your go-to website for different things you want to know as a fur parent...

We're confident that when we do need cash, we can always withdraw via ATMs.  Then pandemic strikes, no one's prepared. Establishments closed, even banks were affected. There were a lot of days that we experienced machines (atm) went offline and this proved to be quite a hassle.  As we continue to live through the pandemic, everyone should learn the value of going digital, since this is the new normal.
