Health Talk: The result a week after without coffee

Coffee has been a part of my everyday life since childhood. As far as I can remember, my grandma told me that I started drinking coffee when I was only 5 years old, I grew up knowing how good coffee is especially with you add some milk or creamer on it.

Coffee can be beneficial to some but not for people like me who are suffering from acid reflux and palpitations. I used to drink 5-8 cups of coffee in a day which did not result well.

Now that I'm about to turn 40 soon, not getting any younger and still taking care of my family, I needed to do some precautions regarding my health and do some appropriate actions to take care of my self, and that's when I took the opportunity to improve myself and decide to become a better version of myself.

I decided to choose healthy alternatives on what I got used to and to make a better version of me.
So I started from my energizer which is coffee. From my usual 5-8 cups, I have learned to reduce it and find a better and delicious alternative, without the acid and palpitations.

That's when I found out about Barlico products, which are made from Barley and Chicory, a healthy alternative which is their Barlico instant coffee substitute.
I started to replace my daily dose with Barlico Instant coffee substitute.

What's good about Barlico?
Barlico can be enjoyed by people from different walks of life and age. My daughter also enjoys Barlico product and her favorite is the Barlico Choco that has a real and rich taste of cocoa. Even kids, breastfeeding moms, and soon to be moms can enjoy this product. Barlico is made from Barley and Chicory.

Barley- is known to be one of the Superfood because of its great health benefits. High in fiber content, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It helps to improve digestion, weight loss, helps control blood sugar level, helps lower high cholesterol and prevents heart disease.
Chicory- is known to be a coffee substitute.that can treat heartburn, constipation, and arthritis. It is also rich in natural antioxidants which is good for the liver.

After a week, I noticed that my cravings stopped, no acid reflux, no palpitations and most importantly, no caffeine intake.
Now, I have not been drinking coffee for quite some time now but I still feel energized and awake even without caffeine.
Barlico has made great changes to me and I am glad to share this experience because it may also help you.

I know leaving behind what you get used to is not easy but if you wanted to live healthily, then don't hesitate because for sure it is worth it.

Barlico can be bought in Unimart nationwide or you can place your order via their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/barlicophilippines/

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater.

As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight. For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
