Embrace Active Aging: Prioritizing Bone and Joint Health This World Health Day

 



Many of us face challenges as we age, from weakening bones and joints to reduced mobility and an increased risk of chronic conditions. Osteoporosis, in particular, has become a pressing concern among adults and the elderly, yet it is frequently dismissed as a natural part of aging. This perception results in a lack of urgency in addressing the disease, leaving many unaware of the preventive measures they can take to maintain strong bones and joints. Without early intervention, poor bone and joint health can significantly impact one’s independence and overall quality of life, making everyday activities more challenging.


A key factor contributing to poor bone health is inadequate calcium intake. In the Philippines , daily calcium consumption remains critically low at below 500 mg— far from the 1,000 mg recommended for adults. The 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey further revealed that 97.2% of adults and 95.5% of the elderly suffer from calcium deficiency, highlighting a widespread nutritional gap. These concerning figures emphasize the urgent need to raise awareness, encourage early diagnosis, and promote proactive steps to support bone and joint health. By prioritizing education, improving access to proper nutrition, and incorporating the right supplements, we can take charge of our well-being and continue leading active, independent lives as we age.


As we celebrate World Health Day on April 7, it is the perfect time to reflect on the importance of prioritizing overall health and well-being. This global awareness day serves as a reminder that maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is essential at every stage of life. Aging gracefully is not just about appearance—it’s about staying strong, mobile, and independent for as long as possible. With the right support, Filipinos can take proactive steps to safeguard their health and continue doing what they love.


To support active and healthy aging, LAC Philippines, a leading health and wellness supplement brand, offers two essential products designed to promote strong bones and flexible joints.


LAC FullCal® features a highly absorbable Calcium Citrate powder formula that helps strengthen bones and teeth while ensuring optimal calcium absorption and metabolism. Enriched with fish collagen, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, it also supports joint health. Its good 2:1 Calcium-to-Magnesium ratio aids in proper calcium utilization, while added Magnesium supports muscle function. The formula also helps promote healthy nerve signaling, reducing muscle cramps and tension.


Its fast-dissolving powder format ensures effortless consumption, simply take it directly in the mouth or mix it with water or juice, making it a great option for those who have difficulty swallowing pills. Packed in individual sachets for on-the-go use, LAC FullCal® comes in two refreshing flavors—lemon and apple—offering a simple yet effective way to maintain bone health, muscle function, and an active lifestyle.


Meanwhile, LAC Joint Protec™ is specially formulated with Glucosamine and Chondroitin to enhance joint flexibility and mobility. Enriched with Collagen, Calcium, Vitamin D3, Cat’s Claw Extract, and Pineapple Essence, it provides daily joint support for those looking to stay active. This supplement helps alleviate joint stiffness and discomfort while promoting healthy cartilage and connective tissue. Its jelly format makes it a convenient and enjoyable option for individuals who want to prioritize joint health without the hassle of large pills.


Aging should never mean slowing down. With proper care, the right nutrition, and an active lifestyle, we can continue living life to the fullest. This World Health Day, let’s make a commitment to prioritize our well-being and embrace the journey of healthy aging with confidence with LAC.

Dengue is Real, Keep Your Child Safe with OFF! Lotion

Our Family is always our top priority. It was September of 2015 when my daughter was hospitalized and turned out to be positive for Dengue, as a mom I was so scared. Nurses always come in to our room every 6 hours to get blood sample from my daughter for them to monitor her platelet count.  It was an unpleasant sight for me to see my daughter in that condition at her young age. When my daughter cries due to the pain of needle inserted to her skin, it was a more painful scene and sound for me, wishing that all of what I see and hear are not real, it was really heart breaking.
