Body Flavors Organic Soaps: Flavor Yourself, Help The Environment

Most of us use “normal” soap everyday. That means millions of tonnes of soap residue are being flushed away into the drainage system and out into our aquatic environment every year. Chemically-made soap (the normal soap) contains dangerous chemicals that are an added threat to our environment, specifically on aquatic life. Chemicals and fragrances used in ordinary soap have already been proven to cause organ defects in animals. If you really care about the environment, you should know that there are greener ways to stay clean.

Organic soaps are substitutes to our ordinary soap. These eco-friendly soaps not only help the environment (since they’re hand-made out of organic materials) but are effective in making your skin look better, smoother and fairer. One of the best organic soaps in the Philippines is Body Flavors. Body Flavors Enterprises, founded by CEO Azenith Badana, is a startup organic business tuned to giving only the products best for the skin which are very eco-friendly at the same time.  The soaps are cold-processed and do not go through harsh soap-making procedures thus the ingredients are preserved and remain natural.

While we can’t live without the sun, our eyes can’t survive too much exposure on it. Our eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of our body and diverse environmental factors could cause it not to perform well, or even destroy it.

There are many ways to protect one’s eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. One of which is wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses are not only for fashion. There is a much higher purpose of it which is to protect our eyes. Since the sun releases out a lot of ultraviolet rays, there is much danger for our eyes getting defunct or having ocular problems.

Some of the short-term and long-term ocular problems caused by excessive eye exposure to the sun are: Read the rest of this entry »

Drink Your Apple A Day

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

We are all familiar with that saying, aren’t we? Just last week, a friend kept on saying about how happy she was with her apple juice. She said it was in apple-shaped bottles too. Well I imagined and all I could think of was the apple juice in the game Ragnarok Online which was the pet food for a Poring. Of course I am partially correct.

When our group had our overnight database building last Thursday in her house, she gave us a bottle each of her favorite apple juice. It was a new taste — unlike the apple flavor of juice packs. It is really apple juice, the real apple.

Because I liked it too, I bought some yesterday. I have apple juices at home now!

Martinelli's Gold Medal Apple Juice

So what are the benefits of apple juice?

Numerous research studies are providing strong scientific evidence that apples do indeed promote good health throughout our lifetime. Research has also shown that the nutrients in whole apples that provide many important health benefits are “passed along” when the fruit is processed into apple juice.

Apple juice, like the apple fruit, has phytonutrients that have powerful antioxidant effects on our body. It can reduce cancer risks, brain cell damage, heart disease risk, and asthma risk. Great. Apple juice can be a good supplement to your diet. But fruits will always be number one.

This Martinelli’s Gold Medal apple juice that I bought is also affordable aside from being made from real apples in the USA. I bought 4 bottles for Php 65.25. But if you buy it individually it’ll cost you around Php 54.00. Erratum: Regular price is Php 54.00 per bottle.

So don’t forget, drink your apple a day! Yikes!
