With the start of a new
year comes fresh opportunities to make better, healthier choices. Developing
habits supporting one’s lifestyle goals may prove to be challenging, but Pepsi-Cola
Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) encourages Filipinos to take even small,
simple steps to build sustainable habits over time.
“Our brands support Filipinos as they take strides towards a healthier, more productive 2023. We believe that by making more mindful choices over time, more people can reap the positive benefits of adopting a more active, balanced lifestyle.” ~Frederick D. Ong, PCPPI President and Chief Executive Officer
Aside from
exclusively producing well-loved beverages such as Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew,
and Gatorade in the country, PCPPI also bottles and distributes Premier
Purified Water. As one of the country’s respected drinking water brands,
Premier Purified guarantee consumer satisfaction as products pass high
standards after stringent quality and safety testing.
PCPPI suggests five key
tips to start 2023 on the right foot:
· Explore
healthier dietary options. According
to the World Health Organization (WHO), adults should maintain a diet high in
fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, but lower in salt, free sugar, and
saturated fats. When filling one’s food basket, spend a few more minutes to
check the nutrition labels. Developing healthy dietary habits may help strengthen
the body in fighting non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart
disease, stroke, and cancer.
· Integrate
movement in your daily routine. The worst exercise routine is a non-existent one. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an adult needs 150
minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week. That’s only 30
minutes every week day, so getting a few steps, skips, and stretches in may
work wonders for one’s overall well-being.
Engaging
in physical activities can also improve one’s self-esteem and cognitive
functions, and can also help reduce tendencies for anxiety and depression.
· Recovery
is key. While
physical activity and dietary choices are important in one’s annual health
kick-start, getting adequate rest allows the body to recharge and reset. More
than getting sufficient hours of sleep, medical studies suggest reducing one’s
use of digital devices while in bed to help improve the quality of resting
time.
· Make
time for mental health. Practicing
self-care and kindness goes a long way. Taking
a few minutes to pause and reflecting on the brighter side of daily life can do
wonders when managing stress. One’s health also has to do with embracing
mindfulness, patience, and compassion towards oneself and others. It may help
to keep a daily journal, or write down three positive things that happened at
the end of the day as forms of “self check-in.”
· Drink
more water. The
CDC says everyone should consume eight to 10 glasses of water. Aside from
preventing dehydration, doing so helps regulate cognitive, hormonal, and
circulatory functions. Having a bottle of Premier Purified Water handy is
recommended for proper nourishment even when on-the-go.
