Getting through the daily grind can be exhausting. Work, family, and friends all pose obligations that can sometimes be overwhelming. With the unprecedented challenges the pandemic has presented, just being able to get through our day-to-day responsibilities can zap your energy. This is why it’s important to take care of our well-being by embracing a healthy lifestyle.

I know it’s easier said than done. While eating right to get all the nutrients and keeping an active lifestyle are healthy habits to build, supplements help keep your health in check and ensure that you meet the daily recommended intake of vitamins and minerals.

Puritan’s Pride offers vitamins and supplements at great value for money. To help you get through your day, here are five of their vitamins that are highly recommended to boost the immune system and provide much-needed energy:

How easy is it for you to get a glass of water? For most of us, it’s only a few seconds walk to the kitchen, where a cold pitcher is waiting for us to pour water into a glass. It takes me 11 seconds to walk from my room to a fridge. If my one-liter tumbler is full, it takes no time as it’s always on my desk. Many of us don’t need to walk six kilometers to quench our thirst.

Sadly, that’s not the reality for others. A study released by World Vision revealed that six kilometers (3.7 miles) is the average distance people in developing areas would have to walk for water. This journey for clean water takes hours every single day.

I love work and I’m forever grateful for all the opportunities that I get, but there are times when I just feel tired and overwhelmed. This is especially true during midday when a sumptuous lunch would leave me feeling sleepy. The bed looks extra inviting, especially with the silky touch of bamboo sheets and the cloud-like duvet. I can say goodbye to afternoon productivity when I get into bed after lunch.

Lately, I’ve been feeling extra productive during midday and for the rest of the afternoon because I now drink a glass of Berocca after lunch. If you’re not familiar, Berocca helps enhance your mental sharpness and physical energy so you can #BeSupercharged for whatever’s ahead of you.

The ongoing pandemic has made many of us more mindful of our health, but I’m lucky that I grew up with a mom who’s obsessed with it ever since. She constantly reminds us to take our vitamins and always knew what medicine or supplement to take when we weren’t feeling too good. I picked up the habit and continued taking vitamins every day.

I’ve trusted Puritan’s Pride for the past few years and religiously take their vitamin C and melatonin. I also bought their biotin when I had hair fall during the start of the pandemic. My hair falls when it gets too long and I’ve only had it cut twice since March of last year.

If you’re like me who wants to make sure that you’re healthy every day, here are five vitamins and supplements you can add to your daily routine:

The COVID-19 health crisis has laid bare the vulnerabilities in global health systems. In countries like the Philippines, where millions live below the poverty line, the gaps in the healthcare system are more acutely felt.

In February 2019, the passage of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law signaled hope for the sector. The UHC Law strengthened efforts of the Department of Health (DOH) and its attached agencies to provide Filipinos access to quality and cost-effective care. The law was quickly put to the test when the pandemic hit, underscoring the urgent need for more resilient health care in the Philippines.

Against this backdrop, Health4All, a coalition that unites healthcare experts and engaged citizens was formed. Health4All opens inroads for collaboratively designing health outcomes for Filipinos, with a focus on providing underprivileged and underserved communities with support and access to better health decisions and opportunities.
