Just finished studying the latest guidelines on Pediatric Obesity.

Main takeaway:
Hindi ito about “anak, mag-diet ka na.” 😅

It’s about helping the whole family build healthier, realistic, and stigma-free habits

one meal, one walk, one small change at a time.

For your anaks, pamangkins, and teens who need guidance with weight, nutrition, and lifestyle, let’s set a consult. 💚

So, what exactly is Lifestyle Medicine — and why is it more important now than ever?

Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based approach to preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic diseases by addressing their root causes through healthy daily behaviors. It is built on six core pillars: optimal nutrition, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connection.

As chronic diseases continue to rise globally, Lifestyle Medicine empowers individuals, families, workplaces, schools, and communities to take an active role in building healthier lives and healthier environments.

Connection is medicine.

A 2024 World Psychiatry review shows that social connection is strongly linked with mental health, physical health, and longevity. Loneliness and social isolation are not just emotional concerns; they are health risks.

This week, prescribe yourself one meaningful connection:
call a friend, eat with family, walk with someone, or join a supportive community.

Your relationships are part of your health.

Updates!

Alam mo ba na ang mga madalas nating almusal tulad ng longganisa, tocino, at hotdog ay categorized bilang Group 1 Carcinogen ng World Health Organization para sa colorectal cancer?

Ibig sabihin, sapat ang ebidensya na ang regular na pagkain nito ay maaaring magdulot ng colorectal cancer. Tumataas ng hanggang 18% ang iyong cancer risk sa pagkain ng 50 grams ng processed meat araw-araw.

A simple diet change can help protect your colon from cancer.

Just 11 Minutes a Day Can Save Your Life! 🚶‍♂️✨

Ever feel like 150 minutes of exercise a week is a daunting goal? We have some incredible news from a massive study of over 30 million people published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Researchers found that doing just HALF the recommended weekly physical activity (only 75 minutes per week, or about 11 minutes a day) is enough to significantly lower your risk of chronic disease and early death.
Key Findings at just 75 minutes/week:

✅ 23% lower risk of all-cause mortality
✅ 19% lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality
✅ 10% lower risk of cancer mortality
✅ Significant risk reduction for specific cancers, including:
Head and neck
Myeloid leukaemia
Myeloma
Gastric cardia
Lung
Liver
Endometrial
Colon
Breast

The study’s ultimate message? "Doing some physical activity is better than doing none". Every minute counts, and starting small can lead to life-saving benefits.

What will you do for your 11 minutes today? Tell us in the comments! 👇
