💓 Silent ang hypertension… until it’s not. 😳

This May, let’s normalize checking BP before it checks us. 🩺✨

Less alat 🍜
More galaw 🚶‍♂️
More tubig 💧
Less stress (as much as possible 😅)

Because “okay lang ako” is not a blood pressure reading. 👀

REMINDER‼️

Ngayong hapon po ang unang araw ng ating Operation Tuli. Naway nakapaghanda na ang ating first batch!

See you today!
Kaya nyo yan!

❔❔ Yes po, tumatanggap pa rin po tayo ng pagpapalista para sa tuli. Magtungo lamang po sa RHU Basco para makapili kayo ng araw at oras. Mas mainam if kasama yung bata para ma-assess.

Dios mamajes!

For healthy diets, eat a variety of minimally processed and unprocessed foods to ensure you get enough essential micronutrients while reducing unhealthy fats, sugars and salt.

🥗🫛🍊🥑 Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts and seeds with limited to moderate amounts of animal source foods such as fish, lean meat and dairy.

Aim for:
☑️ Adequacy (enough nutrients),
☑️ Balance (protein, fats and carbs),
☑️ Moderation (less of what harms our health),
☑️ Diversity (different food groups).

Individual needs may vary.

In the human body, C tetani grows in damaged tissue and produces tetanus toxin, which travels to the central nervous system and blocks the release of neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal cord.

Masama ba ang pakiramdam mo pagkatapos bakunahan? That's normal! It's your immune system working.

Hindi ka pinapahina ng bakuna, pinapalakas ka niya for the long run, kahit may konting “hirap” sa umpisa.

Bakuna at proteksyon ni baby, my responsibility 💚

Sa bawat bakuna, mas ligtas si baby laban sa sakit at mas panatag ang buong pamilya. Kumpletuhin ang bakuna at makipag-ugnayan sa inyong health center para sa schedule.
