The HEART of the Family: Taking Responsibility For Your Own Heart Health and Spreading Awareness, Love & Support to the Family

Posted on October 9, 2020October 9, 2020 by The Prudent Mama

The pandemic has impacted us in unexpected ways. It’s effect is far-reaching, not only because of the virus itself but also due to the questions it raises on our overall health and well-being. Among these are vulnerable patients, such as those with hypertension and other chronic conditions. That is why a holistic and proactive approach to managing our health is vital.

Last September 29, the World Heart Day was celebrated to raise awareness on our cardiovascular health and the chronic conditions that can have serious consequences on our health.

As part of its thrust to build a Healthier Philippines under its Panata ng Pamilya campaign and to help shine the spotlight on these serious health concerns that continue to affect Filipino families even amidst the pandemic, Sanofi Philippines, in partnership with BayanihanMD hosted a special World Heart Day session entitled Happy Heart, Happy Home.

Among the issues tackled by the webinar is the impact of hypertension among its patients and the important role of the family in managing this chronic disease.

“It boils down to lifestyle and that starts at home and what we’ve been exposed to when we were growing up. So if you grow up with unhealthy eating habits, you will really increase the risk of developing hypertension,” said Bayanihan host, Dr. Celine Fider.

Moreover, guest speaker and cardiologist, Dr. Anna Adora further stresses that while family history may play a role in developing hypertension, it is, first and foremost, a lifestyle disease.

“We run the risk of developing it from the choices we make. So it’s not hypertension that’s inherited but the unhealthy habits and lifestyle we pick up from our environment, our family,” she explained.

“That’s why the family is so important in managing these chronic diseases. If you have someone in your immediate family and household with hypertension, you and your other family members may also be at risk of developing it. So lifestyle modification must not just come from an individual level, but also for the entire family,” she adds.

Speaking on the partnership between Sanofi Philippines and Bayanihan MD, President and Co-Host Dr. Karl Ablola describes the two organizations’ mutually aligned advocacies.

“One of our objectives in this pandemic is to ensure healthcare access for all patients and that’s why we partnered with Sanofi Philippines,” he intimated. “Through WeHealth, Sanofi partners up with different platforms to bring healthcare to all; which is the same mission that we, at Bayanihan MD, have.”

Avon Educates About Early Detection of Breast Cancer with BOOBwatch

Posted on October 7, 2020 by The Prudent Mama

For over 25 years, Avon has been at the forefront of the fight against cancer— and for 2020, they’re putting everyone on BOOBwatch. Early detection of breast cancer is potentially lifesaving, and this year is all about making sure that every woman knows the signs, risks, and how to take action against breast cancer— starting from regular breast self-checks. Together, we can prevent more women from suffering from this dreaded disease.

This year is quite special for Avon’s efforts for breast cancer awareness with the launch of the Avon Empower Bra, the first-ever mastectomy bra. It’s specially designed with breast cancer survivors in mind. It’s a non-wired nylon microfiber lace bra equipped with soft lining with pockets for prosthesis and cushioned straps for comfort and support. Another unique feature is found in the prosthesis, which is made out of 3D PU foam meant to fit your cup size.

For every pair bought, P50 will be donated to the Philippine Cancer Society, Avon’s longtime partner for their efforts. Through this fruitful partnership, Avon has been able to help many breast cancer patients at the Avon-PGH Breast Cancer Clinic, and Avon hopes to help more in the years to come.

Avon has also released other limited edition products so more people can show their support to the campaign. For every purchase of the Breast Cancer Promise Umbrella and Tote Bag Set and the Evita Watch, P50 will be donated to the Philippine Cancer Society.

Coming from the successful “Project Pink Light Night Run” in 2019, Avon is bringing an ever stronger awareness campaign that a bigger number can enjoy participating in for a great cause. Through these scheduled events, the brand hopes to raise P5M in funds for the Philippine Cancer Society. All events will be streamed live on Avon Philippines’ Facebook Page.
