Maging Ligtas at Malusog ngayong Semana Santa

Sa paggunita ng Semana Santa, huwag kalimutang pangalagaan ang ating kalusugan at kaligtasan. Iwasan ang heat stroke sa pamamagitan ng pag-iwas sa matinding init, uminom ng sapat na tubig, at mag-ingat sa mga karaniwang sakit. Panatilihin ang kalinisan, maging alerto sa biyahe, at piliin ang ligtas na paraan ng paggunita ng tradisyon.

Gawin nating makabuluhan ang Semana Santa hindi lang sa pananampalataya, kundi pati sa pangangalaga sa kalusugan. 💚

💙Do Your Part, B Water Smart! 💙

March is Drowning Prevention Month –paalala na responsibilidad ng lahat ang kaligtasan mula sa pagkalunod.

Masayang mag-bonding sa dagat o swimming pool kasama ang pamilya, ngunit dapat laging unahin ang kaligtasan. Gawin ang 5 B’s upang makaiwas sa pagkalunod:

🟠 Bantay – Bantayan palagi ang mga batang lumalangoy.
🟠 Bida Salbabida – Gumamit ng life vest o tamang flotation device.
🟠 Bawal ang Alak – Huwag uminom ng alak kapag lalangoy.
🟠 Barrier – Takpan ang mga drum at balon. Maglagay ng harang kung malapit sa anumang anyong tubig ang inyong tahanan.
🟠 Bystander Intervention – Unahin ang sariling kaligtasan. Huwag basta tumalon sa tubig—mag-abot ng salbabida o anumang maaaring pangligtas at humingi ng tulong.

🛟Sama-sama nating panatilihing ligtas ang ating pamilya sa loob at paligid ng tubig.🛟

Maging maingat. Maging handa. B Water Smart!🌊

Hey, sis. Kumusta ang energy mo? Madalas bang pagod, nahihilo, o namumutla? These may be signs of iron deficiency anemia.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains one of the most common nutritional problems among women. When the body lacks iron, it cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen. As a result, everyday tasks feel more difficult. Productivity drops. Immunity weakens. Overall well-being declines.

Women ages 15 to 49 face a higher risk, especially during menstruation and pregnancy. Regular blood loss increases iron needs. Without adequate intake, deficiency develops over time.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗗𝗔 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗛𝗼𝘄?
• Eat iron-rich foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, liver, red meat, and iron-fortified food products
• Take iron and folic acid supplements as recommended
• Go for regular health check-ups and hemoglobin level screening

Don’t wait for the symptoms before taking action. Start now. Stay consistent, even when you feel fine.

One simple daily habit can help Aida and every woman, stay strong, productive, and anemia-free 💜
