I’ll be honest enough to say that this ECQ has not been easy for me and many other moms. In a previous blog post, I shared tips on how to stay positive during quarantine. It is not easy and we struggled a lot. We still are struggling but with the end goal of keeping our immunity strong and our family healthy, the challenges seem to be worth it. Our new normal is one that will probably determine the way we will live forever and I don’t really mind. As we make wellness a new way of life, you can count on Watsons to be with you every step of the way.

Here are a few recommendations from Watsons on keeping your immunity strong and your family healthy.

Tea - great source of antioxidants
We need to make sure our immunity is boosted during these times.  Exercise should be part of your activities as a family.  I've done that a few times and admittedly I should be doing it more often. Exercising literally shakes up things. It makes us happy, it strengthens our immunity and improves the body’s flexibility. If we lose some weight along the way, then that’s a bonus, right?

Healthy foods like vegetables and fruits are the best sources of nutrients.  But, with very limited movements and resources, these aren't always accessible.  But drinking tea could help also as source of antioxidants our bodies need.  I get Nutrabliss by Watsons and drink a cup or two every day.
Multivitamins, Vitamin C, and Supplements 
As a busy mom who sleeps the latest and wakes up early in the morning, sometimes I feel weak and overworked.  Again mommies, sleep is very important in healing our bodies, keeping us alert, and improving our moods.  But for times I lack some sleeping hours, I feel as if I'm going to have flu.  That's why I make sure apart from eating well, my husband and I take multi-vitamins to supplement the amount of nutrients we need each day, which we don't get from food sometimes.  Here are some from Watsons that you may want to also try:

• Watsons Generics Ascorbic Acid which we take every day.  
• Conzace Soft Gel, which is rich in Zinc, Vit. A, C and E to help boost immunity and promotes healthy hair and skin. 
• Myra E 400IU is also rich in Vitamin E that helps fight cell damage. 
• Growee Syrup and Cherifer PGM with Zinc capsules to support height growth and help the body become stronger.
• MET Tathione, NU Essence Collagen and Organique Acai Juice and those that harness the power of natural ingredients such as MX3 capsules and Watsons Generics Malunggay + Mangosteen.  These protect our skin and body from the harmful environmental factors that may cause damage.
