My wife was rushed to the hospital... because of her brassiere

I know that it is unusual for a guy to blog about brassieres but this experience is very important and worth sharing in order to help women avoid the same health concern that my wife had a few months ago.  

It was in early February when Clarice started complaining about chest pain. This would last for 2-3 days then the pain would disappear. After a few weeks, she would experience again the pain in her chest and on her shoulders and there are also instances where she has difficulty breathing.  

Fearing that it is something serious and a possibility of a heart attack, we rushed her to the hospital where she underwent an electrocardiogram (ECG) and some other laboratory tests to find out if her heart is working normally. However, her cardiologist said that all tests are normal. 

Then, her doctor noticed some red marks under her bust line. Her doctor suspected that the chest pains were due to an ill-fitting bra. Then, my wife remembered that, yes it is possible that her brassiere was the culprit of her health concern. The chest pains started about the same time she got the new set of brassieres. She was then asked to stop using these bras and observe if the condition persists.

So, guess what --- no more chest pains! 

We realized that it is very important for women to wear a comfortable bra. Other health effects and risks of wearing the wrong brassiere are: 

1. Skin Problems - these can cause scarring or blisters underneath or along the bust line. 

2. Bad Body Posture - this may consequently lead to back, shoulder and neck pain.

3. Lymph Node Problems - too much pressure from tight-fitting bras can close lymph valves and vessels. 

4. Sagging Breasts - the lack of support spoils the size and shape of the breasts making them heavier that can lead to sagging. 

So, where can you get a comfortable bra but with adequate support?

According to my wife, wireless bras are needed for those who have bigger cup sizes since it requires more support. In her case, she needed to avoid using wired bras thus, she was in a dilemma on where to get some comfortable ones but with adequate support. 

Finally, she found one or let's say I found one for her! 

Last February 15, I got an email from Sample Room PH* and they are introducing Uniqlo Wireless Beauty Bra. Its description in the email got my attention "Beauty Soft Wireless Bra stands out as it has no clips, hooks, wires or stress while retaining its sufficient support." Since it has limited samples available, I immediately grabbed a sample for her.

Uniqlo Wireless Bra holds true to its promise. Here's a message from Clarice after trying the Uniqlo Beauty Soft Wireless Bra. 

Choosing the right bra is not all about looking for fancy ones. Lace, net, and underwires are very tempting but women and men who are getting their ladies some lingerie must keep in mind that it is far more important to choose comfortable ones because women deserve to feel limitless. 

So, if you have more questions about the bra, feel free to message Clarice and not me for obvious reasons (haha!) on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mymetrolifestyle.

Be Limitless with SvelT’i

In this day and age where technology has inevitably become a part of our daily lives, we are subconsciously living limitlessly with almost everything readily available at the tip of our fingers. It has led to so many discoveries, better establishments, and better luxuries and has dramatically changed our daily lives. From the way we communicate to speedy internet connection, from the academe to various industries, and from healthcare to aesthetics. Even in aesthetics and especially in the field of beauty, technology has been a huge driving force behind their huge improvements.  

For the past two years, SvelT’i has been creating sweeping possibilities that unlock the customers’ health and beauty potentials while satisfying their needs and demands. To keep up with the changing times and as a way to say ‘Thank you’ for the customers’ continued trust, SvelT’i now offers a new set of services that aim to further defy the limits that constrict an individual’s health and attractiveness. Starting April, the clinic has been offering the latest techniques in minimally invasive treatments- from botox, dermal fillers, non-surgical nose lifts (HIKO), platelet-rich plasma (vampire facelift), mesotherapy, sclerotherapy, to thread lift.

BOTOX

Botox is a neuromodulator that blocks the signal from the nerve to muscle, preventing the muscles to contract, hence preventing dynamic wrinkles to appear and worsen. When frown, forehead, bunny lines and crow’s feet are smoothened, an overall vitality is observed in the face.

DERMAL FILLERS

Filler injections are used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, shape facial contours and add to volume loss to aging face. It is used to heighten the nose, transform tired looking sunken under eyes to a fresher look, rejuvenate or make the lips plumper, add volume to the cheeks and even augment the chin to make it more proportion to the face.

Filler injection is a lunchtime procedure which gives an instant result.

HIKO

HIKO is a non-surgical noselift procedure that enhances the feature of the nose. It is an extremely popular procedure which gives the nose more definitive structure and lifts the nose tip. This involves inserting threads into the nose bridge and the tip. Combining nose threads and nose fillers will give you long lasting, higher and sharper nose creating the nose you've always wanted with minimal downtime.

 PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) / VAMPIRE FACELIFT

The platelet-rich plasma or vampire facelift includes drawing blood from the patient, separating the platelets then injecting it back into the skin.  The platelets are high in growth factor that helps stimulate the skin to regenerate and aid in cell turnover, making it look youthful and vibrant. This procedure can be done not just on the face but on other aging parts of the body like the neck and hands. It also aids in addressing hair loss or thinning.

MESOTHERAPY

This procedure employs multiple injections of fat-burning products and plant extracts into the subcutaneous fat. It targets localized and stubborn fats that are hard to eliminate even with exercise. This procedure has been performed all over the globe for over fifty years because of its effectiveness. Other indication for the use of mesotherapy aside from weight loss is cellulite.

Mesotherapy combined with SvelT’i's world-class slimming lasers produces faster and superior results.

  

SCLEROTHERAPY

Spider veins that hinder the flaunting of smooth and toned leg scan are treated with sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is used to treat blood vessels like spider veins and smaller varicose veins. A sclerosing solution is injected into the unwanted veins which causes them to shrink and dissolve over a period of weeks as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein. Sclerotherapy in combination with SvelT’i's Laser Vein treatment makes a recurrence of unsightly veins less likely.

THREAD LIFTING

Thread lifting is a popular, non-invasive procedure that aims to reduce deep lines, facial folds, and sagging in the most natural way. These treatments are used mainly on the face but can also be applied on the neck and other body areas. SvelT’i is offering two types of thread lifting: V lift and Beauty thread.

These procedures can stimulate the production of collagen the protein which gives our skin the youthful glow, causing tightness in the area. All types of threads tighten the surrounding tissues and increase blood supply resulting in a healthier and tighter looking skin making you look five to ten years younger. Now, who would’ve thought that a nonsurgical thread lift can give youthful longevity?

These minimally invasive treatments together with the existing noninvasive procedures of SvelT’i assures the client that he or she can be transformed into a younger and better-looking person with no surgery and minimal downtime. And with this kind of technology, it’s absolutely possible to take a few years off the face with lesser expense and pain, unlike surgery.

Living limitless begins with a choice and everyone has that choice. The choice to live a life without bounds. The choice to be a better and beautiful you! With all these new offerings from SvelT’i, there are no restrictions, no stopping points, and nothing will hold a person back from making herself feel well and look beautiful.

The Natural Way to Feel More Empowered As a Woman

Gone are the days when the "male chauvinist" society had women as far inferior as men—very dependent and submissive to whatever the latter commanded. Women today are not just regarded as homemakers, but nation-builders as well. Beyond the confines of their houses, they, too, can make a big difference––be it in the economic, social or political arena. 

From being a household queen to boardroom’s rockstar, women run on very hectic and active schedules everyday. So imagine the strength they have to withstand the daily grinds, not to mention the stress and pressure they have to endure just to fulfill the duties bestowed upon them.

Nevertheless, they’re no “Wonder Woman” at all, nor our very own heroine “Darna” so as not to feel exhausted and tired from chores or work. They’re also humans, who need to pause for a break from being the jack-of-all-trades. 

This March—declared as International Women’s Month—is the best time to celebrate their power and influence with the gift of beauty and wellness that they truly deserve. What a better way to have it than a rosy, bouncy and shiny hair to begin with.

Because it is the mane that a person is mainly looked upon, it’s a conscious effort for everyone, especially women, to make it pleasant to gaze at. So a regular bottled shampoo and conditioner, plus treatment are, more often than not, the solutions to turn to, regardless of the bad effects they may cause.

Some of the harmful chemicals they contain are too much to handle, especially by as fragile as a hair follicle. Their main damage being mane breakage is hard to manage. Tricky it is to treat the resulting tress that’s less weak and elastic. Though negligible, other repercussions—allergic reaction and scalp irritation—also need keen attention and urgent solution. 

Where else do women usually turn to for remedy than a beauty salon. After a pampering sesh, they may opt to avail any of their formulated solution for upkeep. For optimum results, it’s best to combine it with NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack to promote robust locks and scalp.

NOVUHAIR is the only tress growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help remedy mane problems from growth to vanishing. It deeply penetrates to help rejuvenate, nourish, maintain moisture in the scalp and hair, and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s an effective and safe solution to arrest hair loss. 

So come and celebrate womanhood at your favorite salon anytime this month. Much better if you can make it regularly to bond with your sisters or besties over a hair spa or treatment. After all, your crowning glory deserves a second look.

For Safety, Wear Proper Motorcycle Gear

There are both men and women bikers, but men bikers outnumbered women bikers. When it comes to shopping for motorcycle gear, there not many choices for the women to choose from. But for the men, they can easily find something that they like at the store, pick it up and try it on. If it fits and the quality is acceptable, they pay for it, and the shopping is complete!

Women bikers, whether they are riders or passenger, have to understand that shopping for motorcycle gear is not the same as shopping for their clothing. Whether one is the rider or the passenger, both must understand about taking safety precaution and to put on motorcycle safety gear whenever they get on a bike. Both must understand the consequences of falling off the motorcycle without wearing proper motorcycle apparel.

When it comes to shopping for proper motorcycle apparel, women bikers have to understand that safety must come first. Wearing the size that fits without restricting the necessary movement is important. Choosing and wearing motorcycle gear is first and foremost about safety protection and proper fit, and not so much about looking good.

When we shop for women’s motorcycle jackets, it is different from trying on clothes in front of a mirror. We must understand that motorcycle jackets are designed to fit and perform best when seated on a bike, not standing beside one. Motorcycle jackets are meant to fit snugly at the chest and loose across the shoulder so that when the arms reach out for the handlebars, all will fit properly. The jacket sleeves should also be longer than usual.

There are different types of motorcycle riding jackets. Most are designed to work in more than one season. These jackets have removable liners and strategically placed ventilation for more airflow. There are also waterproof jackets with covered or sealed zippers to keep the bikers dry. Some jackets may have straps on the sleeves to help keep armour in place.

Good quality motorcycle safety apparel is designed for protection against impact and abrasion resistance. The apparel should accommodate armour to be crashworthy. The apparel should be made of high-quality materials that are abrasion resistance e.g. leather and should be stitched with a material that won’t give way to impact.

Motorcycle pants should run slightly long so that the knee armour slides perfectly into place when your feet are on the pegs. Some pants have the ability to adjust your knee armour up or down depending on how tall you are. Choose riding gloves with a pre-curved fit so they feel comfortable when gripping the bar. Riding boots should limit your foot from excessive forward or backward movement.

Find Out Why Chemical-based Products for Hair Loss Might Not Work For You

A good friend of mine is one of many people who is having concerns about hair loss. At the age of 28, Mark (not his real name) is experiencing receding hairline (almost half of his head.) As desperate as he is, Mark had to do something ASAP. 

Just like my friend Mark, when you’re losing tufts of hair or seeing bald patches on your scalp, it’s but natural to feel the need to do something about it.

Will you tell a friend or go immediately to a doctor? Will you hide the “shame” under the guise of a wig? While it’s quite hard to decide, there’s no way but people still find themselves falling in line over-the-counter (O.T.C.). And what’s on their hands? Chemical-based hair loss products. Here are some of the reasons why they impulsively buy these items:

a.)   They claim to be effective.

b.)   They say the healing effects are felt quickly.

c.)   They are widely available.

d.)   They appear to be cheaper.

e.)   They claim to be safe.

Sounds tempting, though, be wary enough that once you delve into the nitty-gritty of these products available to allegedly promote hair growth, you’ll see why they may not exactly be a perfect fit. These are some of the negative possibilities when you use chemical treatments:

1.    Serious side effects like tightness in the chest, difficulty in breathing, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and swelling of the hands and feet. These are actually some of the possible side effects of the hair loss drug Minoxidil, which is said to cease hair loss and promote hair growth.

2.    Most chemical products say they can “treat” alopecia, but reading the fine print will lead you to discover that it actually just slows the progress of hair loss. Little is said as well about these chemical treatments actually promoting hair growth.

3.    These products or “treatments” usually contain a variety of chemicals that may or may not cause allergic reactions. It pays to check the labels. Some chemical-based products may actually be presenting the side effects as the main effects. Let the internet help you with your personal research.

There may be safer and effective alternatives out there, but NOVUHAIR is a stand out from the rest. It has 19 natural ingredients—standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and co-factor nutrients that work in synergy and has been clinically proven to help stop the progression of hair loss, aid in stimulating hair growth and reduce excessive hair shedding.

 NOVUHAIR is available in the Philippines at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide, Seafood City supermarkets and other Filipino/Asian stores in the USA and online at www.novuhair.us and at BeeOrganic in Kuwait. International online orders are also possible through regaloservice.com. For more information, you may visit www.novuhair.com or contact hotlines 4136570 and 09228830575.

Never Lose a Strand of Your Patience

Have you ever experienced a day wherein nothing seems to go well, that no matter how you try to choose the right path, you keep making the wrong turn?  Today is one of those days. Early this morning we left for Cebu via the San Carlos - Toledo route. We had prebooked tickets and arrived at the port 2 hours ahead of our departure thinking our trip is going to be smooth. However, when we parked our car and left for boarding, we were suddenly informed that we are no longer allowed to leave our car at the San Carlos Port. (Boom!) What are we going to do with our car?! We can't just leave it anywhere unsafe. It is was one of the most stressful 10 minutes of my life... 

I realized that life can be challenging at times but there will always be a way to resolve these challenges and come out victorious. Having this in mind will be easy to keep your patience and continue to move forward.

Just like losing strands of your hair due to factors beyond your control, you too can do something.

·   Eat healthy – Eating the right food can alter your mood. Having low-level of folic acid in your body can cause anxiety, hence, food such as asparagus, avocado, salmon, and almond are recommended to fight stress hormones.

·   Stay calm – Listen to comforting music and reading feel-good stories can help switch you to a calm mood.

·   Exercise – Exercise releases endorphin that can relieve you from stress and anxiety.

·   Supplement –Taking in Vitamins such as B-complex can alter mood swings.

Don’t let your stress factors contribute to your hair loss. Letting yourself succumb to anxiety will definitely show up to your follicles and this can lead to more hair loss.

Hectic schedules and pressure from work, not to mention the pollution and filth outside easily make you feel unease and, at times, irritable. Slow down a bit, have fun and relax. There’s no better way to begin with your mane.

Tip 1:  The stroke of a comb can give you a soothing feeling while, at the same time, help unleash the natural oil of your hair.

Tip 2:  Stay away from getting pigtails, hair weaves, braids and tight hair rollers, which can pull and stress your hair.

Tip 3: Avoid perming, straightening or coloring because they contain toxic chemicals that could cause damage to your locks.

Tip 4: Choose natural. Use NOVUHAIR topical solution. Apply liberal amount on to your scalp and hair. Massage it gently for -10 minutes to help permeate deeply from root to tip. NOVUHAIR is packed with 19 natural ingredients that help promote growth, nourishment and rejuvenation of your tress.

NOVUHAIR is available at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide. For more information, please contact hotlines 4136570 and 09228830575 from Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm or visit www.novuhair.com

Why Should You Start Using Infrared Sauna?

Let's face it - people are so busy and living a fast-paced life that for some, it is a jungle out there! The daily grind is just too stressful. 

The good news is we can still live a happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling life with just a bit of ingenuity and inside information. One of the best-kept secrets for overall health maintenance out there today is the consistent use of an infrared sauna.

An infrared sauna is considered to be a dry sauna which produces heat through electromagnetic radiation heaters, either combination carbon and ceramic, or one of each, that range in temperature from 120 degrees F to 157 degrees F. These saunas heat the air surrounding the person, thus raising the core body temperature resulting in the many health benefits associated with infrared heat. It is a comfortable heat resulting in many health benefits when used consistently. 

Infrared therapy is beneficial to both your mind, body, and spirit. There are multiple advantages of a daily session in an infrared sauna. Those using infrared swear they could not live without their daily routine as it helps to maintain overall excellent health, reduces and controls stress and allows for a peaceful nights rest. When you are healthy, not stressed and sleep well you enjoy an agreeable attitude and a great outlook on life.

Some of the many health benefits while using an infrared sauna are specific. For instance not only does infrared sauna therapy relieve pain, on most levels, it aids in overall outward skin health and appearance. The ability of infrared to detoxify the entire body by simulating a ‘false’ fever also assists in a passive exercise which helps in maintaining a healthy body mass. Infrared heat boosts positive feelings, greatly reduces stress and encourages an extremely favorable mental outlook and attitude. 

The heat from infrared saunas relieves pain in the body's joints and muscles. Infrared heat expands blood vessels promoting superior circulation. This improved circulation carries supplemental oxygen to over-worked or injured areas and it also reduces pain even as it accelerates healing. Infrared heat causes productive perspiration and is the avenue toxins use for release from your body. Sweat expels dirt, toxins, and chemicals which aid in purifying your pores and removing dead skin cells from your body. Daily use truly results in an improved complexion along with much softer and glowing skin.

Infrared saunas also stimulate the body’s natural mechanism that fights infection and viruses. It does this by raising core body temperature, inducing a ‘false’ fever; an artificial state of fever. When this occurs, it stimulates the infection-fighting benefits of a true fever by heating the body all done without an actual fever or feeling ill. Also due to the increased circulation and oxygenation of healthy blood the body's heart rate increases and the heart is stimulated and metabolism is energized as if you have taken a brisk walk. Add to that, as blood vessels expand and circulation improves, there is the additional benefit of lowering the body’s blood pressure. The body regulates it’s temperature through this process while purging excess toxins found in the fat cells, surplus fat, salt and additional water. This can lead to a reduction in weight over a period of time.

Sweating, while in an infrared sauna, is our body’s prime way of discharging the many toxins bombarding it on a daily basis. What we eat, drink, breathe and absorb is expelled through this intense perspiration. It is one of the natural ways to purge impurities such as heavy metals, toxic food, bad air and other controlled substances such as alcohol, nicotine and even prescription medications. Also, the warm, gentle heat within an infrared sauna gently relaxes muscles, tendons and joints releasing stress from an overworked mind. When stress is lessened overall health greatly improves. Infrared heat is one of the most natural ways to enjoy relief from stress. Sleep tremendously improves and resulting in a better attitude and a more positive outlook on life. 

For optimum results, don't forget to combine your time in the sauna with meditation. You can use your own routine or an app such as Headspace. It offers a great ten minute guided meditation. The many benefits of infrared sauna therapy are empirical. From stress relief to detoxification, weight loss, and pain reduction, consistent use of infrared heat pretty much guarantees positive results. Let this be the new secret weapon against stress and illness and find the work and life balance that you deserve.
