Metro Wellness Round Up Sept 2025

<div><strong>Payapa Spa Finds Its New Home in the South</strong></div><p>A new wellness haven has just arrived in BF Homes, Paranaque. Meet <a href="https://www.instagram.com/payapa.spa/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PAYAPA Spa</strong></a><strong></strong>, which in English literally means &quot;peace&quot; spa. Who doesn&#x27;t need a little more peace in their lives? We know we do. When we found out about the new spa in the neighborhood, we immediately tried their massages and visited their aesthetically pleasing interiors. Located in a quiet street at the end of President&#x27;s Avenue in BF Homes, Payapa Spa stands tall with three storeys. The exterior is a minimalist building, with an interior that&#x27;s decked out in wooden accents, plants, and relaxing details. </p><p>Upon arrival, we got to choose our treatment and drink a glass of pandan iced tea to get settled down. We then changed into slippers and got led to our massage rooms—complete with all the relaxation tools needed for a rejuvenating time. On the massage bed was a pair of headphones that guided us to a relaxing breathwork exercise, and soon after, the massage began. My favorite part of the massage was when a jade eye mask was placed on my face, as it helped relax my eyes and gave off a cooling sensation. Right after the massage, we were given soothing ginger tea and <em>kakanin </em>(sticky rice)<em><strong></strong> </em>to cap off the treatment. From all the treatments on the list, I recommend the &quot;Ginhawa&quot; Office Syndrome premium massage, which focuses on the stiff parts of the back, shoulders, hips, and legs. <em>Follow Payapa Spa on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/payapa.spa/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@payapa.spa</a> and contact (0917) 1886476 to book an appointment at the BF Homes branch.</em></p><div><strong></strong><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOIxhcQks1e/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A8478445.599999994%2C%22ls%22%3A24585.59999999404%2C%22le%22%3A24967.79999999702%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1171" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Onelife Introduces Grippies</strong></div><p>From being the standard of physiopilates to now also being your go-to lifestyle staple, Onelife drops its most exciting news yet: a grip sock line called Grippies!

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, accounts for 60 to 70% of these cases.</p><p>In the Philippines, the burden extends beyond patients to entire families, as care remains largely home-based due to limited formal services. This is especially challenging for women, who not only face higher rates of disability and mortality but also shoulder most caregiving duties.</p><p>A proposed measure in the House of Representatives — the Philippine Dementia and Alzheimer Care Policy (House Bill No. 185) — seeks to change this by establishing a national program for early detection, treatment, and support for patients and caregivers. As the bill advances in Congress and World Alzheimer’s Day approaches this September, LAC Philippines highlights the urgent need for accessible brain health solutions that help protect cognitive function and preserve quality of life.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759149249606LAC Neuro Protect.jpeg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">LAC Neuro Protect</span></span></span>Understanding the need for effective brain health support, LAC Philippines offers LAC Neuro Protect, a premium supplement formulated with high-quality plasmalogens derived from Hokkaido scallops. These plasmalogens were chosen for their close similarity to human brain phospholipids, which are crucial for nerve transmission and cognitive function. </div><p>They are also rich in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), two essential omega-3 fatty acids that help protect brain cells from oxidative damage and reduce fatigue. By replenishing plasmalogen levels, LAC Neuro Protect supports healthy nerve cell regeneration, helps combat mental fatigue from prolonged stress, and aids in improving memory and concentration.</p><p>Other key benefits of LAC Neuro Protect include sharper thinking, improved mood, enhanced reflexes, and sustained cognitive performance with age. Designed for everyday convenience, it only requires one capsule daily, taken anytime. However, individuals with seafood allergies should consult a doctor before use, and it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
