Energize Your Body While You Work—Here's How!

Way before the pandemic happened, a lot of us have been guilty of sitting too long within the day, not taking breaks to walk or simply stretch. One of the side effects of the pandemic is having to be at home, working long hours on the desk, bed, or sofa, further making all this inactivity a bigger problem. If you've gone back to the office, the same concern is still around—we simply forget to move more. 

All the sitting we do can take a toll on our bodies. It can cause aches and pains, can make us feel weak, and can zap the energy out of us. In an effort to stay on top of our wellbeing especially after the pandemic, we're prioritizing practices that ensure our bodies are in tip-top shape. This includes observing a healthy diet, getting proper sleep, getting enough sunshine, exercising, and investing in products that promote a healthier lifestyle.  

And speaking of products, there's one particular essential we can't stop raving about. It's an easy addition to any house, car, or office, and promises a list of benefits for the body. We're talking about the Ogawa Mobile Seat XE Mini—a massage seat that levels up your sitting game with comfort and massage. With thermotherapy, it features heated rollers to elevate the comfort level of your massage experience.

It gives that extra energy boost you need for prolonged working hours and allows you to relieve neck, shoulders and lumbar pain while re-energizing the whole body. The massage seat has enhanced silicone rollers for a more comfortable and comprehensive massage experience, and is made with sweat-free material to help prevent sweat absorption. Not sure where to place it? It's easily transferable from either a desk chair, your sofa, or your car seat—wherever you need an energy boost!

In December of last year, a category 5 hurricane locally known as Odette made landfall in parts of Visayas, bringing with it torrential rains and violent winds. It quickly became one of the costliest and most devastating typhoons in the country, incurring ₱51.8 billion in damages, right after 2013’s Typhoon Yolanda.

As a response to the catastrophe brought about by Odette, the ABS-CBN Foundation immediately went to work, raising funds and money through various means. ABS-CBN also started the Isang Daan Sa Pagtutulungan campaign last January.

A 100-day fundraiser with activities led by Kapamilya programs, artists, and other personalities to help ABS-CBN Foundation’s Operation Odette, the fundraiser made some strides, but there are still families who need assistance, especially those whose homes were destroyed by the typhoon. With no homes to return to, a lot of them still live in evacuation centers.

To further raise funds for home repair kits, Metro, in partnership with Vantage, Inc., is holding the Metro Benefit Sale, a fundraising event for ABS-CBN Foundation’s Operation Odette. The initiative comprises of 8 days of online shopping for a cause, where exclusive and limited offers from a curated list of products, services, and experiences from partner brands will be available.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to ABS-CBN Foundation’s Operation Odette in order to help rebuild and give back to those in need. The funds raised will be used to generate and distribute the home repair kits which include 8 pcs GI Sheet 12 Ft., 6 pcs Plywood .5 Thickness, 2 plain Sheet 4x8, 1 Kilo Roofing Nail, and 1 Kilo Ordinary Nail (2 inches).

Love giving? Here's a good reason to shop: the Metro Benefit Sale, where Vantage Inc. and participating brands come together for a fundraising event for Operation Odette. Every purchase counts as 100% of the proceeds will be donated to ABS-CBN Foundation's relief efforts for Typhoon Odette. Be part of the 8-day sale that will help provide home repair kits to the families affected by the typhoon.
