Trizie's natural fiber drinks
Raise your hand if you've over-indulged in food deliveries/your favorite snacks/eaten more than what was necessary in a day at least once during quarantine. Yup, we know the feeling! It truly feels that staying fit and maintaining reasonable diets are even bigger challenges for a lot of us now that we're stuck at home most of the time. Fortunately, we spotted this Thailand-made detox product that's a potential answer to some of our fitness woes! Trizie claims to help you get rid of excess gut bulk with its fibrous drinks that do two main things: improve digestion and jumpstart metabolism. Together, that means less belly bloat, feeling less sluggish, and reducing between-meal cravings. The two Trizie varieties claim to target different fitness concerns, so make sure you choose which suits you best! (Trizie Clean is formulated for weight loss, while Trizie Light is best for weight maintenance).

Self-care focused travel
Thailand isn't just introducing detox beverages to a Filipino market, but marketing itself as a haven for self-care in a time when stress levels are at their highest. Now that international travel has resumed (albeit with all the safety protocols in place), our Southeast Asian neighbor invites us to experience the best it as to offer in terms of spiritual, mental, emotional, and even physical rejuvenation. You can plan your next Thailand itinerary around what the country calls "Power Spot Tourism," a.k.a. a travel guide designed to allow you to experience many of the country's locations and landmarks famous for their healing powers. "Power Spot Tourism" highlights places like Doi Inthanon (Thailand's highest peak that attracts trekking enthusiasts), the Kanchanaburi Province (famed for its many national parks open for day and overnight camping), Trat (an unexplored quaint oceanside town beloved by beach lovers), and so many more. In other words, yes; there are so many other beautiful places to see and experience in Thailand other than Bangkok and Phuket.

Workout gear and clothes from Surplus
It really helps to be dressed appropriately for whatever activity you're engaged in, especially when it comes to exercise! While you can always be comfortable in a no-fail cotton T-shirt and soft, stretchy shorts, sweating it out always feels better (and your motivation to exercise is always much improved) when you have the right clothes, accessories, and gear to get you started. If you're new to taking exercising seriously or if you'd like to update your exercise OOTDs with budget-friendly finds (especially since most, if not all, exercise is done at home these days), look no further than the Surplus store that's stocked with everything you need. Sports bras, water canisters, Bluetooth speakers, mats, socks, leggings, all of it - Surplus is where you need to go.

Fitbit updates about Filipinos' exercise habits
We have news for you, good and bad. According to Fitbit's research that compared wellness data from 2019 and 2020 gathered from the Asia-Pacific region, Filipinos saw the most dramatic decrease in steps taken this year (i.e.: we walked the least, no thanks to the country's super strict and prolonged lockdown). The good news is that we've improved our sleeping habits the most! Filipinos now sleep for longer and have been reaping the benefits of the prescribe 6-8 hours of good quality sleep. That, and how there's been an overall increase in stress-relieving activities like yoga and meditation. If you're wondering how you far in terms of all these statistics and what you could be doing to improve what you're doing right (and stop what you're doing wrong), the Fitbit smartwatch is what you need. The top-of-the-line fitness gizmo released its most advanced model just last month, and it has all these cool new features developed to change the way we approach and maintain healthy living in a time like this.

Cheong Kwan Jang, a.k.a. a Korean ginseng superfood
Here's something that Lee Min-ho fans will recognize. The Korean superstar has been seen snacking on a packet of this superfood which is actually a ginseng treat that Koreans have loved for ages and ages or its health-boosting properties - and there are many. No, ginseng is most definitely not just a for older individuals! It's been studied to be beneficial to the younger set, as it helps with immunity, fatigue, blood circulation, and and anti-oxidation activity (i.e.: activity that diminishes the health benefits of antioxidants). In a time when people are extra conscious about what they eat and supplements they consume to best protect themselves from COVID-19, we say, why not? Give Cheong Kwan Jang a try, but when in doubt about its interactions with a current medication regimen you might be on, consult your physician first.
