Nutrition Camp at San Benito Farm with Nutrilite Vitamins and Minerals

Sunday Jun 1, 2008

Guess where I went for the weekend?

san benito farm

Imagine basking in The Farm at San Benito , the Hippocrates Health Resort of Asia doing work and relaxation at the same time. Yup, I was invited to participate in a nutrition camp sponsored by Nutrilite, the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest and process plants on their own certified organic farms and Geiser-Maclang, Nutrilite’s PR. I was terribly excited. First of all, I love Nutrilite Vitamins. While in a short vacation to the USA in the mid-nineties, my sister introduced me to their top of the line vitamins, the Double X , a finely calibrated balance of 12 vitamins, nine minerals and 21 plant concentrates. I swear by it for the energy and vitality that I got from Nutrilite Double X.

Unfortunately even when Amway opened up its doors in the Philippines in the mid-nineties, the Nutrilite vitamins was not one of their first products. So I lost my supply of Double X.

Now the good news. Nutrilite is in the Philippines and I didn’t even know of its existence. I bet you didn’t know either. The Nutrition Camp was indeed a blessing.

Secondly, it will be my first visit to The Farm. I’ll talk more on this in another entry. For now, let me show you the wonders of being healthy and using the right vitamins and minerals for you and your family. You’ll be in for a surprise.

Everyday Fish Products from Fisher Farms

Monday May 19, 2008

Half an ounce a meat a day; just one big bite– that’s the amount of red meat it takes to apparently double your chances of contracting cancer. Filipinos already know that fish is healthy but kids won’t normally eat fish because of the fishy taste. No matter how they create and re-create fish dishes, kids still won’t eat them. Therefore it is the responsibility of mothers to be creative to let their kids enjoy fish by offering alternative fish products that are palatable for kids.

This you have to try because I tested it on my own kids. The Everyday Fish Processed Products from Fisher Farms.

Everyday Fish Products

The Everyday Fish Ham, bacon, hotdog, luncheon and sausage are made from 100% fish meat and specially formulated that one can’t even discern the fishy taste. Even meat lovers like my children can’t tell it’s fish products.

Friday May 16, 2008

Besides huge statues of Buddah and other Balinese curiosities, Yoki’s Treasures also has the most unusual lettuce farm in the vicinity. They grow hydrophonic lettuce, a method that makes use of coco coir and cooked rice hull as a lettuce bed instead of good old fashioned soil.

Virgin Honey From Ilog Maria HoneyBee Farm

Monday May 12, 2008

I’ve always viewed honey as a baking ingredient or kitchen condiment, and it never occurred to me that this sticky, amber-yellow substance would have many uses beyond food. In fact, real honey contains medicinal and healing properties for a whole range of medical conditions, from athlete’s foot to liver problems.

In Silang, Cavite is a honey farm that produces not just extra virgin honey, but a wide range of honey-based products for all sorts of ailments. As part of the Verdana Gateway Tour, we were lucky to be taken around the facilities of Ilog Maria Honeybee Farms and have front-row seats to their honey production process and see the measures they take to ensure that they come up with nothing less than unfiltered, unprocessed, and unadulterated honey.
