MARIEL PADILLA Shares Importance of Self Care, Muscles at MARIE FRANCE

A beautiful morning at Marie France Makati had us enjoy a talk about feminine health. With her was Mariel Padilla, as she shares her experience with care and age. 

Dr. Preetha Kkiran of Wonder Axon says "The first thing I want to tell you is to take care of your muscles, consider doing that in your post retirement life. In your early 30's there will be muscle reduction, and you may have to have 3-5% muscle loss. Everything that we see today is talking about muscle and protein, it's like sponge that absorbs glucose. We all want that magic, deep inside, it is directly related to metabolic rate. As we do activities, you consume energy and that comes from somewhere. You have to make a connection with muscle, fats and metabolism. If you give birth, ask your doctor when it is good to start with building muscle. In a generic manner, 6 weeks, 8-12 if c section when our body is healing. Recovery starts slowly, but we have to understand we have to start early. We have pelvic muscle strengthening treatment, it gives you a non invasive lift behind you, who doesn't want that?! It's a big challenge, but with Wonder Axon it helps you get oxygen in cells, blood in it. It helps you regain posture."

Here's Mariel talking about how she managed to pamper herself no matter how busy she is. 

 

She says "No one talks about it but after giving birth, I had no idea it was going to be that way. I didn't have control anymore when going to the loo, when you laugh, cough, sneeze, you have to go to the bathroom and no one told me about it. I learned it was completely normal, I have more control of it now and if I knew about Wonder Axon, I could have made it early. The word for Wonder Axon for me is intense, but not painful. There are parts where I feel I'm strong. I get encouraged because you feel it is working, after it, I felt like I worked out when in fact I was just in Marie France for 25 minutes. My favorite part was in the buttocks and tummy area. The back thighs and arms were challenging. I feel it also released endorphins after the session and really felt it."

Mariel adds "I can relate to your story, with the brain fog, incontinence, we all experience that and we are not alone. You don't have to be afraid because it really does happen. There's something that can help us in Marie France and I'm so happy to be here. Now we women can share what we are going through and not be afraid. It's not just for losing weight, when we have muscles you can eat more."

At the event, we learned that there are 3 technologies used for the procedure, Neuro muscular stimulation (deeper penetration), electro magnetic transmission (comes from fat), and radio frequency (gives enhancement). They said this would also complement the Kiegl exercise. Aside from that, protein and amino acids also are something they encourage you to have (to see what you put on your plate). Include it on your diet, have enough good sleep, have night rituals, because all of that plays an important role.

If you would like to do it, just get in touch with the folks from Marie France and their branches.

Dingdong Dantes and his Dad for Ensure

I'm sure you've watched it several times on TV where the good looking Dingdong Dantes takes hold of his Father's bike and restored it. His Father though, even when extremely happy about that, felt a little helpless as he thinks he couldn't do the things he did when he was much younger. That picture just tells so much about Filipinos nowadays that when they reach the number 50, they think their poor physical condition could hamper fulfilling their dreams. It is known that in order to be in tip top shape, you need nutrition for strength and their own families to support them in order to achieve their goals. The question is, how do they achieve this goal? 

"Loss of strength is a sign of deterioration of health, when the body experiences loss of strength. 8 out 10 complain if they get out of hospitals when they go back home. The loss if lean body mass can be attributed to consuming only 60 percent or less of their nutritional requirements for a day, it makes them at risk for nutritional gaps. They should always ask their doctors to solve this." says Dr. Dimaano from Abbott Nutrition Philippines.

Dingdong says "I had real life experience in helping my father achieve his dreams. I knew back then, I had to do something when my Dad said he's too old to relive his passion for riding bikes. I had to refurbish my Dad's bike and remind him to rebuild energy + fitness, as his son I wanted to have the duty to remind him of his nutrition so he could live his life to the fullest."

Abbot Ensure has a balanced nutrient formula - made of three major nutrients plus 28 vitamins and minerals. It also has high protein content, prebiotics, good for those with lactose intolerance. It's good to have something help the elderly regain or maintain their strength, and drinking it twice a day for 8 weeks can get their muscle strength.
