The Philippine Christmas season is famously long. As soon as the ber months arrive, lights go up, music fills the air, and celebrations begin to take shape. For many families, these gatherings revolve around food, from rich festival dishes to nostalgic hometown specialties. While the season brings warmth and connection, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) continues to remind the public that festive excess can take a toll on overall health. This year, LAC Philippines encourages a more mindful approach to enjoying the holidays, one that celebrates flavor while supporting the body from within.
According to the NNC, mindful eating, moderation, and balanced meals guided by the Pinggang Pinoy model are essential for maintaining good nutrition during the holidays. Overindulgence, particularly in alcohol and rich food, can strain the liver, disrupt digestion, and contribute to unwanted weight gain or other health concerns.
Mindful Indulgence During the Holidays
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, and that includes sharing good food with loved ones. Practicing mindful indulgence helps savor meals, while staying comfortable throughout the season without feeling guilt or discomfort. Simple habits like watching portions, drinking enough water, and keeping the body moving support digestion and steady energy.
To further support Filipinos in enjoying the festivities without compromising their health, LAC Philippines promotes balanced wellness through targeted nutrition. LAC offers scientifically-based supplements that strengthen the body’s natural defenses, promote balance, and support inner wellness during the most indulgent time of the year.
One of these essential supplements is LAC Activated® Liver Protector, which helps defend against fatty liver and supports healthy liver function: a vital need during the holidays when rich dishes and alcohol are common. Formulated with a synergistic blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs such as Sanchi, Red Peony Root, Hawthorn Fruit, Lotus Leaf, and Turmeric (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae), it helps prevent and relieve fatty liver and lower bad blood lipids. It also supports the body’s natural detoxification process and promotes efficient fat and toxin metabolism. For optimal results, take one to two vegicaps twice daily with warm water after meals to keep the liver healthy and efficient in processing fats and toxins throughout the festive period.
For those who experience post-celebration bloating and want to feel lighter after hearty meals, LAC LeanCut® Belli Lean™ offers a delicious and convenient way to support fat metabolism and reduce belly fat. It contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) that are easily converted into energy to support an active lifestyle. Its proprietary blend of Corn Silk, Lemon Balm, Red Vine Leaf, Lotus Leaf, and Eucommia Leaf Extracts helps reduce visceral fat, enhance fat metabolism, relieve water retention, and promote a leaner, lighter midsection. This makes it suitable for individuals with high-fat or high-carb diets, sedentary lifestyles, or those simply aiming to maintain a balanced figure throughout the holidays. Simply take one to three sticks daily on its own or mix with water.
Wellness That Lasts Beyond the Holidays
Celebrating mindfully is not about restriction but about balance. It allows people to enjoy traditions while supporting the body’s overall wellness from within. With the right habits and support from LAC’s wellness essentials, Filipinos can enter the new year feeling lighter, stronger, and more energized.
Because the best celebrations are those that nurture both body and spirit, leaving you ready to welcome the year ahead in your best form.
