This shows how relaxed I was after a relaxing massage.

Last weekend, I was able to experience my first massage post-pandemic time. And luckily I got a good Swedish Massage from Amuma Spa of Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort. Now, let me give you some reasons why we need to destress with a good massage.

The Therapists in Amuma Spa are required to wear a light PPE for protection

Then a good tea after massage

We all need a good touch which helps us to manage our stress. And I mean a good massage. According to Maayo Clinic, Massage benefits can include: 

1. Reducing stress and increasing relaxation
2. Reducing pain and muscle soreness and tension
3. Improving circulation, energy, and alertness
4. Lowering heart rate and blood pressure
5. Improving immune function

YES! We need to wear a face mask while having the massage.

Overall, just make sure to be safe always and follow protocols. Wear a mask!!!

Improve Muscle With Dyna Drug, Recogen

Dyna Drug brings Recogen to the Philippines: A food supplement to help improve muscle mass building

For people living an active lifestyle, like runners and triathletes, Recogen is one supplement that can help them keep track of their muscle health and support their daily activities. 

Distributed by Dyna Drug Corporation, Recogen is a nutritional and dietary supplement with bioactive collagen peptides—which plays an important role in joint cartilage regeneration and building muscle mass as well, making it an important component for athletes’ muscle rehabilitation.

Collagen and Muscle Mass Building

While we may be familiar with collagen when it comes to skin care, collagen also play an important role in joint cartilage and muscle regeneration.

Collagen peptide is a chain of amino acids that acts as connective tissue for the skin and bones. It is a type of protein that provides structure to the body’s bones, skin, tendons, and ligaments and is naturally produced by the body to act as chains, connecting different joints in our body and improve skin elasticity. 

Aside from improving skin elasticity and joint health, collagen plays a big role in improving muscle mass. Collagen contains the amino acids proline and glycine which both help in muscle growth, making them an important component of muscle mass.  

Healthy Joints and Muscles Start with Recogen

Recogen keeps you moving with 100% pure Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP) from Germany which helps to repair and regenerate cartilage for strong joints. Bioactive Collagen Peptide is a kind of collagen which is more easily absorbed by the body due to its shorter chains of amino acids. It is hydrolyzed, meaning it’s broken down with water, which makes it easily absorbed by the bloodstream upon digestion. The bioactive collagen peptide in Recogen are smaller to help the body absorb it more quickly and effectively. 

Multiple studies also prove that, when taken with regular exercise, collagen supplements help build more muscle mass versus exercising alone. Since athletes are more physically active, their muscles are more prone to getting worn out at an early age. Taking collagen supplements will help them with joint and muscle pain and in the regeneration and rebuilding of their muscle mass. 

Dyna Drug also has Healthy Options To Support Muscle Building and Healthy Living

Recogen also gives users a boost in energy – it is high in nutrient and amino acids to enhance muscle strength and give you the boost you need to live an active lifestyle. Recogen is also enhanced with two crucial amino acids; glycine and proline. Glycine is an amino acid that helps stimulate muscle growth, while proline is used by the body to produce different proteins, including collagen. 

Recogen prevents the risk of arthritis and other joint related conditions as it aids the regeneration of cartilage.  A joint clinical trial carried out by Harvard Medical School and Tufts Medical Center in 2011 showed that Recogen can improve cartilage tissue in 48 weeks, helping prevent joint conditions such as Osteoarthritis. 

With Recogen’s nutrients and amino acids to keep your muscles and joints healthy, you can live the active and fulfilling life you deserve. It is currently available at the goodwill market for only P2,610.00 (30 sachets).

Coronavirus has been the talk in all social media, online and even offline. Since its outbreak in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, the government of different countries all over the world had their own way of fighting the virus and one of them is social distancing and recommends citizens to stay at home or what we call "Home quarantine." All members of the family are at home. I work from home. Aside from this work, all I think is food and drinks. Do you feel the same? Are you guilty about it? Now, let me share with you my home quarantine workout routine just to ease the guilt and of course, for healthy living.
