Intravenous Nutrition and other benefits to Glutathione

During my last visit with Doc Yanee I asked about IV therapy and how I can start taking better care of myself. One of her first recommendations was for me to consider Glutathione injections and a Vitamin drip which is a combination of Glutathione, vitamin c, B complex, and ALA (alpha lipoic acid).

Self care involves many things. For me it’s having time to exercise. To enjoy healthy food. To take care of my skin. Have regular check ups. To enjoying a spa treatment, and now I’m adding IV Nutrition to my regimen from @aestheticscienceclinic. This vitamin cocktail includes Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Glutathione giving me an extra boost and kick of help for my immunity since I have been feeling tired, run down, and just not well. It was the perfect way to start this week of rest and meditation for myself, so I can take better care of my family. With all the controversy now about Glutathione, I really did some research on the health benefits of this supplement. Will be writing about this and more very soon at www.mommanmanila.com. • • • • #beauty #fromtheinsideout #IVNutrition #aestheticclinic #beautybyas #health #healthiswealth #workingmom #onthego #supplements #vitamins #makati #beautiful #bestoftheday

Admittedly, I have been burning the candle at both ends. I have been swamped with work for Best Buddies Philippines, Sabrina and I have taken on more work for Mothers Who Brunch, and not having a nanny to help with Gelli, has limited the amount of work I can do, even when I’m home. It’s also part of the reason why I have not been able to write here on the website, as much as I would like, too.

For this treatment, it’s important to set aside at least one hour of your day so you can relax while you are being infused.

I have this long story about glutathione that had me fighting with my agent along time ago, when I felt that she misrepresented me as a talent. Truth is, I have never considered taking glutathione as a supplement for any kind of health benefits. It was always my understanding that people took “GLUTA” here in the Philippines to make your skin lighter than it actually is.

In fact, there was even a big marketing debacle (or NOT depending on how you look at it) regarding another “gluta brand,” where they touched a nerve with so many Filipinos because they shed some light on the difference between light and dark that are seen not just in advertising here in the Philippines but all over the world. It brought up a discussion that many people have strong opinions about, and the internet was ablaze with judgement and harsh words for both the company and the marketing team for bringing to light, what I know is a concern for many.

Shucks, admittedly, I have even looked into underarm whitening because I know its a more attractive option for me when wearing a swimsuit or sleeveless tops. (That’s another story for another post.)

I’ll definitely continue with this Diode Laser Hair removal, because Doc Ellie informed me that we should start with this before considering any type of underarm whitening treatment.

 

So, all of this discussion came to a head for me when I finally decided to try some of the options when it came to Intravenous Nutrition at Aesthetic Science Clinic. It has taken me so long to commit to this treatment even after I attended the launch of these services almost a year ago.

I wanted to learn all I could about glutathione and the benefits to using this supplement to add to my overall health and wellness. Obviously, I wasn’t interested in the whitening properties that come along with incorporating gluta into my health care regimen, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn’t shunning this powerful antioxidant that is already found in our bodies, for the wrong reasons.

Everything Glutathione is…

  • You can get Glutathione from a healthy diet of cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and radishes.
  • Glutathione helps prevent damage done to cells on a daily basis.
  • It has anti-aging properties.
  • It helps detoxify chemicals that are processed through our bodies which we are subjected to daily.
  • Glutathione is depleted over time with age, when your stressed, when your diet suffers and is sugar heavy, when you are exposed to a lot of pollution, and if you’re immune system is compromised.
  • Basically, it slows down damage at a cellular level.

Why would someone incorporate Glutathione into their healthcare regimen?

  • It can be used to for:
  1. Cataracts & Glaucoma
  2. Asthma
  3. Cancer, Heart Disease, High Cholesterol, Fatty Liver, and Hepatitis
  4. Memory Loss, Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, and Autism (AUTISM!! I will look into this a little bit more.)
  5. Psoriasis
  6. Inflammation

Other Benefits include:

  • It can help your body from becoming resistant to drugs.
  • It can promote mental clarity and an increase in energy.
  • It can improve quality of sleep and combat stress from sleep apnea.
  • And it is the ultimate detoxifier and fights oxidative stress.

Kill two birds with one stone? Schedule your facial and cleaning at the same time as your drip. MULTI-tasking at its finest!

What I really learned through all of this research, is that skin whitening side effect happens when one “overdoses” on this supplement. So, if it was someone’s goal to lighten the color of their skin, they would have to take an upwards of 1,000 milligrams daily to achieve this goal. Which also means that my supplemental intravenous therapy of 1,000 milligrams  that I would like to enjoy once a week, will not run me the risk of lightening my skin. 

HOORAY!!! 

I am certainly reassured that I can take full advantage of the health benefits of this peptide which is naturally produced in our livers, in a way that is healthy and productive without trying to whiten the color of my skin!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
