Vitamin Zzz: How Sleep Improves your Eye Health

Vitamin Zzz: How Sleep Improves your Eye Health

It’s no secret that sleeping has a lot of benefits to the body but did you know that having less of the intended amount of sleep might also require you to visit an eyeglass shop in the Philippines if you go too long being sleep deprived.


In general, a good amount of sleep keeps your body functioning properly. It helps in repairing and relaxing your body, important in cleaning out cerebrospinal fluid, necessary for synthesizing important nutrients, and is a very important factor in the production and regulation of natural hormones.


The bare minimum hours of sleep are 5 hours to keep your eyes healthy and moist. 6-8 hours is what is recommended for optimum eye recuperation. Direct effect of not getting enough sleep is the buildup of black rings around the eyes. Some may also experience dryness and irritation mainly because the eyes failed to build up the moisture it needs while we sleep. If the eyes experience immense stress and do not get enough rest afterwards, blood vessels may pops and leave the eyes looking bloodshot. It is also possible to experience twitching; while this in itself is not a big cause of concern to go to an eyeglass shop in the Philippines, it could potentially be uncomfortable and could last for a couple of days up to weeks.

Indirectly, sleep might still affect eyesight by making your body more prone to diseases like diabetes. Like we previously mentions, sleeping is important for your body to regulate hormones. It was observed that sleep deprived mice had elevated blood glucose and liver triglyceride levels which stops them from processing insulin correctly; this same phenomenon is suspected to be a risk factor in type II diabetes in humans. Diabetes is a debilitating disease that hosts may problems for the eyes like blurred vision, cataracts, and glaucoma. While you can visit an eyeglasses shop in the Philippines to correct blurred vision, you will need to see an eye specialist, or maybe even a surgeon to address cataracts and glaucoma. 


If you want to sleep better, one method is to make sure that you always stay away from your phone and as much artificial light sources as you can 1 hour before you sleep. Not only does blue light strain your eyes, it also signals the rest of your body to be in “wake up mode”.

Here comes the rain along with our hectic work schedule and worsening traffic. We seem to be pretty busier this season and maintaining a full-face makeup proves to be more challenging!

What are we talking about are creamy, long-lasting and handy makeup sticks! The precise and controlled application that cosmetic pencils offer lets you have a full-face makeup in just a few swipes!

1. Fashion 21 Perfect Stick with Tea-Tree Oil (Price: Php195)


When liquid foundations are subjected to sweat or rain, they tend to be oily and wash off over time. Meanwhile, using powder foundations is difficult especially when you’re not a pro. It’s harder to achieve sheer coverage so you frequently end up with a cakey appearance. Luckily, the creamy formula of Fashion 21 Perfect Stick with Tea-Tree Oil blends perfectly to the skin and is ready to help you get that full coverage, natural look and long-lasting effect. Plus, it has tea-tree oil that effectively covers pimples, acne and other blemishes. No need for concealers! Not to mention that it also protects you from harmful UV rays with its SPF50+!

It is retractable and adjusts on how long and sharp you want it to be. Plus, it comes with a brush on the opposite end for blending purposes.




3. Happy Skin Eyeshadow Stick (Price: Php399)


If you’re a fan of warm eyeshadow shades such as peach, orange and gold, you will love the hue of the Happy Skin Eyeshadow Stick! What’s great about its crease-proof formula is that it doesn’t weigh down the eyelids, gives a full eyelid coverage and lasts long. Unlike traditional eyeshadow powders, it promises a smooth application and blends on the eyelids without the trace of chalkiness. It can be your best makeup buddy the first time you use it!





4. Careline Multi Sticks (Price: Php205)


When deadlines pile up, stress shows in our faces. Eliminate the haggardness with a strobe of Careline Multi Sticks (Rose Blush). It instantly adds a rosy glow and eliminates paleness. When applied, it quickly melts on the skin and makes the cheeks appear perky. Plus, it has a powder-finish that gives off a weightless feel. Say goodbye to the stickiness of tints and liquids, and feel fresh and beautiful despite nerve-wracking tasks!

The brand also has six colors to help you easily match with your skin tone.



Don’t be sad if you can’t have eyebrow embroidery, lip coloring, and water shine covered BB glow treatment for now. These products around stores in the Philippines can give you the look just right! Try them now!



4 Reasons Why You Should Invest on a Health Insurance Plan This Holiday Season

Since it’s the season for giving, here’s one gift that you should give yourself: good health. It’s a great opportunity to browse on a series of HMO companies in the Philippines and invest on a health plan as a gift not only for yourself but for your loved ones as well. Here are some reasons why you should avail your health insurance as early as today:

Low premium

Just like any other kind of insurance, if you start out early, you will have lower premiums. What is a premium? Simply put, it’s the amount of money that an individual or business pays for an insurance policy. When you avail, one thing that you should consider is the waiting period. This protects members of the fund by ensuring that individuals aren't able to make a large claim shortly after joining and then cancelling their membership. Did you know that individuals above 60 years old have a longer waiting period? No better time to invest than now, right?


While You’re Still Able

When you start now, while you still have good health, you have less health complications. This way, your chances of your health insurance policy getting rejected are slim. Don’t wait to get sick or injured before getting health insurance because it would be close to, if not, impossible. Why? Because the health costs are just too high. Think of it as an early Christmas present for yourself, your present family, and your future young ones.


It’s an investment

Choosing the right HMO company here in the Philippines is choosing the right investment for your health. HMOs in the Philippines have a major role to play in organizing the health sector. These are institutions that administer managed healthcare for individuals/companies who are looking for self-financed health care plans. If you want to make the most of what you invested in, trust only the best. 



More options

Speaking of trusted HMO companies, opt for the one that has plenty of options. And by options, I mean customizable features. Compare what each company has to offer. Make sure that the inclusions fit your budget and lifestyle. Do you plan to include your family? How about the emergency & preventive care benefits? Take these into consideration before settling for a plan.

Share the love this Holiday season. Start with investing in an HMO company here in the Philippines and give and receive the best gift ever!
