Making Your Christmas Travel Safe and Secured

Like many traditional holidays, Christmas will be completely different this year as Filipinos brace for a non-traditional celebration since mass gatherings and parties remain restricted due to the pandemic. 

As quarantine guidelines loosen, on the other hand, people can now visit malls, restaurants, and shops if they abide by specific safety protocols to prevent the further spreading of the virus.  

With travel still possible for Filipinos, Prestone Philippines, the leading manufacturer of cutting-edge coolants and brake fluids in the country, reminds motorists of the importance of keeping their vehicles in good shape to have safe journeys this holiday season.

Scared of Holiday Weight Gain? Drink Coffee, study says

Christmas Season is here! And, for sure, some might be worried about gaining some pounds. After all, despite the pandemic, this season of merriment means eating and drinking more than the usual at all the parties and gatherings you will throw or attend—may it be virtual or physical—with your friends and loved ones at home.

While some people struggle with their weight during the holidays, did you know that a recent study revealed a potential solution that does not involve depriving yourself of Christmas treats? 

In 2019, scientists at the University of Illinois released a study that suggests that consuming caffeine can limit weight gain and cholesterol production, even while eating a diet that is high in fat and sugar.

Based on the study, caffeine, which is a crystalline compound found mostly in tea and coffee plants, can reduce the storage of lipids in fat cells, as well as limit weight gain and the production of triglycerides. And although the scientists used the caffeine extracted from mate tea, the study noted that effects were similar with synthetic caffeine and that extracted from coffee.
