MANILA, Philippines -While it can be challenging to find a good balance between work and family life, there are many mothers who believe that being hands-on with their kids is a non-negotiable aspect while they continue to work towards their career goals. These supermoms are driven not only to excel at work but also to make the best choices for their families.
Dr. Nina Ricci Tolentino is a dentist who makes sure she finds time to focus on her children, Gabrielle and Jethro. “I especially see to it that my kids eat nutritious food that will keep them healthy, especially since they have bronchial asthma,†Nina says.
“Asthma runs in my family, I myself am asthmatic and I know how hard it is to cope with this condition. It becomes even more problematic when my kids have cough. And because I did not want them to be bombarded with chemical medicines, I tried to find alternatives. Thankfully, I discovered Ascof Lagundi. Now there’s a safer alternative for my kids’ cough. Plus, I found that Ascof Lagundi even helps ease the symptoms of mild asthma,†Nina explains.
Like Nina, Shirley dela Cruz-Sison has a tough balancing act. She was an administrative officer/administrative assistant in a top university while raising her two-year-old baby singlehandedly as her husband worked abroad. However, she does not let her work keep her from being a hands-on mom. “I breastfed Johan and give him the best nutrition options. I am a vegetarian, so I make sure that he, too, takes wholesome food that is good for him,†Shirley says. She is also a strong believer in nature’s power to heal. “My father would prepare herbal concoctions when my sister and I had coughs. So this was something I remembered when my son had a bad cough. The cough medicine that his doctor prescribed had no effect, so instead of switching to another chemical brand, I decided to try Ascof Lagundi. He got better within a few days. I was also reassured that because Ascof is a natural cough medicine, there were no side effects on Johan. And, it was very easy to get him to take Ascof because he liked the taste!â€
