The power of a good night’s sleep

- In the Philippine­s, General Nutrition Centers (GNC) has made Kyolic and other such nutritiona­l supplement­s easily available. GNC is now on its 20th year, with stores in major malls throughout the country.

THREE prominent and successful personalit­ies attest to the power of a good night’s rest in pulling off their extremely hectic lifestyle.

As president and CEO of ABS-CBN Publishing, Ernesto Miguel “Ernie” Lopez has one of the most demanding jobs. He makes sure to take his three kids to school every day and work out with friends. The day winds down with a Bible study and dinner with his son. By 11 p.m., Lopez is ready to call it a night.

For him, sleep has to be on a Tempur bed, mattress and pillow. He even has the Tempur bed frame, which has been with him for more than 15 years, to go with his California King Mattress. Even his kids sleep better and longer on Tempur, he said.

One of Chef Fernando “Ferns” Aracama’s guilty pleasures has nothing to do with food. Getting at least eight hours of sleep is a priority.

The founder of eminent Chat Fores Design Studio, Chat Fores, said that brands do not really matter to her because she believes things need not be expensive to look good.

This same philosophy also goes for her choice of bed. Her family is a loyal Tempur user. They even bring Tempur travel pillows during trips and keep some in the car.

Tempur is exclusivel­y distribute­d in the country by Focus Global Inc. Visit ph.tempur.com; follow on Facebook

Garlic finds favor beyond the kitchen

One of the fastest growing industries in the world is the nutritiona­l supplement group, more broadly known as vitamins, minerals and supplement­s (VMS).

The nutritiona­l supplement that has been driving the market is Kyolic, a type of garlic supplement known as Aged Garlic Extract.

Kyolic has been around for the past 60 years, originatin­g in Hiroshima, Japan.

Garlic may be effective in slowing the developmen­t of atheroscle­rosis, and seems to be able to reduce blood pressure. Some people use garlic to prevent colon cancer, rectal cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. It is also used to treat prostate cancer and bladder cancer.
