Healthy Options Champions Kindness to Future You

 

When I found out that my daughter, my third child had Diabetes Mellitus, our life made a drastic change.  I was regularly baking pastries as it was my side hustle and we just love sweets, but had to limit it to only when there were orders.  We have to stop taking in everything that has sugar and give up on sodas.  It was hard to get whole foods, sugar-free treats, and organic pantry staples back then.  It was chaos when going to the grocery store as everything seemed unhealthy.  I never knew Healthy Options back then, she was only five years old.

Then, I came to discover the store in a certain mall, I can't recall where but I do remember the happiness on my daughter's when we found sugar-free chocolates, foodstuff perfect for her, and chromium picolinate, the best multivitamins for diabetics as it helps in lowering blood sugar.  My daughter is now 20 years old and the whole family has been benefitting to this change.

All thanks to Romy Sia and Christian Tan for bringing the concept from the US to Manila.  They founded Healthy Options in 1995 and it has grown from a single store in Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City to 34 stores nationwide, offering wholesome and natural products. Inspired by the difficulty of finding clean and artificial-free food in Manila for his son with food sensitivities, Romy opened the store after witnessing the popularity of natural foods during his visits to the US. He wanted to provide Filipinos with access to all-natural and organic pantry staples. Today, Healthy Options is dedicated to helping people live longer, richer, and more fulfilling lives. I guess, my prayer were answered through Mr. Sia's predicament, which not only helped their family but many others like me.

From then on, I became a consistent Healthy Options shopper and couldn't be more grateful to have been invited to a recent event promoting their new campaign.

 Event Highlights 

 

Healthy Options recently held the "Be Kind to Future You" event, inviting guests to a day of wellness discovery. Guests enjoyed creating personalized blends of healthy snacks made from organic and additive-free trail mix ingredients. They also had the opportunity to consult with a nutritionist and receive customized plans for incorporating clean and natural ingredients into their lifestyle. 

Parents led their babies and kids to a snack taste test from Happy Baby, which provides organic nutrition for a healthy start. They got to sample food with high-quality ingredients created in partnership with children’s health experts. To complete the day, attendees got to try clean and cruelty-free personal care products and savor all-natural and artisanal pastries from Baking Therapy. Attendees were also encouraged to bring amber, clean, and empty Healthy Options and Solgar supplement bottles for their next visit, where recyclable collection stations were situated within the store. 

 

The event offered valuable insights for health enthusiasts, emphasizing that a wellness journey should be personal and meaningful. As Healthy Options continues to champion a lifestyle centered around health and sustainability, the “Be Kind to Future You” campaign reminds us that every small decision contributes to a larger impact on individual well-being and the environment.
