Yoga Outfit for Men: Size, Type and Fabric

Tweet

After the holidays, most of us gain extra pounds due to different parties we attended. With this, losing weight is always included in the goals by almost everyone, including me, for this year.

Different activities like jogging, running, jumping ropes, dancing or Zumba and yoga are just some of the things that an help achieving the weight-loss goal aside from reducing food intake.

Mommy and I do early morning, 15-minute Zumba and want to engage into yoga.

Just like other weight-loss activities, having a comfortable outfit for yoga is also a thing to be considered.

Here are some things men needs to consider in picking the “perfect” outfit for yoga.

Size

Men used to buy loose clothing for sports-related activities like basketball or gym workouts. However, yoga is different. It is recommended to have a bit tight but not too small. This will make easier to monitor different body angles.

Having the right size will also help immediately absorb sweat.

Tops for Yoga

Type

For tops, an ordinary t-shirt, tanks or muscle shirts are alright as long as it is just the right size and will not fall on the face when doing bend over or headstand poses.

Bottom for Yoga

For bottoms, cropped or long and stretchable pants are more appropriate as this will not limit your body angles. Basketball or gym shorts may be worn but be sure to have cycling shorts underneath to prevent from possible exposure.

Fabric

There is no ideal material when it comes to the fabric as long as it has the ability to absorb sweat, stretchable, durable and lightweight.

Speaking of sports clothing, you can either buy RTW or customized to give more motivation in achieving the weight-loss goal. For customized outfit, you can visit LogoSportswear which offers large selection of customized clothing like LogoSportswear Custom Jerseys and LogoSportswear Polos

Impacted Wisdom Tooth and Pericoronitis

Tweet

How was your holiday celebration? I know most of us enjoyed the food served in the table during the Noche Buena and Media Noche. Unfortunately, I haven’t enjoyed much of eating especially during the Media Noche.

Why?

A week before the New Year’s Eve, my wisdom tooth strikes again. My gum is swollen and gives me pain every time I chew. I had an impacted wisdom tooth. Buti nalang, pahupa na ang pamamaga.

Impacted wisdom tooth is when the skin, soft tissue or bone from the jaw covers the tooth. It might be angular, horizontal, vertical or partial. There are instances that this tooth may pop-up one day then goes down the next.

This is very painful and may cause inflammation of the gum or tissue around the tooth. The swelling of the gum or tissue is called pericoronitis.

Due to pericoronitis, the gum tissue easily holds food particles, debris, air which is a god habitat for bacteria that can lead to infection.

In my case, I have a horizontal type of impacted wisdom tooth.

Symptoms of having pericoronitis include painful and swollen gum in the affected area, bad smell or taste in the mouth, and discharge of pus from the gum near the tooth. A more serious problem can be indicated by swollen lymph nodes under the jaw or chin area, muscle spasms in the jaw and swelling of the face.

Pericoronitis can be coped by taking antibiotics, swishing warm salt-water, and some pain reliever. However, if bacterial growth continues, recurrence of pericoronitis is highly possible. 

How to treat pericoronitis?

The simplest and easy way to treat this condition permanently is by either removing the gum tissue that covers the wisdom tooth or extracting the wisdom tooth. Extracting the impacted wisdom tooth may need x-ray and surgery.

During the time I already feel severe pain, I already told mommy to visit the dentist and let the wisdom tooth extracted. But I changed my mind since I only had this problem very rare.

Do you also have impacted wisdom tooth? How did you manage it?

Making New Year More Memorable with #RedRibbonCelebration

Tweet

Having sweets in the table is one of the Filipino superstitions for New Year's Eve. Some said this will bring sweetness in the family. This has been one of our family tradition aside from having twelve round fruits.

Bibingkang Kanin with Leche Flan

Until the last minute, Mommy asked me to make bibingkang kanin (I will post the recipe soon). Instead of the usual sweet caramel, she asked me to make leche flan as the topping.

Aside from rice cakes of puto, cakes is also another option that can be placed in the dining table. Speaking of cakes, Red Ribbon wants to make every celebration special. Here is a press release from Red Ribbon:

Making New Year Celebrations More Memorable

Red Ribbon brightens tables, brings family and friends closer

Welcoming the new year is one tradition that is observed all over the world.  It is an occasion usually marked by festivities and warm, loving family get-togethers that not only remind everyone of the promises of the coming year but more importantly, bring people closer.  It is a time when social and familial bonds are renewed as a new year is ushered in.

It is a time when we all look towards the future as we prepare lists of resolutions with the intent of being better people.  It is also a time when we welcome change for the better and prepare for what is in store. 

In the Philippines, new year feasts are as anticipated as the Christmas noche buena.  In most homes, it is a time when the most sumptuous meals are prepared and shared among family and friends.  And as always, the feasting will never be complete if not capped with an obligatory cake or sweet ending - indeed, the perfect punctuation point to any festivity.

“We are one with the Filipino family in welcoming the blessings of the New Year because it is a time for togetherness and renewal,” said Zinnia Rivera, general manager of Red Ribbon. “And our many cakes and sweet offerings promise to make the celebration so much more memorable.”

Black Forest Cake

Red Ribbon offers a wide range of goodies to choose from for any occasion - Black Forest cake, Triple Chocolate Roll, Dedication cakes, Butter Mamon, just to name a few - these sweet delights will surely make any new year feast so much more enjoyable, memorable and fun. 

Whether you fancy round cakes, rolls, square cakes, breads or pastries, every item is made with the best of everything because every family is worth it.  But more importantly, opening a box or a pack of Red Ribbon immediately makes the new year celebration something to remember all year round.

“Our many products have long become a staple of not just New Year’s celebration but of any gathering whether simple or grand.  This is because we believe that any opportunity for family and friends to come together should be memorable and marking the occasion with a Red Ribbon will do just that.” Rivera added.

So, welcome the new year as only your family deserves because new year will always be a special time for Filipinos.

Christmas Carolers

Tweet

Six days to go before one of the most awaited days of the year. Christmas is not complete without carolers stopping in front of your house and sing their songs.

In our place, there are already carolers roaming around the subdivision either in a group or in solo. They bring their own tools to accompany their songs and most are improvised – maracas, tambourine, cymbals, and drums.

I remember back in our hometown, there are groups like fraternities/sororities and other organizations in our university that will give envelopes which will be collected on Christmas eve after singing in front of the house. They bring their own instruments like guitars, portable keyboards, bass clarinet, and portable drums.

The number of carolers usually increases as Christmas day approaches.

Matthew is very fond of the carolers, but he used to say “Patawad! Balik na lang kaso sa Pasko.” (Sorry for now, just come back on Christmas day.) Haha.

Did you join caroling too?
