NOW Ambassador Sam YG

As part of its mission to help people achieve holistic well-being, NOW Foods created the NOW Ambassador program.  Their goal was to support individuals who share NOW Foods’ passion for a healthier life, both in the physical and emotional sense. Ambassadors can come from any occupation, whether an athlete or not, as long as they have a positive story to tell about the impact of NOW Foods supplements on their life.

One of the featured NOW Foods Ambassadors is Michelle Blank, a federal law enforcement officer from New Jersey who is also a professional IFBB Pro Fitness competitor.  As a proponent of natural health products, NOW Foods has played a big role in her achievements both in her work and in her passion for fitness.  Another ambassador is Pat Kellner, a 27 year old professional kayak angler living in Rocksprings, Texas.  To keep fit, he runs around 20 miles a week and does strength training exercises. Like Michelle, Pat recognizes the valuable nutritional support NOW Foods gives him in his kayak tournaments and other activities.

NOW Ambassador Melanie Siy Tan

In the Philippines, NOW Foods is welcoming its first ever Filipino Ambassadors: model and vegetarian Isabel Roces; Erwan Heussaff, celebrity foodie and health buff; Sam YG, popular DJ and TV host; and Melanie Siy Tan, a full-time mom and yoga instructor.  As the NOW Foods product range caters to all lifestyles, the ambassadors hail from diverse backgrounds, but are united by their exemplification of healthy living and their unique drive to live life with passion.  Most importantly, Erwan, Isabel, Melanie and Sam have personally experienced and have benefitted from NOW Foods supplements.  As role models of holistic well-being, they are living their passion fully, thanks to good health and nutrition.

 There are many ways to get rid of back pain. In the Internet, you can find several resources that will help you identify effective ways to stop the pain. In this sponsored post, let me share with you the three best ways to solve this kind of health problem.

1. Try to use reliable products to ease the pain. Most of these products can be purchased through the Internet, so you don’t have to worry for its immediate availability. These products include Technogel Anatomic Pillow, The RhapsodyBed by Tempur-Pedic, G Set Gel Cushion and Healthy Back Neck Pillow. But before buying any of these products, you must read reviews to avoid purchasing useless item.

2. Prevent back pain by doing healthy habits. Drink more water. A well-hydrated body heals faster. Through regular exercise, it is also necessary to develop a strong back. Basically, if you can find a comfortable position to lie in or sit in, use that position as often as you can. It will help relax your back muscles.

3. Finally, get a therapeutic massage from a massage professional who understands why backs hurt and what can be done for back pain. This process is a little bit tedious since not all massage professionals can give you the best treatment. Your goal is to find the best massage professional in town.

We all have the responsibility to take care of our body to avoid health problems. Taking a cue from the message that prevention is better than cure, we must have regular exercise regimen and good eating habits. We can prevent having back pains by keeping our back strong and healthy.

We remember that she was forced to lose weight to play the role of dying prostitute Fantine in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables. She also cut her once-lustrous long brown hair into a blunt crop for the part.

Anne Hathaway wore a black bikini for a trip to the beach with her mother Kate and a group of friends. After swimming, she quickly covered her beach body with a gray t-shirt. She completed the look with a chic hat and later on, a colorful maxi skirt.

The latest look of the wife of Prince William caught the attention of fashion lovers across the globe. She looked fabulous in a daring teal dress gown and elaborate updo at London Olympic gala concert. As she arrived at a gala at the Royal Albert Hall to mark the countdown to the London Olympic Games, the tiny gems in the delicate lace across her back and shoulders shimmered. 

 The dress, which is designed by Jenny Packham, perfectly blended with her elegant hairstyle. She completed the outfit with her signature makeup, the smoky eye makeup, and a pair of “Vamp” sandals from Jimmy Choo that she has already wore earlier in the week.

The participants, grouped into ten, were required to prepare a nutritious vegetable salad. The cooking challenge is also devised to help them learn the value of cooperation and learning.

Before the cooking challenge, we had a quick meeting in the main hall to learn more about  preparing different kinds of vegetable salads. The youth leaders explained the proper way in preparing the ingredients and the process of mixing it with the vinaigrette or the emulsion. 

Here’s my favorite presentation in the cooking festival.
