Parties—which are aplenty during the holiday season—while fun, can wreak havoc on health. Overeating and consuming food with high fat and high sugar content could lead to heart disease.
According to the Department of Health, cardiovascular diseases, which include heart attack and stroke, are the top causes of death among Filipinos. This, however, should not dampen anyone’s spirits; by being mindful of what we consume, we can make this season not only happy but heart-healthy as well.
Health technology company Philips offers kitchen appliances that let homemakers stay heart-healthy during the holiday season and beyond.
Opt for fresh juice instead of sweetened soda that is high in harmful sugars and chemicals. Philips Avance Collection Juicer HR 1871 can create up to 2.5 liters of healthy drinks in one go without the need to empty the pulp container. Clean up is easy thanks to its QuickClean technology.
Crispy food is great as pica-pica and as a main dish, but deep fat-frying is a health no-no. Fry with 80 percent less oil with the patented Rapid Air Technology of Philips Digital Airfryer HD9238. Aside from frying crispy food, it can also be used to grill, roast, and even bake a variety of meals.
With functions for slow cooking, pressure cooking, and multi-cooking, Philips Viva Collection All-in-One Cooker is the ideal gadget for someone who loves to cook or can only afford to have a few items in their kitchen.
Make a variety of fresh dips and sauces instead of having the store-bought kind that is full of fat, sugars, and preservatives with Philips Food Processor HR 7761 that comes with different accessories which has more than 28 functions. Its PowerChop technology provides superior chopping results for both hard and soft ingredients.
