In this issue

In this month’s Well-Being Issue, we celebrate all the oh-so- crucial little things that make for a happier, healthier lifestyle. We bring you features on yummy yet healthy snacks (page 9), easy-to- pick-up healing habits that make life better (page 44), and even how to help a loved one avoid Caregiver Burnout (page 34). We’re also confident that you will be inspired by the stirring words of Bb. Pilipinas Universe, Gazini Ganados, on her advocacy, elderly care (page 10), and the eye-opening insights of neurologist Joven Cuanang, who believes in the healing power of art (page 14). And we hope the advice our health, fitness, and wellness advocates have to share will urge you to follow their lead.
We have all these and more for you in this issue, and can’t wait for you to discover what we mean for yourselves. So read on, stay well, and remember:

When you’re feeling rushed, pressured, or stressed, just slow down, pause, and don’t forget to breathe.

My Pope Philippines Magazine Description:

My Pope Philippines is an adapted English version of Italian magazine, Il Mio Papa, dedicated entirely to Pope Francis. Every month, My Pope describes the life of the Holy Father, an emotional ride of meetings, words, and simple gestures of his daily life that highlight the important message of change that permeates his pontificate.
At least 65% of the content is international and 35% is created by the local editorial team in the Philippines to feature stories highlighting the encouraging developments in the lives of Filipinos, whose values and actions reflect those that the Pope stands for, with sections on good news, inspiring stories, traditions, arts and crafts and everyday heroes.
