Corona Virus makes me more cautious about every action that I will make. Keeping my family healthy and germ-free is one of my tasks this few months. Because of this Pandemic cost by Covid-19, all of us became meticulous in all that we are doing-especially cleaning our clothes. It is not enough that you will just wash it with your trusted laundry soap.



For my case whenever I go out of the house I made sure that I wear a protective mask (which is a washable one), face shield and once I got home I dump my dirty clothes and mask to a bin outside of our house to eliminate the spread of the germs. Upon entering the house I make sure that I use alcohol and run straight to the bathroom to take a warm bath.

Coronavirus needs a tougher cleaning agent to be able to kill it, but I know what you are thinking moms. What if you're kids have sensitive skin? What if it destroys the fabric of the clothes? I discovered a new innovation in terms of Washing Machine technology have you heard Cool Hygiene within a washing machine? If not let me tell you about it.


CoolHygiene 20 °C Program is 70% more energy-saving and keeps your wash allergen and bacteria free even at low temperatures. Keep your cool when your soiled clothes emerge good as new! There is one brand that has this technology which is Beko.

Aside from the CoolHygiene technology Beko Laundry making is easier because of the other specification of their washing machines it has Energy Saving quality that I am sure all moms out there will love. When you are going to use the washing machine they make sure that you cannot hear any sound and it is safe for babies.

Right now we need to exert extra effort to clean our surroundings especially our clothes we wear outside the house. Beko Washing Machines are the best because of their CoolHygiene technology and which is an eco-friendly feature. It is not enough that you just clean your self. Your clothes should be cleaned properly so that we are sure that we are living a Covid-19 free home.

I will share some points that we need to consider in buying Washing Machines

Efficiency. How efficiently does your washing machine in terms of saving power and water? You need to choose an economical washing machine that means saving in for your household.

Load Capacity. Load Capacity is another point that you need to consider, if you are a big family you'll want a washing machine that has a large capacity.

The overall function of the washing machine. As I said, now we need to consider if the washing machine you are buying has a hygiene technology that will take good care of your clothes while cleaning it thoroughly without damaging the fabrics. Some have steam type hygiene but I prefer CoolHygiene technology.

Price. The price of the washing machine is our number one factor that we need to consider. We should allot a budget and check the feature of the washing machine.

Check if it is eco-friendly. Eco-friendly washing machines mostly have a low sound that you can peacefully wash your clothes at night even your kids are sleeping.

Now we all know that what we need to consider hygiene features in buying washing machines. After all, staying clean and making sure that our family is healthy is our priority now.

Despite the proven health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables, Filipinos are found not to eat enough green produce as they should. From a daily average of 145 grams of greens in 1978, Filipinos consumed only 110 grams of vegetables a day in 2008, based on the latest available data of the National Nutrition Council (NCC).


Meat consumption, on the other hand, is at an all-time high thanks to so many ready-to-eat canned products as well fast-food chains. While eating meat is a good source of protein, excessive consumption can increase the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol.

Reduced fruit and vegetable consumption is also linked to poor health and increased risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). An estimated 3.9 million deaths worldwide were attributable to inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption in 2017, says the World Health Organization (WHO).

The way to combat the risks of these diseases is to promote a healthy lifestyle by eating meat in moderation and consuming the right amount of fruits and vegetables. The WHO suggests consuming more than 400 grams of fruits and vegetables per day to improve overall health and, reduce the risk of certain NCDs.

To help you and your family lead a healthy lifestyle, BEKO Philippines, Europe’s leading brand of home appliances, shares some simple tips to introduce fruits and vegetables to family meals.

Add fruits and vegetables to the menu

Make it a point to incorporate vegetables and fruits on the plate. Vegetables as side dishes and fruits as desserts are not only healthy but add variation and texture to any meal. It also introduces more flavors to the meal without the worry of preservatives and promotes a healthier eating habit.

Serve salads as the merienda

For people who love snacking, salads are a better way to make merienda a healthy fare. Salads are delicious and are packed full of nutritional benefits such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. And if you like fancy texture in your salads; throw in nuts like almonds, hazel nuts, walnuts, cashews and peanuts and the like. These not only add crunch but are rich in protein, vitamins B and E, folates, magnesium, oleic acid, calcium, omega 3 and so much more.

Experiment with recipes that make vegetables and fruits more appealing

Getting children to eat vegetables and fruits has always been challenging. However, there are a lot of tasty recipes that make use of vegetables as the key ingredient. Roasted broccoli with melted cheese, roasted sesame seeds with asparagus toasts and poached eggs, corn cilantro salad, and shrimp and asparagus pasta are just some of the delicious vegetable-based recipes your kids will love.

Store your greens, fruits properly

How well you store your foods, especially farm produce, is also equally important. What good are the nutrition of these foods if they can’t keep fresh long enough? Using the right appliances to store food better is also part of promoting good health. Fortunately, there are refrigerators now that can help you in storing your farm produce for longer periods of time while retaining its freshness.

For instance, Beko’s RCNT415E50VZWB bottom freezer, no frost inverter refrigerator is equipped with the innovative EverFresh+ technology, keeping fruits and vegetables fresh for up to 30 days with a precise humidity control that minimizes condensation in the crisper.


Beko’s RCNT415E50VZWB also boasts of its Active Fresh Blue Light technology that retains the natural flavors of fruits and vegetables, as well as the benefits of Vitamin C as it allows for a continuous photosynthesis in the crisper. It also has IonGuardTM, which neutralizes  bacteria, viruses, and particles in the refrigerator using negative ions, allowing air inside to continue circulating so, foods stay clean for much longer.

Every year, roughly one-third of the food produced for human consumption—around 1.3 billion tons gets wasted, says a report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN). Of these food items, fruits, and vegetables, plus roots and tubers, have the highest wastage rates.

Try developing these habits and, you might just realize that managing your leftovers could unleash the creative chef in you and may not be that big of a task after all!

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Beko, the Official Partner of the Everyday, honors the hard work, compassion, and dedication of mothers towards their families through fun activities during its “Mother’s Day Out” event at the Activity Center of Robinsons Magnolia in Quezon City, from May 10 to 12.
