“Health is Wealth”, this has been my guide through life. No
amount of wealth is enough if youre not healthy but wealth can help us be
healthy.
Using our wealth wisely on purchasing natural and health
products that would help us take care of our health.
Healthy Options,the country’s leading natural products store
chain, recently introduces organic
produce and meat farmed locally to the media and other health conscious persons
last week and the event was held at Edsa Shangri-la Hotel. Healthy Options
missions was to provide the most nutritious, best-tasting, and top-quality
products to health-conscious Filipinos. Healthy Options will now offer organic vegetables, herbs,
pork, chicken, and eggs sourced from local farmers.
All the product were produce
at the foot of the scenic Mt. Banahaw and near the two-storey high
Majayjay Falls, the five-hectare organic farm is a promising local source of
nutritious, flavorful, and top-quality products the store has been known for.
“By launching these products from our very own farm, we
renew our commitment to giving our customers better choices for a better life.
It is also a show of support to small organic farmers, and to healthy, humane,
and sustainable farming.” says Healthy Options managing director Romy Sia.
“We will deliver products that have the Healthy Options
guarantee of freshness and quality, just as we have been doing for more than a
decade,” promises Mr. Sia
“Our shelves will
carryorganicvegetables and herbs that are planted and harvested by hand.
Nurtured only by sunlight, pure spring water, and organic compost, these fresh,
tasty produce contain optimum nutrients,” he adds.
Healthy Options also showcases livestock-raising in an
environment that cultivates their natural behavior and provides a better
quality of life.As Mr. Sia proudly claims, “Our animals live in five-star
conditions!”
Their free range chickens can run around and forage for
food, and are fed with wholesome grains, organic vegetable trimmings, and wild
bugs and insects. Meanwhile, the pigs eat an all-natural diet of rice bran,
duck weed, copra meal, fruits, and vegetables, and are raised in odor-free
pens, with soft beddings made of soil, sawdust and carbonized rice hull. The
stress-free environment allows natural instincts like foraging and scratching.
‘Good food grown the good way’…
Truly, the animals lead a happy and healthy life, and are
treated with care and respect. They are then grown to an optimum weight at
their own natural pace before they are slaughtered humanely, and are not
subjected to any form of mutilation or cruelty.
These practices greatly differ from those of industrial
farms, which commonly use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and genetically
modified organisms (GMOs) on crops, and steroids, growth hormones,
sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics, and synthetic trace supplements on
animals.
Most commercial farms also practice mono-cropping which
leads to higher pest attacks, use additives to hasten production, and cram
poultry and livestock in very tight, unsanitary spaces that expose them to
stress and diseases.
Aside from offering superior meat and vegetable produce,
Healthy Options is also proud to advocate farming that does not produce
excessive waste or pollution, and results in a healthier ecosystem.
Yes choosing organic may be a little bit heavy in the pocket
but the long term effect to our health is more important.
How to live healthy is never easy but there a choice, a heathy choice
