While we can somehow heave a collective sigh of relief these days due to lower COVID-19 cases, the pandemic remains a threat to health. Do not wait for another surge that could increase demand and lead to shortage in supplies. Stock up on your health essentials and save more. Here are some items you can buy now on edamama.
Masks and more masks
In the Philippines, masks will likely be a staple for another year. As face to face classes resume and the hybrid set-up for workers slowly becomes the norm, masks will remain part of our daily lives outside the home.
Ensure your kids’ safety not just from COVID but from other infectious diseases like the common cold, flu, influenza, measles, among others. Invest in masks with good fit for kids like Kleenex Protect for in-person classes or use the washable Totsafe Lifestyle mask when in family gatherings.
Adults at home must also continue masking up, even when just getting food or edamama deliveries from partner riders. Stock up on Defender premium disposable face masks for those quick errands or the Kleenex Protect Daily Mask Large for adults when going to work or onsite meetings.
Immunity boosters
Vaccination against COVID-19 is the best protection. It would however be best to keep the immune system strong, especially for children who are not yet eligible to get jabs. Pediatricians recommend Vitamin C plus Zinc for children, on top of balanced nutrition and lots of sunshine. Food supplements made of power vegetable malunggay may also be an option.
Parents may try Vitamin C Plus Zinc from trusted brand Fern-C or the Puritan’s Pride Triple Immunity Bundle, which supports an adult’s daily requirement for Vitamin C, and for other much-needed nutrients.
Tea supplements will also help tired mamas relax. After all, lower stress hormones means overall well-being! Check out Higher Living Organic Immunity Tea or Down Time Tea Mint Blueberry Tea Bags for those quiet me-time moments.
Hand soaps
Handwashing is a habit that we should never ditch. After all, frequent handwashing reduces the probability of acquiring most communicable diseases, according to the World Health Organization. Load up your households with Lysol’s Antibacterial Skincare soap or Safeguard Foaming Lemon Handsoap or the Uni-Care Prefume handsoap.
Disinfectants
Remember how alcohol bottles were wiped out in most supermarkets during the first lockdown? Skip that (unlikely) probability of losing access to disinfectants. These do not easily expire so it’s good to buy in bulk. You may even avail of special discounts! Here are some recommendations: Band aid 500 ml; Curabliss Tea Tree scented alcohol; or the Defenz Ethyl Alcohol with trigger spray.
Disinfectant wipes have also become essential, especially when you need to disinfect surfaces in school, offices, or tables and chairs when dining out. Get Lysol Surface Wipes or Organic Baby Wipes to wipe virus and bacteria that may be living on doorknobs, phones, light switches, elevator buttons, among others.
Looking for disinfectant sprays? COVX Spray serves as surface cleaner, while Kurin Fruit and Vegetable Spray can safely disinfect your fruits and veggies.
UV for more cleaning power
Need to disinfect keys, pens, phones, and other handy items? Get the Big Brute Sterilizer and Dryer Cabinet, now at a discounted price. This power cleaner uses ultraviolet light to kill viruses and bacteria – it can even sterilize baby nipples and pacifiers sans mess!
Air UV cleaners are also a must these days. Put the Philips UVC Disinfection Air Cleaner in your living room, home office, classrooms for better air quality. This can also help reduce allergy attacks caused by irritants.
The Aircleene UVC lamp could meanwhile easily disinfect bedrooms and bathrooms. It also takes out foul odor caused by molds.
If you need something handy, the UV care portable sterilizer is your best bet. Just swipe it closely on surfaces, or disinfect money and other items you can’t wash with soap and alcohol. It is rechargeable via USB and matches most battery packs and car charger ports.
