We would like to inform everybody to be cautious from people who are taking advantage of the situation we are experiencing now in CDO. It is very unfortunate that there are at least a few who wanted to make something out of this; selling our water especially the 5 gallon size at a very high price. As a company which was born primarily to help, we would not let this pass.

We would like to reiterate that we are now selling the Nature’s Spring  5 gallons at a special price of P50.00, originally priced at P80.00 per piece. Should anyone of you encounter people selling this at a much higher price kindly report directly to our CDO Plant by calling our Hotline (088) 858 – 2008. You may also call Mr. Marlon Miculob (Area Sales Manager) at 09173207541 or Mr. Lemuel Ceballos (VP for Sales in Mindanao) at 0917 6263460 / 09228388830.

Let us help one another and we pray as one family for the quick recovery of Cagayan de Oro and all the areas greatly affected by the typhoon.

In line with the very unfortunate event that hit our fellowmen in Mindanao, Philippine Spring Water Resources, Inc. (Makers of Nature’s Spring Water) is extending their help by giving free supply of deep well water / non-processed water thru their Plant in Cagayan de Oro located at Zone 5 – National Highway, Gusa, Misamis Oriental. The water faucet is available to the public from 7am – 10 pm.

With summer approaching it is a good time to remind ourselves about the importance of hydration. It is water that helps to regulate your body’s temperature through sweating, keeping your body from over-heating. With warmer temperatures the body requires additional fluids to operate efficiently, especially if you exercise regularly or carry out strenuous work. Even if you don’t perceive it, your body perspires more in warmer temperatures, and if you are doing any physical labor you can sweat up to one litre of fluid every hour.

The lost fluid needs to be replaced to maintain your body in peak performance, whether at work or at play. Even if you are working indoors in an air-conditioned environment, it is important to be conscious of your hydration. According to research scientists, dehydration caused by air-conditioning systems can cause stress in office workers, as well as trigger headaches and fatigues. Air-conditioning can also have a drying effect on the skin, which is particularly affected by dehydration.

Summer-time Hydration Hints

• Drink a glass of water when you get up in the morning, since you’ve had no fluids for many hours.
• Have a glass of water with each meal. Drinking water at mealtimes aids in the digestive process.
• Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink; by the time the body registers thirst, it is already dehydrated.
• Remind yourself to drink continually throughout the day by keeping a water glass or bottle on your desk.
• Liven up plain water with a slice of lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit, or a dash of juice.
• Freeze pureed fruit (such as peaches, mangoes, or pears) in ice cube trays, and add a cube or two to plain water.

We all know that we need to protect our skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Of course, it’s impossible to avoid the sun completely – besides, who wants to hide indoors when it feels so great to get outside and be active? So whether you are headed for the beach, working in the garden, or pursuing any other outdoor activities, follow these tips to help manage sun exposure.
› Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Because the sun’s rays are strongest during these hours, try to schedule outdoor activities for other times of the day. Seek shade whenever possible. If you’re unable to avoid being in the sun, limit the amount of time you’re outdoors during these peak hours.

› Use sunscreen frequently. Apply sunscreen liberally 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply about every two hours – sooner if it’s washed away by perspiration or water. Use it even on cloudy or hazy days, as UV rays can penetrate cloud cover. Apply more sunscreen (with higher SPF) when you’re around reflective surfaces like water and sand.ge sun exposure:

› Wear sunglasses when outdoors. Look for a manufacturer’s label that says the sunglasses block 99% or 100% of all UV light. To be even more effective, choose sunglasses that fit close to your face or have wraparound frames that block sunlight from all angles.

› Cover up. Wear tightly woven clothing that covers your arms and legs and a broadbrimmed hat, which provides more protection than does a cap or golf visor. You should also consider wearing clothing or outdoor gear specially designed to provide sun protection.

› Drink plenty of fluids. Healthy skin is approximately 70% water. Sun exposure and heat can cause fluid loss through your skin. Be sure to replenish those fluids to prevent dehydration – when your body doesn’t have enough water to carry out its normal functions.

› Use moisturizers to help maintain your skin’s natural moisture levels. They work by providing a seal over your skin – to keep water from escaping – or by slowly releasing water into your skin.

› In case of sunburn, apply a cold compress, such as a towel dampened with cool water, take a cool bath or shower, and apply aloe vera lotion or hydrocortisone cream to affected skin.
