The Philippines is one of the most stressed out countries in the world and one the most basic ways to combat this is to start at home. Here are some ways to take care of you and your family’s health:.

To stay mentally and physically healthy, it’s important that your family goes on adventures. It can be a vacation, a trip to the mall, or a simple movie marathon. Investing time on these can break the monotony of your usual routines and can leave all members of the family feeling refreshed and recharged! Aside from having a great time, you also get to bond with your loved ones.

Share Meals Together

Family meals enable conversations to happen. It’s an avenue where you catch up on each other’s day. As detailed by Psychology Today, shared meals provide an excellent opportunity for good parenting like spending both quality time and quantity time with one's children.


Children, in particular, benefit in more ways than one. They are happier, healthier and have better relationships with siblings and parents. In addition to this, finding time to eat with your loved ones can reduce stress as well. Family meals are more important than we give them credit for.

Keep Lines of Communication Open

Bottling up emotions can never be good. Did you know that suppressing your emotions can lead to stress, heart diseases, tuberculosis, and even cancer? Just make sure that you practice a constructive way of releasing emotions. If your wife or husband is doing something that is bothering you, confront in a calm manner and manage solutions together. When it comes to your children, stick to a positive approach but make them learn from their mistakes as well. Avoid engaging in shouting bouts.

Be Supportive

This is an important practice for every home in the Philippines. Showing that you care for each member of your family promotes a healthy, stress-free environment. One way to do this is to give emotional support.


How do we convey emotional support? Listen, understand, and reassure. When they need you, give them your undivided attention and make them feel that they’re in a safe place. Most of all, believe in them especially when they’re in doubt.
