00:00The seasons of Advent and Christmas are times to feast and party.
00:04Then again, think twice if you're well past your youth in dealing with the lethal illnesses of hypertension or high blood pressure
00:10that are byproducts of feasting on flavorful food rich in fat.
00:15Our Bienveni Manalo has more on being aware and being on moderation mode when feasting and partying.
00:23Angelita has been taking medicine for over two years due to her hypertension.
00:28She admits being hypertensive or afflicted with high blood pressure because of her lifestyle.
00:34She likes to eat fatty, salty, and sweet foods, especially whenever there is a celebration.
00:40And with the holiday season upon us and the celebration is all around, Angelita is now very careful about what she eats.
00:59The Department of Health warns the public regarding the diseases that could afflict us if we are not in control of what we eat,
01:08including high blood pressure and heart attack.
01:11That's why the Health Department has further ramped up its Ligtas Christmas campaign.
01:29The DOH is also strictly warning the public on food poisoning.
01:36Meanwhile, the department also continues to strengthen its Iwas Paputok campaign to welcome the new year with the bang.
01:48Therefore, the agency advises the public to join the designated community fireworks
01:53instead of playing once-on-with fireworks.
01:56Bien Manalo, from the National TV Network, for a new and better Philippines.
