Every day is Mother's Day to Dyan Castillejo
Manila, Philippines - TV sports host Dyan Castillejo is always on the go, but it has never stopped her from being a hands-on mom. This she admitted to 15 mom-bloggers in an open forum on healthy living recently sponsored by Easy Pha-max Philippines.
Accompanied by her nine-year-old son Matthew Garcia, Dyan met with the women bloggers with whom she shared tips on how to raise healthy children by feeding them healthy food and drinks and guiding them towards active living.
“I didn’t know how to grow up but be healthy because my parents reared me into it,” she said.
Describing her life as super-regimented, Dyan chafed at the thought of not doing anything because that is time wasted. She said family bonding more often is marked by physical activities with her son and husband. “We bike, we exercise together. We go to church together. We have fun together.”
Her son is also into multiple activities — football, tennis, student council, church choir. Keeping up his energy is taking Whea-gee Chewables, wheatgrass in tablet form that’s good for boosting children’s immune system and cleansing their digestive tract. He has been taking it for the last four years and hardly gets sick.
Dyan carries seven bags in her car — workout bag, a liquid bag, bags for books, for cold and warm food. The liquid bag is for her Easy Pha-max wheatgrass powder drinks, which she takes 10 times a day. It’s the first drink she takes upon waking up. “When I drink wheatgrass, I know I feel well,” she said.
Dyan’s parting words for the mom bloggers, “Whatever you grew up with, that becomes the normal behavior. Exposing your kids to the sporting lifestyle nurtures their team spirit.”
