Have a Heart-Healthy Philips Holiday!

Prepare guilt-free food and drinks with ease using Philips Kitchen Appliances

Philips Viva Collection All-in-One Cooker

Manila, Philippines - Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA),This holiday season promises to be merry and bright, as Filipinos love to celebrate through gatherings with friends and family. Parties cement our relationships with each other, but they can also wreak havoc on health. Overeating and consuming food with high fat and high-sugar content have all the ingredients--obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol—that could lead to heart disease.

According to the Philippines’ Department of Health[1], cardiovascular diseases, which include heart attack and stroke, are the top causes of death among Filipinos. This should not dampen your spirits for the yuletide season. Food and drink will be flowing, but by being mindful of what we consume, we can make this holiday not only happy but heart-healthy as well.

Here are a few ways you can enjoy time with your loved ones without putting your heart-health at risk:

Instead of drinking sweetened soda that is high in harmful sugars and chemicals, enjoy fresh juice! Finding fresh fruits is not a problem for a tropical country as ours. Use the Philips Avance Collection Juicer HR 1871 (PhP 12,995.00) to prepare juices —feel free to get creative and combine ingredients to make refreshing, unique drinks for you and your guests! Create up to 2.5L of healthy drinks in one go without the need to empty the pulp container. No need to worry about clean up since the Philips Juicer has QuickClean technology that makes cleaning as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Crispy food is great as pica-pica and as a main dish, but deep fat-frying is a health no-no. Fry without fear and with 80% less oil with the patented Rapid Air Technology of Philips Digital Airfryer HD9238 (PhP 15,995.00). Just place cut-up pieces of chicken, lean meat, or even fish, and soon, you’ll be feasting on heart-healthy, crispy and delicious fare—without the added fat! Not only can you fry using the Air Fryer, you can also grill, roast and even bake your favorite meals!
Enjoy the intelligent cooking system of the Philips Viva Collection All-in-One Cooker (PhP 12,995.00) when preparing your favorite meal during Noche Buena. With functions for slow cooking, pressure cooking and multi-cooking, this multitasker is safe to use and a perfect gift for someone who loves to cook!
Make a variety fresh dips and sauces instead of having the store-bought kind that are full of fat, sugars, and preservatives. Create heart-healthy dips and more in your kitchen with the Philips Food Processor HR 7761 (PhP 6,695.00) that comes with different accessories which has more than 28 functions. You can make salsa in minutes and then your winning spaghetti sauce with little clean-up. Its PowerChop technology provides superior chopping results for both hard and soft ingredients, to make sure you have time to enjoy your holidays

Philips Kitchen Appliances make all the necessary tools for good health accessible to you. This kind of convenience not only makes meal prep time shorter but helps ensure that everything that comes out of your kitchen is delicious and heart-healthy. Take advantage of the availability of fresh ingredients to bring out the subtle flavors in your dishes. By cooking healthier, you also live a better, healthier quality of life.
