Healing Oils, Healthier Skin for 2013, Rhea Santos’ Secret to Fitness in Pinoy M.D.

CEBU, Philippines - For the second Saturday of 2013, Pinoy M.D. and its health experts Doc Dave Ampil II, Dra. Jean Marquez, Dr. Raul “Dr. Q” Quillamor, and Doc Oyie Balburias join forces once again to help viewers prioritize healthy living.  As host Connie Sison just gave birth, healthy Kapuso mom Suzi Abrera joins this Saturday’s episode.  

In the recently concluded Feast of the Holy Nazarene, millions of devotees rushed to Quiapo just so they could touch its image as they believe the miraculous Nazarene has healing powers. Believers even say that healing becomes speedy if an affected area will be applied with oil that has been blessed.

There are still no sufficient findings to scientifically support such belief but this Saturday, Pinoy M.D. introduces natural oils or “healing oils” that can help relieve pain—from its different types to the proper application of such oils.

Resident dermatologist Dr. Jean says that caring for the skin—the largest organ of a human body—is the best resolution one could have for this year, no matter what the age.

Skin care efficacy usually is based on age and Dr. Jean enumerates tips on how to prevent pimples for those who are 20 years old and below; how to fight the early signs of aging like wrinkles for those in their thirties; and how to achieve young-looking skin for ages 40 and above.

Lastly, for the Healthy si Idol segment, broadcaster Rhea Santos reveals how she lost more than 30 pounds after childbirth. She admits that with her hectic schedule, she didn’t find it easy to get back in shape. But after only six months, Rhea is almost back to her pre-pregnancy weight.

Catch all these this Saturday, January 12, in Pinoy M.D. 6am to 7am only on GMA-7. (FREEMAN)
