What’s Your Mood? Find out with Jeunesse Anion.

When a woman is unreasonable, it’s easily tagged as “that time of the month”. It can often be unfair, especially because there is more to this than what the men in our lives like to assume.

Our period cycles span almost an entire month and every few days, something changes in our body. Hormone levels can change dramatically, depending on where we are in our cycle. That’s why there are days when we feel like we can do anything and days when we just want to stay home with a bag of chips and Netflix.

Here’s a short break down of what happens during a woman’s period cycle:

The Beginning

Days 1-2: The first day of your cycle is the first day of your period. 
Tissue and blood lining your uterus is the blood otherwise known as your period. Estrogen is low and women often experience fatigue and cramps. You might not feel like it but these days would be good days to exercise. Your mood might not be so great and your energy level is low.

Feel Good

Days 3-5: Estrogen begins to increase towards the end of your period. 
This hormone helps boost endorphins or your brain’s “feel good” chemicals. The same one that is released during exercise. Your energy also rises along with the rise in estrogen and ultimately this is you feel more upbeat at this time.

On Top of the World

Days 6-9: With your estrogen up, you are sure to feel more beautiful and energetic. 
And it’s no wonder because your skin is glowing and your face looks more symmetrical. Testosterone also rises during this time and you are most likely to feel unstoppable and on top of your game.

Bringing Sexy Back

Days 10-13: You are now approaching your ovulation which means you are feeling sexiest. 
You are most fertile during these days and women who want to become pregnant have the best chances of conception when they try at this window until ovulation day. Your orgasms are more intense and are attainable during sex. Estrogen levels are at the highest and women feel best emotionally and physically.

Hello, Ovulation

Day 14: For most period cycles, ovulation happens on this day. 
Ovulation is when an egg is released from the ovary. This egg lives for 12 to 24 hours. There is also a sudden hormone change during ovulation, which may intensify your emotions and tiredness.

Watch What You Eat

Days 19-22: Estrogen level begins to drop while testosterone surges if you are not pregnant. 
Your skin might be producing more oil than usual. This means you might be experiencing breakouts or sensitive skin. This is a good time for you to eat healthy.

Ending the Cycle

Day 23-28: If you are not pregnant, your estrogen and progesterone levels continue to drop. 
You may begin to experience bloating and sluggishness. The quick change in your hormones is also responsible for your quick changes in mood.  This is a good time for you to boost your serotonin levels through exercise and to cope with breast soreness. You should also reduce your intake of sugar, make sure to stay hydrated, and reduce your caffeine intake.

An unfertilized egg will soon leave your body together with the uterine lining that your body created in preparation for possible pregnancy. Once your period begins, you go back to Day 1 in the period cycle.

Jeunesse Anion pads help with the cramping and dysmenorrhea through the anions released by the strip. These anions “bind to the positively charged ions (of the body) which restricts the movement through the ion channel,” says the research result of Yasmin Endañol, UP Diliman Institute of Chemistry. “If there are no ions available for movement, the channels will remain closed, and signals will not be transmitted. Thus, pain felt by the user during dysmenorrhea is lessened to a minimum.”

PLDT is PH’s Undisputed Leader in Home Broadband

PLDT, Inc., the country's leader in telecom and digital services, remains to take the lead as it's Home Business Group's revenue soared to a 10% growth in 2018 to the tune of P36.4 Billion, thanks to the rising customer demand for fiber-powered broadband services.

Last year,  PLDT signed up 245,000 new Home customers for its fiber-powered internet services which increased its broadband subscriber base to over 1.9 million. This raised PLDT Home’s data service revenues by 33% to P27.5 billion, which now accounts for 75% of total Home revenues.

According to Oscar A. Reyes, Jr., PLDT-Smart SVP and Consumer Business Market Development Head, 2018 has been a stellar year for PLDT Home.  “With our aggressive network expansion, we were able to provide Filipinos everywhere in the country with the most powerful network, world- class products and diverse content that allow them to fully embrace and enjoy their digital lifestyles,” added Reyes.

He further explained that the demand for high-speed broadband services at Home has been driven by the growing appetite of Pinoys for Netflix, iFlix, Cignal and other online video entertainment services.

“Several recent studies have shown that Filipinos are among the most enthusiastic users of online video in the world. We are now watching more video online than through broadcast TV,” Reyes explains.

Last year, PLDT also expanded its fixed and mobile broadband networks through a record-high capital expenditures (capex) program that reach P58.5 billion. This led to an increased coverage of its fiber-powered fixed network by 57% to 6.3 million homes passed, exceeding by end-2018 its 2020 target. Along with greater coverage, PLDT also increased the available capacity of its fixed broadband network to 2.6 million ports, 2.6 times more versus the previous year.

To support this rapid expansion, PLDT also added nearly 70,000 kilometers of fiber cables,expanding its total fiber network to over 244,000 kilometers by 2018, a 39% increase from end-2017.

Through its Fibr city Program, PLDT's aggressive nationwide fiber expansion continued in 2018 forging active partnerships with different local government units especially some favorite tourist destinations like El Nido in Palawan as well as the bustling shoe capital of Marikina City in Metro Manila. PLDT also has transformed Key Urban Areas into Fibr Cities starting with Toledo City in Cebu, Naga City in the Bicol Region, including the Tuna Capital of the country, my beloved General Santos as well as South Metro Manila, East Metro Manila and CBDs like Rockwell Makati and Bonifacio Global City, while Cavite became the first "Smart Province".

This year, PLDT and its wireless subsidiary Smart Communications are further raising the bar by allocating a new historic-high capex program of P78.4 billion, P20 billion higher than 2018. This includes a substantial allocation for “Customer Capex” which covers the cost of last-mile and customer premises equipment like modems and acquisition of vehicles, equipment and office space for the new corps of technicians that will fast-track and improve the quality of installation and repair of fixed broadband connections.

“This increased allocation for customer capex will enable us to quickly connect more homes and
businesses with fiber-powered, high-speed fixed broadband,” Reyes explained.

PLDT’s continuing network expansion and improvement efforts have raised the level of internet services to its growing customer base. This has been confirmed by leading international internet testing companies.

For example, global internet testing and analysis leader Ookla cited PLDT as the Philippines’ fastest fixed network in 2018. In the third and fourth quarters of last year, PLDT posted a Speed Score™ of 18.57, with top download speeds of 52.28 Mbps and top upload speeds of 55.95 Mbps.

Late last year, PLDT beefed up its service portfolio with the launch of Google Wifi and Prepaid Home WiFi.

The telco giant ushers a new era of home broadband by introducing the new PLDT Home Google Wifi plans that enable customers to enjoy unlimited high-speed Fibr in every room of the house through strategically placed Google Wifi ‘points.’ These ‘points’ form part of a mesh networking technology that eliminate WiFi dead spots to make the most out of PLDT Home’s fastest unlimited Fibr connection for the family.

The Prepaid Home WiFi is PLDT’s first ever prepaid broadband service that is powered by Smart’s LTE network, the Philippines’s fastest mobile Internet service according to the latest Speedtest® of both of Ookla and UK-based mobile analytics firm OpenSignal. 

An affordable wireless Internet service for the household, Prepaid Home Wifi allows families to connect up to five (5) WiFi-ready devices such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, to Smart’s high-speed Internet service.

Also in 2018, PLDT reaffirmed its commitment to empowering the country’s burgeoning esports community as one of the six founding corporations of The Nationals—the country’s first franchise-based esports league. More recently, PLDT and Smart also unveiled the PLDT-Smart Omega, its very own professional gaming team for The Nationals.

“As we look to 2019, we will continue to blaze the trail for data and digital services in the Philippines and raise the bar in delivering unparalleled customer experiences,” Reyes said.
