BINTANA SA PARAISO: A window to paradise.

One year after the lockdown was imposed because of the global pandemic, our feet are starting to itch to go somewhere far and serene. We are all dreaming of staying at the beach or enjoying the cold water of the pool while taking pictures and posting all those on our social media. We are hopeful that 2021 will be a year of relaxation and vacation but as the Covid-19 scare surrounds us, the safety protocols of provinces are still strictly imposed and that makes our eagerness to travel far from the bustling atmosphere of the city too exciting!

There are some provinces that allow tourists to visit their favorite destinations however, the tourists must comply with the necessary documents to be able to enter their premises. Such documents include travel pass and negative Covid test results. Some provinces, on the other hand, allow tourists to stay in hotels and resorts provided that they are a local resident of their province or island.

It’s okay! In the meantime, let’s fill your imagination with more anticipation for a well-deserved vacation! Let me introduce to you one of Philippines’ best resorts that is located on an island near Bohol Province. 

The Philippines has hundreds of thousands of recommendable tourist destinations from Luzon to Mindanao that are just waiting for tourists to explore and enjoy. One of these exemplary destinations is the breathtaking Bintana Sa Paraiso hotel and resorts in Camiguin Island!

Camiguin Island is an island province located in the Bohol Sea and the island capital is Mambajao. It is the second-smallest province in the country in both population and land area after Batanes. The island locals speak Cebuano as their dialect.

Camiguin is also well-known for their sweetest lanzones fruit in the country! The locals also celebrate the annual Camiguin Lanzones Festival every October as their tradition. So if you are looking for a tourist destination that will also keep you healthy with their crops and fruits, Camiguin is the choice to fly to!

Bintana Sa Paraiso is situated about 4.3 miles from the center of Mambajao and from the local airport, you can reach Bintana Sa Paraiso through an arranged airport shuttle that will only take you a 10-minute drive. If you wish to drive your own car, they have a provision for parking and guess what? The parking fee is FREE! Or, if you don’t have a car to drive, the hotel can arrange private transportation to let you explore the island. Isn’t it wonderful?

Bintana Sa Paraiso has two astounding branches in Camiguin Island. One in Naasag and the other in Binunsaran. Both branches have an ambiance that is breathtaking and definitely relaxing. 

The Naasag branch sits on a lovely hill at the foot of magnificent Mount Hibok-Hibok. The resort will give you a dramatic feel of Santorini in Greece for its whitewashed, cube-shaped buildings that are indeed patterned to the well-known historic landmark in the world! The property also has a secluded hot spring and infinity pool that you can enjoy. You can also enjoy the instagrammable 90-degree view of the island while sipping your favorite fruit drink from your room! Get ready to pump your phone and camera batteries because you will never get enough of the lovely view, interior designs, and vivid color of the fresh greens and flowers!

The Binunsuran branch, however, exudes a different ambiance but is still as astonishing. It is located at the mountain with a Balinese theme. There is one big swimming pool where you can also enjoy the view of the serene surrounding. This resort is highly recommended for its intimate vibe that gives you a healing feeling because of the peaceful lush of the mountain trees.

The Binunsuran branch is your best go-to resort if you are a “nature person” rather than a “beach person”. This resort speaks volumes about being close to nature. The stillness of the surrounding brings relaxation and peace of mind that you will only get from Bintana Sa Paraiso.

While the best vacation lies in the comfort of the amenities and the activities you can do in the resort like having a relaxing spa and doing some diving activities, breakfast also plays one of the best parts of your stay in a resort. In Bintana Sa Paraiso, both branches, Naasag and Binunsuran resorts offer the best and high-rated breakfast that has a selection that includes Italian, Vegan, Asian, American, and Ala Carte service.

Healthy Habits for Wellness: How it Improves your Diet?

Eating healthy food right now has become a hype more than a healthy practice. We have absorbed a lot of influences from social media and media itself on which food to eat, where you can find it, and even how you can prepare it. While the food industry has been booming despite economic setbacks, it is also notable that the evolution of nutritious food is quite impressive.

People are now more aware of which food is healthy and which food has less nutrition because of the influences we get from what we watch from Korean Drama and other western movies. But are we really getting the right dietary nutrition from the food we are eating? Are we really getting the right nourishment from the food we buy from the supermarket?

When you go on vacation, do you prefer to bring snacks and order some meals from the fast-food chain or would you rather have your meals freshly prepared in the hotel or resort you are staying in?

In this blog, you will find out how eating healthy foods and keeping healthy habits will help you improve your diet and what are the basic food you need to remember to keep your diet healthy and balanced.

What do we really mean when we say “healthy diet”?

A healthy diet protects you against many chronic non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Eating a variety of foods and consuming less salt, sugars, and saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, are essential for a healthy diet, according to the World Health Organization.

What are the benefits you get from eating healthy meals and keeping healthy habits?

1. Eating healthily controls your weight. Eating right and exercising regularly can help you avoid excess weight gain and maintain a healthy weight. The key to successful weight loss is developing a healthy diet and exercise habits. Diet just means eating healthy, lower-calorie meals. Exercise means being more physically active.

2. Keeps your heart healthy. High-fiber foods are crucial for keeping your heart healthy.  Avoid eating too much fatty food. The medical community has long recognized the link between trans fats and heart-related illnesses, such as coronary heart disease.

3. Eating healthily improves your mood. Some evidence suggests a close relationship between diet and mood. In a study that was released in 2016, researchers found that diets with a high glycemic load may trigger increased symptoms of depression and fatigue. A diet with a high glycemic load includes many refined carbohydrates, such as those found in soft drinks, cakes, white bread, and biscuits while vegetables, whole fruit, and whole grains have a lower glycemic load. 

4. It improves your memory. A healthful diet may help maintain cognition and brain health. A 2015 study identified nutrients and foods that protect against cognitive decline and dementia. The researchers found that foods rich in vitamins D, C, E, omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, and polyphenols, fish are beneficial to our body to improve our memory.

5. Eating healthy reduces the risk of cancer. Eating foods that contain antioxidants can reduce a person’s risk of developing cancer by protecting cells from damage. The presence of free radicals in the body increases the risk of cancer, but antioxidants help remove them to lower the likelihood of this disease.

6. Get a night of restful sleep. Sleep apnea occurs when the airways repeatedly become blocked during sleep. Risk factors include obesity, drinking alcohol, and eating an unhealthful diet. Reducing alcohol, caffeine intake and changing your eating habit can help you gain restful sleep, whether you have sleep apnea or not.

7. Keeps your bones and teeth healthy. A diet with adequate calcium and magnesium is important for strong bones and teeth. Keeping the bones healthy can minimize the risk of bone issues later in life, such as osteoporosis. Magnesium is abundant in many foods, and some of the best sources include leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

8. Keeps you from having diabetes. A healthy diet can help you, or a person with diabetes to manage their blood glucose level. It is imperative that people with diabetes will limit their intake of foods with added or excessive salt and sugar. Water is the absolute best to quench your thirst, skip the sugary drinks and go easy on the milk and juice.

Eating fruits and vegetables is the main source of a healthy diet. A well-balanced diet provides all of the energy you need to keep active throughout the day. It also provides nutrients you need for growth and repair, helping you to stay strong and healthy and help to prevent diet-related illnesses, such as some cancers.

Now that you know the benefits of maintaining a healthy diet and keeping a healthy lifestyle, always bear in mind that:

1. You don’t need too much sugar.

2. You need more fiber.

3. You need to regulate your carbohydrates and balance your proteins.

4. You need to drink more water.

5. Your body needs exercise.

That simple! So next time you will eat at the restaurant or when you go on vacation, always consider the healthy foods that the hotels or resorts are serving you. There is nothing wrong to be particular about the nutrition that you are getting from the food you are eating.

In Bintana Sa Paraiso, we guarantee you that we serve the best and nutritious meals to our guests to make sure that our guests get the right nutrition and best experience while staying in your hotel and resort.
