Amway’s Nutrilite PhytoPowder: Hydration, nutrition, supplementation in a single convenient drink

Rehydration is absolutely vital, especially for those who live active lifestyles.  For oral rehydration, the new gold standard is Amway’s Nutrilite PhytoPowder.  No other drink on the market offers the benefits of Nutrilite PhytoPowder, and the fact that it comes in convenient foil stick packs means you can drink it anywhere there is drinking water.  PhytoPowder is truly a rehydration solution like no other. 

It is no secret that the human body is mostly water, but science has shown that when we sweat, drink too much alcohol, or when we have diarrhea, we lose not just water but the ability to retain water.  This is because the electrolytes that allow the human body to retain water are in fact water soluble.  The water we lose as we sweat heavily also washes away electrolytes as we lose it.    

This is why electrolyte drinks are more effective for oral rehydration than water alone.  The infusion of electrolytes quickly restores the body’s ability to maintain the correct percentage of water, something that we literally need in order to survive.  However, it has been known for some time that apart from water and electrolytes we also lose water soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin B Complex, and Vitamin C.  

Pop superstar Joe Jonas lends his voice to The Kraken in Columbia Pictures’ adventure comedy Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation (in Philippine cinemas August 22).

"Hotel Transylvania 3" Introduces the Van Helsings to the Monster Mash

Michelle Yeoh Upholds Family Legacy in "Crazy Rich Asians"

Real power doesn’t raise its voice. That’s what Michelle Yeoh suggested to director Jon M. Chu in their initial explorations of her character, Eleanor Young, the feisty matriarch, in Warner Bros. Pictures’ new romantic comedy “Crazy Rich Asians.”   

Chu recalls, “She said, I don’t yell because truly powerful people don’t yell.  They don’t need to move one muscle or expend any energy on you, and that can cut more than anything else.’”  

A striking figure—striking terror, some would say—Eleanor is the epitome of poise and polish, flawless from her coiffure to the point of her bespoke shoes, as only the inimitable Yeoh could portray her.  Her happiness at having her eldest son home is tempered by the fact that he is accompanied by a pretty, young woman whose lineage is questionable, yet Nick seems to be utterly smitten with her.  Eleanor’s thinly veiled attempts to be gracious and polite aren’t enough to hide her obvious displeasure.
