COO, CARRION SA ‘RISE UP! SHAPE UP’

PINANGUNAHAN nina world-renowned Filipina bowler Olivia ‘Bong’  Coo at Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) president Cynthia Carrion ang women empowerment web series ng Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) na tinawag na Rise Up! Shape Up kahapon.

Ang ika-8 episode na tumapos sa two-month-long series ay may titulong “Aging Gracefully: Embracing Life’s Golden Years” at nakatuon sa healthcare at best lifestyle practices ng dalawang matagumpay na kababaihan para sa kanilang edad.

Binigyang-diin ni PSC Chairman William Ramirez ang kahalagahan ng pagpapakita ng dalawang naturang sports figures na ang pagiging malusog at aktibo sa kanilang edad ay posible.

“These powerful and decorated women in the sports scene make us proud of their achievements and inspire us to prioritize our health proving that age is just a number,” ani Ramirez.

Sinabi pa ng sports chief na “together yet apart, we Filipinos share the responsibility of keeping everyone safe.”

Ayon naman kay PSC-Women in Sports Oversight Commissioner Celia H. Kiram, ang pagpokus ng episode sa aging women ay binigyang motibasyon ng pagbabago sa dietary needs at physical activity requirements ng katawan ng tao habang ito ay tumatanda.

“Women need to manage their health better later in life as medical studies show that they are more prone to heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, depression and anxiety, and hormone changes. Coronavirus is still around and is an addition to the health threats present now,” dagdag ni Kiram. CLYDE MARIANO
