With the recent global crisis, the importance of overall health shoots up across the board. Everyone is on the lookout to stay healthy amid a pandemic. Different types of physical exercises, quality vitamins, and healthy food options are gaining interest in today’s market.
In discussing health, food plays an important role. Myka Perlas, the woman behind the food brands in Iloilo City that advocate quality and affordable healthy snacks and meals, shares insights about challenges on having a healthy lifestyle.
First challenge is healthy foods are perceived to be expensive. Most people mention that healthy food can empty your bank. “Some healthy ingredients might be a little more expensive than the common food in the market,” shared Myka.
However, there is another perspective to look at this reality. “I believe that investing in clean and nutritious food will be worth it,” she continued. Preventing sicknesses caused by unhealthy food is better than paying for your hospital bills and maintenance medicine in the future.

Second challenge is integrating healthy food in your lifestyle consumes time. “It always involves time like any other food if prepared in any kitchen,” Perlas pointed out. Not only our money, we also spend our time. Money can be earned back but not time. “This is why I created Healthy Kitchen to help out people who do not have time to prepare healthy meals themselves,” she furthered.
Lastly, people affiliate healthy food to inconvenience. Being and staying conscious demands serious effort from any person. Healthy living is a lifestyle you choose for yourself. “When you are in a situation that you can easily choose the more convenient route, it takes effort, discipline, and a strong conviction to choose what is good for you from what is easy,” Myka explained.

Addressing these challenges
With these in mind, Myka dedicated her business endeavors to counter these challenges. “Healthy is a state of being where your body, mind, and soul is altogether at its best condition to fulfill your life’s purpose,” Myka added.
“I see Iloilo as a people who are mindful of their overall health working towards a goal of raising health awareness throughout our city,” Perlas observed. “Inspired by my parents, I personally decided to live a healthy life,” she continued. Feeling its benefits both in my physical and mental performance, she wants to encourage her fellow Ilonggos to do the same.
With her businesses, Myka wants to change people’s mindset describing healthy food as bland – just vegetables and boring dishes. With the right expertise and inspiration, healthy food can go from simple to fun, flavorful, and delicious dish good for your body. This is the foundation of Myka’s businesses – Healthy Kitchen, Salads and Wraps, and Mamaca Frozen Yogurt.
