Years after the coronavirus shutdown, a Filipino-American physical trainer is looking to give back to frontline healthcare workers by working exclusively with nurses.For over five years now, Jeriel Mangoba has been helping many people achieve their goals of dropping excess weight, getting stronger, and being healthier overall.But it was not until gyms were being reopened following the widespread lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic when Mangoba decided to focus on a special group of people.He saw how overworked and stressed many nurses were and wanted to help the frontline workers in his own way.“A lot of my nurse clients have two or three kids, full-time moms, and they’re already scheduled for their work life,&quot; he shared. &quot;[The] 50 to 60 hours, that’s a regular nurse job. Adding physical activity into your life could change the whole dynamic.”Working with nurses has also helped him learn more about the body and its common illnesses, especially within the Filipino community, like diabetes and hypertension.Mangoba laid out some tips to help anyone start the path to a healthier lifestyle.“Just start off by being more mindful with what you consume. From the time you wake up to the time you go to bed, making sure you&#x27;re drinking water, enough water, 70% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.&quot;He added: &quot;I say, eat more fiber, eat more protein, fast for a few days. I don’t mean heavy fast, but at least 10 to 12 hours. Give your digestive system a break from taking all this food, and a lot of fruits.”Mangoba said his appreciation for nurses goes beyond their valuable work during the pandemic — it hits closer to home as his father is dealing with an illness.“I see these nurses caring for him,&quot; the Fil-Am said. &quot;And the only thing I want to do is give back to them, because I see how much they care.”Mangoba hopes the community can make simple lifestyle changes and stay committed to them to lead healthier lives.“I always believe that if you work on your physical body, then your mental [wellbeing] gets better, and then the emotional, and then spiritual. Everything gathers in one,&quot; he added.
