I’ve recently been hearing that many of us in Dubai have been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency, myself included. It strikes me as odd, but I suppose with all the bad press the sun has been getting we’ve all been staying out of the sun or slathering ourselves in a high factor protection. But it got me thinking, I know that my diet is not totally healthy, so what else am I missing out on? Our article on page 92 covers all the vitamins and anti-oxidants we should be

It’s not fair on yourself to expect that you’ll be able to do everything, every day. So think big, dream big, but start small and take one step at a time.” Connector spoke to four women who all spotted a gap in the market and seized the opportunity to launch a business they are passionate about whilst their families were young. Janelle Malone Janelle Malone worked in retail development and analysis for 14 years before rethinking her attitude to money during her pregnancy and Mumpreneurs Inspiring SPECIAL feature I n 2011 SMEs (Small/Medium Enterprises) contributed 60% of the UAE’s GDP, a 100% increase from 2010 according to a report from the UAE Ministry of Economy. Women are playing an increasingly active role in the growth of small businesses, with the number of Mumpreneurs - women who actively balance running their own business with parenthood - surging in the UAE over the past few years. While many have made their mark with family focused products and services, others have used motherhood as a springboard to launch their own business in a different sector all together. On one hand working for yourself seems an attractive option when trying to balance a career with family life, but there are certainly added pressures when it comes to juggling a family and running your own business. Nicola Tanner a life coach with Authenticity Coaching & Consultancy, and a mother of three, says get your support network in place before you start: “One of the most important things to think about has to be help with the children, either a nanny, nursery or the support of your husband, parents and friends. Yes working for yourself offers flexibility but there are plenty of times that you have to make tough choices. Having someone to call on to help you manage these moments is crucial!” www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - May 2013.indd 22 4/24/13 7:04 PM Connector MAY | 23www.mydubaiconnection.com launching her website and blog www.womenmoneyandstyle.com. “I think everyone who has a family experiences a ‘change’ in lifestyle. You want security but you also want to be present and available for your children”, says Janelle. “When I left my retail career and began working for my husband in finance, my own understanding of wealth creation grew and I realised that many women need more information and practical advice in this area. The trick is understanding your spending and I thought to myself women need this written in a voice they understand in the context of everyday life - let’s get to it!” says Janelle. Women, Money & Style is an educational and entertaining look at life, love and wealth for women who want to spend smarter and improve their financial wellbeing. And as the site has evolved Janelle has used her knowledge to create a series of spending guides for mums helping them to live the Dubai life without breaking the bank. According to Janelle “WMS is also a nice reminder that you don’t have to keep up with the Joneses. Everyone’s family is different. Different hobbies, goals and lifestyle preferences. The main thing is staying focused on what’s important to you!” Janelle believes an important part of any parent’s role is educating children about money: “life will always present challenges and if we have taught our kids the skills to deal with life in tough times we have succeeded as parents. Not falling into debt at a young age is one of the greatest benefits that any young person can have”. “I have a lot of flexibility with the way I work, as well as the support from my husband which has been a great help. I think one big challenge is being able to switch off and be present at home when it is ‘family time’ but this is key; after all it is why we chose this lifestyle”. “Small businesses are an ethical force for society on many levels and we are very lucky living in a city like Dubai which is so supportive of the entrepreneur. I would like to see my business grow the same way my children do, through self-love and a lot of learning along the way!” Bubs Kapoor & Elaine Stannard Bubs Kapoor and Elaine Stannard were working in the legal field at the same company when they were pregnant (Elaine with her second child and Bubs with her first). Both were planning to return to their jobs, however, they were made redundant during maternity leave, a situation they both see as a blessing. “I left work the day before going into labour and I was adamant I would be back full-

time before long. In the end that choice was taken away from me but I knew as soon as I held my son that my priorities had changed anyway. You are not number one anymore” says Bubs. The two friends launched Mumcierge in March 2011, a one-stop shop resource and information guide for families in Dubai. As well as being a place to find out about all things baby and child, Mumcierge host weekly coffee mornings with visiting experts such as midwife Cecile De Scally and baby care brand Mustela. Elaine admits that people’s perceptions of ‘mumpreneurs’ can be a challenge: “getting people to take you seriously is an issue. At the end of the day we are a business and the objective is to be profitable. I do believe that having both worked in male dominated environments we find it easier to assert ourselves and keep focused.” Elaine originally moved to the UAE to train as a jockey. Connector Master Layout - May 2013.indd 23 4/25/13 10:05 AM 24 | MAY Connector www.mydubaiconnection.com www.mydubaiconnection.com But for those who are serious about making it work Bubs and Elaine see the mumpreneur movement as an invaluable part of the regional economy: “there is a strong undercurrent of women setting up businesses in Dubai and this has an extremely positive impact on a micro and a macro level. Women are very good at adapting to change and are often better prepared to evolve their business model in response to economic and social challenges. This is vital when it comes to building a business that lasts” adds Bubs. Sumegha Rangwala Sumegha Rangwala is the founder of ‘Toys On Rent’ a unique toy library that allows parents to browse online and rent quality toys for kids from six months to five years old. The company also offer toys for birthday parties, events and exhibitions. “Having worked in the corporate world non stop for many years, I decided to take a break for a year to be with my son as I knew it would be difficult to do justice to both roles.” It was Sumegha’s own experiences of motherhood that made her realise families were spending large amounts on toys and a rental option would fill a clear gap in the market. “When my son Aamir was a year old a very close family friend mentioned to me about the rental concept being very popular back in India and I instantly related to the idea as a mother. With Aamir being our first baby, we had bought so many toys for him and few held his attention for long. The rest just lay in the house occupying space. I did some research assuming that there would be a rental service in the UAE that I could enrol into but there was nothing. And that’s when ‘Toys On Rent’ started taking shape’ explains Sumegha. With over 2000 members ‘Toys On Rent’ has received regional awards recognition having being nominated for the ‘SME - Incredibly Innovative Business Approach Award’ 2010 and the SME ‘Business Star of the Year Award’ 2012. As the business has grown Sumegha has also launched the ‘Rent a Party’ service. Sumegha believes maintaining and developing a successful business is the hard part: “to start a business is still relatively easy once you have an idea and a business plan. To continue, to remain focused, to not give up, and to think big is more difficult. Managing time with your little ones is easier if you have a super supportive husband, good staff at work and an affectionate nanny at home”. “Mumprenuers need to have a business idea they are really passionate about, something that will motivate them and make it easier to delegate childcare and fulfil professional commitments.” “Since my business is child related I usually take my son to most of our deliveries, events, exhibitions and play dates. He sees me discussing ideas, working hard at the site, dealing with my staff and he will start to understand the values of hard work, respect for others and the ways of entrepreneurship.” SPECIAL feature Connector Master Layout - May 2013.indd 24 4/25/13 10:05 AM Migraine High Cholesterol Breast Cancer Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Metabolic Syndrome Type 2 Diabetes Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women and Prostate Cancer in Men Venous Ulcers Depression Obstructive Sleep Apnea Asthma Cardiovascular Disease Hypertension Gastric Reflux (Acidity) Stress Urinary Incontinence Impotence Orthopedic Problems or Degenerative Joint Disease De Bruyne Christiaan, M.D. Specialist General Surgeon (Belgium) Practice limited to obesity surgery Dubai (Jumierah) Roger Batrouni, M.D. Specialist General Surgeon (Belgium) Dubai (Jumierah) New procedure Our expert team also performs gastric balloons and gastric bands.

Connector met up with her to find out more. How did you get started on the pieces? Design has been an integral part of my life for quite some time now and I feel like my inaugural collection is a true reflection of the different influences that have punctuated my creative vision in recent years. My fixation with asymmetric designs which forms the basis of my line - began years ago. It was in 2007, while I was still studying at Paris’ ESMOD International, that I discovered my personal design ethos: to take classic shapes - stemming from our natural environment - and radically transform them, deconstructing and redefining the boundaries of fashion aesthetics. Where did your inspiration come from? In 2008, while I was in New York, I came across Albertus Seba’s book of illustrations, Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Considered one of the 18th century’s greatest natural history achievements, the book features images of a variety of insects drawn by illustrators. Believe it or not, seeing the kaleidoscope of colours on these insects’ carcasses immediately triggered in me a creative outpouring. I vividly remember being completely mesmerised by the complex forms, shapes and patterns captured in the book. It ended up serving as an underlying theme for my collection.

the grilled home-made chorizo with potato salad.

They are typically washed in a chlorine- and-water solution before packaging to provide protection from food borne illnesses by reducing bacteria. Cooking baby carrots is very much like cooking regular carrots, you can add them to any of your favourite dishes. Whether raw, stewed, steamed; they can be consumed as part of a main dish, a side dish or even added to your fresh salads. Antioxidant compounds found in carrots such as beta-carotene and Vitamin C, promote good vision and help protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Makeover-ing and repurposing furniture is a great way to save money and get creative, and maybe even get exactly what you want. Standout signature pieces can be expensive. If you haven’t got an old piece of junk to makeover and want to get creative, why not choose a cheap and simple item like an Ikea side table to start your project with. Making over old or pre-loved pieces 1. A fresh lick of paint - Turn ordinary to extraordinary with a pop of colour. Take an antique look heavy frame mirror; consider spray painting it white or silver for a clean and subtle finish, or fire truck red or canary yellow for a modern look, finishing with a gloss. Or how about a distressed effect eggshell green or blue look achieved by sanding raised areas or edges afterwards. For the best distressed or shabby-chic effect, use multiple coats of different colour paints and sand through the layers when it dries. 2. Replace hardware - Handles and door knobs to studs, nails and corner caps, hardware can transform the look of any piece. 3. Upholster - Upholstering simple seat cushions is one thing, but you may want to leave it to the professionals to tackle the larger items like armchairs and sofas. Repainting furniture quick guide Sanding removes the stain, gloss or paint layers on wooden furniture. Don’t be tempted to skip this step if you want a finish that won’t be prone to chipping. For small areas like chair legs and getting into nooks and crannies, sand paper may do the trick. However, for larger pieces like a table or dresser top, a small electrical sander will work best as it can be time consuming and tiring to do manually. Start off with an 80-100 grit sandpaper until most of the stain is removed, and switch to Connector Master Layout - May 2013.indd 46 4/24/13 7:04 PM Connector Master Layout - MAY ARTWORK FINAL.indd 47 4/24/13 6:51 PM 48 | MAY Connector www.mydubaiconnection.com www.mydubaiconnection.com a 150 grit or higher to smooth and remove any remaining stain. It’s not necessary to sand right down to the wood grain, just enough to remove the sheen so the primer and paint will stick. Remove the residual dust with a damp cloth or vacuum. Priming your piece using spray primer gives a nice even finish, and should be applied in 2-3 thin coats allowing 10 minutes drying time in between. Grey is best to use under dark paint, and white for under lighter colours. Paint depending on the finish you want, and choose from matt, gloss or semi gloss accordingly. Mix the paint well and use a clean, regular bristle brush to apply a thin layer using long strokes. Do not use a foam brush or roller. Applying more thin coats as opposed to fewer thick coats can dramatically affect the quality and durability of the finish. Hardware guide There are three main ways you can update your furniture by replacing or adding hardware. • Handles - swapping wood or brass for chrome handles can bring a dated piece in line with today’s style. • Knobs come in all shapes and sizes so go wild with all the choices - make a statement or match another piece with this simple replacement. • Trim - Adding tacks, bolts or spikes can really make a statement around the rim or legs of a coffee table, chair legs, and on frames or mirrors. Existing old hardware should be removed before painting, and new hardware applied afterwards. Upholstery guide When choosing fabrics for upholstered furniture, keep in mind tightly woven fabrics tend to wear the best. Durability is determined by the number of threads per square inch rather than the thickness of the yarn used. In addition to their look and feel, factors to consider are wearability, cleanability and sensitivity to direct sunlight. You don’t have to go matchy, matchy with the rest of your furniture, so choose a fabric that will complement it instead. Go for bolder patterns on arm chairs and ottomans to create a great statement piece, and play it safer on large sofas. Fabrics like velvet, velour or silk create both a luxurious and a soft and cosy atmosphere, while cottons, linens and wools give a fresh and natural look. Upcycling means to use old items differently than their original intended use… here are some unique repurposing ideas: · Window, door and crate coffee tables - Use an old wooden window frame and glass on simple wooden legs, or an ornate door or wooden crate. · Bar-stool or wine barrel table - Use two old stools to support a plywood top, or place a round glass top on a wine barrel (if you can manage to get your hands on one) for a rustic farmhouse look. · A picture frame tray - Lay the frame face up and just add handles. You can insert fabric, wrapping paper or wallpaper under the glass to creat your desired effect.

Some essential oils have been created for these types of businesses specifically to relax the prospective patients. Selecting specific fragrances, for any particular business, is definitely a personal choice, although some research might be beneficial when making the decision. When you have decided which scent to use, there are several methods to introduce it to the home or workplace. Aromatherapy diffusers are great, because they can be purchased with built-in timers that go off at regular intervals during the day. Some other areas that might benefit from essential oils are schools. Certain oils have been found to increase productivity and sense of wellbeing in the people exposed to the scent. This type of therapy would be a wonderful addition to any environment where behaviour is an issue. Some of the most commonly recommended scents for places of business include vanilla, cinnamon, orange, lavender and lemon. These lovely calming fragrances are very familiar and most people enjoy them. Many of the more exotic essential oils are far less well-known, and can be a little bit of an acquired taste. So next time you enter your home or a place of business take a deep breath and find out what your visitors and colleagues smell. How does the scent make you feel and what impression does it give immediately? Essential oils can make your home and your office much more pleasurable and inviting. T here are countless studies into exactly how aromatherapy benefits us in the various aspects of our lives. Two areas that can be positively impacted by the application of essential oils are the home and the workplace. The way a home or a business smells can definitely effect how the family, customers, or workers feel while they are there. The first impression of any building comes through the nose and this fact could have ramifications on the success or failure of any given place.

By structuring your property into an offshore company, you ensure that Sharia Law will most definitely not apply to your assets and that lengthy probate proceedings are avoided. Since 1st January 2011, the only offshore company that can be used to hold real estate owned in Dubai is the Jebel Ali Offshore Company. This company does not allow you to trade, give you residency nor work permits. The shares of the Jebel Ali Offshore Company can be held in personal names but it is usually better to have the shares held by an offshore company 100% such as those in common law offshore jurisdictions such as the British Virgin Islands. Doing so means that if a death occurs, Sharia Law will not apply as your assets would be held in the name of the offshore entity and not in individual names. The probate process would also take place in foreign courts. The offshore entity can also be designed to suit joint investors. So a group

of investors can hold shares in an offshore entity which ultimately protects their portion of shares in the property. It also provides confidentiality and privacy. Thus providing additional protection for your assets. BUSINESS & legal Opting for offshore property ownership ADVERTORIAL If you already own property, you can transfer all freehold property held in your own personal name into the name of the offshore entity. Being a company, it is considered a legal entity and can own any asset. So bank accounts, stocks and shares and properties in the UAE and internationally can all be held by an offshore company. At any rate, whenever you do decide that the offshore property option is for you, there are legal consultants who can help tailor solutions to best address your concerns so you get to invest and rest easy.

We have all asked a young child ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ yet the emphasis now is on preparing young people for a changing world and giving them the skills and attitudes to deal with whatever they may encounter. Traditionally, schools in the UAE have followed the British National Curriculum (NC), but more schools in Dubai are now adopting the International Baccalaureate (IB). So, what are the main features of these two curriculum models and which one might suit your child’s learning style best? The British National Curriculum Before the age of 5, children follow a play- based curriculum. This puts an emphasis on physical, personal, social and emotional development with listening, understanding and speaking skills to foster good communication. The National Curriculum begins at the age of 5 and students are placed in Key Stages according to their age. • Key Stage One - Years 1 & 2 - 5 to 7 years old. • Key Stage Two - Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 - 7 to 11 years old. • Key Stage Three - Years 7, 8 & 9 - 11 to 14 years old. • Key Stage Four - Years 10 & 11 - 14 to 16 year olds with GCSE examinations. Students then progress to non-compulsory education, Years 12 & 13 where they traditionally take their Advanced Level exams in preparation for higher education such as universities and colleges. The National Curriculum is composed of 10 subjects - English, maths, science, geography, history, design technology, art, physical education and music, while information and communication technology is seen as a subject that is taught across subjects as well as in its own right. Students in Dubai also follow Ministry of Education guidelines concerning Arabic and Islamic Studies. Most schools also teach a third language such as French from Key Stage 2. The International Baccalaureate (IB) The IB offers four programmes for students aged 3 to 19 years. The Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme and the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC). The PYP The PYP is for students aged 3 to 12 years and focuses on developing the child as an enquirer. The curriculum is guided by six interrelated themes of global significance - sharing the planet, who we are, where we are in place and time, how we express ourselves, how we organise ourselves and how the world works, and is explored using knowledge and skills from the arts, social studies, language, sciences, mathematics, and personal, social and physical education. KIDS' corner We are now living in the ‘Information Age’ and education is constantly trying to keep up with an ever-changing world. Globally, school curriculums are responding to the changes in educational needs, and in the UAE, the choice of schools is increasing as the country grows and develops. Connector Master Layout - May 2013.indd 54 4/24/13 7:04 PM Connector MAY | 55www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector MAY | 55 The MYP e Middle Years Programme is for 11 to 16 year olds and contains eight subject groups - humanities, technology, mathematics, arts, sciences, physical education, language A and language B, together with a core made up of ve areas of interaction - approaches to learning, community and service, environment, health and social education and human ingenuity. The Diploma Programme e two-year Diploma Programme is aimed at students aged 16 to 19 and leads to a qualication that is widely recognised by the world’s leading universities. e curriculum contains six subject groups - language A and language B, experimental sciences, the arts, mathematics and computer science and individuals and societies, together with a core made up of three compulsory parts extended essay, theory of knowledge and creativity, action and service. Of the six subjects, three are normally studied at higher level and the remaining three at standard level. The IBCC e IBCC is the newest oering for students aged 16 to 19. It provides a tailored, career- focused pathway made up of internationally recognised IB Diploma courses, approved careerrelated study and a unique IBCC core. e IBCC allows schools to create their own distinct IBCC programmes to meet the needs, backgrounds and contexts of their students. The American Curriculum Parents considering the American curriculum may nd that each school varies slightly in the subjects they oer. is is because in America, local government determines the curriculum. e ages for compulsory education vary from state to state, starting at 5 to 8 and ending between 14 and 18. Education is divided into three levels - elementary, middle school and high school. Schools have to ensure they respond to the No Child left Behind Act so they will all provide the same core subjects such as maths, science and English and students have to take standardised tests in these areas. At elementary and middle, schools tend to introduce children to the broad range of knowledge and skills they need to succeed in life. e major goals are achieving basic literacy and numeracy, as well as establishing foundations in science, mathematics, geography, history and other social sciences. High school focuses on preparing students for higher education and will have the exibility to tailor the subjects that are oered to meet the needs of the students. It is important that parents ask the right questions to make sure that they are fully aware of what is being oered. Comparing the curriculums All three curriculums provide a balanced educational experience if they are taught well, a factor which is down to the organisation and management in individual schools. e IB programme covers much of the traditional knowledge areas of the NC, but in a cross-curricular way, encouraging students to be independent learners and to see the way in which areas of knowledge link to each other. In the rst instance, the NC was more subject based with even young children learning in chunks of knowledge. Current practice is to integrate the subjects where possible and to value the creativity of the student. More importance is placed on how we learn and why we learn, though students are still assessed on their knowledge and understanding of topics covered. e strengths of the IB programme are that children are taught to ask questions and see links between their learning. Students are encouraged to look at the bigger picture and to understand they must be exible in the ways in which they use their knowledge. Connector Master Layout May 2013.indd 55 4/25/13 11:23 AM 56 | MAY Connector www.mydubaiconnection.com www.mydubaiconnection.com The American curriculum has been criticised for not being standardised, which doesn’t allow parents to compare the results of the schools in the same way as the IB or NC. But it could be argued that this allows flexibility for individual schools to meet the needs of its students. As with any schooling system parents need to be assured of a rigorous assessment process which ensures that their child’s needs are being meet and that appropriate progress is being made. Making the right choice for your child As with any choice, choosing a school curriculum is very personal and being informed is important. If you are leaning towards one curriculum type, take the time to find out more. Visit the school to get a feel for their ethos - two schools that teach the same curriculum may feel very different, as the formal curriculum is only part of what schools teach. The so called ‘hidden curriculum’ - how a school functions, how people are treated, if the school is an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment are all important factors to take into consideration. You also need to consider your long-term plans. If you know that you’re returning to, or moving to a country that follows a certain curriculum and that your children will have to work in that model, then it makes sense to follow the same curriculum in the UAE. If you have an older child and know which university they want to go to, it makes sense to follow the curriculum that best suits their future needs. Whatever curriculum you choose, being supportive and involved in your child’s education will help them make the best of the opportunities the school has to offer.

So far DSDP has successfully re-homed 20 dogs and is currently caring for 10 more. Their aim is to bring awareness to the growing number of abandoned and homeless senior dogs and help bridge the gap between transient expats and the dogs they leave behind. Someone to love DSDP encourage and facilitate the adoption or fostering of older dogs, though their philosophy is not just to re-home, but also to educate the community and change the mentality that surrounds senior dogs. These dogs are still in their prime, they are active loving and loyal, so if you are looking for a dog, DSDP want to encourage you to provide a loving home for a senior dog for the rest of its life. Every dog that goes to the Dubai Senior Dog Project receives a thorough medical evaluation from a vet, and the new owner or fosterer is provided with a full health profile as well as any additional support or advice they might need to help them take care of their new best friend. Part of the DSDP’s education programme is to run fun community events with free seminars and adoption days focusing on senior dogs and their care. So if you’re unsure whether you can offer a senior dog a loving home, they invite you to go along to meet the dogs and learn more. Remember you’re never too old to be loved... Anyone that wants to support The Dubai Senior Dog Project is encouraged to play a part helping with whatever skill they can have. You can contact DSDP on www.facebook.com/ Dubaiseniordogproject.

However, what is true and what is not? What causes toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite found in nearly all warm-blooded animals, including pets and humans. Mostly immunodeficient people and pregnant women are at high risk of infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Can I ‘catch’ toxoplasmosis from my cat? The infected cats only shed the oocyst for a few days of their entire life; the chance of human exposure is therefore small. Owning a cat does not mean that you will automatically be infected with toxoplasmosis. In fact, it is very unlikely that you will be exposed to the parasite by touching an infected cat, because cats usually do not carry the parasite on their fur. It is also unlikely that you will become infected through cat bites or scratches. People are much more likely to become infected through eating raw meat, unwashed fruits and vegetables and Toxoplasmosis - the facts through drinking contaminated water, than from handling cats. How will toxoplasmosis affect my cat? When a cat ingests infected raw meat or prey/rodents the parasites will multiply in his intestine and will produce oocysts (little eggs). After a few days, the cat will begin shedding oocysts into the environment. The oocysts passed are not infectious - they need to become active through sporulation, which takes 1-5 days in the environment. What can I do to prevent toxoplasmosis? • Do not eat raw or undercooked meat. • Do not drink unpasteurised milk. • Do not eat unwashed fruits and vegetables. • Wash hands and food preparation surfaces after handling raw meat. • Wash hands after gardening. • Do not drink water from the environment unless it is boiled. • Do not feed cats raw meat. • Remove faeces from the litter box daily. • Pregnant women and people with a suppressed immune system, should not clean the litter box.

Firstly, it is a natural process for ageing skin because as we grow older our skin elasticity gets weaker making it harder for the skin to spring back into place. Other factors can include: • smoking • unprotected sun exposure (UV rays) • stress • poor facial/skin care. Whatever our age, we all want to enjoy the benefits of healthy skin, which is why the anti-ageing skincare industry has become a multi-billion dollar one. The good news is that you can use natural skin care combined with a change in lifestyle to improve the texture, tone, and feel of your skin, and to reduce lines and wrinkles that can make your skin look aged. We have all heard the ‘old wives tales’ and many people treat them with severe skepticism. But, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and many of the home remedies that are regarded as old wives tales really do have substance to them. You can look young without having to refinance your home by using some of these incredibly simple methods. Apple juice You can treat fine lines, fine wrinkles, and cracked skin by applying the juice of green apples to your face each day. You should leave the juice on for around 10 to 15 minutes each day before rinsing off. The aroma and zest of the apples will put a spring in your step while the juices get to work on your skin. Home remedi es for younger skin When we are younger, we all believe that we will have young, supple skin forever. That is why it comes as something of a shock when we look in the mirror one day and see the appearance of the first fine line or wrinkle, which then seems to rapidly spread across the face. BEAUTY & bodycare Home remedies and a healthy lifestyle can help you look and feel younger. apples to your face each day. You should leave the juice on for around 10 to 15 minutes each day before rinsing off. The aroma and zest of the apples will put a spring in your step while the juices get to work on your skin. Connector Master Layout - May 2013.indd 80 4/24/13 7:05 PM Connector MAY | 81www.mydubaiconnection.com Pineapple If you want another fruity way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, you can use the juice or the core of a fresh pineapple. Apply the juice either by hand or by rubbing the core over your face, and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. You can enjoy the tropical aroma of this home remedy while the pineapple juice helps improve the tone and texture of your skin, enabling you to feel fresh and look younger. Nourishing face mask If you want to enjoy a more luxurious home remedy, you can make up your own face mask. This will leave your skin feeling supple and revitalised, and can help you look younger by replenishing your skin. You simply combine a couple of tablespoons of natural whole yoghurt with a tablespoon of pure liquid honey. You then squeeze in some cucumber juice and give the whole mixture a good stir. Chill the mixture in the fridge for a short while. You do not want to get it too cold, but refrigerating for a short wile will help to ‘set’ it so that it won’t slide off your face. Apply the mixture to your face liberally, lie back, pop a couple of cucumber slices onto your eyes to soothe them, and simply relax for about 15 minutes. Afterwards, rinse the facemask off your face and pat dry. You can then moisturise your face, leaving your skin smoother, softer, and suppler. You can do this a couple of times a week to help keep your skin nourished and replenished. Cucumber If you are having problems with discoloured age spots, you may find that cucumber juice is very effective in bleaching them out. Simply combine cucumber juice with water (one tablespoon of juice to two tablespoons of water), and apply to the affected areas twice daily. Dab the solution on in the morning and at night, and allow to dry on the affected area. Papaya juice This fruit contains an enzyme that can remove dead surface skin. So if you have rough skin or blemishes, fresh papaya juice rubbed into the skin can remove the affected skin and leave you with softer, smoother skin. When talking about home remedies in relation to skin care, many people instantly imagine creams, potions and lotions. However, part of helping your skin look younger is combining remedies like the ones above with an improved lifestyle and some other simple procedures. By following the steps below you can enjoy younger looking skin for longer: Massage A five minute facial massage each day can help to keep your skin looking younger and wrinkle-free for longer. You should take off all make-up, wash your face, and remove any excess oils by using a suitable cleanser (or use the juice from a fresh lime to do this). Starting from your neck up, gently yet firmly massage in an upward motion right up to your hairline. Once you have done this, rinse your face and apply a suitable moisturising cream or lotion. When you apply your cream or lotion, apply it in using the same upward motion so that it is massaged into the skin.

It is vital to drink around eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin in top condition. Diet Your diet can have a surprising effect on the condition of your skin. Most people associate rich, fatty foods with weight gain and sluggishness, but these foods can also result in poor skin condition. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, and Vitamin E rich foods can help to keep your skin in good condition and help keep signs of ageing at bay. Protection from the sun The UV rays from the sun can have a very harmful effect on the skin, and not only do unprotected sun worshipper’s risk cancer, but they are also likely to see their skin wrinkle and age very prematurely depending on the amount of time spent in the sun. You should try and avoid being out in the intense midday sun at all, as this is when the heat and rays are at their strongest. However, whatever time of day you go out, you should wear an appropriate SPF sunscreen or moisturiser to stop your skin from burning and losing elasticity. Quit smoking If you smoke, you have probably heard many reasons why you should give up this habit. One of them is that smoking ages your skin prematurely and leaves you with deep and numerous wrinkles. Quitting smoking can help you enjoy younger looking skin for longer, as well as improve your health. Reduce stress Stress is another factor that can affect our skin and leave us looking and feeling old before our time. In order to try and enjoy younger looking skin, you need to take the time to relax and destress. Make sure that you put a little time aside each day to really relax and get things into perspective. Whether your idea of pure relaxation is a long, luxurious bubble bath or curling up with a good book, take the time to try and relax each and every day. The tips above are designed to help you make the most of your precious skin, and to keep it looking and feeling good for as long as possible. By combining the simple skin treatments listed earlier with the lifestyle tips outlined above, you could enjoy more resilient, supple and fresher looking skin. These steps are really simple and cost next to nothing to try. Taking five or ten minutes a day to look after your skin can make a real difference to its appearance. By keeping your skin clean, well nourished, hydrated, and moisturised you should be able to make it look and feel softer, smoother, and younger than ever. BEAUTY & bodycare Use these tips to enjoy younger, fresher and more rejuvenated skin.

I sat under the LED light for a total of 30 minutes, after which the mouthpiece was removed and I rinsed my mouth out to remove any residual gel. What are the results?

It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and sunspots, leaving a renewed and revitalised layer of skin.

I am half way through the recommended 18 sessions, and have already lost a dress size and a total of 21cm all over, with the greatest loss being around my waist and stomach. This has to be the easiest way to lose body fat, and it is certainly working for me. How much? The Quick Body Design package consists of 18 sessions of Hypoxi or 12 sessions of Vacunaut for Dhs 2,400.

If you are looking for a safe, mild, non-surgical chemical facial peel that helps to reverse the signs of ageing, I can highly recommend Obagi Blue Peel Radiance at Obagi MedSpa, at Dubai Mall. What’s it for? Developed by a dermatologist, this chemical peel is performed by a dermatologist and provides instant rejuvenation by eliminating the effects of ageing, sun damage, and other skin conditions. Surface layers of dead skin cells are exfoliated and replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface. What’s involved? Following an indepth skin consultation and product history, the blue peel is applied onto the skin, using a slow acting TCA chemical (Trichloracetic Acid) that enables the dermatologist to control the peel process and depth. The procedure takes no longer than 30 minutes and is virtually painless, except for a slight hot and tingly feeling. With no downtime I was able to return to the office immediately after the treatment. What are the results? The results are fabulous. My skin immediately looked radiant, smoother, tighter, and younger. A few days later I noticed some slight flakey peeling and a week later my skin was looking better than I have ever remembered it. After a month, I am extremely happy with the overall improvement in my skin’s texture and tone. How much? The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance costs Dhs 425 to Dhs 1,000 depending on the number of coats applied. For further details call Obagi MedSpa on 04-3397060. -L.P.

One is the agricultural practice of using chemicals which affect the vitamin content in food as the potency of the vitamins diminishes the minute they are cultivated. “Actually, the cooking method has the most damaging effect on vitamins and minerals in food”, he says. Cooking vegetables over 60°C will damage the structure of most vitamins which is why it is advisable to lightly steam vegetables instead. “When your body does not get enough vitamins, you can suffer serious deficiencies as vitamins are essential nutrients required for growth, reproduction and overall health”, says Amera Varghese, Dietician at Mediclinic Welcare Hospital. ANTi-OxiDANTS Free radicals are formed from damaged molecules in the cells, explains Safah. “They are implicated in over 60 different diseases and can be broken down into five types, but they all have similarly damaging effects to the cells”. These are also capable of damaging almost any organic molecule in its vicinity, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and LDL which is good cholesterol. Therefore antioxidants, says Safah, are nature’s way of defending our cells against attack by free radicals. Many antioxidants can be identified in food by their distinctive colours - the deep red of cherries and of tomatoes; the orange of carrots; the yellow of corn, mangos, and saffron; and the blue-purple of blueberries, blackberries and grapes. ViTAMiNS & ANTi- OxiDANT supplements we should all be taking SUPPLEMENTS Natural Astaxanthin Astaxanthin is found in a class of naturally occurring pigments called carotenoids which are powerful antioxidants that are crucial for health. Carotenoids are the compounds in foods that give you vibrant colour - from green grasses to red beets, to the spectacular yellows and oranges of bell peppers. Astaxanthin is by far the most powerful carotenoid antioxidant when it comes to free radical scavenging as it is 65 times more powerful than Vitamin C, 54 times more powerful than beta-carotene, and 14 times more powerful than Vitamin E. Vitamin E Vitamin E, says Varghese, plays a key role in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of cell membranes. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, supports healthy cells and is essential for the immune system, skin, and the lungs, and is found naturally in cod-liver oil, hazelnuts, peanut butter, safflower oil and sunflower seeds. Vitamin D Vitamin D supplements may lower the risk of death from a variety of causes, according to a European study, says Safah. “Because Vitamin D can reduce the proliferation of cells, which occurs in cancer, researchers believe their finding could lead to new drugs to fight cancer and other illnesses”. Vitamin D helps your body to uptake calcium for optimal bone health. From Vitamin C to calcium and anti-oxidants, as Mary Sullivan discovers, there are actually some specifically important vitamins and anti-oxidants we should be consuming to boost our health. Connector Master Layout May 2013.indd 92 4/24/13 7:06 PM Connector MAY | 93www.mydubaiconnection.com Fish oil From all of the omega-3 and fish oil available, Safah suggests that the best source of fish oil is Krill oil, which is the main food intake of whales. “Krill oil benefits health in many ways; including cognitive functions like concentration, memory and learning”, he says. “It also helps with blood sugar regulation and also helps fighting signs of ageing.” Many other benefits include supporting healthy brain and nervous system function and development, protection for cell membranes and boosting your immune system. Lutein and Glucosinolates Both of these can help reduce the risk of strokes, protect against cancer, improve memory, and even promote healthy ageing, says Varghese. These are found in purple cabbage, blueberries, blackberries, black grapes, raisins, eggplant, and plums. Astragalus This is a unique immunity boosting herb native to China and Mongolia that also boosts cardiovascular health. According to Safah, astragalus works by preventing fatty plaque deposits in arteries, allowing blood to flow freely and preventing fats from being absorbed from the intestines, facilitating their accelerated evacuation from the body. B vitamins

preventing fats from being absorbed from the intestines, facilitating their accelerated evacuation from the body. B vitamins Each B vitamin is essential to certain bodily functions, notes Safah; B1 and B2 are important for healthy functioning of the muscles, nerves, and heart while B3 helps regulate the nervous and digestive systems. B5 and B12 are required for normal growth and development and B6 supports the immune system and aids the body in breaking down protein. B7 is involved in the production of hormones while B9 helps cells make DNA. Curcumin Curcumin has been used since ancient times to treat disorders from arthritis and digestive problems, to urinary complaints. It was also used to treat ‘low energy’ and a variety of skin and wound conditions. “Thousands of research papers have been written on the potential medical benefit of curcumin”, says Safah. These studies have shown that curcumin is not only an anti-oxidant but also an anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, antifungal, and even anti-cancerous. Coenzyme Q10 Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that plays a major role in energy production in all cells, says Safah. “The energy required to perform different functions is generated with the assistance of CoQ10”, he says. As we grow older, CoQ10 levels decrease, making it important to take CoQ10 supplements that help in rebalancing levels of this essential enzyme. Deficiency might cause heart problems and even severe metabolic dysfunctions. Resveratrol Resveratrol can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and even decrease the risk of cancer, says Varghese. It is found naturally in bananas, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, cauliflower, garlic, ginger and turnips.

Calcium is essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones, muscles and teeth. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to various musculoskeletal conditions including rickets (soft, weakened bones) in children and osteoporosis in older adults. Although Vitamin D is present in some foods, the amounts are generally not enough to maintain the necessary Vitamin D levels that the body needs. In fact, the body produces most of the Vitamin D it needs when the skin is exposed to direct sunlight. However, take caution to not cause the skin to redden or burn as ultraviolet radiation is the main cause of skin cancer. Most people are able to get enough Vitamin D through exposure to sunlight during normal day-to-day outdoor activities. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin found in food but the most important source is the human body itself which can produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunshine (ultraviolet B light). The tendency to avoid sunlight, combined with insufficient dietary intake of Vitamin D, is leading to the recurrence of condition such as rickets in children, because of pregnant women avoiding sunshine. Of course, we all need to be careful, especially Caucasians, when outdoors in the sunshine and use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer HEALTHY living and photoageing. However, 5 to 15 minutes of midday sun exposure without sunscreen, depending on skin type, on the arms, hands, legs or back, two to three times per week should be enough to provide adequate Vitamin D. After the initial 5 to 15 minutes, a sunscreen should be used. However, infants less than six months old should be kept out of direct sunlight. The recommended daily requirement of Vitamin D rises with age and so older people should be especially aware of the need for controlled exposure. People who have an increased risk of Vitamin D deficiency include babies born to women with a Vitamin D deficiency, children and adults who get little exposure to sunlight, skin cancer patients, people who cover most of their body or who are unable to get out in the sun, those with darker skin, frail older people, and people with some medical conditions such as certain bowel diseases. Anyone who believes they are at risk of Vitamin D deficiency should take a simple blood test, after consulting their physician, and then develop a programme to increase the daily amount of Vitamin D, through dietary supplements and exposure to the sun. Patients with a history of skin cancer should maintain their Vitamin D by taking Vitamin D supplements.

Dr Huafei Li, an acupuncture doctor based in Dubai explains, “I’ve treated many patients who come to me because they would like to quit smoking but feel they can’t do it on their own and need extra help. Acupuncture helps by reducing the craving when patients are trying to quit. I take specific acupoints to disrupt the addiction and help cleanse the patients lungs. Most patients find that if they are tempted to have a cigarette after their first treatment there is a dramatic difference in the taste and smell of their cigarette which gives a negative effect. Acupuncture also helps cleanse nicotine and other chemicals that smokers build up in their bodies’ over the years. I also advise patients on the kind of food and drinks they should be eating to reduce the cravings”. Acupuncture for smoking addiction is most effective after five to ten treatments during the first two weeks of quitting, with patients having a higher success rate. How well a patient does also depends on will power and self control, so it is also important that the patient is really committed to wanting to give up smoking. Every year many smokers try quitting but fail. There are many reasons for this. Smoking is said to one of the hardest addictions to quit, but it does not have to be that way. There are serious long term illnesses you may get from smoking, such as cancer and heart disease. Think about how much better you will feel after quitting, running around with your children will be easier because your lungs will be cleaner and your body healthier. Be sure you really want to quit and get started. You have plenty to lose by smoking and everything to gain by quitting. With thanks to Dr Huafei Li, who treats patients for all kind of problems including smoking addiction, chronic pain, infertility problems (support for IVF), PCOS, uterine fibroids, menopause and more at a leading medical centre in Dubai. and smoking addiction Whether you are a social smoker or a lifetime pack-a-day smoker, quitting can be tough. But with the determination and the right game plan tailored to your needs, you can replace your smoking habits, manage your cravings, and join the millions of people who have kicked the habit for good.

Not surprisingly, our weight has followed right along with it. A huge part of the problem is that people tend to eat what is in front of them, whether they are hungry or not. To fight this problem, it is important to find reasons to cut down on what you put on your plate in the first place. Portion size is a major contributor to weight problems, whether you eat out or at home. Restaurants serve huge plates of food, consisting of several servings per person, making it easy to go way past the recommended amount per meal. It does not stop when you eat at home. It has been estimated that portion sizes in the past 20 years have increased in restaurants and at home by as much as 50%. Today, the average person eats 200 more calories each day than in the 1970s. Many store bought cookies are now more than seven times bigger than the recommended serving size. Did you know that a typical dinner plate holds three servings of spaghetti, not just one? When you fill up your entire plate with food, you are likely eating more than you bargained for. On the bright side, portion size is something you can change, without getting rid of your favourite foods. All it takes is a few simple habits to control how much you eat during a sitting. Dining out • Order an appetiser as an entree (main dish). Remember to stay away from fried foods though. • Split/share an entree with another person. • Order from the lunch menu at dinner time. • Leftovers are okay. Feel free to wrap up half your meal to go. • Order smaller sizes such as a halforder of pasta or a ‘petite’ cut of meat. Even so, portions may still be hefty. It is not unusual for a ‘smaller’ portion of meat to be an 8-ounce serving. • In fast food restaurants avoid ‘extra value’ or ‘super size’ meals, unless you split it with a friend. A regular small hamburger is usually equivalent to one serving of meat and two servings of grain. At home • Set the table with smaller plates. Since you cannot fit as many servings on your plate, filling the whole plate is no big deal. Smaller dishes also make the food look bigger, which has a proven effect on your level of hunger. • Skip seconds and get out the Tupperware. • Divide single serving portions ahead of time, in sealable bags or containers. • Read the packaging! Follow the recommended serving size and eat only one. • Eat foods that curb hunger: oranges, apples, oatmeal, fish, brown rice and whole-wheat pasta. With thanks to Carole Holditch of Good Habits.

Drum for health Community drumming is a great way to unify with others and also to de-stress and energise and get into rhythm. The origin of the word rhythm is Greek meaning “to flow”. When our lives are experiencing dissonance and disharmony, we limit our capacity to resonate with the natural rhythms of life. Drumming gives us a way to feel the beat needed to feel connected and balanced, rather than isolated and out of sync. It also helps people express and address emotional issues. Unexpressed feelings and emotions can form energy blockages, and the physical stimulation of drumming helps to remove blockages and produces emotional release. Drumming induces a relaxed alpha state, lowers blood pressure and reduces stress and promotes the production of endorphins and endogenous opiates, the body’s own morphine- like pain killers, and can thereby help to control pain. Recent studies also suggest that drumming circles boost the immune system. In a specific study conducted by Barry Bittman, MD, group drumming actually increases cancer-killing cells, which help the body combat cancer as well as many other viruses. Drum Circles also provide an opportunity for participants to feel connected with others and gain a sense of interpersonal support. A drum circle provides an opportunity to connect with your own spirit at a deeper level and share your rhythmic spirit with others. There are great benefits to feeling connected to others, so get out and drum. Dubai Drums host community drum circles at Dubai Marina Mall every Thursday from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. It’s a great family activity and complimentary courtesy of the mall.

SCORPIO 23 Oct - 21 Nov If you need to clear the air with loved ones about a matter that may have been bothering you do so on 10th when the new Moon appears in a partner’ house. They should be open to a fresh approach then, but you really do need to tell them exactly how you feel. If you want to get them on your side the only way is to be completely honest. SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov - 21 Dec A busy workload may find you working in isolation and separated from your domestic environment causing feelings to run high. With the Sun, Venus, and Mercury all in your house of partners after the 21st the atmosphere should bring loving understanding and great communication skills; the outcome is likely to be pleasing revelations. CAPRICORN 22 Dec - 19 Jan Four planets in the creative area of your chart suggests involvement in amusing pleasures and the young in general. Resist entertaining other people and let them do the organising of events instead. It might be advisable to also resist sudden infatuations, which may inflate your emotions unnecessarily around the time of the full Moon on the 25th. AQUARIUS 20 Jan - 17 Feb Cautious Saturn in the uppermost area of your chart is likely to find you taking life more seriously than you would normally. You can’t be in two places at the same time and may have to suppress emotions about the lack of time you spend in domestic areas. Fortunately family individuals should happily fulfill your responsibilities. PISCES 18 Feb - 19 Mar Now would be a good time to study meditation and do some work on the inner-self, whilst Neptune, your solar ruler, is in Pisces and making a brilliant aspect to Saturn, a planet which suggests concentration. Alternatively, busy yourself after the 21st communicating with any overseas siblings, or friends who may have moved recently. ARIES 20 Mar - 19 Apr Your solar ruler, hot and fiery Mars, makes a brilliant aspect to deep, intense Pluto, so you may expect to be seen to have a fighting spirit. Changes you plan are likely to come to fruition as you aim to achieve a very high level of success. Avoid quarrels with kindred by using your considerable literary skills where required and put explanations in writing.
