1) Dad deserves to look his best. Go beyond a bottle of cream – present him with an aesthetic device that fits into his glass or leather repository along with the pens, whiskey or his watch.
2) In-between meetings, Dad gets a quick facial perk.
3) Our Roller and Serum are hot items right now. Coinciding with the month of Father’s Day, the set will be available onboard Singapore Airlines. 4) Handcrafted from terahertz ores, the diamond-cut Roller transmits terahertz waves which help penetrate the Serum 10 times deeper into skin, acting on the cellular level for optimum results.
5) Softens frown lines, smooths wrinkles, lifts sagging cheeks, tightens enlarged pores, reduces acne scars & brightens skin.
6) Perfect for tired eyes. Dad can roll all the way down his closed eyes, from eye lids down to eye bags, as well as on the crow’s feet. Soothing and refreshing.

Results vary from individual to individual.

GOOD SLEEPING HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
In the last two issues, we’ve identified the causes of insomnia and discussed in-depth treatment for the condition. In this last instalment, we list pointers for practising sleep hygiene, which is important for making sleep work for you, not against you.
Having proper and adequate sleep is important, both in terms of duration and quality. For example, someone whose mind is overactive might still fall asleep, but the quality is compro-mised and he/she will wake up not feeling refreshed. Every one of us will have to find out for ourselves how many hours we each need to sleep in order to function optimally the next day. For example, young adults usually need six to eight hours of sleep a day.
Having good sleeping habits is part of a healthy lifestyle.
PITFALLS TO AVOID
1) Avoid ca�eine some hours before sleeping. However, there are some who consume ca�eine and still sleep soundly.
2) Avoid drinking water before sleep, for this contributes to intermittent waking as we discussed in the last issue. An individual could wake up to visit the bathroom and upon returning to bed,they cannot sleep anymore.
3) Avoid rigorous exercise a few hours before sleep. This again varies from individual to individual, as some can sleep soundly after exercise.
4) Avoid surfing the Internet or watching videos just before falling asleep. These activities stimulate and arouse the mind instead of relaxing it, making it di�cult for the individual to fall asleep.
5) If your partner snores, get ear plugs.
6) Stick to your biological clock. Try to sleep and wake up around the same time every day. If you discover you sleep best around midnight, make this a perma-nent feature. Wake up at 7am or 8am.
Don’t shortchange yourself. Many individuals try to ‘stretch’ their biological clock by completing last minute work way past midnight. This way, they are shortchanging their sleep.
For example, it’s past bedtime and you think to yourself: “Let me take two hours to complete my task.”
So you go ahead and complete your task, causing a disruption to your biological clock. As a result, you wake up feeling tired and listless. You might’ve gained two hours, but you end up losing a whole day because you’re too tired.

With sheer determination and the availability of alternatives to unhealthy food intake, Leon Lim, a teacher, opted for a different lifestyle and got the

Facets: I heard you lost 6kg, healthily. Could you share a few pointers as to how you did it despite your busy schedule as a teacher?
LL: I think that living a healthy lifestyle is a choice. I wanted to create a transformation for myself this year and in order to achieve it, I increased my productivity at work, and also committed to a workout regime. In addition, there was a lot of discipline required in adjusting my food intake as well.
Facets: Is this your target weight loss? Moving on, what do you intend to do?
LL: This is not the end of my journey. I am still in the midst of losing more weight. However, I understand that many years of unhealthy lifestyle cannot be undone within a few months. I think that this will be an ongoing process for me, but I would like to achieve a further 15kg weight loss by the end of the year.
Facets: Can AlmondPlus be a part of your weight loss journey?
LL: I feel that AlmondPlus was indeed helpful in my journey due to a few reasons.
Firstly, I did not have the habit of consuming breakfast in the past and I used to have heavy meals at night instead. Therefore, having this convenient and nutritious ‘Meal in A Bottle’ as a replacement for breakfast was really helpful for me.
Secondly, as I was working out 3 times a week at the gym, Almond-Plus sometimes served as a pre- or post-workout snack which energised me after the exercise.
Facets: Do you su�er hunger pangs?
LL: I don't su�er from hunger pangs but I do have cravings from time to time. I do give in to my cravings but in moderation. I think that weight loss shouldn't be a painful process in the area of dieting, however, one must have a limit to how much food he/she intakes.
Facets: One might assume that with less food intake, energy levels are down. What was it like in your case?
LL: I think for me, eating less of the junk and processed foods made me more energised as my body is relatively ‘cleaner’ compared to the past. I also felt fuller quicker and AlmondPlus was pretty filling as it has the fibres from Quinoa, Sesame and Chia Seeds.
Facets: Is AlmondPlus a rare find? Have you come across similar products that are just as good, taste and health wise?
LL: I think AlmondPlus is a rare find as I have previously tried meal replacement shakes which tasted artificial and did not make me feel satisfied after drinking them. Facets: Which aspects of your daily life does AlmondPlus have an e�ect on?
LL: AlmondPlus has helped me regulate my meals as I can take it as a meal replacement or workout snack when I am unable to make time to consume a full meal.

TALE ASOLD AS TIME
In our second instalment on LOFE Arch Support FOOTPRINT, now
available in Singapore for the first time, we discuss some time-honoured aspects that
focus on the sole, some of which date back to the Chinese medical practice of acupuncture.
The Chinese medical practice of acupuncture and foot reflexology place significant emphasis on the feet, for good reason too. These ancient practises just cannot overemphasise the importance of the feet being an integral yet overlooked part of the health system pertaining to the entire body. In Chinese medicine, what happens to the feet relates to overall health. Walking alone involves a force equating to several hundred tonnes weighing down on the feet, not to mention that the feet have the sole purpose of dispersing shock.
As a result, the feet are susceptible to injury, pain and other ailments.
Feature
13
Problem in the feet and sole may not be contained to the lower part of the body, and may lead to hip, knee and lower back pain, which subsequently may include shoulder and neck pain, causing even headaches.
The acupuncture point of yong quan, or “gushing spring” is located near the centre of the sole. Because the feet tread on the ground, road, mountains, etc. they come into contact with energy and similar activities pertaining to other individuals who tread the same place. Thus, with acupuncture on yong quan, the kidney meridian is unlocked, hence setting forth “gushing springs.”
The kidney meridian, from its beginning position at yong quan, moves upwards to the leg, the abdomen and chest. As an acupuncture point, yong quan forms the basis to treat disorders in the head and neck, and also to revive consciousness.
Such is the power that lies at the sole of the feet, that when acupressure is applied to yong quan, most feel a sense of relaxation and calm.

How the previous information relates to LOFE Arch Support FOOTPRINT is a 360° knowledge of ancient medical analysis combined with insole arch support’s German surgery roots. Research on diabetic patients who lost their toes prompted an aid for them to walk with less di�culty, and to walk with balance.
The research in 1960s was conducted according to the shape of the arch of the sole.
Arch support was subsequently born, supporting the arch of the feet in an optimal state, and dispersing shock so that it provides a sense of stability, balance and ease during walking.
While acupuncture treats pain and it subsequently has a host of benefits, LOFE Arch Support FOOTPRINT is a proven and e�ective sole companion that not only brings pain relief but even corrects your posture.
In addition, the Arch Support is made from 27 materials (secret formula) that properly fit your feet, and is strong enough to support your entire body even if you are overweight.
LOFE Arch Support FOOTPRINT keeps the stability of the back of the foot and reduces pressure from walking.
Ultimately, it achieves equilibrium for the entire body.

“When I play golf, each movement is asymmetric. Eventually, the body will be distorted and it is hard to regain the correct posture. What is more, on tourna-ment, I have to tread around quickly. A senior golfer told me about LOFE Arch Support. When I tried it, he asked me ‘What’s your first impression’? (Laughs) Immediately my feet felt lighter. As a result, I went to have my pair of insole LOFE Arch Support customised.
I used to su�er from fatigue. You know, the fatigue that comes after each round of golf. Now, my body has regained support from the sole and upwards, and the feeling of stability has increased. The degree of fatigue after each round of golf has also decreased dramatical-ly. I’ve regained my joy for ‘continual golfing’. I am too lucky. Now, the generation of mature golfers as well as junior golfers can both bask in the joy of walking, the joy of golfing.”
- Pro Golfer Eriko Gejyo
“I was not able to play golf anymore. LOFE Arch Support is like a ‘saviour’ that turned my life around. I su�ered from hallux valgus; my feet were so bad. As professional golfers, the day-to-day routine is intensive. Pain occurs in the waist, knees and feet. My feet swelled. I got massages, but they didn’t help. I started to wear the insole Arch Support and a few months later, my second LOFE Arch Support feet analysis showed a vast improvement from my first analysis.
My heels improved, and LOFE Arch Support spread an even distance between the toes. I could step on the ground without di�culty. Now that I can continue to play golf, I can also travel and shop without hesitation. Recently, I’ve also gone trekking. The enjoyment of life spreads. I am ‘greedy.’ I want it all (laughs)!”

Been there, done that? How would you like to chase your dreams once more, by sleeping on ice? This is no mere bucket list as you head to Torne River in Jukkasjärvi, north of Sweden. Ice is cut from the
River and crafted into an entire structure.
SLEEP ON ICE
Where the midnight sun doesn’t rise above the horizon for two weeks in winter, you can find the small village of Jukkasjärvi.
Here, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Nature is untouched, amounting to about 6,000 lakes and six grand rivers. One of these rivers is the Torne, that freezes from water to ice. There is enough ice to build an entire hotel.
When fall turns to winter, the IceHotel ‘opens’ its doors. Activities like skiing, husky sledding, aurora (northern lights) tours and ice sculpting are on the agenda, as well as sleeping in the unique hotel and artistic project that is totally made of ice and snow – called the IceHotel.
When the hotel melts in the spring sun, the ice turns into water and returns to the Torne River again. IceHotel is located on the banks of one of the cleanest waters in Europe; in fact, the water is so clean you can drink it straight from the river bank.
Sleeping on Ice – How does it Work?
Every year, about 50,000 guests from all over the world experience the IceHotel. There are two ways of spending the night, in the hotel rooms crafted from ice and snow or in the warm cabins. Most visitors stay one night in a “cold” accommodation and the other nights in a warm accommodation.
So how do you survive a night on ice?
When arriving at Jukkasjärvi and IceHotel, guests are checked in at a separate desk in a building adjacent to the hotel. This building is exclusive for guests staying in the cold accommodation and works as a convenience hub – there is no storage or plumbing inside IceHotel, except for in the deluxe suites – so all these facilities are housed in here. There is also a sauna and a relaxation area with a roaring fire and hot lingonberry juice on tap. Sta�ed and open 24 hours, the reception-ist helps with warm outer clothing and shows the guests around.
An IceHotel guide holds a “survival course” in the evening for guests staying the night in the
hotel. The course includes how to dress appropriately and how to line the bed with Arctic sleeping bags. The sleeping bags are made for temperatures as low as -25°C, but the temperature inside the hotel never falls below -5°C, so they are more than su�cient to keep guests warm.
There are no doors to the art suites, snow and ice rooms, so in the morning, a member of sta� draws the curtain that covers the doorway and wakes guests up with hot lingonberry juice in bed. When checking out or moving into the warm accommodation, guests are given a diploma stating the date and temperatures within and without IceHotel on the night of accommodation.
Says Christian Wunder, Guest Services: “Many of our guests have neither slept in a sub-zero hotel nor in a sleeping bag before – so some of them are slightly nervous before it’s time to go to bed. But they usually wake up in the morning, pleasantly surprised at how good they slept in the crisp air!”
