Health Talk – BRAND’S® ActivMove

Personally for me, I don’t have any problem with my joints yet, but I do know how crucial it is for people like myself who works out almost everyday, to take good care of my joints to maximize effectiveness of my workouts as age catches up. Despite not suffering from any pain yet, I have been taking glucosamine supplements on a regular basis to prevent premature joint injury/problem!

Why joint care?

Our joints carry our weight and allow us to move effortlessly through our daily lives, but there is very little awareness that our joints deteriorate with age. Everyday movement such as walking and climbing can increase the wear and tear of our joints which lead to joint aches and pains.

Did you know that according to SingHealth*, the most common form of joint pains (Osteoarthritis), affects an estimated 40% of the adult population? Of these, only 10% seek medical advice!

Joint pains can be emotionally frustrating and depressing as they cause physical discomfort and restrict daily activities. Joint health does not discriminate and can affect us at any point of our life, even at a young age. Taking early precautions to protect our joints will allow us to continue the active lifestyle that we love and enjoy!

BRAND’S® ActivMove

I switch from my regular glucosamine supplements to BRAND’S® ActivMove recently since I was sent a pack try out! Let me share more about the supplements with you!

BRAND’S® ActivMove with Flexi-Boost® is formulated as a total solution for joint maintenance and protection. It provides 360° joint protection as it supplies our joints with nutrients, protects our joints from further deterioration and promotes self-repair!

BRAND’S® ActivMove with Flexi-Boost® formulation contains UC-II® and Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen that alleviates joint pain to help you perform at your best. UC-II® (40mg) has been scientifically proven to be 2X more effective than glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate combined!

Enough of the facts and technical terms, BRAND’S® ActivMove will be a great addition to your daily supplement, not limited to just the elderly. Joint problems can occur in youths and adults alike, who like myself, participate in regular rigorous physical activities indoor and outdoor.

Look at how small the tablet is! I’m not picky with sizes of my supplements as I’m rather used to taking multiple supplements at one seating but the BRAND’S® ActivMove mini tablets are really mini and it’s super easy to consume!

BRAND’S® ActivMove is available at Watsons, Guardian, Unity Pharmacy and do also check out the online store for their current bundled promotion! It’s time to care for your joints before it’s too late so I strongly encourage you guys to sign up for a free 10-day trial or go ahead and purchase BRAND’S® ActivMove if you like! After trying, share your review and stand a chance to win $100 worth of BRAND’S® products!

Shoot with ZAN Magazine

Few months back, I had the privilege to do a photoshoot with ZAN Magazine to feature a series of 4 editions of workouts and it was a first time for me, before I was approached to do another video and photoshoot with SAF. 
We headed one afternoon to the photographer's place and I was happily admiring and wow-ing at the industrial theme in his home. Love how raw and earthy everything looked, though its not something I would like for my upcoming home. Still pretty! We started the shoot soon after and it was a breeze, I was very glad!
We started with the different workouts for different editions, targeting different body parts every month for 4 issues. It was just simple bodyweight workouts that you can do at home on your own! Will show you guys the actual workouts at the end of the post so stay tuned!

We ended with a couple of profile shots! Love theses behind the scene shots taken by Christina, I looked so chill! :D

And here, for those who have not seen the magazines..

Have fun working out in preparation for Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D

Health Talk – The Freedom to Move starts with Anlene

I remembered writing about how important calcium is especially for women and I cannot emphasize how much more important it is! Allow me to reiterate the main benefits of calcium:
- helps build strong teeth
- avoid risk of Osteoporosis
- bone health to give us the freedom to move
- needed for muscles to function

Anlene

Anlene Powder is the Number #1 Adult Milk Powder brand in Singapore. 

With a 20-year track record as the leading bone health product in Asia, the brand’s mission is to raise awareness to the importance of bone health to retain our mobility, in order to pursue our passions and live life to the fullest. Anlene products are enriched with a scientifically-formulated mix of calcium and other essential bone nutrients which include vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium to ensure enhanced calcium absorption and bone strength. Anlene has twice as much calcium as regular milk. 

Anlene Concentrate 

Besides the usual powder format, Anlene Concentrate (liquid format in 110ml packs) was launched in Singapore in 2010, providing a highly differentiated “4x Calcium than regular fresh milk” proposition to consumers. You only require 2 packets of Anlene Concentrate milk for your 100% daily calcium needs. There are 4 available delicious flavours - Fat Free with Collagen, Chocolate, Vanilla and Black Sesame. 

I’m slightly lactose-intolerant since recent years so this works best for me when I take them as early in the day as possible. The bloating usually goes away later in the day so its perfect! 

I realized we all have a general conception that Anlene is only taken by the elderly. As mentioned time and time again, Calcium is key for all ages and we really need to start taking care of our bones while we are still young! The Anlene Concentrate is very convenient for me, especially on early mornings when sleep is more important than waking at 4-5am to prepare breakfast. I put 1-2 packets of the Anlene Concentrate into my bag I’m ready to go! It will be perfect for busy-working women and PMEBs, no more finding excuse of not having enough time for a quick breakfast! 

DO check out Anlene’s website (http://synad3.nuffnang.com.sg/gtrack/click/14555) too for promotions, recipes and chances for you to win and try the Anlene Concentrates! :D 

Here’s a contest for you to win 10x Anlene goodie bag for winners, worth $50 each! Input your answer in the comments box with your email address. Correct answers would be chosen at random. 

Question: When should you start taking care of your bones? 

Choose the correct answer:

c. TODAY! 

Good luck and have fun! :D

Oral Talk – DENTISTE’

Most people experience bad breath first thing in the morning and I personally find it a huge turnoff. I never knew that would be a solution for this! DENTISTE' kindly sent J and I a bunch of products to try and one of it is the Nighttime Toothpaste. I was skeptical at first, until I started using it and it really works! Now I’m hooked on it!

DENTISTE’

DENTISTE' has been a global leader in premium oral care solutions with its products spreading across 20 countries in 6 continents. Their innovative offerings to both consumers and dental professionals are the full range of premium natural products equipped with many of the world's most advanced dental technologies backed by solid clinical studies, thus helping people take a superior care of their oral hygiene in ways previously not possible with older technologies. Their strong commitment to relentless innovation and quality has resulted in products that have received worldwide accolades and truly improved people's lives.

MORE THAN A TOOTHPASTE
- Cure BAD BREATH from oral bacteria
- Cure RELATIONSHIP between lovers affected from bad breath
- Cure FACE through its premium image

DENTISTE' Nighttime Toothpaste

DENTISTE' Nighttime Toothpaste is made with advanced dental technologies and powered with premium natural ingredients, 14 Natural Extracts, Xylitol, Vitamin C, and other ingredients, which are specially formulated to inhibit nighttime oral bacteria that are the major cause of bad morning breath and tooth cavities.

J and I tried both versions and I like that there isn’t too much foam upon usage of both toothpastes! My lips and area around the lips tend to swell up after use when the toothpastes that I use are too minty or strong, since I have very sensitive skin. The Nighttime toothpaste leaves my teeth feeling clean, breath fresh and no damage to my skin and lips!

On top of that, J and I had no bad breath upon waking up and it’s these little things that makes my mornings extra sweet when I can kiss J in the morning without fearing that I will scare him with my usual morning bad breath! :D

It is available in tube, pump versions and also an oral rinse, and they can be found at Watsons and major retail outlets in Singapore!

DENTISTE’ Kissing Silhouette Event 

J and I also had the privilege to be invited to the first ever Silhouette kissing photo booth in Singapore, by DENTISTE’! It was such a unique experience, and we had so much fun reliving our favourite pose during our pre-wedding shoot more than 3 years ago!

There was an array of products and promotions going on as well. We briefly spoke about our reviews of the products and the experience at the kissing booth too!

Thank you for having us, DENTISTE’!
