5 Tips to stay in shape during CNY

So here's the long-awaited post to prep for your upcoming CNY feasting! :D

1. Go for the steamboat

Instead of keeping quiet while your friends and family are thinking of whether to head for CNY meals, or suggesting heavy dining places, be the hero and suggest STEAMBOAT! By choosing steamboat, you will be able to control the amount of proteins and carbs (which I'll be covering in the next point). Pick the items with as little seasoning as possible and non-fried. Lastly, avoid drinking the soup! :D

2. Proteins over carbs

Always always go for the proteins instead of carbs. Firstly, they don't bloat your stomach as much as carbs. Secondly, they are quality nutrients and helps your body to recover and build lean muscles when you fulfil the next point that I'll be covering. So, whack the proteins and of course, go for the leanest of the lot and avoid the fried ones!

3. HIIT the 15!

I remembered wanting to workout during the first day of CNY last year and we din have the time to head to the gym because we needed to help my mum prepare for the dinner. So I got Jason to head down to the void deck and do a workout with me (since it was drizzling). Well, all you need is 15 mins or even less for a quick HIIT workout. Ran out of ideas for your workout, you've got the best companion ever on your mobile phones, the Nike+ Training Club app!

Go download it if you haven't and add me as friend (Limaran Agustina), let me know what workout you did during CNY! You can always search for workouts below 15mins so #noexcuses! :D

4. Crispy M FTW

My close friends and family will already know that I don't like to eat Ba Kwa so I guess this isn't much of a concern for me. But if your favourite CNY goodie is the Ba Kwa, instead of reaching for them all the time, why not try the recently-launched Crispy M from Fragrance! I swear by it since the first time I tried it! Its not really Ba Kwa though there is some similar taste, but its a good replacement and less fattening and yummy (at least for me)! 

5. Sharing is caring

If you love your friends and family, you will care and share the calories too right? Instead of finishing a serving at one time, share that piece of kueh lapis with your friends and/or family! Split the love and still enjoy the goodies! :P
Have a blessed reunion and Lunar New Year everyone and I hope you will be able to stay in shape this year onwards! Huat ah! :D

  4. During Chinese New Year, exercise can be challenging, so make sure to eat in moderation, move around, and exercise occasionally. Food should also be taken moderately. As a student I'm facing difficulties these days like preparing for exams for the HESI, I should pay someone to take my HESI exam.

  6. Applying for an Umrah Visa requires pilgrims to understand the official guidelines provided by the Saudi authorities. Generally, applicants need to provide a valid passport, passport-sized photographs, and proof of accommodation or package bookings. The process has been modernized in recent years to make it easier for pilgrims from different countries. Many licensed travel agencies facilitate this process by offering packages that combine visa processing with flights, hotels, and transportation, allowing travelers to focus entirely on their spiritual journey.

  7. An air ticket often includes more than just the flight—it can also offer perks like baggage allowance, meals, and onboard entertainment. Many airlines design ticket packages that cater to different passenger needs, from budget travelers to luxury seekers. Economy tickets may come with basic amenities, while premium and business-class tickets elevate the experience with lounge access, priority boarding, and enhanced comfort. Travelers today evaluate these perks just as much as the base price, as they contribute significantly to the overall journey. For long-haul flights, such added comforts make a noticeable difference in passenger satisfaction. Understanding the inclusions of each ticket tier allows travelers to make informed choices that balance cost and convenience. These variations highlight how the meaning of a ticket has evolved into a broader travel product, not just a simple boarding pass.

  8. Hunza is often called the “Shangri-La of Pakistan” because of its extraordinary landscapes and peaceful lifestyle. Travelers who embark on a hunza tour often describe it as visiting a place where time slows down. Life in the valley is untouched by the chaos of modern cities, offering an atmosphere of calm and mindfulness. Sitting by Attabad Lake, surrounded by turquoise waters and towering cliffs, one can feel an immense sense of peace. This harmony between humans and nature is what makes Hunza truly stand out as a travel destination for those seeking inner balance.

  9. Another key reason IPTV has become popular is its ability to bridge generational and cultural gaps. Younger viewers might enjoy Hollywood blockbusters or Canadian shows, while older family members prefer Arabic dramas, religious content, or news. IPTV packages combine both, making it unnecessary to compromise. Through services like Arabic Iptv Canada, families maintain harmony in their viewing habits, with everyone finding something enjoyable. This inclusivity is one of the main reasons IPTV continues to grow in multicultural Canadian households.
