FOREWORD

with the chancellor and sought opportunities for greater cooperation with GMU, in terms of student and faculty exchanges.

Dear Readers

Welcome back from the holidays and Eid Mubarak to you and your families. Hope you all had a good vacation.

All the verticals of Thumbay Group have been busy during the summer months. While Body & Soul Health Club was offering an exciting summer camp for children, Thumbay Retail Division negotiated the deal to take over 20 pharmacies to be added to the chain of Thumbay Pharmacies.

Gulf Medical University, Ajman had the pleasure of hosting the Consul General of India in Dubai, His Excellency Mr. Vipul. He was highly impressed with the facilities and high standard of education being offered by the university.

Thumbay Hospital was pleased to host leading Bollywood celebrities including Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Ileana De Cruz, and Athiya Shetty. Popular Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal also visited Thumbay Hospital, Dubai and interacted with the hospital administration. A large number of his fans were delighted to meet their icon personally.

A Saudi Arabian delegation led by His Excellency Musad Bin Ahmed Al-Jarrah, Cultural Attache, Consulate of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia visited the university. The visiting delegation interacted

Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC), Ajman has joined hands with Gulf Medical University (GMU), Ajman, by signing an MoU to enhance the UAE’s ability to accelerate and expand research and education leading to significant improvements in care for patients with diabetes and other lifestyle diseases. Prof. Salahedeen Abusnana, Chief Medical Officer of SKMC and Prof. Hossam Hamdy, Chancellor of GMU, signed the agreement in the presence of H.E. Hamad Obaid Taryam Al Shamsi, Director of Ajman Medical District and other academic leaders of the university.

Body & Soul Health Club and Spa marked the conclusion of its summer camp this year with a colorful closing ceremony in the presence of members of the club management as well as the trainers, camp attendees, and parents.

Aiming to promote its world-class facilities and services among medical tourists and stakeholders, Thumbay Hospitals conducted the ‘Thumbay Medical Tourism Meet’ at the Lakeshore Hotel, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Thumbay Hospital Day Care – Rolla, Sharjah successfully conducted a Health Checkup Camp at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sharjah.

The event included consultation with different specialists including ENT and Dental. Over 200 staff and individuals visiting the ministry benefited from the camp.

MERGING WELLNESS WITH TECHNOLOGY

MOVERS SHAKERS

Hello!

Eid Mubarak to all of our readers and welcome to our back-toschool edition of HEALTH magazine! I hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday also. After a long leisurely break, it can be hard to get back into the swing of things, especially the school routine. For this, we have an insightful guide on the importance of nutrition for your children in school. In fact, the right kinds of foods not only help boost your child’s academic performance, but also improve energy levels and concentration.

Also, as Breast Cancer Awareness month is just around the corner, I was able to meet with two real life breast cancer survivors who explained how life changed for the better after breast cancer.

After the holidays, taking control of how and what we eat is a challenging task. In this issue, there is an informative article on The Blood Group Diet and how knowing which foods are suitable for your own particular blood group can ultimately benefit your health and wellbeing.

I was also able to have a one-on-one with Mark Wentworth, Founder of Color for Life and Creator of the Color Psychodynamic Method. He uses color to analyze the triggers behind unhealthy cravings and bad habits we just can’t seem to let go of. Then, we have our usual roundup of features, profiles, and in-depth articles.

I hope you enjoy our magazine and do let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas you would like to see in our magazine.

From all of us at the HEALTH magazine team, happy reading until next time!

Imagine a world where people live for 100 healthy years? While it may sound like a science fiction movie, it soon can become a reality, thanks to the efforts of German science and technology company Merck which has launched a strategy and action plan to prepare GEN100 – the next generation of kids who will be able to live 100 healthy years.

The Current Landscape

The findings of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) white paper, “Kids and Old Age” describe the current landscape and some key findings include: Today’s children will be less healthy than today’s adults over 65 when they reach that age.

Also, lifestyle-related problems are likely to contribute to chronic disease in later life and are already causing health problems among children.

Across the five countries surveyed, schools are targeting the main perceived problems, such as lack of exercise, but are ignoring mental health issues.

There is little evidence that such school education programs are managing to stem rising rates of obesity and mental disorders.

Sept/Oct 2017

14

Parents

The reality is that lifestyle related problems later contribute to chronic diseases in adult years.

Close to one third of parents surveyed reported that at least one of their children suffered from a physical chronic illness.

And despite the concern over their child’s diet and sedentary lifestyles, few parents surveyed actually stated their child is overweight. Certainly parents play a big role when it comes to inculcating good eating habits at a young age and introducing healthy lifestyle habits at age appropriate times.

The Paradox

With today’s advancements in modern science, medical technology, and health innovations, the average life expectancy is rising.

But the downside is that despite this, lifestyle diseases—particularly diabetes and obesity-- are a major problem and continue to surge on a global level.

A big part of this problem is technology in the form of tablets, iPhones, laptops, and games which provide easy entertainment for children. The concept of play has been relegated to a click of a mouse and in fact, one third of pre-school children in the UK have their own iPad or a similar tablet that they use for an average of one hour and 19 minutes every weekday, often on their own without a parent or guardian, according to research.*

(*The Guardian, October 6, 2015)

Start Young

According to the findings of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) white paper, “Kids and Old

Age”, more than half of South African parents report a sedentary lifestyle in their children as an actual problem. Moreover, poor diet and lack of structured exercise means obesity rates are rising globally, particularly in middle income nations. This problem needs to be addressed at a young age as Uta KemmerichKeil, CEO and President of Merck Consumer Health explains, “One thing is for certain: the earlier we start working with kids on how to look after themselves, the better the long-term impacts. If this debate helped strengthen the health education for my own kids here in Germany, as much as children from Brazil to India, then we are getting better at building a global future of healthy adults, able to enjoy a long life to the fullest.”

The Role of the Schools Across the five countries surveyed, most schools provide exercise and include nutrition and hygiene, but are largely ignoring mental health issues that include real life lessons in avoiding stress, learning healthy coping mechanisms, and dealing with anxiety and depression. In fact, evidence from Germany suggests that mental health problems, including anxiety and depression, are major issues for a child’s health and ultimately can lead to bigger physical and mental health problems later on in adulthood.

These days most schools are focusing largely on academics; but to be more effective, education needs to be more comprehensive and target tangible lifestyle problems. In fact, the rising rates of child obesity around the world should be addressed by the schools. Therefore, a tangible shift in attitude and trends is required, whereby kids must be provided

the right tools to protect their own health. Lifelong health is a collective mission which requires the concerted efforts of the community.

A Global Holistic Movement

Key discussions addressed by experts at the annual Merck Global Consumer Health Debate included: how to ensure vitality and activity does not slow down as we get older; what are our children’s views on healthy living in old age; and what are the long-term health effects of early childhood health education? The fact is, there needs to be a global movement towards healthy life expectancy. The earlier we start working with kids on how to look after themselves, the better the long-term impacts. According to Atilla Cansun, Chief Marketing Officer of Merck Consumer Health, the decision-makers and different stakeholders must take a closer look and involve themselves with this mission personally. He emphasized, “This must grow into a worldwide movement.”

Moving Towards ‘100 Healthy Years’ The fight against unhealthy lifestyles must start from schools.

The key message is that by working together on complementary efforts, our kids will be better equipped to become tomorrow’s healthy adults and elderly. Merck Consumer Health believes that given the tools and the knowledge to protect health, the perceptions of society about healthy aging can be changed. The emphasis should be holistic; both physical and mental health as well as wellbeing. The following series of steps were identified to improve the outlook for children’s health when they become adults:

Promote

greater

among children and families of the link between children’s health and lifestyle practices today and their long-term health prospects.

Place greater focus on broader well-being issues, along with the current emphasis on the basics of nutrition, exercise, good hygiene, and avoiding harmful substances.

Teachers need to be trained to recognize the link between childhood health practices and healthy longevity, as well as the signs of possible mental health issues in children.

Co-ordinate different levels of government in delivering healthpromoting programs, such as those related to improving school meals.

Promote good health practices outside the formal school curriculum, for example by encouraging exercise during school breaks.

Involve the wider community in addressing any cultural barriers to fitness and health promotion.

About & WE100™ is a movement to change the way we think about aging and prepare humans for living longer and healthier lives. The details of WE100™, launched by Merck Consumer Health, were unveiled at the second annual Global Consumer Health Debate organized at the company’s headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany on May 18, 2017 and entitled “100 Healthy Years – Are Kids Prepared?”

Merck is a leading science and technology company in healthcare, life science and performance materials. Founded in 1668, Merck is the world’s oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company.

As parents get ready to send their kids back to school after a long summer holiday, making sure kids are being properly nourished with the right kinds of foods can make all the difference in their academic performance and in their overall health and wellbeing. HEALTH presents an indepth guide to nutrition for your children‌

The UAE

Why it Matters

A growing issue in the UAE is overweight children and childhood obesity, reveals Celebrity and Model Trainer Heather Marr. She explains, “Last year, the Dubai Health Authority issued a report stating that 33 percent of children aged from kindergarten to grade 12 across 176 private schools were either overweight or obese. This poses a number of health risks, both short and long term.�

The grim fact is that children who are overweight or obese are more likely to become overweight or obese adults.

According to Marr, they are at greater risk of major health issues including heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and diabetes.

With children heading back to school, it is vital that they have healthy, nutrient dense food options with them to enjoy during their school day.

Sept/Oct 2017

16

The Start

Picky Eaters

Healthy lunches start at the grocery store. Children eat what you have purchased and what is available to them in your home, so Marr suggests keeping your fridge and pantry stocked with a variety of healthy choices. “Have lots of fresh fruit and vegetables on hand, buy wholegrain products, lean proteins, and lots of natural nut butters,” she advises, and in fact, healthy options like these should be their diet staples. Remember that things such as fried food, chocolate, candy and chips should be saved to be enjoyed as treats, not as the bulk of their snacks and meals.

Picky eaters can pose a further challenge for parents trying to pack healthy lunches. The suggestions above, points out Marr, can be very effective for getting picky eaters to eat their meals, such as helping with food preparation and making meals fun.

Participation Encourage children to help prepare and pack their lunches, advises Marr. “They will be much more interested in eating their meals this way,” she tells.

“They can help with chores as simple as rinsing fruit to making sandwiches and even chopping vegetables if they are old enough.” The bottom line is to get them involved in the kitchen and instil these healthy habits from an early age.

She adds another strategy for picky eaters is to introduce new foods slowly at dinner time. “Halt snacking one to two hours prior to dinner so your child sits down to their meal hungry,” she says, and start by introducing these foods in small doses. For instance, encourage children to try just one bite. They are then free to enjoy their regular favorite foods at the meal. Often children need to be exposed to a new food several times in this manner before they develop a taste for it and like it. Be positive, encouraging, and patient, stresses Marr, and soon your child will have an increasing number of healthy meal and snack options they will enjoy during their school day.

Foods that Boost Brain Function There are actually some specific foods that can boost brain power, memory, and overall academic performance.

According to leading nutrition researchers, certain foods can not only help build better brains, but they can also provide school-age children with the concentration required to sit still during story time, work through studies and homework, and yet still be energetic enough to play and enjoy themselves.

While many of these power foods may not be at the top of the list for your kids, Susan L. Johnson, PhD, Director of the Children's Eating Laboratory at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center tells that with kids, nutrition is all about structure and consistency. “Once new foods become predictable, they'll come around," she explains.

The Most Important Meal: Breakfast Breakfast is paramount for school-age kids and in fact, research has shown that breakfast-eaters do better academically and have fewer behavior problems than those who skip breakfast.

Sept/Oct 2017

18

Oatmeal

In a study at Tufts University, children between the ages of 9 and 11 were given an option of cold cereal, oatmeal, or no breakfast at all, and then tested their memory at school over several weeks. It was found that the oatmeal-eaters performed far better on spatialmemory tasks and it was concluded that oatmeal-a whole grain that is high in fiber-digests slowly and provides children with a steady stream of energy.

Whole Wheat Bread

Not only are whole wheat breads rich in fiber, but also rich in folate, a B vitamin that is used to manufacture memory cells in the brain.

Folate has brain-building effects and overall, whole grains are a good source of other B vitamins that have also been shown to improve alertness.

Fruit

While most fruits are not brain foods, they do offer children a distinct learning advantage since constipation is a common issue these days. As a result, kids often drag through their school day feeling sluggish and lethargic.

Cereal

Fortified whole grain cereals are rich in folate, complex carbs, and easy-to-access protein and are also a great source of vitamin B12. Avoid high sugar and high color cereals and instead, opt for whole grain and no sugar options with dry fruits.

Eggs

Eggs contain choline, which is important for the development of memory stem cells, formed deep within our brains. The more cells we have, the better our memories. According to research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, a cholinerich diet may aid new memory cell production throughout childhood.

If you’re having trouble getting your child to eat their vegetables, here are several different ideas to try

Try different dips for things like carrot sticks and pepper slices that may help your kids eat their veggies. Things like hummus, salsa, and low-fat yogurt dips are all great choices for school lunches.

You can hide the vegetables by chopping them very finely in things like soups and sauces or even add them to smoothies.

Make lunches fun and something your kids will look forward to. Cut sandwiches into shapes with cookie cutters, put sliced fruits on kebab sticks, or pack a homemade “lunchables” container for pizza or even tacos for your kids to assemble themselves.

Even a simple name change such as referring to broccoli as ‘little trees’ or cut apples as ‘little moons’ can be amusing for a young child and can positively impact food choices.

Make healthier versions of your favorite foods together; if your child loves French fries, you can make baked sweet potato fries or chips.

Instead of deep fried chicken nuggets, use wholegrain panko and chicken breast and make them at home in the oven.

Make a homemade pizza on a whole wheat crust with reduced fat cheese and fresh toppings. The possibilities are endless for healthy, portable school lunches your kids will love. H (Credit: Heather Marr)

With Breast Cancer Awareness month just around the corner, HEALTH meets two breast cancer survivors who narrate their journeys of survival and courage.

Maya Karmani is a stage 2 breast cancer survivor who says she is thankful of the fact that there is great awareness of breast cancer in the UAE.

Background “I was diagnosed in June, 2008, underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

During my diagnosis and treatment, I consider myself blessed to have received unconditional love and immense support from my family and neighbors. This helped me overcome the toils of my surgery and chemotherapy sessions.”

Support “In March, 2009, I heard about Brest Friends, the support group for breast cancer survivors and patients

The Expert’s Angle Dr. Melanie Schlatter, Health Psychologist in Dubai, discusses how life changes for so many women after being diagnosed and treated with breast cancer.

The Impact “Women are impacted across a number of dimensions from the very time of diagnosis – especially

Sept/Oct 2017

20

in the UAE. During the first few meetings I had attended, I made new friendships that are established until the present day. As I went for more meetings, everyone including me, was encouraged to share their story, I met many good women and began to understand their thought process.

This strengthened my drive to move forward in life.”

Priorities “In terms of priorities, I have become more health-conscious with my family. Besides paying attention to what we eat and maximizing the

emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Thus, often by default, they choose to look closer into particular areas that were lacking previously, and instigate change in that / those parts of life. A simple example is a woman who focused primarily on her career prior to cancer, realizes that she would prefer to spend meaningful time with her family or perhaps focus on her health, post-cancer.”

nutritional value in our meals, I also decided to lose weight and I continue to practice yoga five times a week.

This move of mine has motivated my family to make their own individual decisions to improve their health. So as a family, health comes first.”

Lessons “As a result of my experience, I have learned to rationalize my fears and be more calm and positive. My spiritual faith has fortified and thanks to the positive outlook of my friends at Brest Friends, if there’s anything you may want to take from my story, it’s this: Keep moving forward.”

For the Better “Cancer has the ability to hasten existential life questions that we typically tune out when we are on the ‘rat wheel’. Women often know what they really want, but they don’t have the means or courage to carry it forward. The threat of being very sick and having less control, as well as potentially losing one’s life often helps to make one’s situation more transparent and it becomes more of a ‘must’ change in some way, shape or form.”

Strength

Raquel Soeiro is a 35-year-old Portuguese makeup artist whose motto is: “You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only option you have!”

Background

“I was diagnosed in September, 2014 and was 12 weeks pregnant.

In October, 2014, I underwent surgery and subsequently, began chemotherapy in November. My

daughter Isabel was born in March, 2015 and two weeks later I was back in chemo to finish 12 treatments, and in June I got 15 sessions of radiotherapy.”

Steps to Staying Positive During Breast Cancer The evidence for the benefits of social support, as well as religious or spiritual beliefs is high. Benefits can often lead to a decrease in depression, faster physical recovery, and improved quality of life.

Learn how to relax, breathe, and take a step back-focus on what is truly important.

Don’t be afraid to delegate.

Learn how to say no.

It is important for women to feel a sense of control. Yes, you are allowed to crash periodically (don’t be afraid of this), but it’s equally important that you decide to get up and back on your bike again. That way, you will be more prepared for any other trials and tribulations along the way.

Know that you don’t always have to put on a brave face-especially if you are in pain, nauseous, or having difficulty with changes in body image.

Regularly write down about your thoughts and feelings associated with the process. Emotional expression, and even benefit finding, are vital for positively affecting your psychological state and immune system.

Don’t immediately stop all the positive things that you were doing. Some people instantaneously give up their lives, which is a tremendous adjustment-keep on with things that you enjoy where possible.

Keep up the basics-getting up each day, showering, and having breakfast can be monumental for some. But plod on-make that commitment to yourself.

Learn to laugh, or seek out laughter in any way, shape, or form. Don’t let yourself forget how to have fun.

(Credit: Dr. Melanie Schlatter, Health Psychologist in Dubai)

“At the time of my surgery and chemotherapy, I was pregnant nearly 80 percent of the time.

That was my biggest strength-my daughter was a huge rock inside me, and, along the way, I found that I could reach any impossible tasks.

My family and my husband, especially, was the most amazing person and he’s been supportive since the very first minute we discovered I had cancer. Also, my friends here in Dubai had a major part in all of it.”

Change

“I’m not cancer free yet, as I have to do 10 years of Tamoxifen. But I’ll get there. All of this process has being amazing and I often say that this was the most beautiful and amazing time of my life. I had the chance to meet wonderful people and doctors, here in Dubai and in Portugal. Family got closer; all those small things became secondary. We became alive, more alive than we ever were. I am grateful to have a chance to tell my story; the chance of be the voice of others; the chance to change their lives.”

Al Jalila Foundation Champions Breast Cancer Research Al Jalila Foundation is a global philanthropic organization founded

by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in November, 2012 to position the UAE at the forefront of medical innovation. Al Jalila Foundation is fully funded by the generosity of donors and one hundred percent of funds donated are invested into medical research, education, and treatment to transform lives.

According to the World Health Organisation, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime with approximately 1.4 million women worldwide diagnosed each year. In the UAE, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and studies show the average age of diagnosis is 10 years younger than elsewhere in the world. These statistics

reaffirm the critical need to continuously support breast cancer research to keep up with the latest advances in treatment to save patients’ lives.

Al Jalila Foundation partnered with Brest Friends in 2015 to reinforce its goal to promote early detection of breast cancer, expedite support with medical treatment and invest in local breast cancer research.

Early detection goes a long way toward successfully treating breast cancer and Brest Friends was established in 2005 by Dr. Houriya Kazim, the UAE’s first female surgeon, with the mission to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer in the UAE. Brest Friends is an active breast cancer support group made-up of approximately 500 members where patients and survivors gather once a month in Dubai to share experiences and offer support to each other.

To date, Al Jalila Foundation has invested up to Dhs 5 million into breast cancer research studies and supported more than 24 patients in need of quality care. H

MERGING WELLNESS WITH TECHNOLOGY Looking at how an online service can help us ‘switch off’ from the frenzy of the digital world may initially seem like an oxymoron – but in reality, it can work.

HEALTH speaks with the husband and wife team Stefan and Megan Ritsch, the Founders of www.enritsch.com, the UAE’s leading online health and wellness platform about how online services can actually help us switch off.

The Concept

The UAE’s leading online health and wellness platform- www.enritsch.com-now has an actively engaged community of more than 80,000 members providing the latest advice and tips on how to advance our personal journeys to wellbeing. The site also features experts to whom people can turn, free of charge, for personal advice.

Sept/Oct 2017

22

Digital Obsession

Megan believes that worldwide, a common thread is our rush to social herding, technology, and data where an obsession with digital devices and apps has taken hold, often to the detriment to our own wellbeing. “Our addiction to mobile phones and handheld devices that we take with us everywhere has turned us into a society

of walking zombies. We don’t take the time to give our bodies what they need to function at their optimal level: quality time with family and friends; good nutrition and diet; rest and relaxation; sleep; physical and mental exercise. So, many of us are out of balance and fatigued,” says Megan.

Helping People towards Optimal Health

However, Megan believes our hunger for online data can be turned to an advantage if we make a conscious effort to do so. “Our hunger for data and need to be permanently ‘on’ though can still be put to good use as many of us seek some form of psychological, physical, and or mental improvement in our lives. Online health and wellness platforms such as enritsch.com that aggregate an immense amount of information and present us with wellbeing solutions, are helping people in the UAE undertake their journey of transformation to a healthier, happier, and balanced self,” she explains.

Bariatric Surgery

And the DiabetesType 2 Connection

Sept/Oct 2017

24

While bariatric surgeries have been typically associated with treating obesity, it is now recognized that the same procedures are resolving diabetes, hypertension, and other co-morbid conditions associated with obesity.

Dr. Faruq M. Badiuddin, General, Laparoscopic, and Bariatric Surgeon explains more…

Defined Bariatric surgeries, explains Dr. Badiuddin, refers to surgical procedures on the gastrointestinal tract designed to promote weight loss in the obese. More recently, they are starting to refer to this group of surgeries as “Metabolic Surgery” and redefine them as “a set of gastrointestinal operations used with the intent to treat diabetes and metabolic dysfunctions.”

After Surgery It’s quite surprising, tells Dr. Badiuddin, how quickly the high blood sugar in diabetics normalizes after a bariatric/metabolic surgery. He explains, “This happens even before there is any significant weight loss and scientific studies have confirmed that the correction of diabetes is independent of the weight loss. This occurs due the changes in the gut hormones such as insulin, ghrelin, glucagon like peptide, PYY, and so on, which regulate glucose metabolism.” H

Top Tips to Help Individuals Suffering from Diabetes Type 2 or those at High Risk Due to Family History: • Eat a protein rich, high fiber, low carb diet.

• Stay away from soft drinks and foods with a high glycemic index.

• Be aware of the nature and content of the foods that you are consuming. Healthy foods need not be expensive, if chosen and prepared creatively.

• Exercise is not an option; at least 120 to 150 minutes of active exercise is mandatory for the effective management of diabetes.

• Very importantly-be consistent, whether it’s with diet, medication, or exercise. Many people live in denial of their disease. Starting treatment or seeking surgery early in the disease has the best outcome in terms of preventing the complications of diabetes. High vigilance is essential to fight diabetes.

Diabetes Dr. Badiuddin points out that 95 percent of diabetics are either overweight or obese. “Having said that, there are ‘lean’ diabetics and ‘healthy’ obese,” he says. “The risk of diabetes and heart disease associated with obesity directly correlates with the proportion of ‘visceral fat’, which is found in the abdomen.” So, one’s overall weight may be normal, but if the visceral fat content is in higher proportion, then that person is at a higher risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease than the one who may be overtly “obese”, but has a lower proportion of visceral fat. This is true especially in people from the Indian subcontinent, where the incidence of diabetes is one of the highest in the world.

Lifestyle and Fertility Changes in Men OUR FAST-PACED, SUPER-HECTIC, AND SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES HAVE LONG BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HEALTH ADVERSITIES. BESIDES AFFECTING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH TOXINS AND UNHEALTHY DIETS, ONE OF THE DIRE IMPACTS HAS BEEN DECLINING MALE INFERTILITY. HEALTH SPEAKS TO FERTILITY EXPERT DR. PANKAJ SHRIVASTAV WHO EXPLAINS THE LINK BETWEEN LIFESTYLE AND FERTILITY IN MEN.

SMOKING Smoking has long been hailed as a cancer causing and health tarnishing habit. Time and again, several scientific studies have provided evidence that smoking has a direct effect on male fertility. The more a man smokes, the more abnormal looking his sperm will be, the lower his sperm count will be, and the less motile the sperm being produced will be. These effects are similar to smoking sheesha and most men have a tendency to deny and defend this habit by arguing that their fathers and forefathers smoked and still bore many children. However, the fact remains that no two individuals react in similar manner to a toxin and moreover, previous generations weren’t exposed to as many toxins as today’s men are.

JOBS There are professions where men deal with substances that harm their fertility. These include professions that involve chemicals, solvents, pesticides/fertilizers, and lead-based paints. There is also emerging evidence to suggest that airline cabin crew and airplane pilots have decreased fertility because of the radiation they’re exposed to in the upper layers of the atmosphere. Whilst it is not always possible to switch professions to avoid these risks, it is possible to wear the correct protective gear and clothing to reduce the extent of exposure.

TEMPERATURE Sperm production is extremely sensitive to a rise in temperature; therefore, the use of laptops placed on one’s lap for extended periods exposes the sperm to direct heat and radiation, which is detrimental to their production. This is a risk that can easily be eliminated by using laptops on tabletop surfaces.

PLASTIC Closer to earth (and home) the culprit is plastic.

Plastic Tupperware and bottles release bisphonols over time. These chemicals have an estrogenic effect, which directly impairs spermatogenesis.

EXCESS WEIGHT GAIN Weight gain and inactivity causes an increase in fat that converts testosterone into estrogen. The need for exercise and fitness becomes imperative and men should strive to maintain their BMI at less than 25. H

SPURRING MEDICAL INNOVATION….

THE THUMBAY INSTITUTE OF PRECISION MEDICINE AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH HEALTH MET WITH DR. P. K. MENON, DIRECTOR OF THE THUMBAY INSTITUTE OF PRECISION MEDICINE AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH (TIPMTR) WHO REVEALS CUTTING EDGE DIAGNOSTIC AND RESEARCH INNOVATIONS WITHIN PRECISION MEDICINE THAT WILL ENABLE FUTURE WELLNESS AND OPTIMAL HEALTH.

The Infrastructure

Overview

With a focus on two main research areas – diabetes and cancer, researchers at this Institute focus on the importance of tailoring treatment protocols specifically for each patient according to their own unique personal genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Additionally, TIPMTR will serve as a central hub for researchers, clinicians, faculty and students interested in medical research.

It also serves as a platform for innovation startup companies to launch innovative products and services.

Sept/Oct 2017

28

Dr. Menon joined the university around four and a half years ago and explains that the vision of the Founder Mr. Thumbay Moideen is to convert the Gulf Medical University into a world class research based university. He adds, “We planned a strategy and after a lot of meticulous planning and focus group meetings with a lot of specialist physicians, we realized there was no advanced lab in the region. In fact, the majority of advanced tests were being sent overseas. More importantly, there was no skilled manpower to do these super specialty tests.” Thus the Center for Advanced Biomedical Research and Innovation (CABRI) was inaugurated in 2014.

The Vision

In the beginning of 2016, Dr. Menon explains that Founder President Mr. Thumbay Moideen was the key to initiate the setting up of an advanced medical innovation center. When Gulf Medical University’s new Chancellor, Professor Hossam Hamdy joined, he envisaged the change of name from CABRI to 'Thumbay Institute of Precision Medicine and Translational Research'. To define the term ‘Precision Medicine’, Dr. Menon highlights an example: “Treatment of heart disease may require different medications, one of which is Warfarin which works as a blood thinner. All of us have a different and unique metabolism and we process drugs differently. If the

metabolism of Warfarin is fast, the blood will not thin enough and the danger of clotting remains. On the other hand, if the metabolism is slow, the blood will continue to thin to the point that the patient may bleed uncontrollably. In precision medicine, what you do is try to pinpoint exactly the genotype of each patient so that the dosage of Warfarin (or any other medicine) can be planned accurately, depending on the genotype of the patient. In precision medicine, thus we now have the precise tools for a more superior and precise diagnostic focus.”

Big Areas of Concern

The team at TIPMTR focuses on the major health concerns facing the UAE for which Dr. Menon explains, “Diabetes was a big area which required its own designated diagnostic and research lab. Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) in newborn babies were only being screened for 6 or 7 diseases at birth whereas internationally, typically the baby is screened for around 50 diseases. So we set up an advanced lab for IEM screening.”

He continues, “Another thrust area of focus was research on hemoglobin disorders which are prevalent here, so subsequently, we set up an advanced hemoglobin analysis lab. Then there was the problem of pregnant women not being screened for carrying a baby with chromosomal disorders such as Down’s syndrome, so we set up a lab for the early detection of these kinds of chromosomal disorders.

We already had a histopathology lab, but we augmented it. We also set up a cytogenetics lab, which is the only CAP approved lab in this region. Then there was the issue of allergies as many kids were coming with chronic cold and cough symptoms which are actually allergic disorders. For this also, we set up the lab which has been functioning well.”

Advanced Tests

This Institute is in fact, the only lab with the infrastructure and manpower to run specialized gene testing, stem cells research, and advanced super specialty testing.

Dr. Menon adds, “We can do about 1800 tests and are in fact, the only lab in this region equipped to do these kinds of cutting edge and very advanced diagnostic tests in-house.

Moreover, over the next couple of years, I am hoping to augment research teaching and training; we already have a Master’s Program and are going to augment this training also.”

Life Changing

TIPMTR is an extremely scientific and focused diagnostic precision medical institute and Dr. Menon stresses that this is a very niche emerging area for research and diagnosis. He documents a recent case study of a family from Dubai, “Their child was exhibiting severe skin rash. We did a blood test which resulted in an IgE reading that was extremely high at 10K IU; in fact, one of the highest I have ever seen.

Once we tested the child, we then sat with the parents to find out about daily habits. We learnt that this family was vegetarian and then we set out to test for different combinations of vegetables.

When one combination tested positive, we tested for sub-components within this combination. When we narrowed it down, the result was the child was allergic to tomatoes.”

Future Plans

With such an advanced infrastructure already in place, Dr. Menon points out that their aim, for the next four to five years, is to collaborate extensively with national and international workers in the areas of national interest which includes diabetes, oncology, hemoglobinopathies and genetic disorders. He elaborates, “As scientists and researchers, our role is to disseminate scientific and evidence based facts with high quality diagnostic testing.

The institute also aims to boost medical innovation and provide a platform for medical scientists, healthcare researchers, and medical scientists in the region, to enable collaborations and partnerships with international institutions, such as Gustave Roussy from Paris, Wisconsin Medical University, USA, leading universities from Italy, Bahrain, and Switzerland, pharma companies and the overall healthcare industry.” H

WHEN YOUR GUESTS DON’T GET ALONG...

Having guests over for any occasion is a challenge; with the planning, the menu, the decorations, and the overall effort that goes into it. But if your guests don’t hit it off, it can make it all the more difficult. Here are some ways to help thaw the ice between guests…

Tips to Make it Work The Ideal Situation

In order to have a successful event, a host should ideally possess good communication skills and also be aware of the dynamics between certain groups of people. The whole idea behind having a party is to have fun, bring people together, and create beautiful memories.

• Invite people that you know will have things to talk about, and that don’t have a lot of drama between them—this way all of the guests will enjoy their time and without tension and negative energy.

• Inform your guests in advance of the guest list so they can decide whether or not they want to be placed into the situation.

• To ensure your guests are comfortable, be sure that you know your guests to a certain degree.

• Plan games and add a sense of structure to your gathering, rather than leaving long gaps of silence.

• Make sure you have a few general conversation points ready to bring to the table that covers the common interests of your guests and to help stimulate conversation.

• Avoid sensitive topics regarding politics, religion, or even work.

• Keep your guests in close proximity by having the party in an area which will deter individuals from standing off in corners alone.

• Be sure everyone is given the chance to introduce themselves and add a brief bit of background to spark interest.

• When stuck in a situation where guests don’t get along, it is important to know your guests-know what they like, dislike, who they get along with and don’t get along with.

• Always have something fun planned which will allow people to step outside of their normal self and loosen up.

THINGS YOU MUST DO TO ACHIEVE YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL HEALTH presents the top ways you can reach your highest potential.

1. Read good books.

We come into the world full of potential, but virtually void of wisdom. Reading books is the quickest and simplest way of acquiring knowledge.

2.Associate with

people who are smarter than you. When you surround

yourself with clever people, you have a board of advisors who you don’t have to pay for. Each time you are faced with a problem, they can help you solve it.

3.Find your calling.

A hammer is most effective when hitting nails, and least effective when shoveling dirt. You too are least effective when doing something you’re not called to, but most efficient when doing something you’re born to do. Hence, to achieve

Sept/Oct 2017

32

your highest potential, focus your highest energies on your highest calling.

4.Sharpen your

talents. If you do not sharpen your axe, it will take twice the amount of time to cut down the same number of trees. Likewise, to succeed in your calling, hone your skills and talents. Only then can you produce your best work and achieve your highest potential.

5.Develop thick skin.

When pursuing your highest potential, there will always be doubters, naysayers, backbiters, and haters, all of whom will oppose you.

Use all of the arrows they hurl at you to build your fortress, and you will not only rise to your highest potential, but also inevitably rise to greatness.

6.Give back.

What you pour into the world will be poured back into you. For this reason, it is in your best interest to do good; help those who help you; help those who don’t help you; and even better, help those who can’t help you. The more you give, the more you get, and the more you get, the more you should give.

7.Take care of your

mind. The heart is the wellspring of life, but it is in your mind that you experience reality.

Take care of your mind, and you take care of your potential.

8. Take care of your

body.

You could have all of the riches in the world, but if you don’t have health, you are poor.

Whatever you want to achieve in life will require some body part.

9.Take care of your soul.

You are a spirit housed in a body. Your soul, not your mind or body, is your true essence. When the soul is whole, everything else is inevitably whole.

10.Improve daily.

To achieve your highest potential, make daily improvements mentally,

emotionally, spiritually, and physically. If you were walking today, jog tomorrow. If you were jogging today, sprint tomorrow.

Small improvements eventually add up to big achievements.

Why Online Shopping is the Way Forward

With our busy schedules, the idea of being able to purchase a designer bag online at just the click of a mouse seems very appealing. But as HEALTH learns, there are some tips for making the most of your online shopping.

Sept/Oct 2017

34

Precautions

When purchasing designer goods online, it is paramount to undertake the following precautions: • Only shop and purchase from reputable sites or the actual designer’s official and authorized dealers to guarantee what you are purchasing is genuine.

• Be aware of the detailing used by a designer—look out for patterns that match the manufacturers’ known patterns. Having proper designer education, and savvy shopping skills will make buying designer goods on the internet a positive experience.

• Educate yourself on the sites that are real, authentic, and officially authorized when buying designer goods online.

The Website and Details

• Be aware of the website’s exchange and return policy.

• Don’t click on the “Add to cart” button if you can’t have a solid guarantee of returning goods to your satisfaction.

• Price is a red flag; a department store website may sell authentic designer handbags online at a discount, but not more than 50 percent or more.

So if you find your favorite handbag online that claims to be authentic, yet priced very low, there is definitely something wrong.

• Sign up for online newsletters put forth by the particular website. This way you can even avail exclusive discounts and offers.

• Log on and search for other online shops so you can compare prices on different products available and in turn, get the best deals. Also, be sure to only transact business with trusted and legitimate online sellers.

• Only trust those with secure payment modes such as PayPal. • Look at the “Contact Us” link to see where the company is located.

Also, be sure to read the “About Us” page to see how long the company has been in business and if it has a physical address location and not a PO Box address.

• Be sure there is an Authenticity Guarantee or your money back clause mentioned somewhere on the website.

• When in doubt, send an email to initiate a contact from the sellers and see how well they respond to your questions. You should not be afraid to question authenticity of the products. H

Losing Control...

A Closer Look at Panic Disorder

Sept/Oct 2017

36

Out of the blue, you start shaking and sweating, almost unable to breathe, maybe for no real reason. You could be suffering from panic disorder; HEALTH investigates more.

Some individuals make significant changes in their lives as a result of panic disorder.

They may stop going to work, be absent from school, or even go to the extent of staying at home or close to home so in case of a panic attack, they can quickly return back home safely.

Treatment

Symptoms

All of us have undergone some kind of severe stress at some point in our lives; but when the stress becomes too much to bear, it can actually become a panic disorder.

Panic attacks can be frightening and give the impression that the sufferer is undergoing a heart attack with accompanying dizziness, chest pain, breathlessness, and other similar symptoms. “Typically, a mild panic attack or disorder can be associated with thoughts of danger and death with some associated physical symptoms such as palpitations and sweating,” says Psychologist Devika Singh-Mankani. She adds that more severe disorders may be associated with similar thoughts and a feeling of the need to escape; feeling like one is ‘going crazy’, feelings of choking, nausea, numbness, or tingling sensation, and feelings of unreality.

What Makes it Unique?

How can we differentiate between a panic attack and some other kind of similar episode?

According to Singh-Mankani, the criteria for panic disorder is when an individual avoids certain situations for at least one month because of these attacks. “During this month, they must exhibit persistent concern and worry about these attacks that often appear to be ‘out-of-the-blue,’” she says, but advises it is important to rule out other reasons for the panic attacks. She adds, “Also, it is important to rule out other psychological problems such as separation anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobia, or post-traumatic stress disorder, or a separation anxiety disorder.”

Treatment responses vary from person-to-person, points out Singh-Makani. Often times, clients may have outbreaks with periods of calm in-between that may last for years, while others may have severe symptoms throughout their lives. Treatment currently focuses on cognitive behavior therapy or a combination of cognitive behavior therapy and medication, she explains. “The therapy includes helping the client understand the relationship between thoughts, behaviors, and physiological effects and come up with alternatives,” she adds. “It is critical for people who experience panic attacks to have a thorough medical examination to rule out a general medical condition such as seizure disorders and cardiac conditions.” H

SOCIAL MEDIA HAS CHANGED PERSPECTIVES

“Since the advent of technology and social media, people's lives have become very different than it used to be. People now have the privilege of instantaneous access to information across the web with instant information on someone's whereabouts, the latest news about products and services, and most importantly, they see it as inspirational.”

A DAY IN THE LIFE

“My usual daily routine includes organizing the calendar of the images to be shared, blog articles to be posted, and editing videos or photos. Aside from that, I also manage my fashion business which focuses on women’s wear weddings and daywear clothes.”

HIS CONCEPT

“My main theme of the blog "FOLLOWUSHI" is a web that serves as a guide to discover everything that makes life wonderful and how you style it up in a way you can manage without forcing yourself. Most of my followers are people who are curious, adventurous, and who enjoy life in style.”

FAVORITES

“Locally, I love @Mahryska for her curated style that is not forced. Also, @TheFierce_Nay is a style inspiration especially to the Arab social media. She's one of the pioneers who truly made a huge influence to this region. @thestylechoreo started the movement of the Dapper man in the region by saying it's okay to wear a suit and look good anytime and anywhere. I also like @HudaBeauty as because of her, a lot of women feel beautiful.

Internationally, @Bryanboycom is one of the inspirations when I was starting out a few years ago. I even copied his look before.”

From pediatric questions to general medical queries, our panel of experts is here to answer your questions….

A BROKEN BONE

Question: I broke my arm as a child and it was treated. Now I am a 40-year-old and having a lot of pain and trouble moving this same arm. Could this be related to my past injury?

Dr. Brijesh Puthalonkunath Valsalan, Specialist Orthopedic Surgeon responds: “Childhood injuries can present problems in adulthood in some individuals. Injuries of the arm, which are around the growth plate region, can have late consequences in adulthood. Fractures around the elbow are well-known to cause issues later on life. These fractures, especially intra-articular fractures (those fractures where the fracture line runs across a joint surface) are typically prone to secondary osteoarthritis due to incomplete reduction of intra-articular fractures or deformities related to growth-plate injury. Another late complication typically seen in lateral condyle fractures is ‘tardy ulnar nerve palsy’ which is a late onset ulnar nerve neuropathy due to nerve stretching as a result of elbow valgus deformity. But there could be a multitude of other causes for your arm pain which are totally unrelated to the old injury. These are far more commonly encountered in clinical practice than old injury sequelae. You would need to consult an orthopedic surgeon for clinical and radiological evaluation to determine the cause of pain and to plan further management.”

WEANING THE BABY

Question: My baby is approaching one year now and I want to wean her off the breast and on to formula milk. What is the best way to do this?

Dr. Venkiteswaran Ramanathan, Medical Director and Consultant in Pediatrics and Neonatology responds: “For ideal nutrition, WHO recommends that a baby must be exclusively fed breast milk for the first six months, but you can continue for up to two years if you wish, even after the baby is introduced to solid foods. If you wish to wean your baby off breast milk, you can start with the following steps. First, substitute breast milk with bottle milk once a day and gradually increase the number. Also, start offering solid food instead of breast milk at meal times. Make sure your partner also helps during the feeding time as you aren’t always there to feed her. You can also try different bottles/teats and decide on one your baby prefers. Since your child is turning one, you can offer a cup for sipping. Don’t expect an immediate result, as the change from breast feeding will be a slow process.”

TEENAGER ADDICTED TO GADGETS Question: How do I know if my teen is addicted to her electronic gadget? Are there any key signs?

Dr. Saliha Afridi, Clinical Psychologist responds: “Electronic addiction is a real issue with serious physical and mental health implications. Teens are more depressed and anxious today than ever before and research shows that electronic addictions are a major contributing factor to the rise in these disorders. Here’s how to tell if your child is addicted: Is he irritable and moody when you take away the electronics? Do they sneak / or break the rules to get more screen time? Does he/she need more and more screen time to feel satisfied? Does he/she seem withdrawn and opt out of social gatherings to be near a screen? Has his/her social, academic, or emotional life suffered as a result of screen time? If you notice any of the aforementioned signs, then your child has reached unhealthy and dysfunctional levels of electronic use.”

BEAUTY EXPERIENCE Every woman likes to change her hair for the summer, so when I was invited to try the hair color services at Laloge salon at The Address Hotel, Downtown Dubai, I knew I would be in very good hands.

THE CONSULTATION

An elegant, expansive space with marble floors, and black and gold accents, Laloge is a high-end salon that epitomizes luxury. The second one in the city, it’s the brainchild of famed American hairstylist Jose Eber. The head stylist here—Hani, spent around 30 minutes discussing my lifestyle and the look I was hoping to achieve. My hair, he explained, had too many colors and tones, including copper, red, brown, and shades of blond. He advised I stick to my own natural hair color as much as possible, but add some lighter bits to the ends to give a fresher, new look.

THE RESULTS

After my color was shampooed out and I had a conditioning treatment, my hair was blow-dried. The end result was quite striking; not only did my hair look amazing with very ash blond on the ends of my hair, but blended ever so slightly with the crown.

The best part was my hair was left surprisingly soft and very manageable. H

THE LOOK

Hani used an ash brown color for my roots to give a slightly darker look to my crown area.

He then teased small sections at the ends of my hair before applying the bleach for the foils.

This, he explained, would give a natural result, not a dated ‘painted on highlights’ look. The result would also be less blond and more natural and subtle. Hani used only ammonia-free products and explained that most women these days have over-processed hair due to excessive blow-drying, coloring, and treatments.

Ammonia-free would be less harsh and would safeguard the hair from more damage.

BYE BYE PLASTIC SURGERY‌ Aging gracefully these days often includes a subtle jab of Botox or deftly placed fillers. Yet, as HEALTH learns, there are some game changing cosmeceutical ingredients out there which may actually slow down the clock and keep you looking younger.

Sept/Oct 2017

48

Cosmeceuticals Defined Skincare has now evolved from routine hydration to effective treatment due to the cosmeceutical active ingredients included in these formulations. A cosmeceutical skincare product basically refers to a product which is marketed as a cosmetic, but contains biologically active ingredients that have an effect on the user. A few examples include anti-wrinkle creams, baldness treatments, moisturizers, and sunscreens.

The Boom The cosmeceuticals trend is growing partly because the baby boomer sector wants to look younger and most importantly, is willing to spend money to help slow down the process of visible aging. Also, consumer awareness has risen especially thanks to the increased usage and awareness of Botox, along with the overload of information on social media.

Key Ingredients From the anti-aging skin care ranges, leading active ingredients include vitamins, polysaccharides, botanicals, proteins, enzymes, and vitamins such as retinol and retinal palmitate. Aside from vitamins A, C, and E, there is the coenzyme category Q10 for effective anti-aging as well as the entire range of AHAs and BHAs, known for their efficacy in stimulating collagen growth, resulting in fresher and younger looking skin.

Some of the Latest Ingredients used Include: Alpha Lipoic acid; an antioxidant that is 400 times stronger than vitamins C or E and stops free radical damage on the skin.

Kinerase; a plant hormone shown to retard aging in plants; long-term effects are improvement in hydration of the skin, texture, reduction of fine wrinkles, and improvement in blotchiness.

Carnosine helps make the skin cells rejuvenate, divide faster, and stops the breakdown of collagen under the skin.

Coenzyme Q10 is a component of cell membranes acting to shuttle electrons in normal metabolism, trap free radicals, and helps regenerate other antioxidants present in the cell, especially vitamin E. TNS Recovery Complex is a harvested human culture skin by-product that is incorporated into topical preparations. It is essential for wound healing and has been shown to reduce the number and depth of wrinkles, fine lines, and improve skin texture/elasticity when used over time.

FITNESS IS FOR EVERYONE

“Fitness is for everyone; not just celebrities or actors. I think it needs to be a lifestyle. So, if you plan it as part of your life, by being conscious of the way you eat, sleep, breathe, and even your water intake; you will be on the right track. This is how I believe we need to consider our fitness. It should be a habit and once it becomes a routine, everyone will be healthier.”

DIET PHILOSOPHY

“I lost a lot of weight for my movie

Sept/Oct 2017

50

‘Daddy’, so now, I want to actually gain a little weight. I had to stop going to the gym for two years for this character and in that time, I never worked out. However, now I am getting back on track; I have a new trainer who is really into functional training and I am planning to build some good quality muscles with a lot of cardio training. With regards to food, I eat about five small meals when I am training consisting of 40 percent carbs, 30 percent good fats, and 30 percent fruit; all which helps keep my metabolic rate high.”

“It’s very important to be a positive person and think positive thoughts. Your mind and the way you think can affect everything you do. This is why I think working out is so important because it connects you with yourself. When we don’t take time out for ourselves in the true sense, we often become negative. Personally for me, meditation is very important, and being in-tune with my spiritual side is very important. If you realize in life that we are just visitors here and everyone has a fixed amount of time on this earth, I think we will be more apt to make use of this valuable time.”

HEALTH AWARDS 2018

“I think these kinds of awards are a great idea. It’s an acknowledgment of someone’s hard work. To lead a good healthy lifestyle and be a positive thinking person takes a lot of hard work and not something that is easy to encourage. It’s very easy for all of us to slip into laziness, blaming, complaining; an overall cycle of negativity. If you notice sports personalities, they are very positive people because they are in tune with their bodies.

Therefore, recognizing people who encourage a healthy lifestyle deserve to be awarded for it.”

ADVICE

“I think you owe it to yourself to be healthy.

We all have a body and it deserves as much respect as our soul does. So keep the right balance. It’s important to know yourself, be connected with yourself, but at the same time, also aim to take care of your external self.

Look at the soul as being the driver and your body as the vehicle.” H

The Top Six Benefits of Exercising During Pregnancy Have you ever wondered whether you should still exercise during pregnancy?

Will it harm the baby? How hard should you push yourself? Dubai VIP Personal Trainer and Pre and Post natal Trainer Rhian Adams reveals the top six benefits of exercising during pregnancy.

Sept/Oct 2017

52

THE BENEFITS

1

Less Weight Gain

Not being able to lose the pregnancy weight gain is the biggest complaint of new moms. Being pregnant requires that we gain weight and maternal body fat, which is healthy and necessary, but you will gain less unnecessary fat if you exercise throughout your pregnancy.

Exercise also helps control blood sugar which will reduce the risk of developing gestational diabetes by 27 percent, which basically means you will bounce back to your pre-pregnancy weight faster.

2

Better Sleep

During pregnancy, it’s hard to find a comfortable position to sleep.

Exercising tires you out so that you sleep more restfully at night. The second biggest complaint of new moms

is also lack of sleep. Research shows that exercising during pregnancy will help you sleep better and in turn; the baby will sleep better and sleep through the night sooner than babies of sedentary moms.

3

Less Aches and Pains

Exercising during pregnancy lowers the risk of developing lower back pain, helping you maintain good posture

by strengthening your back as your abdomen and chest increase in size.

4

Easier Delivery

Childbirth is hard and you want to be physically ready; some term it as ‘the biggest athletic event you’ll ever experience’. One of the best ways to get ready for it is to exercise through pregnancy and build that ‘oomph’ and stamina which can be done by maintaining strong abdominals and cardiovascular system.

One thing is clear – You can have a safe and healthy pregnancy and maintain a high level of fitness. However, it is most important to get the all- clear from your doctor before taking up an exercise program to ensure there are no complications and that it is safe to exercise. The health of your baby is your number one priority.

If in doubt, only exercise under supervision of an instructor qualified to instruct pre/post-natal women.

5

Endorphin Release

Exercise releases endorphins which will work wonders during pregnancy, especially during the first and third trimester tiredness, mood swings, and fatigue. The endorphins in your body will help you feel relaxed and calm.

6

Cardiovascular Benefits

Exercising your cardiovascular system increases blood flow to the body and baby, improving maternal and fetal health. Your body will not only be more efficient at transporting nutrients to the baby, but also the greater blood flow stimulates growth of the fetus and health of the placenta. H Sept/Oct 2017

The Facts about Anabolic Steroids

Many people are willing to go to dangerous extremes to achieve that perfect six pack; yet Dr. Anoop K. Agarwal, Professor of Pharmacology reveals the dangers of indulging in anabolic steroids.

Abuse of Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids have been abused by participants in various professional sports especially in weightlifting, wrestling, boxing, cycling, and football as well as field athletes to attain a competitive edge and is referred to as ‘doping’. This ergogenic use of steroids has been completely banned by sporting bodies.

A number of sportsmen have been banned or stripped of their medals due to the use of steroids; as is the case with British sprinter Dwain Chambers, France cyclist Lance Armstrong, American sprinter Justin Gatlin, and American athlete Marion Jones, to name a few.

Sept/Oct 2017

54

Negative Impact

The American College of Sports Medicine explains that anabolic steroids have the potential to increase lean body mass and muscular strength, depending upon the diet and exercise plan. However, the long term use or excessive doses carry huge health risks. Early side effects include extreme mood swings, rage, acne, and swelling in the hands and feet. Long-term use leads to kidney and liver damage, hypertension, heart enlargement, and increased blood cholesterol, thereby increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Unethical

It is a violation of medical ethics to prescribe and dispense anabolic steroids for non-medical purposes. The MOH has instituted a zero tolerance policy against the non-medical use of steroids for performance and image-enhancing purposes in support of worldwide anti-doping policy. Although there is no scientific evidence to show that anabolic steroids improve skill, agility, or athletic performance, they are quite popular among the sports world as they ‘bulk up’ the muscle mass in response to exercise and training. In a nutshell, anabolic steroids are synthetic substances structurally and functionally related to testosterone and using them in any form for non-medical reasons carry a huge health risk. H

Why Can’t My Child Remember Anything?

MOST OF US ASSUME CHILDREN HAVE STRONG MEMORIES, SO WHEN YOUR CHILD DOESN’T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER MUCH OR GRASP CONCEPTS, IT CAN BECOME WORRYING FOR PARENTS. HEALTH TALKS WITH CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST MAYA FLEIFEL SIDANI ABOUT HOW TO BOOST YOUR CHILD’S MEMORY FROM THE ONSET.

Sept/Oct 2017

56

THE SCIENCE During early childhood, everyday adult-child interactions provide the basis for memory development by fostering language development and helping children acquire scripts for common events.

Also, memory develops largely through social interaction, and parents and teachers play a critical role in assisting children in developing good memories.

THE ROLE OF DIET EPICATECHIN According to a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, it may be possible to boost memory with a plant compound called epicatechin.

This chemical compound is found in several foods and drinks such as tea, cocoa, blueberries, and grapes. Research suggests that epicatechin could help spatial memory, especially when combined with an exercise routine.

FRUITS Consuming antioxidant-rich foods such as apples or apple juice may help reduce problems associated with memory loss, according to research at the University of Massachusetts. The study shows consuming apple juice may improve memory by preventing the loss (due to age) of an essential neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.

SIGNS OF MEMORY LOSS Small children tend to remember certain things easily –the name of their favorite cartoon, for example– and others with great difficulty, such as the face of a distant relative they see only once a year. But for some children, day-to-day memory tasks pose a huge challenge. A child with memory weaknesses initially will appear to understand something, yet need to study it again and again. If the difficulty occurs mostly when listening, he may need to have directions explained several times. If it’s more of a visual problem, though, he may quickly forget what he’s read.

Sometimes memory difficulties cause problems in all areas.

One Canadian study suggests that one key cause may be an underdeveloped hippocampi which may be attributed to developmental amnesia or low-weight birth. Located on each side of the brain, the two hippocampi play a role in acquiring memories and storing and retrieving spatial information.

STEPS TO BOOST YOUR CHILD’S MEMORY: Setting up routines on a daily basis is good practice for memory development. This establishes predictability, comfort, and healthy expectations.

Provide children with opportunities to learn about the world as it contributes significantly to their capacity to remember effectively.

Repeating playtime rituals will help a child remember how to play with a particular toy, learn a particular motor skill, and adapt to the environment.

It is easier for your child to

remember a new skill if it is taught to them several times using short sessions, rather than a few long playtimes.

Develop family traditions and encourage rituals that involve reminiscing.

Context is very important for a baby’s memory skill.

They will recall their surroundings, a song, or a particular game in their short term memory if nothing about it changes or is taken out of context. Alter one aspect and it will not be recognized by a baby even one day later. H

Weather and Your Health Current weather conditions in the UAE can impact the body on many levels and can trigger off colds, flu, sinusitis, and other allergic conditions, such as asthma. Dr. Trilok Chand, Specialist in Respiratory Medicine, has some simple recommendations to help keep you and your family protected during the summer.

Sept/Oct 2017

58

Ear Infections

A cool, refreshing swim is a perfect antidote for a hot summer day in the UAE. However, swimming pools are hotbeds for germs that cause colds and flu.

These bugs thrive in hot, humid, and wet conditions and pose a risk not just to children, but also adults. Often water gets trapped in the ears after swimming, and if not drained, can be the perfect environment for germs. Once the infection sets in, children and adults could experience ear pain and other symptoms.

The best way to avoid such infections is to use a clean swimming pool that is maintained regularly.

It is also important that children use ear plugs while swimming.

Don’t allow your child to go swimming if he/ she has a cold or cough.

Also, increase your child’s vitamin C intake, particularly during the season to protect them from such infections.

A course of antibiotics could also be prescribed to prevent the spread of the infection, based on the doctor’s advice.

Summer Colds

In the summer, colds are usually caused by the Rhino viruses and Enteroviruses.

Enterovirus infection can have more severe, flu-like symptoms, in addition to sneezing and coughing. Summer colds can be spread by people sneezing and coughing and through direct contact with germ-ridden surfaces.

Enteroviruses are also linked to symptoms such as diarrhea, sore throat, rashes, and body aches.

However, the best way to deal with colds is to keep well hydrated, so that nasal passages and the throat remain moist.

Use an antibacterial lotion after touching surfaces such as toilet handles or doorknobs, or wash your hands often, and step outdoors to get some fresh air, especially if you have a sedentary job. Ensure that you get enough vitamins, especially vitamins E and C, to build your immunity. Avoid going to crowded places to avoid getting infected, or spreading the infection if you are sick.

Asthma

Constant changes in air quality (humidity) and increased pollen, mold spores, and dust mites in the air, commonly seen in summer, can trigger an asthma attack. They can irritate the airways and lungs, causing inflammation, spasms, and symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

Installing a dehumidifier at home or workplace is a good initiative. People prone to asthma should avoid being outdoors too much, and should keep windows at home closed to stop pollen and dust from coming in. Airconditioning systems should also be wellmaintained to ensure a steady supply of clean air, which will also keep mold spores at bay. Air purifiers are also helpful in improving the indoor air quality. H

Ways to Add a Wow Factor to Any Space

Understated Luxury “Understated luxury is trending the world over and while you want your home to feel luxurious, it must also be warm and welcoming. A combination of modern and antique furniture continues to trend with reclaimed wooden pieces making a comeback; pick styles that complement your overall interior setting; shades of neutral and royal blue bring a certain class to a place without overdoing it. You want to have a space that seems effortless, so splurge on a few gold or copper fixtures to infuse a bit of glamour to your beautiful interiors.”

• Bespoke lighting and custom furnishings can be expensive, but inexpensive alternatives are easily available to create a great interior.

• Design is no longer confined to one dimension or theme; use contrasting elements for a wow effect.

• Play with colors for walls or upholstery to lift a dull space.

• Choose a palette to flatter the size of your room or even place a mirror to falsely widen the area.

• Wallpaper laid on a single wall and placing iconic furniture pieces in front of it such as an antique arm chair or a classic table gives the room a focal point.

• Large windows allow plenty of natural sunlight, but create artificial lighting if your room is dim.

• Strategic placement of lamps and ambient lights give the setting a gorgeous reflection of the room.

• Add a piece of art, it doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, but certainly something to draw attention and add to your décor.

• Accessories, fresh flowers, and plants can make a house a home. H

The Blood Group Diet Sept/Oct 2017

64

AMONGST THE MANY HEALTHY EATING PROGRAMS OUT THERE, THERE IS ONE THAT LOOKS AT SPECIFIC BLOOD GROUPS AND ACCORDINGLY, PRESCRIBES A WAY OF EATING FOR LIFE. HEALTH INVESTIGATES THE BLOOD GROUP DIET AND WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE FROM OTHER DIETS OUT THERE.

THE CONCEPT

The Founder of The Blood Group Diet Peter D‘Ablo, a naturist by profession, noticed the link between greater incidences of peptic ulcers and blood type O’s and greater incidences of stomach cancer and blood type A’s. This led him to continue his research and compile the studies in his book, “Eat Right for Your Type.”

THE BLOOD GROUPS

There are 4 blood groups: O, A, B and AB. The blood type diet adheres to specific factors: One is your blood type is a powerful genetic fingerprint that identifies you. Also, when

you eat according to individual characterized blood type diet, you will be healthier, lose weight faster, and slow down the process of aging. Moreover, blood type is a more reliable measure of your unique identity than race, culture, or gender.

SPECIFIC FOODS

The Blood Group Diet is a detailed list of 16 food groups from meat to condiments. Each food group is further divided into three categories: ‘highly beneficial’ to the body (acts medicinally), ‘neutral’ (acts like a food), or ‘avoid’ (acts like a toxin.) Food is prescribed by weekly portions according to specific nationality. The plan

is not designed to lose weight specifically, but emphasizes optimum performance in health.

TOXIN ELIMINATION

As the body makes the dramatic shift of eliminating foods that are toxic for that particular blood type, the first phase that will happen is the body will attempt to flush out the buildup of toxic residue left over from years of incorrect eating. Since these are mostly located in fatty tissue; the process of toxic elimination is one that leads to fat elimination. H

THE BLOOD TYPES AND WHAT THEY SHOULD EAT: TYPE O:

• Meat is prescribed because of the high levels of stomach acidity.

• Wheat gluten and sweet corn are causes of weight gain.

• The best physical activity is high level sports such as aerobics.

• Have a high rate of peptic ulcers and other inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

TYPE A:

• A vegetarian diet that is high in carbohydrates and low in fat.

• Meat and kidney beans are weight gain factors as the low acidity in the stomach is not able to metabolize animal protein.

• Gentle exercise is prescribed.

• The risk of cancer and heart disease is prevalent if toxins are not eliminated from the diet.

TYPE B:

• This is the only blood group that does well with dairy products.

• Sweet corn, lentils, and peanuts may contribute to weight gain.

• Engage in a moderate form of exercise such as walking.

• Have a high risk of slow growing viruses that may attack the nervous system if you eat incorrectly for your body type.

TYPE AB:

• The diet prescribes dairy foods, tofu, and green vegetables.

• This group has the most intolerance of the blending of A and B and the combined benefits also.

• Red meat, kidney beans, lima beans, and wheat may contribute to weight gain.

• Engage in calming exercises and relaxation techniques.

• Type AB blood group has the friendliest of the immune systems of all the blood groups.

Aimless Eating… Why We Do It

Sept/Oct 2017

66

Just one more cookie or a tiny helping of pasta; we all do it. The question is why can’t we just say no? HEALTH delves deeper into the ways we can consciously control what we eat and keep the excess kilos at bay.

The Brain

Most of us don’t overeat because we are hungry; rather we indulge because our mind tells us to do so.

According to Senior Nutritionist Lovely Ranganath, many people overeat to cope with the stresses of life. To get out of this vicious cycle, we must first identify the particular stressors that trigger the urge to overeat. For example, it could be that after a stressful day at the office, you tend to overeat at dinner time. Or munch on junk food all day long when you are under financial pressure.

Understanding the Stressor

Once you have figured out the stressor for overeating, learn and practice problem-solving skills. These skills will help you respond appropriately to difficult situations. The end result is when the problems that trigger the urge to overeat are dealt with using alternative ways; people may find they eat less and that their eating behaviors begin to respond appropriately to internal cues of hunger rather than inappropriately to external signals of stress.

Solutions

To eliminate inappropriate eating cues, Ranganath recommends you shop for groceries only when you are not hungry, make a list when shopping and stick to it, try to buy foods that are low in fat, and serve low-fat meals. In order to suppress the cues you cannot eliminate, she recommends eating in only one place at a table and in one room; use plates, bowls, and eating utensils. “Be sure to clear plates directly into the garbage and minimize contact with excessive

food,” she advises. Also, make an effort to serve individual plates and avoid putting serving dishes on the table. Be sure to leave the table when you have finished eating. “Also, make small portions of food look large by spreading food out and serving it on small plates,” she explains. “Be sure to control deprivation by consuming regular meals, avoid skipping meals, avoid getting tired, and avoid boredom by keeping cues to fun activities in sight.”

Moods Linked With Overeating:

• Sadness is linked to eating foods usually associated with happiness to provide comfort.

• Boredom is linked to eating to fill time.

• Anxiety is linked to unconscious nervous eating to relieve stress.

• Childhood eating habits includes foods associated with celebration and punishment from childhood.

• Unspoken emotions includes food used to “stuff ” emotions down so they don’t have to be dealt with.

THE FACTS ABOUT ORGANIC

Sept/Oct 2017

68

From vegetables to meat, these days, organic foods are definitely a great option for anyone wanting to stay healthy. Yet, the flip side is organic foods can be expensive and sometimes hard to find. To clear the confusion, HEALTH speaks with Nils Accad, Founder of The Organic Foods and Café, who lays down the facts about organic foods.

Why it Matters

Organic foods, points out Accad, are really important since chemical pesticides and fertilizers used in conventional agriculture remain in the products we eat and can ultimately create havoc in our bodies. These also contribute to the creation of free radicals in your body- antioxidants are required in order for your body to get rid of free radicals-if you have a lot of free radicals and not enough antioxidants; they get stored and may develop into a tumor over years. This can lead to cancer or a weakening of your body’s immune system working overtime to get rid of these toxins.

Cost

As volumes are smaller, organic food is definitely more expensive.

“Organic food is real food made with nutrients and not created to sell by weight- like chicken- which is fed growth promoters which cause weight gain,” he says. “It also takes longer to grow; as in the case of chickens, you cannot breed another batch until space is available again.”

Important Organic Foods to Include in Your Diet

• Whole foods, such as whole wheat bread or rye bread instead of white.

• Brown rice instead of white should be eaten as these provide more fiber and nutrients.

• Lettuce, as this is typically the most polluted crop.

• Beef, as typically inorganic beef has been injected with hormones.

• Chickens, which are almost always typically fattened using hormones and other chemicals.

• Pasta and pasta sauces.

• Potatoes • Green vegetables such as cucumbers, spinach, and beans. H

MOVERS SHAKERS

An overload of homework and studies, combined with an increasing dependence on electronic gadgets for entertainment gives even more incentive to moms out there to prepare healthy, yet delicious school lunches. To make it easier, Dubai-based entrepreneur Sara Ghosn has created her home grown brand 'Yum in a Box' to provide nutritious and well-balanced meals to children between 2 to 10 years of age directly to the schools.

THE START

“I was set to change the way children view and consume healthy food and subsequently, turned my back on the corporate world to focus my attention on this passion project through which I hope to tackle the growing rise in child obesity in the UAE. Children are the most receptive and adaptable little beings and it is our duty to instill positive eating habits that reinforce a healthy relationship with food from the very beginning.”

Sept/Oct 2017

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

“The process is not easy; it all comes down to patience. With so many parents battling with their kids to get them to eat their veggies and other healthy nutrients, we are hoping to simplify the process for moms who are entrusted with the task of constantly finding ways to make food interesting and diverse for their fussy eaters by creating unique recipes and allowing children this experience to grow their taste buds. At the end of the

day, we are dealing with children and therefore, every aspect has to answer to their curious, inquisitive, and playful nature – that includes the look and feel of the food itself. We make sure the packaging, food, texture, and colors are appealing enough to get a child to finish his meal.”

HOW IT WORKS

“We are based on a monthly or termly subscription. Based on the nurseries or schools requirements, we instill a procedure that works best for the both of us. We currently deliver to nurseries and schools we are in partnership with. For the time being, we deliver only in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but there are definitely plans for growth within the UAE and other countries.”

NEZESAUSSI FRIDAY BRUNCH NOT MANY PLACES IN DUBAI CAN CLAIM TO BE MADE FOR DIE-HARD SPORTS FANS, BUT AS WE ENTERED THE FRIDAY BRUNCH AT NEZESAUSSI GRILL, LOCATED IN THE MANZIL HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN DUBAI, WE WERE GREETED BY ENORMOUS BIG SCREEN TVS, SPORTS MEMORABILIA, AND MUSIC PLAYING. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A RELAXED, FUN PLACE TO BE THAT ALSO AIRS LIVE INTERNATIONAL RUGBY MATCHES.

The brunch was set up in a way that the salads and breads were served in a buffet self-service style in addition to the other side which was a self-serve buffet style of desserts. Some of the salads included mozzarella and tomato, macaroni, and tuna; each made without the usual heaviness of cream based dressings. There was also an expansive range of freshly baked breads with assorted cheeses.

Starters are also pre-selected from a set menu and then brought to the table. We had fried chicken legs with French fries, calamari rings, and crispy spring rolls. Our mains consisted of roast baby chicken accompanied with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy. The chicken was tender and flavorful throughout and made a hearty, but not too heavy meal. The other main was the catch of the day: a crispy whole fish served with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and a generous amount of lemon butter. Also, as a change from the dry roast dishes, we sampled the lamb stew, served Moroccan style in a tagine, complete with potatoes and carrots, and served with rice. This was an elegant form of comfort food.

There is also a kids set brunch menu which is perfect for little ones as well as a kids corner to play. The menu includes mini beef hotdogs, fish fingers, Spaghetti Bolognese, and chicken nuggets, to name a few, alongside kid friendly milkshakes in flavors like Oreo, chocolate, and peanut butter.

Desserts were of high quality and included some of my all-time favorites such as mini tarts, custards, Crème Brule, and assorted cakes and pastries.

The Verdict: A very chilled out vibe coupled with some tasty and healthy grilled food makes this a fun place to spend a few hours on a Friday afternoon. H Contact details: Nezesaussi Grill Downtown Manzil Downtown For Bookings: 04 423 8899 Sept/Oct 2017

Health Trends HEALTH PRESENTS THE BEST OF GLOBAL AND REGIONAL HEALTH TRENDS TO ENHANCE HEALTH AND WELLBEING.

A to Z

THIS MONTH: M

MACADAMIA NUTS

Packed with nutrients, macadamia nuts are loaded with healthy fats which help maintain optimal heart health. High in monounsaturated fatty acids, these help lower cholesterol levels and triglycerides, a type of body fat. They also include important minerals and vitamins such as manganese, folate, protein, and healthy fats, in addition to vitamins A and B.

MORINGA

Being touted as a new super food, Moringa can help fight inflammation in our body’s cells which can lead to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Moringa helps lessen inflammation by suppressing inflammatory enzymes and proteins in the body.

THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET

BETTER THAN VITAMIN C?

The Mediterranean Diet is considered one of the best, especially for optimal cardiovascular health. A diet study conducted by The New England Journal of Medicine followed 22,000 Greek adults for almost 4 years. During that time, 275 died. The conclusion was the closer a person followed the Mediterranean diet: consuming lots of olives, olive oil, grilled meats, rustic bread, vegetables, and fruits, were 33 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular disease and 24 percent less likely to die from cancer.

Ascorbyl palmitate has been recognized to be more effective than ascorbic acid (vitamin C) because ascorbyl palmitate comes from olive oil and is bound to the ascorbic acid in ester form, making it fat soluble so it can target the cell membrane better.

Vitamin C is water soluble so it protects the interior of the cell. Therefore, experts recommend taking vitamin C ester rather than just vitamin C alone.

MOHAP ISSUES WARNING AGAINST RISKS OF MALPRACTICE

BY UNLICENSED PRACTITIONERS

do not offer access to emergency care in case of complication that could be in the form of burns, fainting, fatigue and other health complications that occur with unlicensed practitioners. This is happening outside the licensed health institutions in UAE

UAE Health systems aim at ensuring public health and medical liability law protects the community against malpractice The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) has issued a warning against cases of malpractice impacting patients in some medical centers and clinics, that do not comply with the official health regulations. This is part of efforts to raise awareness among the community, and to protect all individuals from malpractice and from medical equipment’s in unlicensed beauty centers as well as nutritional supplements with therapeutic claims and hormonal supplements in fitness centers without having the necessary licensing, and that poses health threats and can cause complications.

Cosmetic surgeries attract beauty aspirers H.E. Dr. Amin Hussein Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for Public Health Policy and Licensing at MOHAP, noted that unlicensed cosmetic procedures can lead to serious complications. Most of these procedures are being conducted by non-specialized professionals with no medical background who use poor-quality cosmetic products and operate in environments that lack hygiene and proper sterilization and Sept/Oct 2017

Some beauty centers outside the licensed health institutions may temporarily employ visiting doctors or cosmeticians who bring in low-quality cosmetics, and conceal patient medical reports. This sort of malpractice is a criminal offense and is deemed punishable by law.

H.E. Dr. Al Amiri also discussed popular procedures such as Botox and fillers, in addition to other unmonitored use of laser procedures. He noted that some people working in the field of beauty do not have any form of medical education, and they perform procedures in which they do not specialize. Some false practitioners even offer homebased services.

Some Fitness clubs are providing medical substances that claim to enhance muscle structure without license The Assistant Undersecretary noted that some fitness centers sell and promote supplements that claim to achieve enhanced muscle structure, under the supervision of trainers who lack experience and are unaware of the risks borne by these products, its source, quality and licensing status. This can lead to a number of complications that affect the liver and kidneys. We have noticed an increasing number of hospitalizations as a result of consuming these medications, and mainly the injectable hormones.

The Ministry works in cooperation with different municipalities to monitor these nutritional substances being sold to young

people and bodybuilders.

Medical liability law is a legislative umbrella that protects society from wrongdoing H.E. Dr. Al Amiri explained that the Ministry has worked to implement a strict framework for better control over requirements for medical practices. Article 4 of the decree stipulates the following: The doctor must follow the rules, regulations and procedures for practicing the profession according to his degree and field of specialization; record the health status of the patient and his/ her personal and family history prior to initiating diagnosis and treatment; and use the necessary diagnostic and medical devices in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with all due diligence and according to the accepted scientific principles, and explain the various treatment options to patients.

The law also requires a thorough description of the treatment, the dose, and the method of use, in a clearly written statement with the name and signature of the practitioner, and the date of the prescription. The same should be explained to the patient or his caregiver. The patient or his caregiver must also be notified about the nature of his disease, its level, and this depends on the psychological status of the patient.

The patient’s caregivers are required to be informed should the patient be unable to understand, due to poor condition. A patient or his guardian must be informed about any complications that can occur as a result of the treatment or surgery he or she will undergo, with the ways to treat it.

Inspections are regularly conducted at all medical facilities H.E. Dr. Al Amiri explained that the Empowerment and Health Compliance Department has

appointed a specialized team to conduct regular inspections of all medical facilities to ensure full compliance with the requirements and regulations.

Secret shoppers and members of the community also carry out inspections to ensure public safety. When instances of malpractice are uncovered, security authorities conduct seizures, with violators transferred to the appropriate judicial authority. The erring establishment may be closed, and the closing period depends on the seriousness of the damaged caused.

Access to reliable medical treatments from licensed centers H.E requests patients seeking cosmetic treatments to consult professionals in licensed establishments, to protect their health and save their money.

Especially that UAE health sector has access to a range of advanced medical facilitates approved by some of the most reputed international health accreditation bodies.

Community members are urged to contact the Ministry or local health authorities should they know of any malpractice being conducted The Ministry emphasizes the importance of disregarding any health information not published by the ministry or local health authorities.

Members of the community are urged to contact the Ministry should they see any misleading advertisements or know of any malpractice being conducted outside of licensed health facilities. Community members can get in touch by using the toll-free number 80011111, via the Tamenni Portal, or by contacting the police.

EMIRATI HOUSING PROJECT process of building homes for Emirati nationals.

Launched in late 2016, the Bayti initiative reduces the time taken for Emiratis to design and approve a house from three months to only three weeks.

Houses are constructed in 58 architecturally and structurally pre-approved exteriors – of which ARACO designed 12 – with modular interiors adaptable to the needs and size of each individual family.

Abdul Rahim Architectural Consultants (ARACO), a leading engineering consultant in design and project management in the UAE, has been selected from more than 40 firms to provide design and consultancy services for Abu Dhabi Housing Authority’s (ADHA) Bayti initiative, which streamlines the

Commenting on the project, ARACO Abu Dhabi Branch Manager, Yousef Abu Shaaban, said: “In the past this process included searching for suitable consultants, preparing the design, assessing the presented blueprints before issuing a building permit and starting

construction. That process could take as long as three months.

Now, the clients can choose from pre-approved designs already licensed by the Department of Municipal Affairs. After that the presented blueprints will be assessed and a building permit will be issued, within two weeks, before the construction begins”

Abu Shaaban added: “The Bayti initiative provides citizens with houses based on the highest standards of quality in accordance with all the government regulations and standards in force. The wide range of designs offers different housing styles, which range between modern, Eastern and Arabic.”

The designs are approved by authorities, including municipalities, to make the process of construction smoother and more convenient for Emiratis granted a loan for housing in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Designed in modern, Andalusian, Islamic and heritage styles, the homes range from four to eight bedrooms and homeowners can select wall colors, fittings and fixtures.

In line with Abu Dhabi Municipality’s strict building codes, ARACO has adhered to all regulations and standards enforced by various entities, confirming the design’s compliance with the expectations of future homeowners.

position as a global cultural tourism destination.

The MoU establishes a mutual communication and cooperation between the two entities, focusing on an enhanced joint association in the fields of tourism, culture, and

Commenting on the MoU, HE Saif Saeed Ghobash, Director General of TCA Abu Dhabi said: “Our partnership with Emirates Heritage Club seeks to revitalise the emirate’s rich heritage and cultural assets so as to develop tourism and boost investment in this vital sector. It also aims to document unique cultural

heritage elements by experts, narrators, and academics from both sides.”

Ghobash also explained that signing the MoU falls within the framework of Abu Dhabi's strategic objectives of establishing a strong link between the emirate’s rich past and cultural vision for the future, instilling both in the identity of young generations.

HE Sinan Ahmed Al Muhairi said that the signing is another milestone towards developing tourism in Abu Dhabi, highlighting its cultural heritage. The MoU is aligned to the Abu Dhabi plan for fostering tourism in the emirate.

Al Muhairi also noted that both parties will exchange expertise and information in the respective fields of tourism, culture and heritage. They will also coordinate cultural events and activities, marketing, and cross-promotion campaigns on all social networking channels and websites.
