dsearch Www ot Love y You clean complex carbs (oats, yam, brown rice and whole grains), lean protein (chicken, white fish, lean beef and egg whites), lots of nutrient and fiber rich veggies (broccoli, spinach and asparagus), ‘good’ fats (salmon, almonds, walnuts and avocado) and of course, plenty of H2O (at least 4 litres of water a day)!
As a daily supplement, I take a multivitamin and fish oil for overall health benefits. A shot of BRAND’S Essence of Chicken is good too so that I can stay on top of things. It contains an active compound called ProBeptigen® which has been proven to boost learning and memory. This is especially handy when I’m training Muay Thai… Gotta stay focused!
I’m still a beginner so it’s important for me to stay alert when sparring with my trainer so I don’t get hit! When my mind is alert, it gives me better focus and reflexes to avoid attacks and to strike back efficiently with my body and effectively. The technique can be quite technical and speed gives a huge advantage.
I definitely wouldn’t want to get socked in face at Muay Thai again. The last time that happened, I almost got knocked out!
ProBeptigen® is the magic ingredient in BRAND’S Essence of Chicken which has been proven to boost mental concentration and memory. Combined with Carnosine, it promotes brain health and brain fitness, which increases mental concentration, focus and willpower. Now THAT will absolutely give you a greater advantage when at work AND working out!
I trust in BRAND’S Essence of Chicken because it contains no artificial flavouring, colouring or preservatives. It’s been around for 175 years and is known for its efficiency in mental alertness.
I checked out their Facebook page yesterday (link to nn_gtrack.php?click&gid=10971) and saw this awesome contest called “Stay Switched On, Stay Open To Opportunities” with BRAND’S Essence of Chicken!
Basically until 31st May 2012, you stand a chance to win over S$30,000 worth of cash and prizes just by spotting and sending in this 8 number code on the inside of the promotional sleeve (the promo pack costs $18.95). Looks legit, I’m going to give it a shot… no pun intended! By the way, the promo pack above should come with a sleeve that contains the "Stay Switch On Stay Open to Opportunities” blurb on the front panel.

Now WWYRD (What Would You Rather Do?)
Sometimes we do things out of habit and we don't really stop to think about it. Like ordering a diet coke with a sandwich. Or Redbull with vodka. All-the-time.
I know a number of people who've tried everything to lose weight - from going on low-carb diets, low-fat diets, cabbage soup diets or blood type diets, to name a few. Somehow they don't realize just how many calories beverages can contribute to their daily diet. Most people try to reduce their calorie intake by focusing on food. Not so easy. Drinks contain calories too and can really add up to your daily calorie intake.
Ever wondered how much sugar is in your favorite energy drink?
Fact: You'd rather drink a Mountain Dew than eat a cake. But not until you realize how much sugar is in a bottle!
Your favorite beverages can add up to more than 1000 calories to your daily diet.
Here's a better picture:
Drink water or satisfy your sugar cravings with a fruit or natural peanut butter instead!
How do you calculate how much sugar is in your drink?
grams of sugar (g) ÷ 4 = teaspoons of sugar
40 grams ÷ 4 = 10 teaspoons
Sometimes food companies market their products in the best possible light but sometimes the information can be vague or misleading. So watch out if it's more than 1 serving per container. Calculate by
Multiplying: teaspoons of sugar per serving (x) number of servings = teaspoons of sugar per container
(Example: 2 servings per container: 10 teaspoons x 2 servings = 20 teaspoons per container) *gasp!*
Rethink your drink!

I met DJ Kaku at Filter last night and he shared his excitement about spinning at the JW Jet Black F1 party. Been listening to a few of his mixes since DJ Bento shared his soundcloud page on Facebook so I'm super stoked that he's spinning at tonight's party. Get this track for your gym playlist, it's one my favorites!
