#STAYFITWITHME: LET'S GET "JUICY"

Juicing is trending!

Virtually it's recommended that we get 6 - 8 servings of vegetables and fruits per day and very few of us actually get that. #Juicing is an easy way to virtually guarantee that you will reach your daily target for vegetables. It is also the keys to giving you radiant, energetic life and truly optimal health.




Benefits of Juicing:

  • Helps you absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables
  • Allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner
  • You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet


Whole fruit or Juice?

Did you know that 95% of the vitamins and enzymes that our bodies need are found in the juice of raw vegetables and fruits? When you drink juice, highly concentrated vitamins, mineral and enzymes rapidly enter the bloodstream absorbing all of the nutritional benefits of the vegetables and fruits, giving your digestive organs a much-needed rest. To get the same amount of nutrients  as one 16 oz juice, you'll need to munch on 2 lbs of carrots, 10 - 12 apples or 8 lbs of spinach!

How to store your juice?

It's best to drink all of your juice immediately. However, you can store it for up to 24 hours with only moderate nutritional decline if you handle the juices carefully.

  • There should be a minimum amount of air in the jar as the oxygen in air will oxidize and damage the juice. So, put your juice in a glass jar with an airtight lid and fill it to the very top.
  • Store the juice immediately in the fridge and consume it when you are ready within 24 hours after juicing.

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner!  What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime.  And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion.  Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead.  I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you.  Let me introduce you to -  THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR. Upon walking in, I was amazed by their simple yet welcoming ambiance. I was ushered in by rows of wine displayed

#DINEWITHME: YUK SOU HIN | WEIL HOTEL (IPOH)

Done with my busy schedules, I finally have the time to sit down and blog about my dining experience at YUK SOU HIN @ WEIL HOTEL (IPOH) which took place about two months ago.  I was being invited by the hotel's PR Team at the first place to drop by and review the dim sum which was spearheaded by their   Hong Kong Master Chef, Mr. Chung Ho Shi but unfortunately I'm unable to attend. Later after that, I visited the restaurant with my mum when I dropped by in Ipoh the other day.  It was a busy morning. We went to the restaurant around 11am without any advance reservation, and it took us about 25 minutes to settle down with a table.  The restaurant was packed with customers that day, due to Public Holiday.  Not my first dining experience at Weil Hotel,  YUK SOU HIN  is the final restaurant to wrap up my adventure at this new hotel besides than  THE DECK  and  TIFFIN .  Bored while waiting, I started to explore around and tapping on my Iphone.  While wai
