SPECIAL feature

A guide to

Ramadan Ramadan is a holy month that has been venerated and observed for centuries and that has special significance for more than a billion Muslims all over the world. Muslims believe that during the month of Ramadan, Allah revealed the first verses of the Quran, the holy book of Islam.

20 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 20

www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 2:19 PM

o celebrate this ‘month of blessings’, Muslims mark it by prayer, fasting and charity. Fasting is particularly important to Muslims for a number of reasons. Firstly, they believe that by paying less attention to mortal needs such as food, smoking and even intercourse, a person is better able to be in tune with God and their spiritual side. In addition to this, the fast serves to remind Muslims of the suffering of the poor, and in turn, this reinforces the importance of charity. To fast during Ramadan means to eat or drink nothing, including water, during daylight hours. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam and all able Muslims take part in it from about the age of twelve. Some people, such as diabetics, hospital patients and nursing or pregnant women, are exempt from fasting for obvious reasons. While non-Muslims are not required to fast, they are legally obliged not to eat, drink or smoke in all public spaces during the fasting hours. The UAE’s police do enforce cultural sensitivity, so this means everyone (including non-Muslims) must follow suit. Of course, behind closed doors you may eat, smoke and drink to your heart’s content. In addition, many restaurants and hotels continue to serve food at breakfast and lunchtime, but this is served to non-Muslims behind screened-off areas. To be caught eating, drinking or smoking in public usually results in a verbal warning, but do be careful. Many short jail sentences have been handed out in the past to those abusing the religious law. Generally speaking, the police are lenient, but your understanding and cooperation are expected and much appreciated by the authorities. Resident and tourists alike are strongly encouraged to show consideration for those

who are observing this special month - one way you can do this is by choosing to wear modest clothing. Wear a shawl, t-shirt or jacket over bare shoulders, leggings under shorter skirts or a sarong - these are great cover-ups that show you respect the local culture. A typical day during Ramadan sees Muslim families get up early for Sohour, a pre-dawn meal. In fact, according to the Holy Quran, “One may eat and drink at any time during the night,” but only, “until you can plainly distinguish a white thread from a black thread by the daylight; then keep the fast until night”. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal known as Iftar. Iftar usually begins with dates and sweet drinks that provide a quick energy boost. Evening time is when Ramadan really comes alive everywhere. Iftar is when people come together to celebrate and is a great way for non-Muslims to get to know their Muslim neighbours. You will see marquees of comfortable cushioned majlis seating springing up all over town, at people’s houses, as extensions to restaurants and as main features at nearly all of the hotels - it is a magical time. Many tents are adorned with fairy lights and the smells of cooking and shisha emitted are enticing and exciting. Orders of the evening are plates of dates, moutabel and other delicious Arabian foods and shisha smoking, coupled with good conversation and a game of backgammon, or taula in Arabic. Day to day living alters during the festive period. Working hours for Muslims change, allowing them to go home in the afternoon for a siesta. Shopping times also change, with shops opening later in the afternoon and evening after sunset and Maghreb prayer, when families break the fast.

Connector AUGUST | 21 7/25/12 2:19 PM

SPECIAL feature Islam uses a lunar calendar, and therefore each month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Because the lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than the solar calendar used elsewhere, Islamic holidays such as Ramadan ‘move’ each year. On, or around the evening of the 27th day of the month, Muslims also celebrate the Laylatal-Qadr (the night of power). It is believed that on this night Prophet Muhammad (PBUH peace be upon him) first received the revelation of the Holy Quran. According to the Holy Quran, this is the time when God determines the course of the world for the following year. Ramadan will end with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which literally means the ‘festival of breaking the fast’. At Eid al-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, embellish their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children and enjoy visits with friends and family. Zakaat (the giving of alms) is the third pillar of Islam and is widely practiced during Ramadan and at Eid. We hope you will delight in the quieter days and the bustling nights that this holy month brings, but most of all, we hope that you will

sense and experience some of the spirit of Ramadan, a special time for reflection, when family and friends get together and community ties are strengthened.

Ramadan dos and don’ts • Don’t… smoke, drink or eat in public during the hours of sunrise to sunset. This includes while you are driving as well as in public places, such as shopping malls. • Don’t… sing and dance in public. • Don’t… be overly rowdy. Keep stereos on a low volume while driving, on the beach or in your house, so as not to disturb your Muslim neighbours. • Don’t… wear clothes that are considered revealing in public places, i.e. supermarkets and shopping malls. • Do… smoke, drink and eat in the privacy of your home or hotel room. • Do… get sociable in the evenings for Iftar. • Do… give your party leftovers to the poor. Ramadan is renowned for its charitable nature. • Do… wish your neighbours “Ramadan Kareem”.

plants Plants bring natural beauty to your living space. In doing so they create texture, balance and transform their environment into one that is welcoming and comforting. However, there is more to plants than meets the eye. Plants have long been proven to reduce stress; they do this so well that one glance at a plant lowers your heart rate. They also help clean the air we breathe by filtering sand absorbing toxins and acting as mini oxygen factories.

aving good indoor air quality is very important, especially since many of us spend so much time inside. NASA recently carried out a two year study to find out which plants were best to filter the air of their ‘home’ - the NASA space station. In particular, they studied plants best able not only of producing oxygen from CO2, but also of absorbing harmful chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde and/or trichloroethylene. NASA’s research produced an unexpected, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, low energy and completely natural method of detoxifying both our houses on Earth and theirs in space using common indoor plants. The top three plants recommended by NASA’s researchers are: • Spathiphyllum, also known as Peace Lily, is a general air cleanser of many environmental pollutants. Peace Lillies will

50 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 50

even filter contaminants such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene. Place one plant per every 10m2. • Chlorophytum comosum, better known as the Spider Plant is a popular and commonly used houseplant. It grows from a central rosette and produces new shoots with small white flowers, as well as baby plantlets. Spider Plants are very easy to care for and thrive under nearly any conditions. • Epipremnum aureum, also called Devils Ivy, or Golden Pathos, is an excellent air cleaning plant. It is however toxic when consumed, for example by pets, so care should be taken in order to avoid this. Its decorative marbled leaves and easy maintenance make it very popular amongst indoor plants. Devil’s Ivy requires very little care and should be watered only when the soil feels dry. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 2:20 PM

sing a checklist of tasks can help keep you organised and make sure you do not leave out an important moving task. We suggest that you start the list well in advance - a month or more before the move. Just jot a few things down and then leave the list on the kitchen counter or fridge where everyone can see it. As you think of new things to add, write them down right away; it might be too late when you think of them again. As the time for the move draws closer, you may want to transfer the list to a calendar format. Some of the items, like notifying the phone company, will be things you can do in advance, so assign those a date and then each day check the calendar to see what tasks need to be done. Cross off those that you have accomplished and you can easily see what is left to do. This method also works well if you are delegating some of the items on the list; you can add the name of the person responsible next to the task and this will avoid any last minute ‘but I thought you were going to do that …’ problems. When the day of the move comes, you will probably still have plenty left on your to do list, so make sure that it is the last thing you pack up on your way out and the first thing you unpack at your new home. You will probably need to add tasks that are specific to your situation, but some common items on your to do list might include: 52 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 52

Moving is a chaotic and stressful time. There are so many things to arrange - getting utilities switched, signing the kids up for a new school, scheduling the movers, packing the house. With all the other things you do, it is not easy to find time to get everything done. • Rent crates, buy boxes and get packing material - this can be done in advance. • Pack unnecessary items like knick knacks and anything you can do without until after the move - getting this stuff out of the way ahead of time will make moving day easier. • Get your new house inspected by a reputable maintenance company. • Arrange for utility shut off/reconnection for Etisalat and DEWA. • Notify business associates, friends and family of your change of address and new phone number. Put your new address and phone on cheques and business cards. • Schedule a final walk through to inspect your new house. • Fix any items that you find need doing in your final walk through your old house. • Rent a moving truck (and movers unless you are moving yourself ). • Schedule move out cleaning so your house is clean for the new owners. • Schedule your pets to go to a friend or kennel on the day of the move. Having a moving checklist will not magically make everything happen right, but it can help to make things run a little more smoothly. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 2:20 PM

Make your home more relaxing

hroughout our lives, many of us are led to believe that relaxation is best pursued outside of the home. As a result, we spend many months looking forward to week long vacations, rarely fully appreciating the leisure time we are blessed with within our own four walls. It is possible, however, to experience the same utterly relaxed state you slip into while on holiday in your own home. Here are three ways to do so. Get some greenery - Live plants, greenery, water and organic materials can help your space get that nature â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that everyone loves. Adding oxygengenerating plants to your home can improve air quality, make the place look great and keep you more relaxed. If you plant herbs in pots, you will also get a miniature kitchen-garden to boot.

Burn some incense - Human beings have been blessed with several senses, many of which can make you feel more relaxed. Different smells work for different people so you need to experiment, but a popular choice is incense. Incense has been used for centuries as a way to enhance relaxation and mediation via smell. Home Spa - Create a space in your bathroom for candles, bubble bath, a bath pillow and anything else you find relaxing such as your favourite iPod tunes or a magazine you love. A candlelit bath is a huge stress reliever, whether you are a man or woman. Water is therapeutic, taking away achy leg pain, foot pain, back pain and headaches.

Your questions ANSWERED I have received an email from my wife who is visiting her family in Egypt. She has told me that she is not coming back and that my children are better off with her. Is this abduction? The children have lived in Dubai all their lives. - Paul, Dubai It is upsetting for all concerned, especially the children who think they are going on holiday and then have to be told they will not be returning to their home. Egypt is a Non Hague Convention Country such as the UAE. As Guardian to the children under Sharia principles, it is possible you could obtain a return Order from Egypt, however, as there is a Treaty between the UAE and Egypt. The Laws of Egypt are also similar to those of the UAE and applications need to be made for the return of the children to you as their Guardian. It is going to be a costly matter but you must decide what is best for the children. Under Sharia law she would ordinarily be entitled to custody but not when they are in

a different country to you, and especially when the children have been taken away from their home in this way. If you agreed to them staying in Egypt, of course that is another matter. Hague Convention Countries have an automatic right of enforcement between each other but in this case, there is a Treaty between the UAE and Egypt that can be enforced as to your rights and those of the children.

Owning property offshore

hy would you own a property in Dubai through an offshore company and not in your own individual name? The Wills Specialists answer some frequently asked questions, which will help clear any doubts surrounding this topic. What is the main benefit of owning property through an offshore company? Is it not better to have the property held in your own name or joint names? The inheritance laws in Dubai are not as straight forward, nor the same, as those back in the UK or the European Union. If a foreigner owns property in Dubai and passes away, the laws of their home country may not apply to their assets. Under Sharia Law there is a fixed distribution of assets upon death of the deceased owner and there is no concept of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right of survivorshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, for example where property passes to the surviving joint owner. By structuring your property into an offshore company, you ensure that Sharia Law will most definitely not apply to your assets and that lengthy probate proceedings are avoided. What type of offshore companies can we use? Since 1st January 2011, the only offshore company that can be used to hold real estate owned in Dubai is the Jebel Ali Offshore Company. This company does not allow you to trade, give you residency nor work permits. The shares of the Jebel Ali Offshore Company can be held in personal names but we usually have the shares held by an offshore company 100%. We recommend common law offshore jurisdictions such as British Virgin Islands. This means that if a death occurs Sharia Law 56 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 56

will not apply as your assets would be held in the name of the offshore entity and not in individual names. The probate process would also take place in foreign courts. What are the other benefits of holding a property in Dubai offshore? The offshore entity can be designed to suit joint investors. So a group of investors can hold shares in an offshore entity that ultimately protects their portion of shares in the property. It also provides confidentiality and privacy. Hence protecting your assets. If I already own property, can I still transfer this into an offshore company? Yes, you can transfer all freehold property held in your own personal name into the name of the offshore entity. Can I own other assets through the company? Yes. A company is a legal entity and can own any asset. So bank accounts, stocks and shares and properties in the UAE and internationally can all be held by an offshore company. The Wills Specialists is a law firm with a team of British qualified solicitors, dedicated to the business of offshore structures, trusts, wills, business succession planning and asset protection. The firm is accredited by the Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department and Dubai Rulers Court.

Summer

safety tips

n addition to using sunscreen, supervising children around water and protecting them from the heat, you can keep your kids safe this summer by:

c keeping younger kids away from lawn mowers. The American Academy of Paediatrics advises that children younger than 16 years old should not be allowed to use ride-on mowers and children younger than 12 should not use walk-behind mowers. c using insect repellents when necessary. c outfitting your kids with appropriate protective gear, such as a helmet and pads, when they ride a bicycle, skateboard, or scooter, or while wearing ‘Heelys’ (shoes with wheels in the heels). c not eating food that has been left out for more than an hour at barbecues and family picnics, which can cause food poisoning. c keeping your home well-childproofed. This also applies to wherever you are staying when you are on holiday, whether it is a hotel or relative’s home.

Although not a safety danger, it is important to remember that time off from school also means that your child may have more opportunity to become inactive and eat more junk food. Encourage your child to be active and eat a healthy diet all summer long.

KIDS TODAY Busy mum Helga Jensen-Forde answers some of your questions on childcare.

As we live so far away, our children aren’t seeing enough of their grandma. It is breaking my heart. She is quite ill at the moment and it is hard being so far away from her. What can I do to make things better? I am so sorry to hear that she is unwell. That is certainly one of the problems when you live so far away. It is never an ideal situation but the only consolation is that the summer holidays are now upon us. If you are not working and can manage to get home I would definitely spend the summer with her. It is undoubtedly difficult when the children are in school to go back and forth but now is the ideal time to go and see her. It is so important that the children get to spend time with their grandparents, as that is definitely something that they miss out on as expatriates. Of course, it is never easy leaving them again but at least by visiting them as much as possible, the children will have cherished memories of their grandparents for the rest of their life. I hope that things improve with the children’s grandmother and that you all have a lovely summer together.

guinea pigs recently. He adores them and they are gorgeous little things. They have to be cleaned out and, of course, fed and looked after properly, but they are quite famous for being good pets for younger children so I think being seven would be absolutely fine. Naturally, one of the most important things is getting someone to look after the guinea pig when you are on holiday. However, as you have a dog, I am sure you are very familiar with that. Many children do get bored with pets eventually. Therefore, before you do go ahead and get a guinea pig, consider the fact that you may well end up doing all the work yourself, especially when it comes to jobs such as cleaning out the cage. Perhaps you and your son could research what it takes to look after guinea pigs and take it from there. If it all appears okay for you both, then it would be lovely for your son to have his own little pet. I always maintain that it is a great idea for your child to have their own pet as it really gives them some responsibility and they learn to have empathy with animals.

My son desperately wants a pet. We already have a dog that I don’t think would get on with a cat or anything. My son mentioned that someone at school has a guinea pig. I really don’t know whether to get him one or not. He is seven and I wonder if he is old enough to have one. My son is a little bit older than yours and he got some 68 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 68

meet and greet D

uring the course of their lives, your children, just like you, are meeting new people all the time. Just like you, they often walk into new environments such as a new school or a new class, play sports against teams from different schools and meet new faces at after school activities or on holidays. As adults, we take meeting and greeting others as second nature but this does not come naturally to all of us as children. Thankfully there are tips you can give your children that will help them be more successful in social situations. Start by practicing how to greet others appropriately through role-play. For instance, pretend you are a stranger and have your child introduce him or herself to you by doing the following: 1. Stand up straight. If he or she is sitting or doing something else, have your child stop immediately, smile, and greet you with a “Hi” or “Hello”.

70 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 70

2. Make eye contact with you. 3. Offer his or her hand and shake your hand firmly. 4. Say his or her name, while shaking hands, loudly and clearly enough to be heard easily. 5. Make a friendly statement, such as, “Nice to meet you”. Other tips to share with your child when practicing this skill include: • Be pleasant. If you are rough or mumble, others will not get a good first impression of you. • Ask, “And your name is?” if the other person does not give his or her name. • Be willing to reintroduce yourself when someone forgets your name or when you have not seen a person for a long time. If you recently met the person, you may choose just to say, “Hi, in case you forgot, I’m ... ”. • Remember names. People will be impressed if you take the time to remember them. Have your son or daughter practice meeting and greeting and this skill will stay with them forever. The more your child practices, the more natural the behaviour will become. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 2:20 PM

Tips to ensure your pets have fun this summer! With the summer months in full swing, take a moment to think about the importance of proper pet care. Dubai Kennels & Cattery’s (DKC) experienced carers offer advice and top tips to keep your pets safe this summer.

very common problem during the summer months is for dogs, especially, to overheat. Serious overheating leading to heatstroke can take hold in extreme cases within just 10 to 15 minutes, so it is important to be vigilant when in extreme heat. There are telltale signs of overheating to look out for, including panting heavily, excessive drooling, pale gums, high temperatures (which can be checked by feeling the inside of the ears) and your pet appearing lethargic and looking a bit dazed or confused.

Top ten tips for summer care:

• Always ensure that both cats and dogs have access to air-conditioned environments. Pets must be able to move to a cooler place when they need to. • Fresh cool water should always be available. • Walking your dog in the summer should be limited to the cooler times of the day; early morning or evening. • Always keep an eye on your pets when outside in the garden or on the balcony and minimise the time spent outside during the day. • Be aware that black-coated cats and dogs tend to overheat more quickly, as do pets with thick coats and those that are older.

76 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 76

• If your pets have recently been relocated to the UAE, they will need time to acclimatise to the heat and should be introduced to the daily temperatures slowly and under supervision. This (arguably) also applies to the cooler UAE months because it is still always a hot place to be. • If your pet is overheating, wet them with room temperature water and allow them to dry near a fan. Damp towels can also be placed on or under your pet whilst they cool. • Dogs with thin fur or no fur can suffer from sunburn. Be sure to only use specialist products designed for use on cats and dogs. • Never leave an animal unattended in a car during the summer months. • Make sure that pets are always supervised around swimming pools, as many pets cannot get out of water unassisted. The easiest way to keep your pets safe this summer is to make sure they are not left outside for too long and that you keep checking your pets for signs of overheating. If in doubt, always err on the side of caution and if concerned, get your pet to the vet. For more information visit www.dkc.ae.

Pet

My family would love to adopt a dog however, like many people in Dubai we are not sure how long we will be staying and whether or not we will be able to take our dog with us when we leave. We are therefore considering fostering a dog from an animal shelter. I realise how valuable it is to foster dogs and get them out of the shelter so that they are not institutionalised, however, I do not want to break our foster dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart when we move away. Do dogs know they are being rejected? What happens to a dog when it is passed around and rejected? Will I be making her feel rejected yet again if I re-home her after she has lived with us and perhaps settled into my pack? When a dog is taken into a home, it is immediately given a new identity - a new name. They know nothing about their new masters and part of their new routine will be daily walks with their existing new pack. Practicing this ancient ritual of migrating - moving forward with a balanced pack of dogs and a stable pack leader will go a long way towards helping each new dog settle into their temporary home until they are placed. While it is natural to wonder what kind of past each of these dogs has had, it is not important anymore. Fortunately, dogs live in the moment. Rather than dwell on their past, they are always in the process of moving forward. What is important to them is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If they feel safe and secure and they are being fed, exercised and cared for, nothing else matters. Like all creatures of Mother Nature, their goal is to survive and return to balance. The kindest, most helpful approach the human caretaker can have is to provide the rescue dog with the calm and assertive leadership every dog craves so he can go into his future home in a balanced state. Rather than focus on how sad it is that your rescue dog needs to be re-homed, celebrate the fact that he is one of the lucky ones who is getting a second chance. In the interim, he gets to live with you! What a deal!

At this time of the year the sunlight, heat and humidity play havoc with both my skin and hair. How can I protect myself against this?

Hydration is key and you should be drinking at least two litres of water daily. In addition, spritz a freshly cleansed face with water and allow it to dry naturally before applying moisturiser. When it comes to sun care protection for your skin, do not pull out last years sun care products expecting them to protect you. All sun care products will have lost their effectiveness within a maximum of nine months of opening and they will only last this long if you are careful with them. At the beach, ensure you place products in the shade, with the caps closed and preferably inside a bag. When stored in the house, keep them in a cupboard and out of direct sunlight. Your sun block and body protection will need to be reapplied during the day, so take a look at SPF sticks, wipes and sprays. SPF sticks are portable and are great for small, vulnerable areas such as lips, eyes, ears and nose. Wipes deliver a mess free application, coming in re-sealable, pocket size pouches that can be slipped in to your bag. Sprays are great for hard to reach areas such as back of the neck. In the same way you protect your skin, spritz in a sun protection care spray to the mid lengths and especially the ends of your hair. Coloured hair especially requires a good quality professional salon product to stop fading and drying. Many of us make the mistake of using such products only when we go to the beach or the pool, however here in Dubai the sun is part of

Beauty

88 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 88

our every day life and care must be taken to protect your skin and hair from morning until night. If your hair is prone to frizzing, make sure it is well moisturised and deeply conditioned. Also avoid short, blunt haircuts and opt for a longer style with long layers. Ask your stylist for a recommendation for a good style and styling product that suits your needs. Here are a few of my favourite tips for staying glam in the long hot days and nights this August. • A few hours in the humidity is enough to destroy even the best blow dry. Ask your stylist to experiment with up styles or ponytails. Hair off the neck is instantly cooling and looks stylish and fresh. Spritz in a UVF protector and leave-in conditioner for added texture to your up style. • Choose a matt effect lip balm and apply directly on to your lips, then simply dot your lipstick over to stain on the colour and then blot with a tissue. The result, beautiful, sun protected lips. • Switch to an oil free moisturiser through the summer months to reduce shine. • Apply bronzer below your cheekbones for great contours, or try combining your bronzer with a blusher for a more natural glow. • Experiment with bright, fluorescent nail polishes this summer, they look amazing in sunlight. • Apply sunscreen to your hairline using a bronzer brush to prevent sunburn to your scalp.

HEALTHY living

The health benefits of

fasting

Fasting has been primarily associated with Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan. Yet as Mary Sullivan learns, fasting not only provides spiritual benefits but also a whole gamut of health benefits.

Types

During Ramadan, Muslims all over the world fast during its month’s duration from dawn to dusk. Fasting, points out Ahlaam Ali, a Dubai Lifestyle Consultant, basically means abstaining from food and drink for a specified period. “For health reasons only, there are various types of fasting; for example, abstaining from all types of meat is one type which is vegetarianism,” says Ali. The toughest type of fasting is the water fast which dictates you do not put anything in your body for a specified time which could be one, three or five days and which Ali says is drastic and should not be tried at all.

The unique aspect of Islamic fasting, explains Dr Hadiah Kayiaseh, Specialist in Internal Medicine at a leading Dubai hospital, is that besides being a voluntary undertaking, there is also no selective food intake such as protein only, juice only, fruit only, or water only. “Also, it is not a semi-starvation diet, because Muslims have a Sohour time, which is the light meal generally eaten about half an hour to one hour before dawn,” she says. This ideally should comprise of slow digesting foods which will result in less hunger during the day, says Ali. These complex carbohydrates are found in foods that contain grains such as barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils, whole meal flour and unpolished rice and last up to eight hours in the body. “Ideally we should follow the general rules of good nutrition and still avoid all processed, fried and food heavily laden with cream/butter,” she says. For Muslims, Iftar is the meal that ends the fast immediately after sunset and according to Ali, the best way to break your fast is with a bowl of fresh homemade lentil and vegetable soup. Then make sure you have your regular quota of fruits and vegetables whilst taking in enough water between dusk and dawn, she urges.

For optimal health

“Essentially, fasting gives the body a good break and hence revitalises and rejuvenates,” says Ali. This happens because usually we overload our bodies with so much food; all our energies go towards digesting it. When fasting, Ali says that our bodies use that vital energy to reconstruct and recreate 94 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 94

www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 2:22 PM

the cells in our body. Fasting can also help the brain as Ali points out, “Fasting, if done the right way, actually helps strengthen your mind and gives you the confidence that you can actually achieve anything you want. So it is a cleansing ritual not just for your digestive system but also for your mind and soul”. Furthermore, Dr Kayiaseh explains that fasting will rest the digestive system and allow for cleansing and detoxification of the body. “It will also create a break in eating patterns as well as promote greater mental clarity and cleanse and heal ‘stuck’ emotional patterns,” she says. “Fasting can also lead to a feeling of physical lightness, increasing energy level and also promote an inner stillness, enhancing spiritual connection.” Other health benefits include a slight fall in glucose (to 60 milligrams) and a decrease in insulin while glucagon and growth hormone increases alongside an increase in sympathetic activity, says Dr Kayiaseh. “There is also a decrease in both total cholesterol and triglycerides in the first few days and then a rise to pre-fasting levels as well as an increase in HDL-cholesterol but the effects are variable according to quality and quantity of food consumed at Iftar and Sohour,” she says. Fasting can also benefit individuals with diabetes, as Dr Kayiaseh indicates that individuals suffering from non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus can expect a better control of their diabetes, better control of hypertension, a better control of their lipid profile and a small amount of weight loss. “Patients who should not fast include individuals with diabetes mellitus type 1, chronic renal failure, those with severe cardiac and pulmonary conditions, gastro-intestinal bleeding and acute ulcers, severe epilepsy and severe migraine headaches,” she says.

Advice

Dr Kayiaseh advises that it is customary for Muslims to break their fast with some dates, in accordance with the Prophetic traditions. “Dates provide a burst of energy,” she says and fruit juices have a similar, revitalising effect. She advises to start by drinking plenty of www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 95

water, which helps rehydration and reduces the chances of overindulgence. “Avoid the rich, special dishes that traditionally celebrate the fast and it’s also worth avoiding caffeinebased drinks such as tea, coffee and cola as these contain caffeine which is a diuretic and stimulates faster water loss through urination,” she says. “Fibre-rich foods are also digested slowly and include bran, cereals, whole wheat, grains and seeds, potatoes with the skin, vegetables such as green beans, and almost all fruit, including apricots, prunes and figs.”

Guidelines for safe fasting • Stay hydrated. Ramadan feasts traditionally begin with fruit, soups and other hydrating foods. If you are not fasting for religious reasons, drink plenty of water during your fast. • Forego vigorous exercise while fasting. • Optimise your nutrition and when not fasting, be sure to eat wholesome foods. (Credit: nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips. com/benefits-of-fasting.aspx)

Tips for a healthier fast: • Make sure you have a meal at Sohour time. • Plan for your Iftar and Sohour so you are prepared rather than eating anything that is in front of you. • If eating out, avoid fried foods. • If going to an Iftar party, take something with you that you know is healthy and nutritious and then at least you have that option. • Be sure to drink your 8 to 10 glasses of water between Iftar and Sohour to avoid dehydration.

It is closely linked with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in adults, including lung cancer and heart disease. • Passive smoking is also known to cause low birth weight in children when pregnant women are exposed to it, as well as sudden death in infants. • The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 40% of children are regularly exposed to passive smoking at home, with children making up 31% of all deaths caused by second hand smoking.

Why am I losing weight? Unexplained weight loss can be an unwelcome and unpleasant surprise for some; however, it could also mean an underlying medical condition.

hat is the difference between unintentional and intentional weight loss? Unintentional weight loss is the loss of body mass without desiring to do so. Intentional weight loss is defined as the loss of total body mass in an effort to improve fitness and health and to change appearance. Intentional weight loss tends to improve the overall health, appearance and/or fitness. When losing weight unintentionally however, the individual does not have control over the process and in many cases it is caused by, or is a sign of, an underlying disease. What are the causes of unintentional weight loss? Weight loss is extremely difficult to diagnose. Common research shows that unexplained weight loss can be categorised into four groups: organic, psychosocial, unknown etiologies and social as well as age related. Although the most common cases of unwanted weight loss are anorexia nervosa and bulimia, other reasons include increased metabolismhyperthyroidism, undiagnosed Diabetes Mellitus or increased blood sugar levels, cancer, depression, Parkinsons, alcoholism, smoking, isolation as well as age related factors such as appetite suppression. What are the signs of losing weight unintentionally? Of course, the physical appearance is first, loose fitting clothes, people’s observations, remarks, and the weighing scale indicator. What are the side effects of unintentional weight loss? Side effects occur when the weight loss is as high as 10% of the body weight in a short span of time. Symptoms include fatigue,

98 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 98

short temper, lethargy, loss of muscles, loss of hair and lower immune system (protection against illness). However, if the weight loss was slow and a result of healthy changes in eating habits, there will be signs of general improvement of health. What tests can be done to assess a person’s condition? There are several - blood tests such as ‘Complete Blood Count’ to assess if there is any infection in the body, thyroid function tests, blood sugar tests and other tests (depending on the medical history of the patient). What nutritional assessment can confirm that the patient is suffering from unintentional weight loss? History and medical tests; from anthropometric data such as arm muscles and fat areas, it is possible to determine whether health endangering underweight really exists. Assessment of body fat is useful for patients who have an eating disorder and need to begin the body acceptance process. Biomedical measurements will indicate whether malnutrition accompanies the underweight. If suffering from unintentional weight loss, when should a person contact a medical professional? Undesired weight loss is one of the most difficult conditions to diagnose. Clinically significant weight loss is defined as the loss of 4.5 kgs or the loss of over 5% of the total body mass over a span of 6 to 12 months. In this case, the advice is to see a specialist immediately. With thanks to Mariam Saleh, a Nutrition Manager at a leading private hospital in Dubai. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 3:44 PM

Staying FIT at

WORK

For many office workers, being glued to a desk while typing away at their computer for eight hours a day is already a part of their normal routine. However, sitting at the computer all day is not exactly beneficial for the body - doing so can bring about backaches due to poor posture and eyestrain, among other effects.

f you are one of those people who have to be at a desk all day long, there are some simple steps that you can follow in order to improve your posture and keep your health in check. Here are some things you may like to try: • Sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair. This will strengthen your abs and back and you will work on your posture without even trying. • Set an alarm to go off every hour to remind you to stand up and move around. Even if you just swing your arms or take a deep breath, you will feel more alert. • Use the restroom on another floor and take the stairs. • Use a pedometer and keep track of how many steps you take. Aim for 6,000 to 10,000 steps a day. • Deliver documents or messages to co-workers in person rather than by email. • Go to the mall for lunch and park at the opposite end of the foodcourt. • Get a headset for your phone so you can move around while talking on the phone. • Adding short bouts of exercise throughout the day will help you burn more calories and will also reduce stress.

The top

allergy triggers

ot sure what is causing your sneezing and watery eyes? What about your runny nose or itchy skin? Most of us are allergic to something, however not all of us know what that ‘something’ is. The following are some of the top allergens in the world today, along with general directions on how best to avoid them.

Pollen - Trees, grass and flowering plants all produce one of the top allergy triggers pollen. Most plant life releases pollen into the air from spring to autumn, but some plants even produce pollen in winter. Symptoms include sneezing, congestion and itchy and watery eyes. The major culprits are grasses such as Bermuda grass and Rye grass and pollens from Oak, Olive, Eucalyptus, Acacia and Mesquite trees. Treatment includes avoidance when possible as well as medications such as antihistamines, decongestants or nasal sprays. Dust mites - Mites are

microscopic organisms that live in house dust. Symptoms of a dust mite allergy are similar to pollen allergy and usually occur all year round. To prevent dust mite allergies, place dust mite covers over mattresses, pillows and box springs. Use hypoallergenic pillows, wash sheets weekly in hot water and keep all areas of the house 102 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2012.indd 102

free of dust-collecting items including stuffed animals, curtains and carpet. Pet dander - Proteins secreted by oil glands in an animal’s skin, as well as the proteins present in an animal’s saliva, can cause allergic reactions in some people. Allergies to animals can take two or more years to develop and symptoms may not subside until months after ending contact with the animal. Symptoms include congestion, sneezing and itchy and watery eyes. Treatment includes avoiding exposure to animals that cause your allergies as well as the use of anti-allergy medication. Cockroaches - The proteins in the faeces of cockroaches can irritate the skin and cause a reaction. An American study carried out in 2005 on factors that affect asthma in inner-city children, showed that cockroach allergen appears to worsen asthma symptoms more than either dust mite or pet allergens. Cockroaches thrive where they have food, water and places to hide, so the first step is to reduce their supplies of these. Mould - Moulds are parasitic, microscopic fungi with spores that float in the air like pollen. Mould loves humidity and can therefore be found in damp areas in your home such as bathrooms. Symptoms of mould allergies can occur seasonally, especially when humidity levels are high. Make sure moist places in the home, such as laundry rooms and bathrooms, are clean, dry and well ventilated. Look for areas of water damage and repair those spots. Keep indoor plants to a minimum since their soil harbours and promotes mould growth. If you have allergy symptoms, you may want to consider allergy testing. Allergy testing is done in a variety of ways; through a blood test, skin prick text, skin patch test or via an intradermal test. To begin the process of discovering your allergy triggers and relieving their symptoms, make an appointment with your GP. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/12 2:22 PM

YOUR HOROSCOPE by Capella

LEO 23 Jul - 22 Aug A full Moon on the 2nd may find partners being contrary. Use the mental energy that Mercury, the planet of communications, along with the fire of the Sun in Leo, to enthuse them with amazing ideas. This way you will entertain and amuse friends and family. The 18th would be a great date for a celebration.

AQUARIUS 20 Jan - 18 Feb Save any relationship debates to the latter part of the month, when Mercury the planet of communications will be moving forward easing better understanding between partners. Around the 19th would be a great date to get out and about to rebalance your perspective and refresh any ideas you may have regarding a change to holiday plans.

VIRGO 23 Aug - 22 Sep You may be full of impulsive, creative urges after the 23rd but if monetary matters are the cause; keep your accounts transparent to avoid any later confusion. If youngsters want to change some carefully thought out plans at the end of the month you would be wise to accept them. Your previous clever accounting should then be of benefit.

PISCES 9 Feb - 20 Mar There is not much point in worrying about a work project until after the 9th, when ideas will flow more fluently. Even then, Neptune, your ruler, receives numerous difficult aspects likely to fritter your energy away. Best policy would be to give in and enjoy any fluid, watery moments on offer with sea faring folk - after all, it is holiday time.

LIBRA 23 Sep - 22 Oct There is every indication that you might feel you have met the love of your life, but beware that it might just be a holiday romance that ends by the end of the month more quickly than it started. Nevertheless, make the most of some dreamy romantic moments whilst they last. You should have some interesting memories and tales to tell.

ARIES 21 Mar - 19 Apr You should be the life and soul of any party and be able to kick start any partners, who do not seem to want to go anywhere fast and seem very lethargic. Avoid any adventures around the 16th, but otherwise your inspiration should bring some glamour into quite a few peoples’ lives particularly if you plan some water themed outings.

SCORPIO 23 Oct - 21 Nov Notice your energy levels rise as Mars, your solar ruler, moves into Scorpio on the 24th. Involvement with other peoples’ money is likely; be it a legacy or perhaps an insurance matter taking up some time. You may surprise yourself with an ability to be sensible by not going over the top and spending any windfalls all in one go.

TAURUS 20 Apr - 20 May An easy flow of ready cash should be lightening your life, but there are indications that you might fritter away your wealth on the wrong sort of people. Fiery Mars moves into your house of partners on 24th and hopefully will energise them to caution any extravagance on your part, and needless to say, also boost romantic moments.

SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov - 21 Dec As in July, Venus and Jupiter are still in your house of partners and making aspects to sexy Mars. Perhaps a romance could be the real thing if you are not already settled with a partner. Check out their astrology to see if they are an ideal chattering Gemini, because that is the sign on your chart where you are likely to be best suited.

GEMINI 21 May - 21 Jun Whilst Neptune is in the upper most part of your chart, you should excel in artistic interests or occupations, enabling you to relax any shattered nerves you may experience around highly-strung people. The 16th and 19th are days to avoid financial speculation, although Venus moving into that area of your chart after the 8th should ease any problems.

CAPRICORN 22 Dec - 19 Jan Your love life should take off after the 8th when Venus the planet of peace, love and harmony moves into your house of partners. Life should be very amicable - even in a business sense if you have been working harder than usual. Pay attention to financial matters regarding other peoples’ money, so that any changes will not come as a surprise.

CANCER 22 Jun - 22 Jul The 10th would be a great date for travel particularly if the journey is to be made by sea. Bossy partners (both business and personal) may have strange ideas about how you could better manage your finances. If you really must discuss it with them, avoid debates on the 15th knowing that the new Moon on the 17th may reveal a happy compromise.
