editor’s

note

he mass summer exodus that was typical in days of old does not seem to be the norm these days. More and more of us are staying in Dubai for July and August and although the mercury is hitting its dizzy heights, there’s still an abundance of activities to keep us busy. The team at Connector has an A-Z to help you keep your cool, be it a dip with the dolphins, making a Peng-Friend or splashing out at a water park! Also, if you can grab a few days away, one of our ‘great escapes’ may be just the break you’re looking for. If you are heading abroad, our healthy holiday handbook will keep you in tip-top shape while you’re away. After all there’s nothing more de-motivating than undoing all your hard work and packing on the pounds that you lost before you went. With Ramadan commencing towards the end of the month, we also give you some traditional Iftars and Sohours to enjoy. If this is your first Ramadan this is the perfect way to sample some local culture and cuisine. Enjoy!

To win the Superbrands title is a powerful endorsement and evidence for existing customers, potential customers, the media, suppliers, investors and

employees of each brand’s exceptional status”. Superbrands publish a series of books including Superbrands, Business Superbrands (on B2B brands), Cool Brands and eBrands - making the series of books the largest collection of insights into some of the greatest brands in the world.

Why CosmeSurge® for a hair-free summer?

Before

After

Before

We recommend plastic surgery for therapeutic purposes only

After Results may vary from person to person

Any laser can be turned into a pain-free laser by lowering the energy delivered thereby minimizing the effectiveness of the hair reduction as well. In our experience, Diode “pain-less” lasers create less discomfort, but are only effective in the first 2-3 sessions. We use special cooling devices to reduce discomfort. For sensitive areas such as the bikini area, we use a strong numbing cream beforehand as well. After the first few sessions of laser hair removal, the hair becomes thinner and lighter in color requiring a switch to a different laser. We have a variety of FDA approved lasers to match your skin and hair type. Call to book your complimentary consultation and trial Watch our videos at

Making history

Gulf for Good is setting a global milestone by organising the first-ever multi-activity charity adventure challenge to Myanmar (also known as Burma). Myanmar is a country that has been in the news a lot this year, unusually for positive reasons. Myanmar is slowly opening up to visitors and the participants on Gulf for Good’s 40th challenge will be among the first Gulf visitors later this year. The Road to Mandalay challenge, from 15th to 24th November, will be between the two ancient capitals: Bagan, with its 2,400 temples dating back to the 12th century and Mandalay. Funds raised by the participants will help to renovate a much-needed but fire damaged school for orphans and poor children in Mandalay. Still feeling the devastating effects of Cyclone Nargis in May 2008, Myanmar is the only South-East Asian country at the bottom of the global development scale.

Treasuring When asked what they would save in case of a house fire, after listing loved ones and pets, many people are quick to answer ‘photographs’. Despite the advent of digital photography, when most of us have several thousand images saved to CDs, each of us still treasures many irreplaceable family photographs. Here are some tips on how to take care of all those precious images from your past. 46 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 46

n documentaries, you often see white gloved museum curators handling precious books, artefacts or images. You too should avoid handling photos, both old and new, with bare hands. The acids in your skin can damage prints, so only hold pictures by their edges or wear white gloves, too. If a photograph is dusty or dirty, use a soft, clean paintbrush to brush from the centre outwards. • Never wipe photographs with water or write on the back of prints with anything other than a soft lead pencil. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:41 PM

photographs • Variations in temperature, humidity and sunlight pose the greatest threat to photographs - so proper storage is vital. Separate prints with sheets of acid-free paper, place in an acid-free cardboard box and store in a cool, dry place. Otherwise, keep them in albums with PVC-free plastic sheets. • Old and fragile photographs can be mounted on rigid acid-free cardboard and stored inside clear photo enclosures; these are available from specialty print shops. If you do not have the right equipment at hand, store treasured photos in individual plastic sandwich bags. www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 47

• You should also consider environmental hazards when hanging your favourite photographs. Whenever possible, frame copies, rather than originals as photographs that are exposed to light will eventually fade - for this reason, you should look for glass that filters ultraviolet light. • If you have a home computer, it is worth scanning your favourite photographs and storing their digital images on CD. Duplicate the CD and ask a friend or two to keep a copy of it - just in case. Connector JULY | 47 6/24/12 5:41 PM

ith the summer here and it being too hot to sit in the garden, I want to store my outdoor cushions, but there is no room for a storage box. Any ideas?

With storage at a premium, one of the best ways is to have a cover made from weatherproof, fade resistant canvas, which will cover the entire chair, or to put the chairs against the table and have the cover made for the whole area. This will help to not only protect the cushions, but to stop the major sun damage on the actual wooden furniture and to maybe save you having to re-varnish once the barbeque season arrives again.

striking solid leather for a more masculine look. Also, placing a large picture on the wall works. Alternatively, painting an area within the wall - for example a green square on the cream wall, then putting a collection of photos or smaller paintings within it can be very effective.

On the homefront Candles - every home should have them

There is no easier, more inexpensive, more stylish and dramatic way to change the look and mood of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living space than with candlelight. Candles are versatile too, you can use them indoor and outdoor, in table settings and floral arrangements, on patios, in bedrooms and in backyards. From votives and tea lights around the bathtub to candle-filled lanterns to illuminate garden walkways, every home should have a corner or two dedicated to this age-old way of lighting our living spaces. They also give your home a relaxing glow and aromatic candles will soon have a soothing fragrance pervading through the entire room. They offer just the right amount of warmth and light to make a room feel truly special. Candles can be added to any room and they can make an artistic statement sitting on display even when they are unlit.

Saving money on your utilities

Here are some quick, cheap and easy ways to cut your electricity, air conditioning and water use while also cutting your expenses: Use your ceiling fan with the air conditioner - The air moved by a ceiling fan makes your body feel cooler, even when the temperature is relatively high. Save energy by raising the air conditionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thermostat 3-5 degrees above your normal setting and running the ceiling fan along with it. Shut doors to unused rooms - To save energy, confine air conditioning to where it is needed most. Shut doors to the areas and rooms that do not need to be cooled. Check your meter - If your water usage is higher than usual for no obvious reason, it could be a hidden leak. Check the water meter reading last thing at night and first thing in the morning. If the reading indicates use, call in a plumber to find the leak and fix it. Turn off electronics not in use - Up to a fifth of the energy used by televisions, stereo equipment, computers and printers is consumed while they are in stand-by mode. To save power, turn them off when they are not in use. 50 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 50

Choosing the right indoor plant

The secret to having a green thumb is not really a secret - it lies in knowing a plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs for water and light. Therefore, before buying any plant for your home, it helps to know where you are going to place it so you can select the appropriate plant for those growing conditions, which include temperature and the amount of light it will obtain. When visiting a nursery - here are some guidelines for choosing a healthy plant: 1. Check for insects by looking at the underside of leaves. 2. Pass up plants with drought stress, indicated by yellow foliage. 3. If you are uncertain which plant to select, let someone from the nursery help you. 4. Be certain your container has a drainage hole in it, since plants do not like to sit in water. Add pebbles to the base of the pot if it has no holes and set the plant on top of these little rocks creating a platform.

Even though he was nagged by his wife, accountant and solicitor to write one, he avoided writing a Will. Not wanting to face the reality of being a mortal, he avoided facing the issue of death, which always cropped up whenever he thought of writing it. By not writing a Will the businessman subjected his surviving family to a complicated tangle of legal administration, which was hurtful and costly. His estate in Dubai was distributed as per Sharia law, not as he wished for sure. Now let us look at a positive aspect. A couple return from a Dubai hospital carrying their beautiful newborn baby. They plan to spend the first days at home quietly marvelling at the baby. But as the days blurred into nights in a pattern of naps and midnight feeding. However, after reading about a fatal accident, the parents decide to write a Will realising how important it is to take precautions for the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future care in case of any such untoward accidents.

The above circumstances surely necessitate the need for a Will or proper estate planning especially for those expat families who are deepening their roots day by day in the UAE. In this region the consequences can be far more serious where guardianship of children is a concern, bank accounts are frozen, and fixed distribution of assets apply. Furthermore, to die without a Will in the UAE means your estate can remain tangled in probate for many months if not years which causes prolonged legal battles and feuds even amongst the nicest families. To avoid such complications make drawing up a Will a priority. This can be done through The Wills Specialists, a legal firm approved and licensed by The Rulers Court, Government of Dubai, who have set the benchmark in professional Will writing for expats in the UAE.

hether you are out and about or at home, here are some suggestions to make everyday activities a fun learning experience with your child and some tips to help to make it a stress free time too. Activities that young children enjoy do not need to be expensive - the best way to keep a child entertained is to spend time with them! Cooking together is a great way to spend time with your child. Talking about what is going on can help language development and the mathematical concepts of weighing and size can be experienced in a fun hands-on way. The key to stress free cooking sessions is to keep it simple; buying ready-made pastry and letting your child roll out small pieces of pastry to make jam tarts or pastry figures is great fun and can keep a child absorbed for a long time. Make a cake and decorate it; use a packet mix and take your time allowing your child to do as much as possible: opening packets, measuring using spoons or scales, pouring ingredients into the bowl and

mixing are all great fun - even if some of the mixture ends up out of the bowl! Decorating the cake with Smarties or chocolate buttons can be a great time for counting and making patterns not to mention the delight in actually eating the cake. If you are feeling more adventurous let them help with making a main meal. Chopping something soft like mushrooms with a small blunt knife with adult supervision or spreading butter on bread are great ways to help develop a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical small motor skills as well as hand eye co-ordination. Children are more likely to eat food if they have helped prepare it so the social skills are being encouraged too. Small craft activities can be great fun and a reminder of the holidays to take into school in September. Make a scrapbook of the places you have been and you could collect tickets and postcards as you visit different places. Add photos of all the family and friends you see and any place you stay and the scrapbook will be a great reminder of your summer. Let your child

SUMMER learning

- the fun way

The long hot summer days are a great time to slow down and take life at an easier pace. Summer is a time for catching up with family and friends and for parents to enjoy spending time with their children. For children in the Emirates summer can be a long time away from their school or nursery. Parents can keep learning going in a fun and relaxed way over the long holidays.

have a glue stick and stick in the pictures where they want. It does not need to be perfect and is important that the child feels that it is their own work. Children love looking through books about themselves and the people in their family. It is a great talking point and keeps memories of people and places fresh in between visits. If you are out, talking to your child is one of the best things you can do, giving them time to respond, ask questions, and listen to their comments during daily routines. Even shopping can be viewed as a fun learning activity. A shopping list with pictures lets even the youngest child find items you need and will distract them from the things you do not want to buy! Do not go shopping for too long - be aware of how long your child will manage before they get bored. Give them their own basket to put things in and let them hand over the money at the till. By slowing your pace down and involving your child the shopping experience should be more fun for both of you.

KIDS' corner If you are lucky enough to be off to cooler climes, you can make the most of the kinder weather by getting out as much as possible. Getting outside to the local park or even in the garden to kick a ball around is a great way to let off steam. The key to a successful day out is to plan a mixture of sitting down and active pursuits to allow a balance and let children use their energy and then rest so they do not get too overtired or restless. Visiting museums and art galleries can work with young children as long as parents remember that young children will get bored quickly so don’t expect too much of them. Choose places that are child friendly and do not expect to stay there very long. Going early in the day will enable parents to enjoy looking around with their child without being so worried about crowds. Ask if there are any handouts that children can use - some museums have simple work books that can by filled in by the child as they go round the exhibits or parents can make their own pictorial lists of what to look out for. Keep it

simple and easy and your child will enjoy finding different exhibits. Well-planned car journeys can be a time for learning in a fun way too. Giving your child a simple map to follow (even if they can’t do it accurately) can be fun or a sheet that has some things that they need to look out for - a red car, a road sign, a yellow truck, a black cat or traffic lights - will give them something to do while they are in the car. Playing games like ‘I spy’ while travelling can keep children entertained and include all the family. If younger children do not know their sounds yet, play ‘I spy’ with colours or shapes instead of initial sounds. Whether you are staying at home or are out, this summer, spend time reading favourite stories and discovering new books, visit libraries or second hand bookshops and listen to stories on tapes. A rich language background and the rhythm of listening to stories is a pleasure that can be shared by children and adults any time and in any place. Remember in all the summer fun that routines are still important to children, as they need them to feel safe and secure. While you may be happy rushing around seeing friends in your home country, your child may find it unsettling to sleep in a different bed every other night. You can minimise any unsettled feelings by keeping to bed time routines as much as possible. An over tired child is not fun for anyone, and having familiar things like a favourite toy or blanket and a favourite bedtime book can make an unfamiliar bed feel a little more familiar. Remember that although you are pleased to see relatives and friends that you have not seen since last summer it may take more time for your child to feel comfortable with them. By slowing down and spending time with your children, wherever you are, summer can be a great time for family fun.

Kids today Busy mum Helga Jensen-Forde answers some of your questions on childcare.

I need to buy my children’s uniform for their new school. I was thinking of waiting until next month, just before school starts. However, my friend tells me that last year the uniform shop was a nightmare as it was so busy in September. Should I just get the uniform now? If I were you, I would definitely get it this month, as the shops are indeed busy when it is time to go back to school. The other problem is, if you need anything altered or made to measure, you probably will not get it in time if you do go in just before school starts. I know it might seem a bit early but I would certainly go before the rush starts. As a mum, I think you can never be too organised and it is then one less thing that you have to do before school starts for another year. Just don’t forget the name labels. I will be travelling this month with my toddler and have quite a long flight ahead of me. All my friends tell me to give my son an anti-histamine medicine that makes children sleepy but I am a bit scared to do that. My husband will be travelling on the way back with me but it is just the outward flight that worries me. I just cannot face a nightmare. I do not think that you need to give your child any medicine, but if you do decide to do this, make sure you talk to your doctor 60 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 60

beforehand. The good news is that with a bit of planning ahead your flight can be okay. At this age, how well the flight goes depends on your child’s mood; however, there are many things you can do to help this. For instance, make sure he has eaten enough and take plenty of snacks, such as a nutritious banana, to enjoy while he is on board. Also, ensure that he gets a good sleep before the journey. The other important thing is to plan by booking a child’s meal, if that is possible with your airline. Naturally, when you are travelling with a little one you do not want to be overloaded with hand baggage so, while you do need to make sure you have everything you need, it is important to ensure you have the right things with you. Things to take include a couple of his favourite toys and I always used to get my son a little surprise for the flight. I hope that there will be a good movie onboard but just in case, a portable device is handy with your son’s favourite movie or TV programme on. One other thing not to forget is a change of clothing, in case of any accidents or spills, as being stuck in wet clothes would make anyone grumpy. Hopefully, if you plan and have everything you need, it should all go smoothly. Good luck! www.mydubaiconnection.com www. mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:41 PM

H2-

! n u f t a h w Oh As the weather warms and our children take to the pool, the words ‘Marco? Polo!’ are resonating from many pool sides all over the Gulf. Tag games such as Marco Polo help make swimming fun - but there are many more pool games your children can play that are just as entertaining.

Turn to stone - One player is the hunter. When he tags another player, that player stands still and ‘turns to stone’. The hunter wins when all players have turned to stone. A player can be brought back to life by another player (who has not been turned to stone) by swimming underwater through his legs to ‘awaken’ him. Car wash - For this game, you will need at least six children. Split them into two groups and have them face one another in the shallow end of the pool. The distance between the two teams should be no more than 1m. A player at the end of the row starts. He runs through the ‘car wash’ while the other players splash him. Once he has reached the end, he joins the end of the row and the opposite player on the other side goes through the car wash. Rain, sun and storm - One child or a parent is appointed as the ‘weather forecaster’. The children swim around each other in the pool (perhaps to music). The weather forecaster randomly calls out the words – rain, sun or storm. With rain, the children splash water like mad, with sun they float on their backs like sea stars and for storm they 62 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 62

need to sit on the pool’s edge or clamber onto an inflatable mattress or boat. Stealth - In the middle of the pool stands a blindfolded player. The other players must swim from one side of the pool to the other as quietly as possible. The swimmers must not be touched or cut off by the blindfolded player, if one of them is, they become ‘it’. Egg and spoon swim - Each child is given an egg (preferably a rubber ball that will float) and a spoon. The race is run as it would be on land except that the players race to swim from one end of the pool to the other without dropping the ball. Washing machine - Children hold hands and make a big circle. A direction is chosen (clockwise or anti clockwise) in which the group will run as fast as possible. The important thing is to keep the circle large and round until a ‘whirlpool’ effect is created in the middle. One of the children or a parent counts down from three and then shouts, “Let go!”. Everyone lets go and the children feel the force of the water swirling. Poker chips - Form two teams of children. Poker chips are thrown into the pool and the teams have to collect as many chips as possible. The team with the most chips wins. Remember: Always supervise your children near a pool. Begin swimming lessons for your children when they are toddlers. Close the pool gate and keep your fence maintained. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:41 PM

A cool welcome

After her remarkable journey as the first Emirati woman to reach the South Pole, the iconic Snow Penguins give fearless Dana Al Hammadi a ‘cool’ welcome to Ski Dubai. After putting her mark and that of the UAE on the frozen continent, Al Hammadi has played a key role in being a voice for the environment. “The effects of climate change are very real, I saw the ice caps melting with my own eyes, and enormous mountains were breaking down right in front of me. We have a responsibility to preserve and protect this special place not only for ourselves but because it provides a habitat and a home for these beautiful creatures.” In a conscious effort to raise awareness about penguins, conservation and how people everywhere can affect their natural habitat, Ski Dubai recently announced the formal partnership between Snow Penguins at Ski Dubai and Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute (HSWRI). Snow Penguins at Ski Dubai will support penguin research conducted by HSWRI and contribute to the programme via funds raised from the Peng-friends souvenir line for the Snow Penguins at Ski Dubai. For more information visit www.skidubaipenguins.com.

Turtle conservation programme

The original guests of Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island - the now critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtles are continuing to nest on the destination’s beachfront and the first of the season’s nests have been spotted in conservation areas in front of the five-star The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort and the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas. The nests are now under the observation of Tourism Development & Investment Company’s (TDIC) environmental affairs team, as part of the company’s Hawksbill Turtle Conservation Programme, the only one of its kind in the Arabian Gulf. The nests, which can contain between 90 and 100 eggs, have been clearly marked to ensure hotel guests and staff don’t disturb them with hatching expected within 50 to 70 days. The nine kilometre Saadiyat Beach plays host to several Hawksbill turtle nests every year. The Hawksbill is listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, as its population has declined by more than 80% worldwide over the last three generations due to habitat destruction and poaching.

Pet

I have a six month old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix puppy. How can I get her to stop chewing my shoes, socks and practically anything that falls under the mercy of her paws? Unfortunately trying to train a puppy not to chew is like teaching a fish not to swim. It is ingrained in their DNA. Like human babies, puppies put everything in their mouth as a way of learning and becoming familiar with their environment. The best thing to do is to buy her lots of toys to chew and rotate them so she does not become bored. You can also buy or borrow a crate to put her in at night to prevent her from wreaking havoc whilst you are sleeping! Be patient. With time she will grow out of it. My hamster is not acting like his usual self and I think that he may be sick. I am taking him to the vet for his regular check up, but would also like to clean his cage so he can get well soon. What is the most thorough way to clean his cage safely and effectively? Firstly, you are right in thinking that cleaning and disinfecting your hamster’s cage will help aid his recovery. Cleaning your hamster’s cage is an important process and should be done at least once every three months depending on the type of cage you are using and how many hamsters are in the cage. Start by removing all visible dirt and debris from the cage by using plain water and a spray bottle to soften the residue. You can then use any household soap or liquid for the cleaning. It is also beneficial to disinfect your hamster’s belongings such as his wheel and any toys. However, only use a vet approved disinfectant spray as the toxins from a household spray can be fatal for your hamster. Once you have cleaned the cage rinse it thoroughly. Leave the cage to dry in the sun or wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

I am travelling this summer and want to look my very best when I reach home, but I always look tired and dishevelled after a long flight. Do you have any special tips to have me looking my best on my arrival?

For many of us, July heralds the summer exodus and there are plenty of treatments and products that can get you looking your best for your vacation. It all starts before you leave for the airport, and a little extra planning and a well-stocked flight bag will have you stepping off the plane in truly glam style. Hydration is key. Drink two to three litres of water on the day of your flight to keep your skin, hair and body in great shape as altitude wreaks havoc on the body. Try not to over eat on the day of your flight, especially on board. Whenever possible I opt for a night flight, pack my own peppermint teabag and try and get as much as sleep as possible to arrive refreshed. If this is not possible, pack a small lunch box with healthy treats. Pack a make-up removing facial wipe and remove any make-up prior to take off and apply a generous layer of moisturiser. Cabin pressure will have an adverse effect on your skin, and also your hair. The heavier air will weigh down even the best pre flight blow dry, and my favourite trick is to spray a small amount of hairspray into a paddle brush and brush through the hair to control flyaway hair caused by static. Hair tied up during a long flight will last and look better on arrival. Natural fibres such as cotton and silk will help tame your hair in the cabin. A scarf over the headrest of your seat will work wonders. If I had to add just one product to my flight bag, it would most definitely be Elizabeth Arden’s miraculous Eight Hour cream.

I am heading out of Dubai’s heat to enjoy a slightly cooler beach holiday in Spain. Do the same sun care rules apply?

Even the sun in Europe can be dangerous during the summer months. Whilst moderate amounts of UV radiation will provide you with Vitamin D, over exposure of the sun’s rays are harmful. Ultraviolet A (UVA) are the year round rays, which penetrate deeper in to the skin. Ultraviolet B (UVB) is what we get whilst sunbathing and these are the chief cause of sunburn and tend to damage the upper layers of the skin. Extra caution is required in the pool or sea as UVB penetrates water, allowing you to burn without feeling that the sun is even on you. Even if you are using a water resistant sunscreen, always re apply after swimming. Wear a hat, sunglasses and a t-shirt or sarong when the sun is at its strongest - usually between 11am and 3pm. Remember, overexposure to the sun and sunburn drains your skin’s defences, leaving you vulnerable to premature skin ageing and health risks. Your crowning glory is just as much at risk of sunburn and dehydration as your skin, as hair is made up of similar proteins to those found in your skin. Of course, your hair will not turn red, feel sore or peel - instead it will become dry, frizzy and begin to split. The best course of action is to prevent the sun’s rays reaching your hair by shielding it with conditioning oils, creams and a hat. Simply apply your chosen product to dry hair until it looks damp, then slick back and secure, tucking vulnerable ends inside your hair if possible, finishing off with a brimmed hat. If you have coloured or chemically treated hair, it is vital that you use professional hair products as recommended by your stylist. All major brands feature a leave-in conditioner with SPF protection for your hair, and this is a must for your beach bag.

The

healthy holiday

handbook The holiday season is here! You deserve a break, after spending the last few months becoming a fitter, healthier you, right? While holidays are a time to relax and take a break from work, stress and the usual routine, it should not undo all your good work for the rest of the year.

80 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 80

www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:42 PM

ith a little planning, you can enjoy your break and still maintain your current weight and fitness levels. Whatever your plans - a family road trip, a tropical cruise, a sightseeing tour, or relaxing on the beach - you can avoid piling on those dreaded holiday pounds by packing healthy food and workout gear instead.

On the road

If you are travelling by car, you have already spent a lot of time planning your course. We all want to make good time, but it is also important to schedule several breaks into your itinerary, especially if you have kids. Pack a cooler full of healthy snacks, and even complete meals. Chopped veggies, fresh fruit, bottled water and juice, low-fat yoghurt, peanut butter sandwiches, popcorn and pretzels make easy travel fare. Do not skip meals, and try not to go more than 4 or 5 hours without eating. Being famished at mealtime may hinder your ability to make healthy choices and trigger overeating. In addition, constant energy levels will keep you alert at the wheel. Avoid eating full meals in the car. Take time to stop, relax and enjoy your meal. This way, you can pay closer attention to your hunger and satiety signals. Plan exercise and stretching breaks as well. Just three 10-minute pit stops add up to 30 minutes of activity. Go for a quick jog or walk, play Frisbee, stretch and run around with the kids. Back in the car, you will be more alert and energetic. Avoid coffee and caffeinated drinks. While they do give you a short energy burst, the drop when caffeine wears off can make you even more tired. For stable energy levels, drink plenty of water and eat healthy, whole foods that keep blood sugar levels from spiking and dropping. Be wary of fast food and roadside restaurants. If you have no other options, choose the healthiest possible items and keep portion sizes small. One way to avoid excess calories and fat is to hold the mayo, special www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 81

sauces, cheese and dressings. Also, opt for non-breaded items and kid-sized portions.

Frequent flyers

Despite appearances - flights and airports offer plenty of nutritious food and opportunity for activity, if you know where to look. Try to eat a healthy meal before you arrive. You will be less likely to munch on highcalorie snacks just because they are around or you are bored. If eating in an airport, it is worth spending the time searching out healthy foods. Look for salads, fresh fruit and vegetable-based soups and baked chicken. While trekking through the airport, take every opportunity for extra movement. Use the stairs, pass on the people movers and carry your own luggage. Instead of sitting around before boarding the plane, use the time to walk. You will arrive early enough to fit in 15-20 minutes of walking, so take advantage of it. After all, you are about to sit for an entire flight. Call the airline 48 hours in advance to see if a meal is offered. Typical in-flight dinners can have as many calories (over 1,000) as a fast food meal and even more fat. Special order a diabetic, low-fat, vegetarian, child, or religious meal. Alternatively, pack your own lunch to ensure you get exactly what you want. Flying can easily dehydrate you, so drink plenty of water. Drinking one glass per hour in flight will ward off dehydration and jetlag. It is okay to get up and walk through the aisles a few times when you are feeling antsy during a long flight.

Cruise control

Cruises offer so many opportunities for fun and exploring. However, they are also known for the rich, gourmet food available round the clock. You do not have to totally deprive yourself to stay in shape. Moderation, along with participation in the many opportunities that cruises offer for fitness, will keep you sailing smoothly. Connector JULY | 81 6/24/12 5:42 PM

HEALTHY living At buffets, fill your plate only once. Load 50% of your plate with vegetables and choose small portions of other food you want to try. If you splurge and eat a rich meal, try to balance it with a healthy, vegetable meal. Eat lighter the rest of the day. If ordering dessert, do not make it a daily habit and when you do, split it with someone else. Most cruises offer a healthier â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spa menuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so order from this when you can. In addition, when ordering at any meal, be very specific about what you do and do not want. You can omit ingredients and specify how you want something to be cooked (e.g. steamed instead of fried). Plan for fitness every day. Cruises usually offer complete gyms, aerobics classes, trainers, running tracks and pools. Go dancing in the disco in the evening and play plenty of beach games when docked. Take a morning walk around the track while enjoying the sights and fresh air.

Staying in shape

As the demand for healthy eating and exercising rises, hotels are responding to their guests. There is no reason not to work out or eat right just because you are away from home. Calling ahead and working with the concierge will help you find all the things you need to make your vacation a healthy one. When checking in, refuse the mini-bar key. Not only are the prices outrageous, but the choices are not the healthiest. Instead, find a nearby health food store or grocery and stock up on good-for-you snacks. If your room/ floor has a fridge or microwave, you can also get enough food to prepare healthy meals. If a coffee maker is all you get, buy instant soups or oatmeal and prepare them with the hot water. If ordering room service, be specific about what you want, whether or not it is on the menu. Most places will accommodate your healthy requests and substitutions. Before leaving home, find out what fitness opportunities the hotel offers. While most will have a pool, others may offer tennis, 82 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 82

Try new things, sightsee on foot, go rock climbing or surfing and definitely enjoy the good food without total deprivation.

walking paths, bike rentals and full gyms. Then, pack the appropriate clothes, shoes and gear. If your hotel does not have a gym, ask if they are affiliated with a nearby local gym. Many will offer day passes at a discount for hotel guests. Ask the concierge about healthy restaurants, markets, parks, trails and maps. Design your own hotel room workout. All you need to pack is some lightweight, cheap equipment: resistance bands, a jump rope and a sticky mat. Most bands will come with illustrated exercises. You can also do pushups, crunches, lunges, squats and triceps dips on a chair. Remember to pack walking shoes, a swimsuit, exercise equipment and loose, comfortable clothing. Moreover, with all that time in the sun, do not forget shades, a hat and plenty of sunscreen. It is worth the time it takes to plan for a healthy trip, but be realistic. You probably will not lose weight on holiday, but maintenance is possible. Remember, holidays (like exercise) should be fun. Try new things, sightsee on foot, go rock climbing or surfing and definitely enjoy the good food without total deprivation. Being healthy is a lifestyle, not a quick fix. So, follow these tips to return home with plenty of memories and souvenirs and without the extra pounds.

Full mouth rehabilitation

Over time, many people suffer from the effects of tooth loss, decay and wear, with the consequent effects of a reduced or limited function, an embarrassing appearance and in the more severe cases TMJ problems which present as facial or joint pain, headaches and even neck or back pain.

full mouth rehabilitation aims to re-establish that ‘perfect bite’ by reorganising the back teeth, either in shape and/or position, and treating the front teeth for that ‘perfect smile’ either with veneers, crowns or implants. Function and aesthetics are inseparable and it is important to understand that back teeth support the front teeth in all phases of our lives both in the natural and reconstructed dentition. After a full bite (occlusal) analysis, which includes a full ‘waxup’ to show the proposed new shape of the teeth, a decision is made on how many teeth will be involved in the rehabilitation. A classic situation is someone with no missing teeth but with severe shortening of the teeth due to wear presenting with an aesthetic problem. Here, both back and front teeth will need to be treated and it is best done with crowns posteriorly (back teeth) and either veneers or crowns anteriorly (front teeth). In other cases, for example, if someone is missing many teeth the treatment can be carried out with either bridges or implants or a combination of both. The initial visit/s will begin with a full mouth analysis of the problem, followed by a ‘waxup’ of the proposed treatment on models of your teeth in order for you to see and approve the final outcome. A proposed treatment plan will then be provided which will include the number of 84 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 84

visits, the procedures per visit and costing. Following commencement of treatment, temporary crowns, which are a trial of the final work, are fitted and worn for a short period of time in order for you to assess the new shape and position of the teeth. This trial period also allows you to fully assess the many functional aspects of your proposed new teeth such as eating and speaking. In conclusion, each case is objectively measured and refined for each individual. Once this treatment is completed you can expect a mouth that looks great, feels comfortable, and gives you the confidence to smile. With thanks to Dr George Homsi - Specialist Prosthodontist and Dr Barry Lynch - General Dentist from a leading dental clinic in Dubai.

Ready to

fly

Sam is a nine year old boy who dreaded flying due to the extreme pain in his ears on take off and landing. As a baby he suffered badly, having many ear infections and courses of antibiotics. The earache always came back and at 18 months, grommets were fitted and replaced two times more during his infancy. It turned out that after a suction-assisted birth, due to the baby being stuck in the birth canal, baby Sam used to lie with his head bent to one side.

am’s mother took him to see Dr Pamela Leader, Chiropractor and Managing Director at one of Dubai’s leading chiropractic medical centres, after talking to a couple of chiropractors and learning that the spine can play a role in many different health issues. She had previously tried many doctors to find a solution to her son’s agony, without success. It became apparent to Dr Leader from his history that Sam had most probably been suffering from some spinal misalignments from birth. • Back pain during pregnancy may have meant that his mother’s pelvis was twisted and the in-utero torsion may have meant that Sam was already lacking space. His neck may have been bent to one side for the latter part of the pregnancy. • The difficult birth may have put more strain on the neck and caused the first vertebra to remain misaligned. • Babies with repetitive ear infections often also have cervical misalignment, which can affect the ears and it has also been found that adjusting the neck, boosts the function of the 86 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 86

immune system and helps to normalise the pressure inside the ear. • Frequent colds and coughs are also related to poor immunity. Dr Leader says “Sam probably had KISS syndrome, which is the abbreviation for kinematic imbalances of the sub-occipital spine. In layman’s terms this is a misalignment of the upper neck bones. This can have far reaching effects, which may be different in each child. Examination of Sam’s neck and back revealed immediately that the first bone of the spine below the skull, was situated more to the left than to the right”. Sam had four treatments over a period of two weeks followed by one treatment just before his next flight. The flight went well with no pain for the first time, on take off and landing and now the whole family can plan their air travel with confidence. Dr Leader explains, “I have often seen adults with upper neck problems, which were most probably present from birth. They can of course be helped, but the earlier a problem is corrected, the less health problems need to be suffered”. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:42 PM

Is your forgetfulness actually

disease?

id you lock the front door? Where are your car keys? Not being able to remember can be annoying but for an individual approaching 60, it can be alarming. Mary Sullivan investigates the early signs of memory loss and its link to Alzheimer’s disease.

Differences

Memory loss, points out Dr Stefan Diez, Neurologist and Geriatrician at a leading hospital in Dubai, means the inability to recall information and does not usually refer to mild memory difficulties - for example, the ability to remember names. “Many brain diseases and brain injuries can cause memory loss because our memory is an electrochemical function of our brain,” he says, therefore the onset of memory loss depends on the underlying condition. “For example, a severe fall with brain injuries can cause sudden memory loss.” However, memory loss with slow onset and slow deterioration is usually called dementia and the most important cause of this deteriorating memory loss is Alzheimer’s disease or AD. The terms ‘dementia’ and ‘Alzheimer’s’ are also used. 88 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 88

Minimal Cognitive Impairment or MCI, states Dr Diez, is a type of memory loss that is obvious but can be compensated by alternative intellectual activities such as pocketbook or training or other well-organised reminders. “This benign condition affects almost every very old age individual but only 40% of them actually go on to develop AD,” he says. There is also a mild kind of memory loss that only occurs while performing certain tasks. “For example, a person goes to the grocery store and forgets an item,” he says. “But upon returning, this forgotten item comes back to mind. Also one might forget names but remember them later on - this is not AD but actually a lack of attention to a certain task which is often related to stress or an altered mood.”

Alzheimer’s disease

One of the most dreaded conditions of old age is Alzheimer’s disease and according to Dr Khalid Al Saffar, Specialist Neurologist at another leading hospital in Dubai, this is an acquired disorder of cognitive and behavioural impairment that markedly interferes with social and occupational functioning. “It is progressive and remains incurable to date,” he www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:42 PM

HEALTHY living says. AD not only has detrimental effects on the patient, but often takes a significant toll on patients’ families and caretakers as well. Dr Diez points out that in AD, it is not only memory loss in the short term memory but that this memory loss must be severe enough to cause consequences in daily life. “In AD, mostly we see severe mood swings, aggressive behaviour or inactivity, restlessness, or withdrawal from social gatherings,” he says.

Diagnosis

Essentially, AD is a disease of old age; “At age 90, 40% of individuals are affected but at age 65, only 1.5% are,” says Dr Diez. “If onset of AD is before age 60, this is usually a familial genetically determined type of AD.” In these cases, it is sometimes justified to conduct special lab tests to assess the likelihood of AD in other family members who show suspicious signs. “In most cases however, dementia and AD are diagnosed by the neurologist using information from the patient’s history and by direct examination,” he says, however technical investigations can only help to rule out alternative causes of dementia such as disturbance in calcium metabolism or even the side effects of certain drugs. “It is important to know that neither an MRI nor a PET scan can rule out AD; as neurologists, we say that these tests produce pseudo-confidence,” he says. “At present, there is no cure for AD However, we have treatment to stabilise the patient and delay deterioration for about two years and this is done by drugs called Acetylcholin reuptake inhibitors,” he says. “Early treatment of MCI with Acetylcholin reuptake inhibitors does not delay onset of AD, therefore in the MCI stage of memory loss, they should not be taken,” he says, rather it is more important to treat high blood pressure successfully.

Lifestyle

Dr Al Saffar explains that recent studies have demonstrated that consuming fruit and healthy food overall can delay the onset of AD to some extent. “Also avoiding junk food and engaging in healthy exercise are good measures to prevent AD to some extent. Avoiding 90 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 90

alcohol helps to prevent the memory loss not related to AD,” he says. There is also proven evidence that an active lifestyle, which includes challenges for the mind such as travelling and socialising delay the decline, says Dr Diez. “It is thought that these activities challenge and train up different regions of the brain which would otherwise be inactive,” he says. “More important to delaying or even avoiding AD is its link to so called ‘vascular risk factors’. In other words, there is proven evidence that reducing high blood pressure, treating diabetes and high cholesterol significantly reduce not only stroke and heart disease but also AD.”

Advice

Dr Diez explains that his tips for lifestyle modification to avoid AD include maintaining an active but balanced lifestyle with ‘life-long learning’. “Also treat your vascular risk factors and avoid smoking as that is one of the most dangerous and avoidable vascular risk factors,” he says. “However, we must be aware that as our life expectancy extends, we see more AD sufferers since it is a disease of advanced age.” This is the main reason why extensive research is done around the world to find better treatment.

Be a better ‘rememberer’: • Achieve relaxation through meditation, tai chi, yoga or other techniques that can help slow respiration, slow metabolism and release muscle tension. • Maintain a good social network of friends and family to help foster support and aid relaxation. • Use a calendar to schedule important things. • Make a list of things that need to be done. • Get enough sleep.

Diagnosing and treating

Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. It has a devastating effect, causing progressive interference with functions that are controlled by the nervous system such as vision, speech, walking, writing and memory. It affects people of all ages but most commonly those between the ages of 20-50. In addition to this, women are twice as likely to develop MS at a younger age.

is a disease in which the nerves of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) degenerate. As more nerves are affected, a person experiences a progressive interference with functions that are controlled by the nervous system. The causes of MS are not known but it is widely accepted that genetic, immunological and environmental factors play a role. There are two types of Multiple Sclerosis. Ninety percent of sufferers begin with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS, in which they experience a series of attacks followed by complete or partial disappearance of the symptoms until another attack occurs, weeks or decades later. In primary-progressive (PP) MS, there is a continuous, gradual decline in a person’s physical abilities. Symptoms of MS may be single or multiple, mild or severe, short to long term and may include visual disturbances, limb weakness, loss of coordination and balance, fatigue, numbness, speech impediment, tremors or dizziness. Fifty percent of people experience decreased concentration, attention deficits, memory loss or impairment in judgment. Other symptoms include depression, paranoia, uncontrollable laughing and weeping. Heat appears to intensify MS symptoms and pregnancy seems to reduce the number of attacks. Due to the subtleties of symptoms, MS may not be diagnosed for months or years.

92 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 92

Diagnosis techniques include MRI scans, electro-physiological tests and examination of the cerebro-spinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Treatment options include treatment with steroid drugs and treatment with disease modifying drugs (DMDs). According to board certified neurologist and consultant neurologist Dr Stefan Diez, there is little hard information available about the incidence of MS in the Middle East but recent estimates suggest that the number of sufferers could be comparable to the US, with 70 out of 100,000 individuals affected. “Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system for which a definitive diagnosis is often difficult - sometimes taking months or even years to diagnose,” says Dr Diez. “Patients affected by MS often become desperate because of the conflicting information from different sources. In recent years, treatment of MS has become more successful as well as demanding in terms of shared decision making for patient and doctor, in weighing the risks and benefits of the various treatment options. Treatment with interferons, monoclonal antibodies and immunosuppressants are highly effective but require strict monitoring and safety precautions.” Dr Stefan Diez is a board certified neurologist and consultant neurologist at a leading private hospital in Dubai. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:42 PM

CANCER 22 Jun - 22 Jul Any family differences on 3rd will soon clear up as long as you are not too critical of others. If you are searching for changes or variety in your life, keep it to yourself until you are sure of your future plans for fear you might instigate incorrect fast travelling news. The new Moon on the 19th should help you to assess what changes would be for the best. LEO 23 Jul - 22 Aug Mercury, the planet of communication and travel, appears to go backward in Leo on the 16th, so a too easy and lighthearted attitude to friends may make you misunderstand what they are trying to tell you - you might have to rethink a holiday. Arrange an informal get together around the 25th when everyone can happily express their opinions. VIRGO 23 Aug - 22 Sep Mars, the planet of fire and energy moves into an area on your chart representing possessions and finance, so you may gain advantage and probably in an unexpected way, increased good fortune. If you try not to look out for your own gain first, you are likely to make yourself very, very popular and enjoy good relationships with loved ones. LIBRA 23 Sep - 22 Oct If you have not already found a partner in life, you can look forward to sexy, invigorating Mars moving into Libra on the fourth, which makes a brilliant aspect to both Venus and Jupiter. This indicates good fortune in love and marriage. If you are romantically settled already, you can look forward to some very special harmonious moments. SCORPIO 23 Oct - 21 Nov Archaeology could appeal whilst Pluto, the planet representing the underworld makes aspect to the Sun. It is a good time of the year for a holiday and you, more than most people at the moment, probably have an enormous desire to get out and about to see the world, so take every opportunity for trips abroad to extend your knowledge. SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov - 21 Dec Love is in the air whilst Venus and Jupiter are now in your house of partners and making aspects to sexy Mars. Just do not take it seriously. It is likely to be of short duration as it may just be a holiday romance that will fizzle out like a spent firework on your return home. At least you should have some very glamorous moments to remember. 96 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2012.indd 96

CAPRICORN 22 Dec - 19 Jan The full Moon in Capricorn on the 3rd may find your ego somewhat out of control so watch what you say to people - you would not want to come across as a taskmaster. Partners may try to force some domestic issues around the 13th, when really you both need plenty of time to consider any changes that would improve your lifestyle. AQUARIUS 20 Jan - 18 Feb The Sun in your house of partners, both business and personal, after the 22nd, may either boost business or even develop your love life. Personalities of people may be explored with lively conversation. Do not spill the beans on anyone else around the 24th, when your communication skills are likely to fizz with energy. PISCES 19 Feb - 20 Mar Instead of being at peace and enjoying some privacy, you are likely to prefer the company of other people, who seem to be leading a much more glamorous life. Plan a barbeque and bring some influential friends into your circle, so that you can improve your situation with witty and informed company. Enjoy the pleasure and profit this may bring. ARIES 21 Mar - 19 Apr If disputes in your environment between work and home have been causing a few problems, you may have the opportunity after the 14th to reconsider some domestic matters. This should solve any awkward issues. Youngsters might seem over reactive should you ask their views, but listening carefully and taking their advice will lighten life. TAURUS 20 Apr - 20 May Venus, the planet of love and harmony, joins Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, in the financial house of your horoscope, so life should be good. Getting out and about with the view to seeing the world with some long distance travel is very likely to appeal this month. It could just be that you have monetary success in writing about it. GEMINI 21 May - 21 Jun Despite having high aspirations in a career path or artistic self-development plan, you are likely to be feeling very sociable whilst harmony loving Venus and jolly, benefic Jupiter come together in Gemini. Sudden friendships and attachments with young people make for celebrations where you can excel in witty but expensive entertainment. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/12 5:42 PM
