Editor’s Letter Welcome to the Summer edition of the Yalla Know It All Family Guide. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost six months since we launched our new-look guide back in January. Since then, we’ve been working on more unique ways to make the magazine even better, and we’re proud to present this edition to you. We’ve teamed up with industry experts to bring you more features that matter to you and your family, about healthcare, well-being, and education to name just a few. There’s also recipes, fitness tips, and exclusive competitions, and, of course, our handy directory is packed with even more listings than ever before- all making family life in Abu Dhabi a (summer) breeze. Let’s start with the fun bits — the competitions! Not only are we giving away FIVE family staycations at Rotana hotels across the UAE, but also we’ve got a free month’s membership to fitness platform, GuavaPass, a family box for four from Hello Chef, and vouchers worth AED300 to spend on home delivery at La Cuisine de Manou. Find out how to enter on pages 6, 57, 56, and 48. The Holy Month of Ramadan is just around the corner, so we’ve put together five things to try this Ramadan, as well as some fun facts about the special occasion. We understand that Ramadan is also a great opportunity to spend extra quality time with your family and friends, so we’ve shared some of our favourite family hotspots to visit. We’ve teamed up again with healthcare experts, UEMS, and in this edition they tell us everything you need to know about vaccinations for your little ones. You can read the feature on page 52. Plus, education experts, Gabbitas Education, tell us more about the different Early Years curricula available in Abu Dhabi, to empower parents to make the right choice for their children. They’ve also shared their best revision tips to help your older children ace their exams this year. Turn to page 16 and 22 to find out more. And of course, all of your Yalla favourites are back, including Kids’ Corner on page 12, with everything that you need to know about surviving the summer in Abu Dhabi- from coping with the heat to the best things to do over the school holidays, as well as a family fitness challenge to kick-start your summer fitness routine. So, all that’s left for us to do is to let you sit back and enjoy the latest edition of the Yalla Know It All Family Guide — happy reading!

Ramadan Ramadan
Yalla’s 5 to Try this Ramadan!
This year, Ramadan is expected to take place from May 15th to June 14th (dependent on moon sightings).
The meaning of Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and begins, according to official Islamic bodies, when the crescent moon is sighted The Holy Month of Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (Sawm), to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad. For approximately 30 days, Muslims refrain from consuming food or drinking liquid from dawn until sunset, and instead renew their focus on worship, devotion, and spiritual reflection. This annual observance is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan also symbolises a time of compassion and giving.
from the Arabic root ramiḍa or ar-ramaḍ, which means scorching heat or dryness.
# Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon # During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dusk until dawn # Ramadan is celebrated as the month in which the prophet Muhammad received the first of the revelations that make up the Quran # The fast is traditionally broken by eating dates and drinking water # Children, pregnant women or those who

SUMMER 2018
1 Experience a family Iftar
Every Ramadan, iftar and suhoor events are arranged at various venues across Abu Dhabi as a way to bring the community together. Even if you haven’t been fasting, you are still welcome to join, and these events are a great way to experience true Emirati hospitality. Head to our website for a round-up of the best family iftars to try this Ramadan.
2 Learn something new
Did you know?
# The word Ramadan comes
Whilst the pace of living in Abu Dhabi may become a bit slower during the Holy Month of Ramadan, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to experience true Emirati culture and hospitality, learn something new, or get involved in charity work. Here’s our top five to try:
are sick do not have to fast # Each day before dawn, Muslims observe a prefast meal called Suhoor # The meal that breaks the fast after sunset is called Iftar # According to tradition, prophet Muhammad broke the fast with three dates # A greeting for good wishes is "Ramadan Mubarak" which means "Have a blessed Ramadan" # Following Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid Al Fitr, which is a day of feasting.
If you’ve been wanting to learn a new skill, now is the time to do it. Ramadan is a time to spend with loved ones, so why not use this time and learn to cook a traditional Arabic iftar for your friends and family? Or for something with the kids, take them to one of Abu Dhabi’s many cultural and heritage attractions to learn more about the history of the UAE and teach them about where they live.
3 Give to charity
Charity is a very important part of Islam and is even more significant during Ramadan. Why not use this time to clear out your wardrobes and toy boxes, and give any items that you don’t need to charity? Or make the most of the quieter pace of life and donate your time to a local charity or support group.
4 Focus on your diet and fitness
Ramadan is the perfect time to kick start healthy eating habits. Make an effort to eat out less, and, if you are fasting, make sure to eat the right foods during suhoor and iftar. You’ll also see lots of people taking a walk just before or after Iftar, so join in and use this month to focus on getting fitter by exercising more.
5 Read a book
When was the last time you really took the time to relax with a good book? Use the extra time during Ramadan to expand your mind and relax at the same time by making a conscious effort to read more. As school hours are reduced, it’s a great time for children to read more too, so we’ve put together five of the best Ramadan reads for children.

Ramadan
If you’re looking for ways to entertain the kids, then check out some of these fun places to go and cool things to see during Ramadan…
Ramadan is a great opportunity to spend extra time with the kids. As the school day finishes earlier, it can mean there’s more time to explore new places, try out a new activity or you may simply want to know which cafés and play venues are remaining open throughout the month. So, we thought we’d lend a helping hand and share some of our favourite family hotspots for the month of Ramadan.
Get adventurous at Adventure HQ
Age doesn’t matter when it comes to being adventurous! Head to one of the two Adventure Zone branches in Abu Dhabi, at Dalma Mall or Yas Mall, and be prepared to tackle various obstacles and activities from cable climbing and boulder walls, to skate parks, caving and zip lines. Or you could bounce until your heart's content on one of the large trampolines. Open daily from 10am until late. To find out more about what each venue offers, visit www.adventurehq.ae
Arrange a playdate at Orange Wheels
When it’s hot outside, little ones need somewhere to run wild. (And sometimes, you don’t want that place to be home.) At Orange Wheels, this indoor edutainment venue offers various play zones that include; playgrounds, climbing walls, a toddler village, arts & crafts studio, salon & spa, organic café, a gym and a shop. Open daily from 10am until late. For more information visit www.orangewheels.com

enjoy longer visits. Open daily from 9am. For more information visit www. emiratesparkzooandresort.com
Sign up for fitness classes at My First Gym
It can sometimes be tough trying to find new classes for your kids - and classes that they will actually enjoy.

For more information visit ww.myfirstgym.com

For more information, visit www.artcentral.ae
Buy a weekday beach and pool pass at the Palace
As the temperature continues to rise, it can be a tough task keeping the kids cool. So, why not book a special afternoon treat during Ramadan and head to the Beach Club at Emirates Palace?

space offering workshops, drop-in sessions, and art classes. You’ll also be able to stock up on art supplies from Art Central, or enjoy a quick coffee break at LARTE.
With Warner Bros set to open 25 July 2018, Yas Island is the place to be if you’re looking for family entertainment with added thrills!
Days at home don’t have to be boring over the summer holidays. Why not get the kids in the kitchen and have a bakeoff! Cupcakes are really simple to make and buying the ingredients won’t break the bank either.
You’ll easily be able to spend an entire day at Al Ain Zoo, set over 900 hectares and home to over 4,000 animals. Discover the fascinating world of falcons and falconry with an interactive tour around the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital. Holiday camps are a great place for children to learn new skills and make new friends. To make life simple, we’ve added an extensive list of holiday camps to our online directory. One thing we’re definitely not short of in Abu Dhabi is beautiful beaches, and a lot of beach clubs offer day passes at discounted rates throughout the summer. With a choice of five theme parks, no summer holiday would be complete without a trip to Dubai Parks & Resorts. Wadi Adventure in Al Ain is the Middle East’s first man-made white-water rafting, kayaking, and surfing facility, all with the stunning backdrop of Jebel Hafeet. Indoor adventure centres such as Adventure HQ and Bounce are great ways for kids to burn off steam and stay active, plus most offer promotional rates throughout the school break. Really bring the temperatures down on the ice rink at Zayed Sports City or book a game of ten-pin bowling at their indoor bowling alley.
Another way to beat boredom at home is to get crafty! DIY arts and crafts are easy to buy and will keep the children entertained for hours. Look out for Abu Dhabi Summer Season which takes place every year from June to August with a packed schedule of entertainment across the capital. Stay cool in the heat and get out in the water.

Staying Safe in the Sun As the temperatures rise in Abu Dhabi, it’s vital to protect children from the harsh summer sun. Children’s skin is far more sensitive than adults' skin, and their bodies are unaccustomed to the intensity of the heat, making them more prone to burning, heat rash, and heat stroke. Here are 5 tips to keep kids safe in the sun:
Cover up & limit time in the sun Sun exposure should be kept to a minimum, especially for smaller children. Keep children covered with loose fitting clothing, a sun hat, and sunglasses, and don’t forget to choose sunglasses that carry good UV ray protection.
Use a high factor sun cream Children’s skin is very light-sensitive, so opt for a broad-spectrum sun cream that offers protection from both UVA and UVB rays. We recommend using factor 50.
Stay hydrated Water makes up a huge percentage of body tissue. In the heat, children will naturally lose more water through sweat than in the non-summer months, so it’s important to keep them properly hydrated throughout the day. Giving children snacks that are high in water content like fruits and veggies are also a good way of increasing their daily water intake.
Prepare for the heat Make sure you are prepared for the heat by carrying the essentials with you, including plenty of water, sun cream, hat, and sunglasses. Also try to avoid the hottest parts of the day which are between 11am and 3pm.
Look out for signs of heat stroke Pay attention to any tell-tale signs that your child could be suffering from heat stroke- dizziness, nausea, headache, rapid breathing, decreased urination, and even changes in behaviour. If you notice any of these symptoms, move to a cool place and bring their temperature down as quickly as you can.

Staying Active Over the Summer
by Advantage Sports UAE
One of the easiest ways to keep the kids active over the summer months is to get them in the pool. Swimming is an amazing exercise, has endless health & fitness benefits, and safety in the water is an important life skill. Here’s three reasons why swimming is such a great way to stay active over the summer: • Movement through the water is slower than out of the water so uses more muscle movement than other exercises • Swimming uses every muscle in the body, building strength and cardiovascular fitness • By incorporating games, races, and challenges, swimming is so fun that children won’t even realise that they are exercising

Education
Early Years Curriculae Making the decision as to which early years curriculae will best suit your child can be a daunting process, but making the right choice will mean your child gets off to a flying start. Sophie Oakes, Early Years Consultant, Gabbitas Education looks at the different curriculae available in nurseries in the UAE and discusses the pros and cons of each.
Montessori This is one of the most popular nursery school curriculums. It is extremely popular in the States and across Europe as well. Developed by Maria Montessori in Italy in the early twentieth century, it is a child centered learning approach that believes in the child being able to move freely within the learning environment. The child would be supported by a teacher and be guided in well ordered ‘work cycles’ in a prepared environment to encourage their development. The tools the children have at their disposal are usually wooden and are placed on shelves at child height. There are many tactile elements to a Montessori classroom. For example a child would start learning their letters by feeling a sandpaper example of that letter. The apparatus that the children use is fundamental to the Montessori approach and is a defining characteristic of a Montessori nursery. The only problem is that Montessori education has been open to lots of interpretation. It is often used here in conjunction with another curriculum such as the EYFS so for the purist adherent to Montessori education, it is often hard to find a nursery that is strictly Montessori in its practises.
EYFS TThis stands for Early Years Foundation Stage and is starting point for the British National Curriculum. This very much focuses on purposeful play with seven overarching areas of learning: • Communication and Language • Physical Development • P ersonal, Social and Emotional Development • Literacy • Mathematics • Understanding the World • Expressive Arts and Design There is very little left uncovered here and is seen as a good set of principles for nurseries to follow as it covers all the bases. Whilst less holistic than say Montessori or Reggio Emilia it can easily be used in conjunction with those curriculum and it is fair to say that it has adopted many of the principles of those other curriculae.
Reggio Emilia The Reggio Emilia curriculum, found in some nursery schools here, recognises that children are born with an innate sense of creativity, which needs to be nurtured. It is an educational philosophy that makes children very much part of their own learning structure. Part of the Reggio Emilia way is to realise that it is important within their learning to allow them to make mistakes. This allows them to be free of the fear of failing and thus be more comfortable exploring original thought. Parents are an important part of the Reggio philosophy as are seen as partners and advocates for their children in association with the nursery. This is a hands on approach to learning rather than a child passively listening to a teacher. There is an emphasis on light and space within the nursery, the environment being an important part of a child’s learning.
So which is right for your child? There are many nurseries who have begun to develop their own educational approaches. However, the majority of them are used in conjunction with a more well-known curriculum such as the EYFS. Sometimes the more progressive approaches (Montessori & Reggio Emilia) can put parents off as it is not something they might have experienced in their youth and there is a distinct lack of rote learning that lots of parents understand and believe in. However, be reassured that these educational approaches are extremely well researched and have strong pedagogical studies behind them. It is a case of finding out exactly how well a nursery follows these educational philosophies. Parents often ask how well these different approaches fit into the next school. It is easy to say that in all these different curricula your child will be extremely well equipped to enter the next phase of education. There is no disadvantage moving from any of these wonderful, child focused, learning environments to the British, US or International Baccalaureate curriculae.

Cranleigh opens new building designed specifically to support its Sixth Form educational philosophy The standalone, custom built centre is a further substantial asset for a school already noted for its generously resourced green and spacious campus on Saadiyat Island.
The building’s modern architectural concept facilitates the kind of skills development pupils need to thrive at the world’s leading universities. Undergraduate admissions teams have long complained that too many �irst year students have been ‘spoon fed’ at school, leading to worrying drop-out rates, and this was top of mind for Cranleigh when designing the new centre. “We were adamant that our Sixth Form focus would not only be on pupils achieving the best possible A Level grades” explains Acting Headmaster, Matthew Ford. “Our ambition is much more than that. We aim to produce young adults who not only get the grades to secure a top university place, but who are also fully prepared to get the most out of their time there. Fundamental to this approach is basing our teaching on the Harkness method.” Harkness is an approach in which pupils study independently outside of lessons, using class time to discuss their learning, and to challenge and stimulate each other. Ideally, the teacher becomes an equal participant in peer discussion, facilitating rather than leading.
Ford spent eight years at Wellington College in the UK which was, under Sir Anthony Seldon, one of the �irst schools in Britain to adopt Harkness, following in the footsteps of leading US schools such as Phillips Exeter Academy and Lawrenceville.
www.yallaabudhabi.ae
“I was lucky enough to visit these schools with Sir Anthony”, says Ford, “and it made a lasting impression on me. I knew Harkness would provide the right foundation for what our Sixth Form needs to deliver, building on the approach already adopted with the younger children at Cranleigh”. With its philosophy of treating Sixth Formers like young adults, preparing them for the next stages of their academic life, the school was clear that it needed a building to facilitate this. This has certainly been achieved. The 12 spacious Harkness teaching rooms look just like Board Rooms, with clean lines and oval tables. These are complemented by two further rooms equipped with top-of-the-range conference technology to allow for collaborative sessions with schools, universities and businesses across the globe. The stylishly furnished recreational and work spaces are also more akin to a university or business environment. Completing the excellent facilities are large studios for Design Technology and Art, both planned speci�ically for a Sixth Form environment. “Our parents have been impressed by the new facility” says Ford, “and rightly so. But as I remind them, the most important and compelling feature of the centre is the style and calibre of teaching and learning going on within it.”

Top Tips for Effective Revision With exams in schools across the UAE just around the corner, it is that time of the year again when revision becomes the focus of many families across the Middle East. Fiona McKenzie, Director, Gabbitas Education Middle East, shares her top tips on how to ensure your child is making the most of their revision time ahead of the exam season.
Draw up a revision timetable The first step is to draw up a revision timetable. Having a clear plan ensures you know what you are going to do each day and for how long, this way you’ll know exactly what you need to focus and won’t waste time getting started each day. Research shows that shorter spells work best for concentration, so aim for 45 minutes slots, with time to set up this will allow a good 30 minutes of effective revision and then 10 minutes to review. But don’t waste time making your revision timetable look pretty, sadly it does not count as revision!
Look after yourself Taking regular, short breaks is key to keep your concentration going. A quick break of 5-10 minutes after each 45 minute session is plenty to fix a drink or get up and walk about. Physical activity is very important during intense study so make sure you build this into your revision timetable. Even a quick 30-minute jog or walk after a day of studying will increase your heart rate and get vital oxygen to your brain helping to reduce tiredness and stress. Alongside this, make sure you eat healthily too. Plenty of vegetables and fish are definitely good for brain power but fast food or processed foods are definitely not! Keep those revision snacks healthy!
Think about your environment This is pretty straightforward but make sure there are no distractions where you are going to work. Find your spot, keep all your books and equipment there and ask people to respect this space as a working zone. Do not pretend that having your phone by your side for your music is going to be a concentration aid! Minimise potential interruptions by turning off your phone and email alerts. Research shows that revising in conditions as close to those you will face in an exam is very beneficial.
Listen to the research There has been lots of great research into effective revision techniques, so listen to their findings! Making summary notes has been proven to be one of the most successful ways of memorising
information, especially if you then summarise your summary notes! This is far more effective than revising from notes on a computer. The act or writing things out is proven to aid memory and it also gets you used to writing again in preparation for long stints holding a pen in the exam room. In addition, spicing up your notes with colour has been proven to support memory retention more effectively than just black and white. So use lots of colour on your mindmaps and stick coloured post it notes with key points all over the house.
Practise your exam techniques Just knowing the facts is not enough, you need to ensure you know how best to answer the questions to get the top grades. Make sure you build timed practice papers into your revision timetable to get familiar with the timing and the types of questions you might be asked. You should be aiming to limit any surprises on the day.
Try to reduce your stress levels Be sensible and start your revision early, there is nothing worse than feeling like you don’t have enough time! In a similar way, stick to your revision timetable but don’t let revision take up your whole day. Getting your revision done in the morning and then rewarding yourself with something enjoyable in the afternoon is a great way to keep motivated. But most of all, make sure you sleep and try to relax!

Eating Out with kids. A recent study conducted by Zayed University showed that 80% of restaurant’s children’s meals do not meet the recommendations for a healthy diet, based on 27 food outlets across Abu Dhabi. It’s vital to protect children’s health through their diet, and some simple changes will have a big impact: • Stick to water or lowfat milk to help teeth and bone development, as well as reduce sugar and calorie intake. • Order vegetable sticks whilst you’re waiting for your foodthey’re more likely to eat them when they’re hungry and all of the vitamins and nutrients they contain. Plus, it should keep them fuller for longer meaning no sugary dessert! • Swap French fries for rice or pasta. • Choose grilled or pan-fried meat or fish rather than deepfried food.
• If there are no healthy options on the children’s menu, order a half-sized adult meal instead. • Every now and then a dessert is ok, restrict those times to special occasions. For a healthier dessert option, fruit is always a good idea as a sweet and healthy snack. • Promises of sweets or dessert can make children overeat, so instead reward good behaviour around the table with an activity together when you get home. • Avoid forcing kids to finish their food. If you think they have eaten enough, then don’t encourage them to over-eat. • Don’t be afraid to say no to your children when they ask for food or drinks that you know are bad for them. If you’re wondering if any of this will actually make a difference… If your child drinks a regular soft drink just twice a week, by the end of the year they will have consumed around 3,100g of sugar- that’s equivalent to roughly 1500 sugar cubes. Written by Malin Garemo, Dept of Health Sciences, Zayed University

Vaccinations in Children Are vaccines safe?
All parents want to keep their children safe and healthy, and one of the best ways to do that is to get them vaccinated against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Vaccinations are vital in order to reduce the risk of your child contracting a serious disease, but they also protect the entire community as such diseases can spread quickly amongst unvaccinated people. It is also important to keep in mind that if you choose not to vaccinate your child, not only will they be at risk of contracting a serious and preventable disease, but they may also find it difficult to achieve a place at nursery or school.
advise the most effective schedule based on the vaccinations that your child has already received.
Can I still vaccinate my child if they are feeling unwell? Whilst it is important to stick to the vaccination schedule, if your child is very sick, they have a high fever, or are taking antibiotics, they may not be able to have the vaccination, but your pediatrician will be able to advise if this is the case.
What is the importance of vaccinating against diseases that are virtually eradicated?

All of these diseases are still common in other countries so it is possible to still contract them. When the vaccination rate drops, the rate of disease can very quickly increase, putting unvaccinated children at risk.
Is it safe for babies & children to have several vaccines over a short period of time – do vaccines ‘overload’ their immune system? Not at all. The vaccination schedule in Abu Dhabi starts from birth, then babies will receive a vaccination when they are 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months old. In total, they will receive 11-12 injections before they are two years old, but their immune systems are more than capable at coping with this. A baby’s immune system has the ability to cope with 10,000 vaccines, so 11 is only just over 0.1% of their total immune capacity.
What should I do if my child has started their vaccinations in my home country? Your pediatrician will be able to adjust your child’s schedule of vaccinations according to your home country. They’ll be able to
C
M
Y
Are there any side-effects after immunisation? This depends on the type of virus and the immune system of the child, but vaccines will significantly reduce the risk of your child contracting the disease.
At what age will children stop receiving vaccinations? As well as a vaccination schedule for babies, the Health Authority Abu Dhabi also provide a school vaccination schedule. Infection and disease spread quickly around schools, so children receive boosters to keep them protected, including MMR and polio, depending on their age. Children will receive their last vaccine according to the schedule of childhood vaccination at around Grade 11. Though it’s not a mandatory vaccination, it is also recommended that teenagers receive the meningococcal conjugate vaccine, the first of which they will receive at the age of 13, and a booster after two years.

Eating Out vs Eating Healthily Can you do both?
With more restaurants than you can shake a stick (-y toffee pudding) at in Abu Dhabi, it’s no surprise that families are choosing to eat out more than ever before. And whilst dining out at your favourite restaurant is without question a fun experience, too much of it can have a negative impact on your health. Aside from the bigger portions, restaurant meals are often higher in calories, fat, sugar, and salt compared to home-cooked food. But don’t worry, we’re not going to tell you that you need to stop eating out. Life is all about balance, so here are some tips to help you make healthy choices and have fun whilst dining out:
Salads aren’t always the healthiest option
Add in a dressing, croutons, and cheese, and all of a sudden there are a lot more calories in your innocent salad than you intended. Choose salads that are high in protein (chicken, salmon, egg) to keep you feeling fuller for longer, and ask for the dressing on the side.
Switch-out unhealthy sides
Ask for grilled or steamed vegetables instead of french-fries, or a leafy green salad instead of pasta for more nutrients, less calories, and an overall healthier meal.
Stay away from deep-fried foods
This will make a huge difference to your health as deep-fried foods are high in fat and salt.

SUMMER 2018
Take leftovers home
Once you are full, stop eating. If there’s still food on your plate, ask to take the leftovers home and have them for lunch the next day. It is good for your health, the environment and your wallet.
Be mindful of sugary drinks
Juices, soft drinks and mocktails are often high in calories that you might not think about and have very little nutritional value. Instead, stick to still or sparkling water with fresh lemon, lime, or cucumber. If you’re wondering if any of this will actually make a difference… If you eat out twice a week every week, by the end of the year you will have consumed 28,000 kcal in bread before your meal. That’s enough calories for a fully-grown adult for 14 days. Written by Malin Garemo, Dept of Health Sciences, Zayed University
Weqaya The Department of Health in Abu Dhabi is promoting healthy eating in restaurants through a menu labeling initiative, Weqaya. Meaning ‘prevention’ in Arabic, Weqaya is a way to empower customers to make healthier choices by identifying meals that contain 750 kcal or less, with a controlled amount of fat, salt, and sugar. If you can’t find Weqaya at your favourite restaurant, then please don’t be afraid to ask!
sauté for a further 2 minutes. Whisk eggs, sour cream, and chopped parsley, and mix in the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms and zucchini, shaking the pan to evenly distribute the mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, without stirring, until the frittata starts to set. Take a large plate and place it on top of the pan, then with a quick, confident move flip the frittata onto the plate. Slide the frittata back to the pan, uncooked side down. Cook for another 5 minutes until it’s set. Transfer to a serving plate and let cool for 5–10 minutes Serve with a rocket salad, lightly tossed with apple cider vinegar
Eating Organic
Organic produce simply refers to fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy that has been grown without the use of unnatural products, and whilst the concept of eating “organic” may seem like a modern-day trend, it has in fact been around for centuries, as the majority of historical agricultural practices were organic just perhaps without being labelled as such. Fast forward to 2018, and as popularity in consuming organic food grows, is it really worth the hype? Well, the benefits are seemingly obvious; aside from keeping harmful toxins off your plate, eating organic means eating more natural food with even better flavours, it’s far better for the environment, and it supports local farmers and independent businesses. Here’s where you can shop organic in the Capital:
Farmbox
Farmbox delivers fresh, tasty, and organic produce directly to your door, with a choice of two fantastic ranges; 100% organic with produce from Europe or a mix of local organic and conventional products. Simply select the size of the box that you would like and choose between a fruit box, vegetable box or combination of both.
Fulfilme.com
Fulfilme.com is a one-stop online supermarket for all of your grocery needs, but the retailer has also recently introduced an extensive organic range, which includes everything from hot pepper sauce to cereals - and everything in between. For new mums, there’s also a very good organic “Mum & Baby” section to keep you safe in the knowledge that your little one isn’t consuming any nasty or harmful toxins in their food.
Kibsons
Delivered directly from the market to your front door, Kibsons home delivery service offers quick and convenient online ordering with an extensive range of 100% natural and fresh products with no additives or preservatives. Kibsons also do their bit for the environment by asking customers to return delivery boxes on their next order and using plastic bags that are 100% eco-compatible.

How to structure your diet during Ramadan. by Advantage Sports UAE
and avoid excessive rises in blood sugar. “Carbohydrates are your body's main energy source, but they can work against your energy levels. Simple carbohydrates cause your blood sugar to spike more rapidly than slower-moving complex carbohydrates like whole grains and starchy vegetables. The rapid spike after eating simple carbohydrates can cause your blood sugar to plummet back down, leaving you feeling tired.”
Get enough sleep
Drink the right amount of water
Avoid trying to ‘stock up’ on water. “Water is a diuretic, so the more you consume, the more you lose – this means that by over-consuming water at times that you can, you dehydrate yourself further by making more bathroom trips”. Keep your intake of water at a normal rate for you and simply add a touch of good quality rock salt to your food.
“Sleep is your secret dietary supplement – a lack of it will lead you feeling tired, grumpy, hungry, and unable to exercise” says Maria. Though your sleep pattern will naturally be disrupted during Ramadan it’s important to still get enough time in the land of nod to allow your body to rest, recover, and repair.
Eat slow release proteins
Be mindful of your calorie intake
Avoid excessive carbohydrates
“Many people use intermittent fasting in their usual dieting plans, so there is no reason why you can’t actually improve your health during Ramadan. The most important thing is to be mindful of what you are eating when you break your fast,” Maria tells us.
Protein is the food source that will keep you feeling fuller and more energised for longer. By helping to maintain balanced blood sugar levels, protein also helps to lessen the impact of the inevitable dip in energy levels that you will feel whilst you are fasting.
Traditional Ramadan meals are often heavy in carbohydrates, but simply adding more protein and healthy fats to these will help to slow down digestion
Stay on Track with Exercise During Ramadan The month of Ramadan presents obstacles in maintaining your usual exercise regime, leaving a lot of people concerned about their ability to stay on track towards their fitness goals, though that doesn’t need to be the case. “The most important thing during Ramadan is to maintain an element of flexibility- be prepared to restructure your normal work-out routine,” Maria Ingliss, Partner & Co-Owner at Advantage Sports UAE.
When is the Best Time to Train?
Depending on your schedule, there are typically three
optimal options: 1. Train shortly after suhoor (just after sunrise) 2. Train shortly after iftar (break your fast with a small snack first) 3. Train as early in the day as possible after suhoor
Reduce Your Training Volume
The lack of food and water will have a direct impact on your ability to perform at your best, so the simplest way to overcome this is to set yourself a smaller target during each Ramadan fitness session. “If you’d usually complete 4 sets of an exercise, drop this down to 2 instead, or work out for 5 minutes instead of 15, for instance,” explains Maria.
Fasting is a great way to reduce the overall amount of calories you consume in a day, but don’t be under the illusion that you can eat whatever you like when you break your fast.

Each country has different requirements and regulations, which are constantly being updated, but generally the airline and the specific breed of your animal will determine how to safely transport it. The first thing to ensure is that our furry friends have a correctly sized travel crate, which provides ventilation and enough room to be comfortable. There is a specific formula to work this out, which most vets will be able to advise you on. The German Veterinary Clinic in Khalifa City A even has a Transport Team who are able to provide a bespoke service for your pets, whether you require documents only or a full door to door service. Aside from the travel crates, you need to purchase appropriate mats, blankets, absorbent pads and water bowls, as well as an array of species-specific products that will help to make your pet’s journey as comfortable as possible. Depending on the species of your pet and where they are travelling to, it is very likely that they will need specific vaccinations, blood tests, and microchipping (if they aren’t already). These procedures, combined with preparing the correct documentation, naturally takes time, and so it is advisable to begin the process as soon as possible. For some destinations, the process has to be started no more than seven months prior to your anticipated travel date, so again it is important to check before arranging travel. The German Veterinary Clinic has, over the last 10 years, successfully relocated thousands of pets to and from all corners of the globe. If you have any queries about transporting your pet, you can get in touch with Dr Katrin by emailing drkatrin@germanvet. ae or visit www.germanvet.ae
