Try the fasting-mimicking ProLon diet
Its been rumoured to do everything from stimulating weight loss to reversing the effects of ageing. And now ProLon, the worlds first five-day fasting mimicking diet, has launched in the UAE. ProLon was developed by Dr Valter Longo, author of The Longevity Diet. Dr Joseph Antoun, chief executive and chairman of the board at L-Nutra-Inc, the company that owns ProLon, says Longo saw a connection between fasting and ageing. Five days of fasting stresses the body enough that it goes into a process of rejuvenation, which is good for weight loss and anti-ageing. When the cell stops seeing calories coming from the outside, it starts eating the debris within - its a process of clean up called autophagy, he says ProLon is a plant-based meal programme that follows this strategy and provides meals for five-day periods in a month in grab-and-go boxes. When one isnt following the diet, they can go back to what they were consuming earlier, although a pescatarian or flexitarian diet, ie a diet with mostly vegetables and fish, is recommended. A standard ProLon box comprises of nut bars, kale crisps, olives, soups and herbal teas, with specific instructions on when these should be consumed, and calories consumed on a daily basis range from 700 to 1,100. The Prolon diet is available online for delivery, and is priced at Dh1,150 for a five-day meal plan.
A daily cuppa may be good for bone health
Heres another reason to savour your cup of coffee in the morning. A recent study looked into the association between coffee consumption and bone health, and found that people who habitually drink the beverage had a higher bone mass density that non-coffee drinkers. Published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the report analysed the coffee consumption habits of 564 people. Three metabolites, in particular, were associated with an increase in bone density in the population, and also, a decrease in the risk of fracture, said Dr Chad Deal of Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. The study is particularly of interest as the relationship between coffee and bone health has been studied before with conflicting results; past research has suggested that the more caffeine a person drinks, the more calcium leaves the body. For all those folks who drink lots of coffee and are concerned about [its] health effects, this is good news, said Deal.
Lifen One to host immersive meditation workshop for men
On Friday, February 28, German sound artist and meditative healer Hansu Jot (pictured above) will host the Mens Immersion workshop at Lifen One meditation centre. The session includes short lectures, kundalini yoga, breath work, sound healing, chanting and interactive exercises aimed at finding purpose, fostering healthy relationships, increasing emotional intelligence and generating prosperity. It, and aims to provide a safe space for men to explore their spiritual side. Jots premise is that men should hold the space of clarity and connection [to] allow spiritually empowered women to relax and thrive. Set to take place from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, the workshop is priced at Dh250.
