START YOUR MORNINGS RIGHT WITH
YES SUPERMARKET
Everyone’s looking to get healthy, and the best step that you can
immediately take to significantly improve your life, according to
many dieticians, is to start drinking freshly pressed vegetable juices.
How significant? Drink one cup and you’ve already fulfilled more
than 50 percent of your daily recommended fibre intake. At the
same time, you’re enjoying a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and
phytonutrients that can protect your cells against premature ageing
and disease.
The key to making healthy vegetable juices is to ensure that the
bulk of your drink is made up of green vegetables. About a third can
be made up of sweet vegetables such as carrots and red beets for
their flavour. After a few rounds of experimentation, here are two of
our favourite recipes that we created
together with YES Supermarket.
LETTUCE-CARROT JUICE
• 2 carrots
• 2 ribs of celery
• 8 leaves of romaine lettuce
Romaine lettuce is one of the best green
vegetables you can juice because it
doesn’t spike your insulin levels and
keeps you full. The carrots are there
because, well, carrots are delicious!
TOMATO-CELERY-LEMON JUICE
• 2 tomatoes
• 3 ribs of celery
• 1 carrot
• Squeeze of lemon
If you’re feeling a bit more
adventurous, you can try this tomatobased vegetable juice that’s based off
the alcoholic drink, Bloody Mary, just
without the downsides. Add a bit of
lemon for that sour kick that definitely
leaves your mouth craving for more.

KIDSFEST 2015
Our favourite children’s theatre festival is coming back in January 2015!
The folks at ABA Productions are collaborating with heavyweights such as
The Birmingham Stage Company, ERTH Visual & Physical Inc., etc. to bring
a literary smorgasbord of world-class performances that will appeal to
children and families of all ages, shapes and sizes! Enjoy the performances
of compelling characters brought to life and scenes from well-loved
books enacted vividly on the stage. The 2015 edition will feature returning
favourites such as The Gruffalo and The Snail and the Whale as well as new
shows such as The Princess and the Pea and ERTH’s Dinosaur Zoo.
Our personal pick is The Tiger Who Came to Tea, a popular production that
recently ended its run at London’s West End and is now coming to Asia
to enthral viewers with its brand of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy
chaos. The show starts off innocently enough – Sophie and her mummy are
sitting down for tea when the doorbell rings. Lo and behold, a tiger is at the
door! Absolute fun for the whole family, this one.
Tickets for KidsFest 2015 are now on sale at SISTIC outlets, with
discounts available for each additional production you’re going for. Bulk
bookings for schools are also available at discounted rates. Check out

TRAIN THAT MIDDLE BRAIN!
The middle brain, or
midbrain, is the smallest
region of the brain but
that doesn’t mean it’s
any less important.
Normally overlooked
by most people, the
middle brain acts as a
relay station for auditory
and visual information
controls your
eye movement.
and
Strengthening your midbrain
provides a lot of benefits,
including enhanced
concentration, higher confidence
and better memory retention. It is incredibly beneficial for school-going
children who will experience improved academic results. One of the
leading midbrain activation institutes in Singapore is Mental Literacy
Training Pte Ltd, which has expanded their operations to Malaysia
and Philippines. Working with children in a stress-free, easy-going
environment, the teachers at Mental Literacy Training Pte Ltd ensure
that their charges have fun while still achieving the objectives set out in
the course programme.
