Your Guide to Choosing Low GI Carbs in Singapore

16 May 2012
Think you're doing everything right but still can't shake off that midday slump? It's time to go low GI. First up, this GI has nothing to do with the action figures you played with when you were younger. The Glycaemic Index ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on your blood glucose levels. High GI carbs cause glucose levels to spike and drop quickly, resulting in that 3pm slump. But low GI foods steady your glucose levels, giving you longer-lasting energy and keeping hunger at bay. Switching to low GI carbs can be tricky (not to mention hard to find here), ...read more

Not to alarm you... but your home just may be slowly killing you. Think your floor cleaners and dishwashing liquid are getting the job done? They're also slowly destroying your nervous system. And you might want to evaluate that air freshener - studies have shown that phthalates (read: very bad chemical) in them cause developmental and reproductive problems. Mums: the side-effects are worse on kids, especially infants. Time to junk the bad stuff and replace it with non-toxic and readily available options out there. Home First to go: the cleansers. We particularly love Method for its friendly price points ...read more

Ever wanted to be a domestic goddess but ended up just slaving over your stove? We know - we've been there, done that, and given up too. Inspired by Nigella Lawson, we wanted to give the domestic goddess thing a second go, but when she pulled out a real tajine for a Moroccan lamb stew (which no doubt she bought herself while in Morocco)... we called it quits. Instead we put our amateur chef skills to the chopping board and one-upped Lawson by whipping up a Moroccan lamb salad in just 15 minutes. Absolutely no fancy equipment needed here, and ...read more
