As someone committed to wellness, I’m always on the lookout for high-quality health supplements that truly offer benefits.

Recently, I tried out GKB Antrodia and GKB Eurycozin — two standout products from GKB that really deliver.

If you’re seeking a boost in liver health or men’s vitality, keep reading to learn why I highly recommend these.

GKB Antrodia: Your Trusted Ally for Liver Health
The first product I tried is GKB Antrodia, a liver health supplement that’s Jakim Halal certified, approved by Malaysia’s KKM, and made with high-quality vegetarian capsules.

This liver tonic combines tradition and innovation, using Antrodia Cinnamomea mycelium extract, a renowned medicinal fungus traditionally used for liver health and hepatoprotective properties.

Since adding GKB Antrodia to my daily routine, I’ve noticed a boost in my overall energy levels and liver function. The supplement’s rich blend of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties helped my liver feel supported and balanced, aiding my body’s natural detox processes.

What stands out with GKB Antrodia is their patented liquid fermentation technology, ensuring highly preserved bioactive compounds without unwanted residues. This innovation means that each capsule delivers a potent health impact you can trust. Knowing that GKB Antrodia is backed by scientific research gave me confidence, making it an easy choice for liver health and lipidemia support.

For those who stay up late, deal with cholesterol issues, or simply want to support their liver health, GKB Antrodia could be a great option. The supplement is also beneficial for people with high visceral fat, fatty liver, and even those who consume alcohol. Thanks to its cholesterol regulation properties, it has a positive impact on overall liver function and lipidemia support.

To experience these benefits, it’s recommended to take two capsules twice daily after meals. With each dose, I felt assured that I was taking steps toward better liver health and sustained energy.

GKB Eurycozin: Energize Your Day and Enhance Men’s Vitality
Next, I tried GKB Eurycozin, a product specifically designed for men’s vitality and stamina.

Formulated with Tongkat Ali extract, L-Arginine, L-Carnitine Fumarate, and Zinc Yeast, this supplement offers a unique 3-in-1 blend to enhance energy levels, workout boost, and overall vitality. Since starting GKB Eurycozin, I’ve felt a significant energy boost. The combination of L-Arginine and L-Carnitine Fumarate provided me with the extra energy needed for long days or intense workouts. My motivation increased, making each workout session more effective and satisfying.

A notable benefit of GKB Eurycozin is its support for hormonal balance, thanks to the effects of Tongkat Ali. Over time, I noticed an improvement in stamina and general wellness, which positively impacted my daily activities and family life. With a steady energy boost and enhanced men’s vitality, my lifestyle felt more balanced and fulfilling.

To incorporate GKB Eurycozin into your routine, simply take two capsules once daily after a meal. This easy addition can make a world of difference, especially for men who want to boost their performance, stamina, or workout boost. With each capsule, I felt I was helping myself become the best version of myself.

Why GKB?
When it comes to health products, it’s essential to choose those that are both effective and trustworthy. Both GKB Antrodia and GKB Eurycozin are Jakim Halal certified, KKM approved, and crafted with premium ingredients, giving peace of mind along with real health benefits.

Whether you’re aiming to support liver health with GKB Antrodia for its lipidemia support and cholesterol regulation, or seeking a boost in men’s vitality and energy with GKB Eurycozin, both products are excellent options. I highly recommend trying them for yourself — you’ll likely feel the difference just as I have!

World COPD Day 2024: Raising Awareness for Better Lung Health

November 21, 2024December 3, 2024 dixonthum

On 20 November 2024, I had the privilege of attending the World Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Day 2024 event, hosted by the Family Medicine Specialists’ Association (FMSA) and supported by AstraZeneca Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

The program began with welcome remarks by Dr Nor Hazlin Talib, Consultant Family Medicine Specialist and President of FMSA, who set the tone by emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and collaborative efforts in tackling COPD. The day’s theme, “Know Your Lung Function,” reinforced the need for greater public awareness of lung health.

Members of the Panel on COPD which tackled the discussion on the need for a paradigm shift in COPD Management in Malaysia. From Left to Right: Dr Azza Omar, D. Dr Ahmad Izuanuddin Ismail and Dr Murallitharan Munisamy

COPD Panel Discussion
A significant highlight of the event was the COPD panel discussion moderated by Dr Azza Omar, Respiratory Physician at Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II.

The esteemed panelists included:

Dato Dr Mat Zuki Mat Jaeb, Respiratory Consultant and Medicine Department Head at Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II
Professor Dr Ahmad Izuanuddin Ismail, Deputy Director (Clinical) at Hospital Al-Sultan Abdullah Universiti Teknologi Mara
Dr Sri Wahyu Taher, Consultant Family Medicine Specialist and Head of Clinic at Klinik Kesihatan Simpang Kuala, Alor Setar, Kedah
Associate Prof Dr Murallitharan Munisamy, Chairman of the Malaysia Medical Association (MMA) Action on Smoking and Health Committee

The discussion covered various critical aspects of COPD management, including:

The Need for Paradigm Shifts in COPD Management
What is COPD, Risk Factors, and Sharing of Patient Experience
The Unmet Need of COPD Management in Malaysia
The Role of Integrated and Multi-disciplinary Team Management of COPD
The Need to Shift to Preventive Care and the Role of Primary Care
How Private Healthcare Can Support Better Care and Management

Each speaker shared invaluable insights, from addressing the challenges of underdiagnosis to emphasizing the importance of preventive care. There was a strong focus on integrating multidisciplinary care to improve outcomes and how private healthcare could complement public health initiatives in managing COPD effectively.

YB Dato Lukanisman delivering his address at the Launch of the World COPD Day

Key Messages from Deputy Minister of Health
The event also featured an impactful speech by Yang Berhormat Dato Lukanisman bin Awang Sauni, Malaysia’s Deputy Minister of Health. He stressed the rising burden of COPD both globally and in Malaysia, where chronic lower respiratory diseases, including COPD, rank among the top causes of death.

While I can feel my heartbeat, I can’t hear my lungs breathing, and hence, people tend to neglect the importance of healthy lungs, not just a healthy heart.

said Yang Berhormat Dato Lukanisman bin Awang Sauni

This simple yet profound statement underscores the silent role our lungs play in our daily lives, and why awareness about lung health is crucial.

The Burden of COPD
The Deputy Minister highlighted alarming statistics about COPD, a chronic lung disease that obstructs airflow and causes breathing difficulties. Globally, COPD is projected to become the third leading cause of death by 2030, and in Malaysia, it’s already a significant public health concern.

In 2022, chronic lower respiratory diseases, including COPD, were the seventh leading cause of death in Malaysia, accounting for over 2,270 deaths.
Major risk factors include cigarette smoke, air pollution, occupational hazards, and even genetic predispositions.

Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach, starting with better diagnosis and management.

Tackling Underdiagnosis
One of the standout points was the emphasis on addressing underdiagnosis. Many individuals mistake COPD symptoms—like chronic cough or shortness of breath—as signs of aging or other ailments.

“How many of us in this room actually know how healthy our lungs are?” Dato Lukanisman posed this thought-provoking question, reminding everyone to take the time to understand their lung health.

Improving public awareness and equipping primary care practitioners, such as GPs and family medicine specialists, to screen and diagnose early are vital steps. The free lung function tests offered at the event were a great example of accessible health initiatives.

We also witnessed the official handover of White Paper on COPD to the Deputy Minister of Health in the event.

Legislative Action: Act 852
The Malaysian government has begun enforcing Act 852, which imposes strict regulations on the sale and display of tobacco and vape products. The Act prohibits the sale of these products through online platforms and vending machines with immediate effect, while businesses must comply with the retail display ban by April 2025.

Dato Lukanisman emphasized that these measures are designed to protect youth and reduce smoking rates, with the goal of significantly decreasing smoking and vaping behaviors. This, in turn, is expected to help alleviate the burden of COPD in Malaysia.

Public-Private Partnerships
Collaboration was another key theme. The Deputy Minister called for strengthened partnerships between the public and private sectors to improve diagnostic rates, advance treatment options, and support clinical research. This united front, he said, is essential for sustainable healthcare.

Prioritizing Lung Health for a Better Future
As the event concluded, I gained a deeper appreciation of the importance of lung health in overall well-being. The message was clear: addressing COPD requires a united effort from all sectors of society, with continued support and dedication to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.

For anyone reading this, now is the perfect time to learn about COPD, its risk factors, and steps to protect your lungs. Let’s work together to create a healthier future where lung health is a priority for everyone.

The event was followed by the media launch of Breztri Aerosphere®, a new COPD treatment by AstraZeneca, where Mr Vinod Narayanan, Country President AstraZeneca Malaysia gave any insightful speech, followed by a launch video presentation and photo op.

Our latest triple combination therapy, Breztri Aerosphere®, has evidence across several clinical trials demonstrating reduction in flare-ups and COPD related hospitalisations. AstraZeneca’s aim is to reverse the progression of COPD, transform treatment goals and improve patient outcomes.

Glucerna #StartsWithYou Campaign: Empowering Malaysians to Live Well with Diabetes

November 5, 2024November 5, 2024 dixonthum

I recently attended the launch of Abbott’s Glucerna® #StartsWithYou campaign in Kuala Lumpur, an eye-opening event that addressed the alarming rise of diabetes in Malaysia. With 3.6 million Malaysian adults, or 15.6% of the population, affected by diabetes, it’s clear that more awareness and support are essential. This campaign, launched ahead of Diabetes Awareness Month, empowers Malaysians to adopt healthier habits through balanced nutrition and lifestyle changes. From personal success stories to expert insights on diabetes care, here’s what I learned about managing diabetes effectively.

Key Diabetes Management Insights from Dr. Nina Mazera and Dr. Zanariah Hussein
Dr. Nina Mazera Mohd Said, Abbott’s nutrition medical director, shared concerning data on Malaysia’s diabetes rates, emphasizing how untreated diabetes can lead to severe health complications. Dr. Nina highlighted the Glucerna® Lifestyle Change Program (GLCP), which has helped many Malaysians better manage their diabetes. Through balanced nutrition and consistent physical activity, participants are seeing significant improvements in glucose levels and overall health. Her message was clear: adopting a healthier lifestyle makes managing diabetes achievable and sustainable.

Dr. Zanariah Hussein, head of the endocrine unit at Putrajaya Hospital, further discussed the importance of weight management for diabetes control in Malaysia. With high rates of obesity and overweight individuals among Malaysians with diabetes, the GLCP’s structured approach to balanced nutrition, exercise, and support provides essential guidance. Dr. Zanariah emphasized that comprehensive lifestyle changes, combined with the support of dietitians and doctors, can lead to meaningful improvements in diabetes control, weight management, and overall quality of life.

Success Story: Ainaa Munirah’s Journey with Glucerna® Lifestyle Change Program (GLCP)
One inspiring story was shared by Ainaa Munirah Pang, a chef who has been living with type 2 diabetes since the age of 27. Ainaa faces daily challenges to maintain stable glucose levels, especially in a work environment surrounded by tempting treats. However, through the Glucerna® Lifestyle Change Program, she achieved her target glucose levels. The program gave her access to expert support and a community of like-minded individuals. Ainaa’s experience is a testament to the power of structured lifestyle changes in diabetes management, demonstrating how proper nutrition, exercise, and guidance can make a significant impact.

An Overview of the Glucerna® Lifestyle Change Program (GLCP)
The Glucerna® Lifestyle Change Program (GLCP) is designed to support individuals with diabetes in managing their health through sustainable lifestyle changes. This four-week program combines personalized guidance on balanced nutrition, physical activity, and regular glucose monitoring, providing participants with the tools to maintain steady blood sugar levels. GLCP emphasizes the importance of a diabetes-specific nutrition plan, like incorporating Glucerna®, which is scientifically formulated to help control glucose spikes. Participants benefit from a supportive network, including expert advice from dietitians and doctors, as well as encouragement from peers who share similar health goals. Through these structured interventions, the GLCP empowers Malaysians with diabetes to take control of their health and make lasting positive changes.

Dietitian’s Guide to Diabetes: Indra Balaratnam’s Essential Nutrition Tips
At the event, dietitian Indra Balaratnam shared invaluable tips for those managing diabetes. She stressed the importance of mindful eating and making informed food choices, especially for people with diabetes. Indra recommended a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins to help manage blood glucose levels effectively. She suggested simple steps like smart snacking, meal planning, and cooking at home with natural ingredients. Following these nutrition guidelines can aid in maintaining steady glucose levels and promote overall well-being.

Small Changes for a Healthier Lifestyle: Taking Control of Diabetes
The Glucerna® #StartsWithYou campaign emphasizes that managing diabetes starts with small, consistent lifestyle changes. These include a balanced diet, regular exercise, and the use of diabetes-specific nutrition formulas like Glucerna® to help control blood sugar. Regular glucose monitoring is also essential for those with diabetes. For anyone looking to adopt healthier habits, these steps are crucial.

If you or someone you know is managing diabetes, consider following the Glucerna® Lifestyle Change Program’s approach to improve health and well-being. By making positive, everyday choices, we can tackle the rise of diabetes in Malaysia together.

The Glucerna® #StartsWithYou campaign invites individuals to share their personal experiences with diabetes management. Those who submit their stories to the Abbott Nutrition Careline (wecare@abbott.com) will receive a Glucerna® Wellness Pack.

Fitness After 40: Diet, Exercise, and Wellness for Men

October 22, 2024 dixonthum

As men age, especially after 40, maintaining fitness becomes increasingly important but more challenging. Factors like slowing metabolism, decreased testosterone levels, and changing lifestyle priorities can lead to weight gain, muscle loss, and declining mental and sexual health. However, with the right approach, men over 40 can stay in peak condition and enjoy a balanced, fulfilling life. Here’s a comprehensive guide covering essential aspects such as diet, workout routines, mental health, sexual health, and work-life balance for men above 40 years old.

1. Diet and Eating Habits for Men Over 40
A well-structured diet is key to fitness for men over 40. As metabolism slows down, men need fewer calories but more nutrient-dense food to maintain muscle mass and reduce fat. Incorporate lean proteins like chicken, fish, and legumes, which are essential for muscle repair and growth. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon and walnuts help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

Focus on fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to aid digestion and prevent weight gain. Reducing processed sugars and refined carbs is crucial, as these can lead to unwanted fat storage. A balanced diet with smaller, more frequent meals can help maintain energy levels throughout the day, while also improving metabolism.

Key Diet Tips

Increase lean protein intake
Prioritize vegetables and whole grains
Reduce sugar and refined carbs
Stay hydrated and limit alcohol intake

2. Workout and Exercise for Men in Their 40s
Staying active is essential for maintaining muscle mass, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. Men over 40 should focus on a combination of strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises. Strength training helps combat the natural decline in muscle mass and improves metabolism. Aim for exercises that target major muscle groups such as squats, deadlifts, push-ups, and pull-ups.

Cardiovascular exercise, such as jogging, swimming, or cycling, should be incorporated at least three times a week to promote heart health and fat burning. Flexibility and mobility exercises, like yoga or stretching, are critical for reducing injury risk and improving joint health.

Key Workout Tips

Strength train 2-3 times a week
Include cardio sessions 3-4 times a week
Incorporate flexibility exercises

3. Mental Health for Men Over 40
Mental health is often overlooked in fitness routines but becomes crucial after 40. Stress from work, family, and aging can lead to anxiety or depression. Prioritize mental well-being by engaging in activities that reduce stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness. Staying socially active and maintaining a good support system can also improve mental resilience. Getting enough sleep—ideally 7-8 hours per night—is essential for mental clarity, emotional stability, and physical recovery.

Key Mental Health Tips

Practice mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques
Maintain strong social connections
Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep per night

4. Sexual Health After 40
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, which can affect libido, energy levels, and sexual performance. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper diet, regular exercise, and stress management can help mitigate some of these effects. Pelvic floor exercises like Kegels can also improve sexual function.

If you experience significant changes, consider discussing your options with a healthcare provider. Treatments like testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or natural supplements can sometimes help, but it’s essential to approach this carefully under medical guidance.

Key Sexual Health Tips

Incorporate pelvic floor exercises
Manage stress and get enough sleep
Consult a doctor if issues arise

5. Work-Life Balance for Men Over 40
Achieving a healthy work-life balance is crucial for overall fitness and well-being. Men over 40 often face increased work pressure, family responsibilities, and limited personal time. Strive to create a balance that allows time for regular workouts, meal preparation, mental health activities, and family or social engagements.

Set boundaries at work, delegate tasks when possible, and prioritize self-care. Time management and maintaining a schedule that includes time for fitness and relaxation can prevent burnout and keep you focused on your health goals.

Key Work-Life Balance Tips

Set boundaries and manage your time effectively
Prioritize personal and family time
Make fitness a non-negotiable part of your routine

For men over 40, maintaining fitness goes beyond just hitting the gym. It’s a holistic approach that includes a nutrient-rich diet, a balanced workout routine, mental and sexual health management, and a sustainable work-life balance. By taking these steps, men can not only stay physically fit but also enhance their overall quality of life.

AmLife’s 10th Anniversary: The Launch of a CSR-Driven Rehabilitation and Regenerative Centre

August 28, 2024 dixonthum

On 26 August 2024, I had the privilege of attending a significant event in Bandar Kinrara, Selangor that not only celebrated a decade of dedication but also marked a major leap forward in the healthcare sector. AmLife International, a name synonymous with sleep health, commemorated its 10th anniversary with the launch of an innovative rehabilitation and regenerative centre, driven by a strong CSR ethos. This centre is designed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Malaysian seniors, especially those grappling with modern degenerative diseases like stroke.

Understanding the Urgency
As I listened to the speakers, I couldn’t help but reflect on the pressing issue of an aging population in Malaysia. The United Nations projects that by 2030, 15% of Malaysia’s population will be elderly. This demographic shift brings with it an increase in healthcare costs and a growing burden on society. Seniors today face a multitude of age-related issues, from muscle loss (Sarcopenia) to cardiovascular diseases and strokes. It’s staggering to learn that globally, 15 million people suffer from strokes annually, with Malaysia recording 50,000 new stroke cases each year. These statistics emphasize the need for urgent and effective healthcare interventions.

The Role of Quality Sleep
One of the key messages that resonated with me was the importance of quality sleep in preventing degenerative diseases. AmLife’s Founder and President, Mr. Lew Mun Yee, shared insights from their decade-long journey in sleep health education and solutions. He highlighted that sleep disorders could significantly impact cardiovascular health, thereby increasing the risk of stroke. It’s a sobering thought that stroke is not just an individual problem; it has far-reaching consequences, physically and financially, on families.

AmHope: A Beacon of Hope
The highlight of the event was the introduction of AmHope, a state-of-the-art rehabilitation and regenerative centre. With an investment of RM1.4 million, AmLife is taking a significant step towards helping seniors overcome the challenges posed by stroke and other physical health issues. The centre represents a beacon of hope, offering pioneering technology and therapies that could make a real difference in the lives of stroke survivors.

One of the standout features of AmHope is its focus on the critical 90-day golden window for stroke recovery. This period is crucial for brain recovery, and rehabilitation during this time can significantly increase the chances of full recovery. However, financial constraints often prevent patients from accessing timely care. AmLife’s solution? Offering substantial financial aid to stroke patients, making physiotherapy sessions available at just RM30 per session, compared to the normal market rate of RM150. This 80% financial relief extends to all treatments and equipment at the centre, embodying a charity-inspired model of care.

Advanced Technology for Stroke Prevention and Recovery
AmHope is equipped with cutting-edge technology to support stroke recovery and prevention. One such innovation is High Potential Hydrogen Therapy (HPHT), designed to reduce the chances of a second stroke. The centre also offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, known for accelerating healing processes for various conditions, including brain injuries. Additionally, AmLife’s signature Japanese patented Electric Potential Therapy recharges the body’s regenerative and cardiovascular abilities, making it ideal for immobile stroke patients.

A Comprehensive Approach to Stroke Recovery
The event also featured insights from Associate Professor Dr. Khoo Ching Soong of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, who emphasized the importance of the first 90 days following a stroke. This period is critical for intensive rehabilitation, which can help patients regain motor, speech, and cognitive functions. Dr. Khoo also introduced alternative therapies, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which can benefit a range of motor and cognitive outcomes after a stroke.

The Road Ahead
Stroke recovery is a challenging journey, but it’s heartening to know that with the right support, patients can regain significant function even years after the event. The statistics shared during the event were encouraging, with studies showing that active individuals have a much lower risk of stroke and stroke-related death. AmHope’s Director of Senior Care, Dr. Choo Hao Jian, emphasized the importance of staying active, not just for preventing stroke but for overall well-being. His advice for seniors and stroke survivors was clear: keep moving, stay active, and embrace rehabilitation to regain mobility and quality of life.

Final Thoughts
As I left the event, I felt inspired by the work AmLife is doing through AmHope. This centre is more than just a healthcare facility; it’s a lifeline for many who are facing the challenges of stroke and other degenerative diseases. If you or someone you know could benefit from these services, I highly recommend learning more about AmHope. You can find additional details on their website at www.amlife.com.my or www.AmHopeRehab.com

This event was a powerful reminder that with the right interventions, the story doesn’t have to end with a stroke. Instead, it can be the beginning of a new chapter, one where recovery and a return to a quality life are very much possible.
