WELLBEING WELLNESS talk Keep fit with the latest in wellbeing trends in the city Meet Amir Siddiqui, founder of Symmetry Gym, one of Dubai’s most exclusive facilities for personal training. Here, the fitness expert answers topical questions to suit our busy lifestyles Q A What are the defining factors of a workout for those on a busy schedule? Everyone is different, but also, same in a way. This is something the fitness and weight loss industry simply don't understand, and cannot appreciate. They are driven purely by profit, while I am, by curiosity. So, I would first attempt to understand the person from the physical and psychical perspective, to see if obesity or any other weaknesses are a problem driven mostly by these issues. Both feed into each other and affect one another. An incredibly busy person with lots of travel, and challenges at work needs a plan that is simple, clear, and stable for long periods. Diet plays an important role too and is dictated almost purely, again, by psychology. Food, on the other hand, is all about mood. So, it is a rather complex process of search that needs to produce an answer simple enough that the client can pull it off. I have my own training methodology, Fission Fusion, which is my perceptual lens into client assessment and fitness problem-solving. The programme is based on over 15 years of research and experience, and includes a nutrition plan to suit individual needs. NOURISHING DETOX Bone broth is the latest trend touted to be one of the most healing foods out there. It usually comprises of grass-fed organic bones (chicken or beef) simmered with celery, carrots, ginger, fresh turmeric, thyme, rosemary, apple cider vinegar, Himalayan pink salt and whole peppercorns, in mineral water. The superfood is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, with healing compounds including collagen – to heal your gut lining and reduce intestinal inflammation – glutamine and glycine (an amino acid closely associated with the central nervous-and digestive-system). We put the three-day bone broth detox from Clean Living to the test, in the hope that we will get rid of the post festive-season bloat and sluggish metabolism. Here’s our review: Day 1: Three packs of chicken broth were delivered, as a fresh batch of beef broth was being cooked up for dispatch the following day. It tasted similar to chicken stock, yet a cleaner, tastier version with robust flavours. By the end of the day I was slightly hungry, and tucked into an orange for the closest thing to solid food, and to amp up on Vitamin C to beat a cold. Day 2: A full day of flavoursome beef bone broth – prefer this over chicken. Each 500ml pack is sectioned into two portions (250ml each). I did visit the lavatory quite a bit. But hey, that’s good, right? I also noticed doses of energy bursts. The broth was coupled with herbal tea and water, for hydration. Day 3: Woke up feeling incredibly lighter with my midsection less bloated. Got straight into work and submitted a feature without any distraction or breaks – complete focus. No hunger pangs kicked in and it felt great to keep the snacks at bay. I did need a cup of coffee to power through the afternoon, but was glad to be cleansed from the inside by the end of it - my body needed it, after months, maybe even years of overindulging. The verdict: Overall I felt less bloated with increased energy levels and focus. The fact that it heals the gut and makes way for weight-loss (with a proper diet and exercise routine) and increased metabolism, makes it a superfood far better than the rest, in my opinion. While I may attempt the three-day detox once every few months – the 21-day challenge is a bit too extreme for me – I’ll definitely carry on with the individual packs as a daily supplement to meals, for overall well-being. Besides, it’s perfect for the weather, wholesome and nurturing. Place your order: The three-day detox is available for Dhs399, inclusive of nine pouches. Visit cleanlivingcompany.ae 38 EQUITY
