CHOOSE BLACK GARLIC
LOOSE WHITE GARLIC
Shown to reduce blood pressure while
packing twice the immune boosting
antioxidant content of its paler
counterpart, black garlic also promises
to leave no trace of bad breath.
BOOST YOUR FIVE-A-DAY
TURMERIC-TASTIC Known for its
anti- inflammatory properties, turmeric
also helps detox the liver and boost the
immune system. It particularly goes well
with carrot and orange. Push 2 carrots,
3 peeled oranges and a knob of ginger
through the juicer. Stir in 1/4 tsp ground
turmeric and serve.
BEAUTY MYTH
RINSING YOUR HAIR WITH COCA
COLA MAKES IT THICKER
Coca-Cola makes hair look shinier
as it is acidic (so closes the cuticle).
Other ingredients like high fructose
corn syrup would make the hair
sticky and gritty. It won’t actually
clean the hair or scalp. Also@regular
cola-rinsing@may@cause the shaft to
become brittle.

YOU MUST TRY...
Kettlebell Connect is the world’s first
smart kettlebell by Jaxjox.
Creating a solid home gym is tricky,
particularly when you lack an extra
room to devote to your fitness pursuits
or simply live in a small apartment. The
magical JaxJox kettlebell may be the answer @
with six kettlebells in one.
What is it? Within a single piece of equipment, you
get a weight range from 5 to 20 kilos. Five weights
are stacked on a base plate with a hollow kettlebell
covering them. Selecting one of six weight options on
the LCD display causes the bell to pick up or drop the
appropriate number of weights.
How does it work? The kettlebell cycles through the
weight options with a gentle whirr, and integrates
itself into circuits easily, even as they get harder.
You replace the kettlebell on the base, press the plus
button, wait three seconds for a beep, then pick it up
again and it’s heavier.
The upside? Good kettle bells are expensive and take
up space. This is a great way of having a variety of
weights in your small flat or cabin.. Plus it’s visually
clean, yet advanced letting you know how long you
train, it also sends ‘personalised workout insights’ via
the Jaxjox app.
The down side? The heart-pumpingly prohibitive
expense at 350 Euros for one.
