Sweets are very tempting especially for diabetic patients who must limit their sugar intake. Gerry Chua, owner of Eng Bee Tin has formulated sweet concoctions which can be enjoyed by people with diabetes and even those who want to cut back on their sugar intake.

Eng Bee Tin is popular for their assortment of hopia and tikoy. Instead of depriving diabetic patients and the health conscious, Chua prepared a line-up of light hopia and tikoy which taste very much like the original products but have low glycemic index.

Hopia Mongo Lite still contains the same smooth mung bean filling inside plus the sesame seeds which adds crunch to the ordinary hopia.

Indulge in Hopia Mongo Lite, Tikoy Lite and Ube Tikoy Lite, without worrying about your sugar count. Eng Bee Tin products are locally available in various supermarkets, groceries, and restaurants nationwide. The company also exports products to other countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.

Eight glasses of water a day may not be enough for active individuals, especially athletes. After a strenuous workout or competition, the body’s level of electrolytes, sugar and other nutrients can be depleted – leading to dehydration.

To avoid dehydration, experts advise regular intake of fluids. In some cases, consuming lots of water may not be advisable since it actually decreases the levels of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium in the body. This can interfere with the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Aktivade is formulated to replenish the level of electrolytes, sugar, water, and other nutrients in the body which are lost due to prolonged physical exertion. It also contains 48 mg of Vitamin C per bottle with less sodium and more potassium and comes in a 473 ml bottle. It is available at all leading supermarkets, drugstores, convenience stores, groceries and sports centers.
