By AOKLINIK Clinical Dietitian & Longevity Team We Malaysians, whether we start the day with nasi lemak  or roti canai , almost always have a loaf of bread at home. Right? Bread is the second staple food after rice! But when standing in front of the bread shelf at the supermarket, we often get overwhelmed. There's regular White Bread, Wholemeal, High Fibre, Multigrain, Canadian Purple Wheat, so many types! As a Dietitian who focuses not only on weight management, but also in

By AOKLINIK Clinical Dietitian & Longevity Team In Malaysia, we are masters of balance: balancing traffic jams with Teh Tarik breaks, and balancing intense work with necessary lepak (relaxing) time. But when it comes to health, many of us struggle to balance our love for delicious food and comfortable living with the discipline needed for true longevity. We all want to age gracefully, stay healthy, and keep playing with our grandchildren without knee pain. Here at AOKLINIK, w

By AOKLINIK  Clinical Dietitian and Longevity Team If you’ve noticed hair thinning, especially along the temples or the crown, you might blame your daily helmet or cap. But friction and heat are rarely the root cause.

When you are deficient in key vitamins, your hair quality drops, leading t

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has become a buzzword in the beauty and aesthetics industry, often marketed as a non-surgical facelift with promises of skin tightening, lifting, and collagen regeneration. However, not all HIFU machines are created equal and more importantly, not all are legally allowed to make medical or clinical claims. If you're considering a HIFU treatment in Malaysia, here’s what you need to know to protect your skin, your safety, and your invest

By AOKLINIK Clinical Dietitian and Longevity Team Your home is your first line of defense, but let's be honest: that pile of clothes on the chair and the dusty corners are silent sources of stress and inflammation, draining your energy faster than a hot afternoon jam  (traffic jam). After a long day of work and traffic, the best feeling is finally stepping through your front door. Your home shouldn't just be a place to sleep; it should be your sanctuary, a comfortable, safe

If you grew up in Malaysia, chances are your day starts with a plate of nasi lemak, a cup of teh tarik, or maybe a comforting bowl of koey teow th’ng. Delicious? Absolutely. But here’s the catch! Many of our well-loved local foods are quietly contributing to a rise in blood sugar iss

Weight loss is often seen as a matter of “eat less, move more.” But if it were truly that simple, obesity wouldn’t be one of the most challenging health issues worldwide.
