Fast and furious
Think about your day. Can you unearth a spare 20 minutes? Because though most health recommendations are for a half-hour workout daily, a concentrated 20 minutes can suffice quite nicely.

But naturally...
While we're on the subject of healthy eating, ThreeSixty is holding an organic farmers' market from now until June 17 at both its Elements and Landmark branches, where you can buy produce free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and genetic modification.

Attend to your knee needs
Talk about serendipity. A bottle of Life Chondroitin with MSM Plus (HK$299 for 60 tablets) landed on my table just as a dodgy knee was wreaking havoc on my summer jogging schedule.

Water babies, beware
As the weather starts to heat up again, we all look forward to swimming and lazing around on the beach. This is also the time that ear specialists get to see a lot more of "swimmer's ears" - an infection of the outer ear - which in medical jargon is called acute otitis externa.

Rose, rose, I love you
Wild roses and hand cream. What better pairing can you get?

Everyday affair
Sukin facial moisturizer (HK$95) works very well as part of the daily skin-care routine. As the organic formula is lightweight, the skin absorbs it quickly for almost instant hydration.

A nose for flying earaches
I had two patients who came to see me about ear pain after they flew back from their recent holidays.

Partners on the run
Birthdays are motivators. Last March, Tere Gathright was staring at 32. She had an unkind thought about herself. "I'm overweight and bored," the thought went. "I need a hobby. What better birthday present than to do something for me?"

Keep cancer at bay
When it comes to fighting cancer, the good news is that many kinds are subject to delay or avoidance by making smart lifestyle choices. Some of the behavioral tweaks recommended by a leading cancer doctor may surprise you.

Give some lip
As we age, our lips become thinner and lose their definition because our bodies produce less collagen. "Other than applying lip balm, fillers will be the best way to deal with these problems," said Dr Abraham Yam, a specialist in medical aesthetics.

Gently does it
If strong fragrances and chemicals make you break out in rashes, you need special care for your skin. Lavera's Neutral Facial Fluid (HK$179) is a light but hydrating organic moisturizer for skin that is prone to allergies and eczema.
