A matter of control
A crucial tool in controlling diabetes is being vigilant about what you eat. But, some experts say, you don't have to be a slave to the glycemic index or banish cake and ice cream forever.

Diabetic dos... and don'ts

Paying lip service
The Body Shop's popular Born Lippy is back. The lip balm with a tinge of color returns this year with five new lipsticks (HK$69) and four redesigned lip balms (HK$59) in flavors such as toffee, lychee, pomegranate and satsuma.

After-sun cocktail for skin
Sun damage doesn't stop after the sun goes down. To continue protecting skin after sun exposure, you need a product that can trap the free radicals that accumulate during the day.

Buzz off, mozzies
Having had dengue, I have to ensure I don't get it a second time as doctors warn the next attack will be more severe. To date, I have been staving off mosquitoes with insect repellent but it is a drag having to remember to respray it on every few hours.

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.

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.

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