MAKEOVER CHOICES AT JEFFERSON AND JS FASHION SQUARE AT PRANGIN MALL PENANG

For those who had frequent Penang’s Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak (KOMTAR) in the late 80’s (1987), you would have come across a humble little shop by the name of Jefferson Fashion Design. The shop was the in-trend during that era where endless streams of customers from the young as well as companies would seek them for their great cuts and quality custom-tailoring. I was also one of their patrons during that time, seeking the best customized formal wears during that period of time. Today, after almost 3 decades, the name JEFFERSON still stays strong amongst the old and the young in the fashion industry. Ever since the conversion from custom-tailoring to ready-to-wear concept since 2006, the brand JEFFERSON had expanded to 11 outlets nationwide (West & East Malaysia) and a subsidiary for women wear at JS Fashion Square, Prangin Mall, Penang. Not only will the men would be pampered with latest choice of apparels and accessories, the women too would almost get to have their own makeovers with the availability of state-of-the-art apparels ranging from casual, formal, sporty and evening wears. Of course, they won’t be shot of accessories for both the masculine and feminine sides of each individual.

So, what can you get from each of the JEFFERSON outlets? Nevertheless, each outlet is the one-stop makeover venue for the guys, with items ranging from formal shirt, slacks, dinner jackets, coats, bermudas, polo-T, jeans, T-shirts, refined bags, belts, head gears, and various other accessories to complete the masterpiece in you. Don’t be a bore with your usual fashion style and get a fashion makeover with the abundance choice of apparels available at JEFFERSON.

THE SIGNS OF A DETERIORATED BODY UPON THE SPARK OF MIDLIFE

Written by crizlai on Mar 12th, 2014 | Filed under: health, living, medical

OUCH! Without realizing the winks within the many blinks in your lifetime, you had finally hit the 40 sign. It’s a sign where your body clock began to show deteriorating symptoms of failing, mentally and physically. Medications, supplements, vitamins or even frequent visits to the doctors would become quite a routine in your life. So, are you prepared to face these situations with the right spirit? After all, no one can run away from the early signs of getting old. Through decades of wear and tear to your body parts, the first few signs would be the thinning of bones and cartilages, with related diseases namely osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteoarthritis, costochondritis and more. Most of time, these signs of deterioration might be due to the deficiency in certain body nutrients.

I guessed age did catch up with me all too soon and it did not spare me from the painful blows as well. Recently, I had regular headaches with lower back pains and stiffen chest muscles, combined with tingling numbness on most of my joints. I suspected it was just another work hazard symptom due to my long hours of sitting down without moving about. I used heat pads, went for body massages, applied therapeutic heat rubs and even consumed paracetamol and ibuprofen as painkillers. However, those were only some temporary relief methods. Moreover, taking too many of those painkillers neither would be good for my body in long runs nor would they be the best solutions to eradicate the source of my pains. What I thought was just a minor case of lumbago ended up with more piercing pains along the spines and more stiffen joints. Through my pulse oximeter, my heart was pumping at 120bpm which is above the norm of 70-90bpm. It felt like I was about to die due to a brutal stroke. Eventually, I forced myself to pay my family doctor a visit. Though I had a clean bill of health without any sign of diabetes, the outcome sounded quite devastating as I was diagnosed with a possible early stage of osteoarthritis, a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joint cartilages.

Through the years, I had somehow put my body joints on too much of mechanical stress during my athletic years and age had slowed down the self repair process. On top of being put on calcium supplements to strengthen my bones, I was also put on OsteSAMIN plus Chondroitin and MECOMIN to rebuild those self-repair deficiencies. The diet supplementary Glucosamine within the compound of the OsteSAMIN would help in influencing cartilage structure and alleviate arthritis while the added diet supplementary Chondroitin Sulphate, from animal cartilage sources, would help in strengthening weak bones, reduces high cholesterol, etc. MECOMIN contains Methylcobalamin, a neurologically-active form of vitamin B12. It helps to protect against neurological diseases and has the ability to regenerate damaged nerves in people, especially diabetics, with peripheral nerve damage.

Since undergoing the prescribed diet supplements, I barely encounter any acute attacks and can now move about freely to work on my projects with ease. It’s the best and simplest solution to osteoarthritis without the need to go through painful operations or collagen injections. These products can be easily accessible through major pharmacy counters throughout Malaysia.
