< Previous/ ISSUE_24 20 YOUR HEALTHY SENSE Dining review PAII AT THE HOUSE ON SATHORN 106 North Sathorn Road, Silom, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500 T: +66(0)2 344 4025 IG: paii.bangkok W: www.paiibangkok.com PALATABLE PAII • Inside The House on Sathorn. For a sublime and indulgent Thai meal, The House on Sathorn now serves the finest seafood withuncompromising Thai flavours inside an exquisite 130-year-old house. The name of this new dining space is Paii, which is derived from a Thai word meaning “paddling”, and a gentle tribute to the founder of the house Luang Sathorn Rajayutka, who was also the benefactor of Sathorn Canal. Seafood is sourced from both local and overseas markets in order to find the perfect produce for each dish, then cooked and presented in modern Thai style. To trigger your appetite, we recommended Larb Nuad Pla Mhuek Yak Yang (THB 1,200) or soft charcoal-grilled Spanish octopus dressed with mint, ground roasted rice and lime juice in the style of larb, served with a spicy dipping sauce. For sharing is Khao Pad Poo (THB 2,200) or stir-fried rice with crab meat. It may be a commonly-found dish, but at Paii it becomes indulgent as it is crammed with 500 grams of giant crab meat. Your taste buds will be very satisfied with the rich seafood flavour mixed with chewy brown rice and organic egg. / ISSUE_24 21 (1) Famous Poo Ob Klone. (2) Larb Nuad Pla Mhuek Yak Yang. (3) Nuea Yang Suea Rong Hai. (4) Khao Pad Poo. (5) Choo Chee Goong Mae Nam. Another talk-of-the-town dish here is Poo Ob Klone (THB 3,600) or 1 kg. of giant mud crab from Samut Songkram baked in natural clay with Thai herbs. The crab meat remains fragrant and super-tender thanks to the clay technique, and when savoured together with the freshly-made seafood dipping sauce, is sublime. Choo Chee Goong Mae Nam (THB 1,950) is a plate crowded with two huge grilled river prawns topped with a mild choo chee sauce. The prawn head works splendidly with this sauce. If you are looking for a dish that is not seafood, the Nuea Yang Suea Rong Hai (THB 1,200) is a must. This beef steak is masterfully grilled on charcoal to offer the ultimate taste, with or without a sauce. There is much more seafood par excellence to be discovered at Paii, which is open for both lunch and dinner. 1 2 4 5 3/ ISSUE_24 22 YOUR HEALTHY SENSE Compilation of new eateries With its minimalist, curved-edge coffee counter, this coffee bar was established by a small group of Thai designers and serves specialty blends using selected coffee beans from Chiang Rai and Laos.

Presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Chicago, Illinois, the research found that high doses of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) had a 25% relative risk reduction of adverse cardiovascular events in participants taking a daily dose of 4g of EPA, in addition to statins. The study found this significant decrease in relative risk regardless of age or triglyceride level, with results labelled as ‘amazing’ at the conference. Dr. Colquhoun, a cardiologist at Wesley and Greenslopes Hospitals and Board Member of the Australian Heart Foundation, added: “This breakthrough trial has shown how a safe, and relatively affordable, well-tolerated therapy can have a substantial impact on public health. The importance of dose cannot be underestimated when considering the therapeutic benefits. The Omega-3 Index is a useful measure to determine if individuals have optimal levels of omega-3, and if they do not, higher doses are often required".

Come again another day.” This song may be a children’s favourite, but the rainy season is certainly not everyone’s favourite time of the year. Some people like rain and its incredibly romantic effects, such as rainbows and the special scent that it brings, but many people see it as an inconvenience causing traffic jams, flooding and diseases. The rainy season in Thailand usually lasts from May/June until October. Some diseases are brought with rain, but in many other cases that is just a myth. Let’s look at the most common diseases that occur during the rainy season. / ISSUE_24 25 The lower temperature and higher humidity of the rainy season does promote the growth of viruses and bacteria, and therefore there are more incidences of infectious diseases during this season – especially in immunocompromised hosts such as small children and the elderly. The Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, has announced the five most common contagious disease groups that come with the rain as follows: 1. Gastrointestinal tract infections: diarrhoea, food poisoning, typhoid, dysentery, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. 2. Respiratory tract infections: flu, common cold, bronchitis and pneumonitis. 3. Mosquito-borne diseases: dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis and malaria. 4. Infectious disease through wound: Leptospirosis. 5. Eye infection: conjunctivitis. Gastrointestinal tract infections Symptoms of gastrointestinal tract infections include diarrhoea, upset stomach, nausea, vomit, headache, fever, body aches, stomach cramp, fatigue, dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes in the blood. It can be prevented by avoiding unhygienic food, cooking food properly, drinking clean boiled water and washing hands before eating. Respiratory tract infections The common cold is caused by a virus which spreads through tiny air droplets from sneezes, coughs or nose-blowing by the infected people. You can catch a cold easily by breathing in those droplets or by touching your eyes, nose or mouth after touching something contaminated with the virus. This is the most common and frequent infection during the rainy and winter seasons, especially in children. Cold symptoms regularly affect the nose such as nasal congestion, a runny nose and sneezing, and some people may have a scratchy throat, sore throat, cough, headache, muscle aches and a fever which will go away within a week with no treatment required. Influenza (flu) is different from the common cold. The onset of flu symptoms is more abrupt than a cold. Typically, flu comes with a fever, while people who catch a cold will also get a fever only in some cases. People with flu often have these symptoms: cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Children may have vomiting and diarrhoea. It takes longer to recover from a flu than a cold, but usually it will not last more than two weeks. Flu complications include pneumonia and sinusitis, and you should therefore go to consult a doctor if you think you have a serious flu. The high-risk groups for developing flu complications are seniors (65 years and more), pregnant women, children younger than five years, and people with certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease. These groups should consider getting a flu vaccination every year./ ISSUE_24 26 YOUR HEALTHY BRAIN In the know Data from the National Disease Surveillance System reveals that in this year, up to June 2019, there have been 14,292 cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) already. The incidence of this disease is likely to increase during the rainy season. Typical symptoms usually begin with fever and painful mouth sores, followed by a skin rash on palms and soles. These rashes could also be find on the knees, elbows and buttocks. A HFMD patient usually recovers within 7-10 days with plenty of rest and symptomatic treatment. Severe and fatal complications can be found, but are uncommon. The most important way to prevent an epidemic of HFMD in nurseries, childcare centres and kindergartens is by screening children for symptoms, keeping sick children at home, and encouraging children to wash their hands every time after using the toilet and before every meal. 2 Mosquito-borne diseases Evidence from a research paper has shown that dengue transmission is the greatest when the temperature is 28.9°C, and that the highest incidences of dengue occur in August – after the reproduction of mosquitos has reached its peak in the month of June. The reason that dengue infection rate is high in the rainy season is because rainfall provides places for the mosquitoes to lay their eggs which can develop to adult stage, and the suitable temperature.3 You can avoid mosquito bites by avoiding being outdoors, and wearing protective clothing and insect repellent when going outdoors. Reduce mosquito-breeding in your home by not letting water go stagnant and still, covering water containers with a lid, dumping out buckets, putting small fish in a small pond or vat, decluttering and changing the water in any small containers, such as a vase, at least once every seven days.

Polwiang S. The seasonal reproduction number of dengue fever: impacts of climate on transmission. PeerJ. 2015; 3: e1069. Leptospirosis The bacteria that causes this disease can pass from animals (such as cattle, pigs, horses, dogs, rodents and wild animals) to humans when a skin wound comes in contact with water or soil that is contaminated with animal urine. The symptoms of Leptospirosis in humans are high fever, headache, chills, muscle aches (especially in the calves and thighs), vomiting, jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), red eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and rah. Since many of these symptoms are fairly common, it could thus be mistaken for another disease – and many patients may have not have symptoms at all. You need to be diagnosed and treated if you have this disease because, without medical treatment, recovery may take several months or may be fatal if it progresses to the kidney, or causes liver failure or meningitis. Conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis, or “pink eye”, happens when the conjunctiva, a clear tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the white of the eye, becomes swollen or inflamed. It is caused by a virus or bacteria and mostly occurs during the rainy season. Pink eye can be treated with the right medicine prescribed by a doctor. If you get pink eye, stay home to reduce spreading the infection to others. Do not share clothing, washcloths or towels with anyone, and keep cleaning hands to prevent spreading the germs. No matter if you like the rain or not, rain is an important part of the water cycle of the globe, and every living form on Earth needs water. Although we cannot avoid rain from pouring down, we can prevent ourselves from catching rainy season illnesses by always maintaining good hygiene, getting enough sleep, eating clean food and drink, and staying dry and warm. / ISSUE_24 28 YOUR HEALTHY BODY Longevity CHECK SYMPTOM OF “FOOD INTOLERANCE”, SILENCE DANGER THAT SHOULD BEWARE Do you believe that health problem happens to everybody? Although, we have appropriate living, as regular exercise or good food eating, it could not be guaranteed due to many body limitations. Interestingly, health problems cause by eating in daily life that lead to “Food Allergy”/ ISSUE_24 29 A few years ago, trend of healthy lover is coming, new generations supposed to be good living and eat good food that affects to change consumption, such as organic fruit eating and avoidance of antibiotic meat eating. Even though the ingredient and cooking are safe, how we believe that ingredient will not affect to our health because everybody can allergy food. Therefore, if we regularly eat, it unconsciously affects to our body. Food allergy is divided to two types are….. 1. Suddenly Allergy: There are immediately and aggressive allergic, after eating food, such as rash, urticaria, itchy on body, mouth swell, difficulty breathing 2. Hidden Allergy: There are not immediately allergic, and it is hidden symptom that is difficult to diagnose. Cause of Food Intolerance Food Intolerance may be cause by the heredity that the body has immune systems for some substances, or we often eat the same food for long time as days or months until body has IgG4 immune systems building to that type of foods, because body has food classification to be foreign body and must be removed that affects to some tissues destruction and abnormal organ function. These may lead to Leaky Gut Syndrome. However, this syndrome may be not happening because leak occurs in cell that absorbs nutrient from the small intestine. Small intestine absorbs toxin or incomplete digest food and food is excreted from the body. Normally, cell of this part is closely aligned when there is Leaky Gut Syndrome and intestinal epithelial cells will swell that affect to tight junctions’ space. This space allows toxin and incomplete digest food to circulatory system, and there are causing various inflammatory problems and stimulating allergic reactions within body. Symptom of Food Intolerance If we said to general food allergic, we often think of itching, rash, and suffocation but symptom of food intolerance is not aggressive. Sometimes, we may be familiar with these symptoms and we are unexpectedly cause of food intolerance, such as….. • Abdominal pain and bloating Symptom: Pain, feeling uncomfortable is because of gas in the stomach. Some people have constipation or diarrhea. • Chronic headache and migraine Symptom: Unilateral headache and there are rhythmic pain and more, when moving the body. • Coughing, sneezing, rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, and nasal congestion Symptom: Frequent sneezing, runny nose or regular nasal congestion and feeling tight in one nose or both sides. • Feel feverish and unwell Symptom: Feeling cold like a fever, muscle and joint pain. • Some skin symptoms, such as acne, hives, rashes, skin swelling, skin edema, hair loss, thin hair, easy bruising Symptom: There red rash or red blotches, convex blisters, clear water on the skin and itching with unknow cause. • Depressed mood and variability Symptom: Fast and unusual mood swings. There is a depressive mood, alternating with the better mood that is usual. • Easy weight Symptom: Body is swelling and gaining weight, despite of normally eating.Next >
