Say "NO" to the Dad Bod Don’t Let the “Dad Bod” Fool You: The Hidden Dangers of Belly Fat in Men Have you noticed your dad developing a “beer belly”? Is it really from drinking too much beer—or is there more to the story? The term “Dad Bod” has become a lighthearted way to describe middle-aged men with soft bellies and a laid-back attitude. But while the name may sound harmless or even endearing, the truth behind the belly can be a serious health concern.   Abdominal Obesity: The Reality in Malaysia According to the 2023 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS): The rate of abdominal obesity among Malaysian adults rose from 45.4% in 2011 to 54.5% in 2023. For men, a waist circumference over 90 cm is considered abdominal obesity—making middle-aged men a high-risk group. Belly fat often coexists with the “three highs”: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, which are major risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Malaysia. Why Do Men Get Belly Fat More Easily?   Hormonal Differences Men naturally have higher testosterone levels, which tend to drive fat storage toward the abdomen, unlike women who store more in the hips and thighs. Testosterone Drops After 40 As men age, testosterone decreases—leading to more visceral fat and a growing belly. Sedentary Lifestyle NHMS 2023 reports that over 50% of adults sit for more than 2 hours per day, and 84% rarely exercise. Poor Sleep & High Stress More than a third of adults suffer from sleep deprivation, and chronic stress contributes to weight gain and abdominal fat. Unhealthy Eating Habits 95.1% of Malaysian adults do not meet daily fruit and vegetable intake. High intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and processed food is common. Western-style diets are linked to faster weight gain and belly fat accumulation. What Are the Health Risks of Belly Fat? Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of conditions including insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and unhealthy cholesterol levels. Increased Risk of Heart Disease & Stroke: Larger waistlines are strongly associated with cardiovascular risks. Higher Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Closely linked to visceral fat and high waist circumference. Chronic Inflammation: Fat cells release inflammatory substances that disrupt immunity and increase disease risk.   How to Beat the “Dad Bod” – 3 Steps to Better Health 1. Exercise: Not Much, But Consistently Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week. Include core and resistance training 2+ times a week. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is especially effective in burning belly fat. 2. Eat Smarter, Cut the Junk Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and fatty fish (Omega-3 supports fat metabolism). Reduce sugary drinks and fast food—a key step in reducing insulin resistance and belly fat. Add a daily cup of Stolle ImmNuPlus and Vigor Plus to support inflammation control and immune health. 3. Sleep & Stress Management Get at least 7 hours of sleep per night. Poor sleep is strongly linked to abdominal obesity. Practice stress-reducing activities to prevent emotional eating.   This Father’s Day, Go Beyond “I Love You” Support your dad’s health by helping him fight the hidden dangers of the “Dad Bod”. A daily health routine with Stolle ImmNuPlus Immune Milk and CoCurVital Turmeric Drink can provide natural support for the immune system, inflammation, liver health, and overall vitality. Because real love is about showing you care—even when he doesn’t ask.

  Why Are Children Always Getting Allergies? The Problem Is More Common Than You Think In today’s increasingly urbanized and polluted environments, more and more parents find their children suffering from recurrent allergic reactions. From skin rashes and eczema to sneezing, runny noses, and even food intolerances, allergies have become a common concern for modern families. According to reports by the World Allergy Organization (WAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO): 1 in every 3 children globally suffers from some form of allergic disease. In Malaysia, the prevalence of allergies among children exceeds 35%, with the most common types including skin allergies (such as eczema), respiratory allergies (like allergic rhinitis), and food allergies (such as intolerance to milk, wheat, etc.). These conditions not only place a burden on family care but also affect children's learning, sleep, and social development. Why Are Children Prone to Allergies? It’s All About Immune Balance and Maturity Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to substances that are actually harmless. When the immune system mistakenly identifies particles like dust mites, pollen, or certain proteins as threats, it triggers an inflammatory response that results in symptoms like redness, swelling, and sneezing. Children are especially vulnerable as their immune systems are still developing and can easily become imbalanced due to factors such as: Lack of exclusive breastfeeding in infancy Early exposure to antibiotics Imbalanced gut microbiota Deficiencies in vitamin D, zinc, and other immune nutrients A family history of allergic or asthmatic conditions So, it’s not that the child is inherently weak — rather, the immune system is either immature or disrupted, causing it to misfire. How to Improve? Start with Daily Immune Balance To effectively manage allergies and reduce their frequency, the key lies in regulating and supporting the immune system in the long term. Experts recommend the following approaches: 1. Balanced Diet to Strengthen Natural Defenses Foods rich in vitamins C, E, polyphenols, and dietary fiber (like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) help with antioxidant protection, gut health, and lowering the risk of allergic reactions. 2. Regular Sunlight and Physical Activity Outdoor play helps stimulate natural vitamin D production, which enhances immune cell function and lowers the likelihood of allergic and asthmatic responses. 3. Supplement Key Nutrients Probiotics, vitamin D, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids have been shown in numerous studies to regulate immune responses and reduce allergy symptoms. 4. Drink Functional Immune Nutrition Milk (e.g., STOLLE Immune Milk) Unlike regular milk, STOLLE Immune Milk  which rich in patented immunonutrients including: Immunoglobulins (IgG): Help recognize and neutralize harmful substances Anti-inflammatory factors: Regulate immune responses and reduce allergy symptoms Lactoferrin: Supports gut and immune balance with antimicrobial properties Multiple international studies have shown that children who regularly drink STOLLE Immune Milk experience improved immune recognition and lower allergy rates, with reduced symptom severity. Summary: Allergies Are Not Inevitable — Immunity Is the Key A child’s constitution can be developed. Even those with allergic tendencies can improve with long-term immune support. With the right methods — from nutrition and daily routines to functional health beverages — parents can help their children build a more stable, resilient, and less reactive immune system. Allergies don't have to be a life sentence. A stronger immune foundation means fewer flare-ups and a happier, more energetic childhood. Start with one scientifically supported choice — STOLLE Immune Milk — and give your child the health foundation they deserve.

  For new mothers, postpartum recovery goes beyond physical healing. A strong immune system is the true foundation for full recovery and long-term health — not just for mom, but for her baby as well. During pregnancy, a mother’s immune system naturally shifts into a tolerant state to protect the growing baby. This means certain immune responses are temporarily suppressed to avoid attacking the fetus that is genetically different from the mother. After childbirth, this "immunosuppressed" state begins to reverse. The immune system reactivates, meaning it returns to its normal level of alertness and begins adjusting to the body's new demands, such as tissue repair, lactation, and hormonal shifts. However, this transition doesn’t happen overnight. This reactivation period can be unpredictable and imbalanced, leaving mothers in a vulnerable window where the immune system is not yet fully stable: Fatigue, mood swings, and hormonal changes are common. Risk of infections (e.g., colds, UTIs, mastitis) is higher. Slower healing from childbirth or cesarean wounds. Immune responses may overreact, causing inflammation or delayed recovery. In fact, clinical studies suggest it may take 4 to 6 months for postpartum immune function to stabilize, especially without proper nutrition or rest.   How to Support Immunity and Recovery After Birth A strong immune foundation helps mothers feel more energised, resist illness, and recover faster. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Strengthen Nutrition with Stolle ImmNuPlus Stolle ImmNuPlus is specially formulated to support immunity and recovery: ·       Rich in immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, which actively enhance immune function, helping the body fight off viruses and bacteria.

Supporting your immune system is not just about avoiding illness; it’s about giving yourself the strength to recover, care, and thrive. This Mother’s Day, give yourself or a loved one the most thoughtful gift: Stolle ImmNuPlus — the science-backed way to support postpartum recovery from the inside out.

  Is Your Immune System "Slacking Off"? Beware of Illness! Our immune system is like a loyal army, always protecting the body from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. However, this army doesn’t always work at full capacity—sometimes, it “slacks off,” weakening our defenses and giving diseases a chance to strike. The immune system’s primary job is to recognize and eliminate invading pathogens while clearing abnormal cells in the body to maintain overall health. It relies on white blood cells, antibodies, lymphoid organs (such as lymph nodes and the spleen), and immune signaling molecules to work together. Once a threat is detected, the immune system quickly responds and launches an attack. A healthy immune system effectively fights off colds, flu, and even helps prevent certain cancers. It also has a "memory"—it remembers past pathogens so that when they attack again, the immune system can respond faster. Vaccinations, for example, leverage this memory function to prevent diseases. When Does the Immune System “Slack Off”? Although the immune system is our body’s guardian, it doesn't always stay in peak condition. Certain factors can put it into a low-efficiency mode or even cause it to “slack off,” leading to weakened immunity. These include: 1️⃣ Chronic Stress & Fatigue Prolonged stress or lack of sleep causes excessive cortisol production, which suppresses immune function, making the body more vulnerable to infections. 2️⃣ Poor Nutrition The immune system depends on balanced nutrition to function. A deficiency in protein, vitamin C, vitamin D, or zinc can reduce immune cell activity, making it easier for pathogens to invade. 3️⃣ Sedentary Lifestyle & Lack of Exercise Moderate exercise enhances immune function, but prolonged inactivity can lower white blood cell activity, weakening immune responses and increasing infection risks. 4️⃣ Unhealthy Habits (Smoking & Excessive Alcohol Consumption) Toxins in tobacco damage the respiratory tract’s defenses, allowing pathogens to enter more easily. Excessive alcohol consumption impairs white blood cell function, weakening immunity. 5️⃣ Aging As we age, the immune response slows down, and the number of T cells (which kill pathogens) decreases, making older adults more susceptible to infections. 6️⃣ Long-Term Use of Antibiotics or Immunosuppressants Overuse of antibiotics disrupts gut microbiota balance, while long-term use of immunosuppressants (such as steroids) directly suppresses immune function, increasing infection risk. What Happens When the Immune System is Weak? When the immune system remains in a low-efficiency state for too long, the body may experience: ⚠️ Frequent Infections – Persistent colds, recurring infections, and even severe illnesses like pneumonia or urinary tract infections. ⚠️ Slow Wound Healing – The immune system plays a role in tissue repair, so weakened immunity can slow recovery and increase the risk of infection. ⚠️ Chronic Inflammation – A sluggish immune system may lead to chronic inflammation, increasing the risk of conditions such as arthritis, allergies, and even cancer. ⚠️ Gut Issues – Immunity is closely linked to gut health; a weak immune system can disrupt gut microbiota, causing digestive issues like indigestion and diarrhea. How to Keep Your Immune System Strong? To ensure your immune system functions optimally, follow these steps: ✅ Eat a Nutritious Diet – Consume foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, high-quality proteins (fish, eggs), and fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi). ✅ Maintain a Regular Sleep Schedule – Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night, as sleep deprivation weakens immune defenses. ✅ Exercise Regularly – Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, yoga, or swimming. ✅ Manage Stress – Reduce stress through meditation, reading, or listening to music to prevent chronic anxiety and tension. ✅ Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol Consumption – Reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking can help strengthen the immune system. ✅ Drink Stolle Immune Milk – Stolle ImmNuPlus is rich in immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, which actively enhance immune function, helping the body fight off viruses and bacteria. When immunity drops, consuming Stolle Immune Milk daily can assist in replenish essential nutrients, improving overall resistance—especially beneficial for individuals prone to digestive issues or frequent colds. Final Thoughts: Don’t Let Your Immune System “Slack Off”! Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense, but various factors can weaken it, allowing diseases to take hold. By maintaining a nutritious diet, a regular sleep schedule, an active lifestyle, and healthy habits, you can keep your immune system in top shape and ensure it protects your health. 💪✨ Start building better habits today and boost your immunity!

  Rejuvenate your body with detoxification during CNY! How to Protect Your Liver During Chinese New Year Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions and festive celebrations, but amidst the joyous feasting, your liver may silently be under immense pressure. Post-festival health check-ups often reveal abnormal liver functions or increased liver strain in many individuals. These issues are closely related to irregular eating habits and lifestyle during the celebrations. What factors impact liver health during Chinese New Year, and how can we protect it? Major Sources of Liver Stress During Chinese New Year 1.    High-Fat, High-Calorie Diet The New Year offers a variety of delicacies like pineapple tarts, dried meat, shrimp crackers, and festive dishes. These foods are often high in fat and sugar, which, when consumed excessively, increase the risk of fat accumulation in the liver, potentially leading to fatty liver disease. 2.    Excessive Alcohol Consumption Alcohol consumption spikes during festive gatherings. While drinking can elevate the celebratory atmosphere, it directly damages liver cells. Chronic excessive drinking can lead to alcoholic hepatitis or even liver cirrhosis. 3.    Late Nights and Stress Late-night entertainment, such as playing mahjong or attending supper gatherings, deprives the liver of adequate rest. Additionally, the stress of preparing for the festivities and financial burdens may further increase the metabolic strain on the liver. 4.    Lack of Exercise Many people become sedentary during the holiday, busy with visiting relatives and attending gatherings. This lack of physical activity slows down metabolism and blood circulation, reducing the liver’s detoxification efficiency. According to a report by Malaysia's Ministry of Health, the number of cases showing abnormal liver function in health check-ups increases by 20%-30% in the one to two months following Chinese New Year. Fatty liver and alcohol-related liver damage are the most common issues, highlighting the significant impact of unhealthy festive habits on liver health. Here are some simple but effective tips to keep your liver healthy during the festivities: 1.    Diet: Opt for Lighter, Balanced Meals o    Choose Healthy Foods: Limit high-fat and sugary foods, and include more fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, kale, and carrots. o    Practice Portion Control: Even during festive feasts, eat in moderation and avoid overeating. 2.    Alcohol: Limit or Avoid o    Reduce alcohol intake, especially on an empty stomach. Replace alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic options like green tea or lemon water. o    If drinking is unavoidable, limit intake to no more than two drinks per day for men and one drink for women (approximately 10 grams of alcohol). 3.    Maintain Regular Sleep Patterns o    Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep per day and avoid staying up late. The liver’s repair process peaks between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. o    If late nights are unavoidable, take short naps during the day to recover. 4.    Increase Physical Activity During Festivities o    Walk more during visits, such as personally delivering greetings to neighbors rather than sitting in the living room snacking. o    Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise daily, such as brisk walking or yoga, to improve blood circulation. 5.    Drink a Cup of Vigor Plus o    During the festive period, opt for liver-supporting beverages like Vigor Plus, which contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant with proven liver-protective properties. o    Vigor Plus is made with over 95% curcumin extract, enhanced with piperine and phospholipid technology for better absorption in the gut. Stolle wishes everyone a happy and healthy Lunar New Year! Let’s work together towards balanced immunity and optimal health!
