The pandemic made us sit up and realize that mere sweeping and mopping is not enough to keep a house clean.

Do you know that there are places within our homes that could be insidiously harbouring numerous infections unknown to us? These are some places that you may have forgotten to clean.

The pandemic made us sit up and realize that mere sweeping and mopping is not enough to keep a house clean.

Do you know that there are places within our homes that could be insidiously harbouring numerous infections unknown to us? These are some places that you may have forgotten to clean.

1) Poor air conditioner system

When you fail to maintain your air conditioner, it collects high concentrations of dust, pollen, and mold. All of this can increase the risk of developing asthma, or even a respiratory tract infection. Also make sure to dust off the debris collecting around the air conditioner as it would stain the walls in the long run.

2) What is lurking behind your refrigerator and microwave?

Two areas often neglected in the kitchen are behind the refrigerator and the microwave. Sort of the out of sight, out of mind theory, right?

Lots of dust on the coils can cause a refrigerator to run inefficiently

Plus, the walls behind the refrigerator also need attention because if the area is damp, mold can grow on the walls. Look behind your microwave too! We’ll bet you didn’t realize the wall behind your microwave is also dusty with cobwebs.

Remember, these are the appliances you use to store and heat up your food. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, it will affect your health.

3) Clean your furniture

Light switches, door knobs, door bells, faucets, cupboard shelves, sofas, and kitchen countertops have been identified as surfaces that are touched most frequently.

These are inadvertently touched by family members and guests

before hands are sanitised and can harbour infections that can spread swiftly.

Also look at the walls behind your furniture pieces. You may be shocked at what you find clinging on it. Start vacuuming and get rid of that dirt today! 

4) Don’t forget to remove the debris from your blinds

During spring cleaning, it is often that the blinds are overlooked, until one day we realize they’re coated with dust, or they’ve gotten yellow and discolored from the sun. Whether they are wooden, fabric or plastics make sure to dust off those dirt as they would affect the cleanliness of your walls too.

5) If walls could speak, they’d tell you about the germs on them.

When we are indoors we are surrounded by the walls of our home, the largest indoor surface which could be a medium of transmission of viruses and bacteria. We may not realize it, but we often touch walls during our daily activities, making walls a top breeding ground for viruses and bacteria to lurk on!

Now with most of us spending our time indoors, it’s essential that we ensure our surroundings are well protected.

Therefore, choosing the right type of paint is important not only for its aesthetic function but also to foster an ideal indoor environment.

Good, quality sleep is the basic building block for better physical and mental health

Good, quality sleep is the basic building block for better physical and mental health

Good, quality sleep is the basic building block for better physical and mental health

Better sleep means faster body recovery for physically active people and those always on the move 
Most people overlook one key aspect in healthy living ie. getting a good night’s rest through quality sleep. It is a vital part of your balanced life to maintain not only physical health, but also the wellbeing of your mental and emotional state – more so if you are physically active or always on the go.

 

The profound consequences of poor sleep on your overall health include fatigue, aching body, weakened immunity, high blood pressure, risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, poor balance and more alarmingly – mental health! Sleep problems can lead to mental conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and poor concentration, as research suggests. In Malaysia, prevalence of mental health problem among people above 16 years old was 29.2%.

Are you putting your physical and mental health at risk?

In Malaysia, prevalence of mental health problem among people above 16 years old was 29.2%.

Restful sleep starts with the basics

When you sleep in an unnatural position or unsupported position, you risk twisting and straining your back, neck and shoulders. You could wake up to annoying body aches with stiffer and more strained conditions. It all boils down to a lack of good, quality sleep. The culprit could just be your mattress!

Whether you run, bike, swim or lift weights, or live a busy life always on the move, you need a good care to speed up your body’s recovery overnight. When you don’t feel comfortable with your mattress, it affects your quality of sleep. The good news is that some mattresses are specifically designed to address such issues with physically active and business people in mind – through breakthrough technology and support materials.

Choosing the right mattress means the world to your healthy wellbeing. How can you get it right? Start with the basics and your mattress is the best investment for a restful slumber. So, how do you know which mattress is best for you?

A useful rule of thumb is that the mattress needs to support your body in a neutral position – with your spine, buttocks, heels, shoulders and head supported in a proper alignment. You don’t want to aggravate your pressure points, which are the spots on your body where you feel the most pressure when lying down.

In addition to ergonomics and durability, a good mattress should also be able to promote the overall wellbeing of the body by giving you a recharged and revitalized experience following a good night’s sleep.

Wake up to a refreshed mind and energetic body everyday

Wondering how is that possible? Introducing the NEW Slumberland Far Infrared Ray (FIR) Vitalize mattress that recharges and revitalizes your body every time you sleep on it. The new addition to Slumberland’s FIR series features high-tech Bioceramic yarn – which is made of polyester filaments and fibres infused with ceramic minerals for optimum thermic capacity and light reflection, a precondition for FIR emission, in addition to thermal insulation, long freshness and consistent effectiveness.

Wake up to a refreshed mind and energetic body everyday

Wondering how is that possible? Introducing the NEW Slumberland Far Infrared Ray (FIR) Vitalize mattress that recharges and revitalizes your body every time you sleep on it. The new addition to Slumberland’s FIR series features high-tech Bioceramic yarn – which is made of polyester filaments and fibres infused with ceramic minerals for optimum thermic capacity and light reflection, a precondition for FIR emission, in addition to thermal insulation, long freshness and consistent effectiveness.

How can a Bioceramic mattress benefit the body with FIR?

The body uses four mechanisms of heat exchange to maintain homeostasis (a self-regulating process) ie. Conduction, Convection, Thermal Emission (transfer of heat via infrared waves), and Evaporation. About 60% of the body heat is lost through infrared transfer (the transfer of heat via infrared waves), which concerns the FIR emission under discussion.

The Bioceramic enhanced Slumberland Vitalize recycles the otherwise lost energy into Far Infrared Ray when high levels of FIR is released upon heat stimulation. These high levels of light in turn, penetrate the cutaneous and subcutaneous layers, and then interact with the water molecules together with the organic compounds present in the tissue. The returned energy in the form of FIR stimulates the human body’s microcirculatory system, strengthening the metabolism. This facilitates the relaxation of contracted muscles and increases blood flow, which means more nutrients, oxygen, white blood cells and antibodies are sent to our tissue, thereby helping the body make the most of its intended healing abilities.

6 key benefits of FIR

Improves Blood Circulation

The FIR emission from Slumberland Vitalize mattress enhances blood flow and improves the body’s basic metabolism. Moreover, the increase in white blood cells in the blood stream offers immunity boosting benefits, preventing you from falling sick easily.

Speeds up general metabolism

Metabolism refers to all the physical and chemical processes in the body that convert or use energy such as breathing, circulating blood, controlling body temperature, contracting muscles, digesting food and nutrients, eliminating waste, and functioning of the brain and nerves. As blood flow improves, so does your metabolism.

Relieves fatigue and tiredness

The ceramic minerals in the yarn absorb and reflect heat from the human body through FIR emission for added relaxation and improved blood circulation, resulting in better sleep even for shorter hours. This supports human body’s natural healing process through optimal heat regulation to speed up the body’s recovery from workout or muscle stiffness during sleep.

Promotes quality sleep

Additionally, Slumberland Vitalize mattress helps maintain the body temperature constant, reduces cold hands and feet during the night due to the high level of thermal insulation that Bioceramic offers – hence improving the overall quality sleep.

Relieves joint stiffness and muscle pains

In addition, FIR relieves nervous tension and relaxes auto-neuro muscles, paving the way for an optimum environment for healing. If you are active in sports, FIR makes connective tissue more flexible, therefore reducing muscle spasm while promoting muscle and workout recovery as you sleep.

Helps eliminate harmful positive ions

Most forms of pollution, toxic chemicals, pollen, mold, pet dander, and other harmful chemicals in the air all carry a positive electrical charge, making them positive ions. FIR is helpful for enhancing blood circulation and improving the body’s basic metabolism. When body is exposed to FIR energy, metabolic waste and toxins are more efficiently cleansed at the cellular level.

SELangkah Introduction

SELangkah Introduction

 

1.What is SELangkah?

SELangkah – “Langkah masuk dengan selamat”, or “Step in, safely”, is a public health initiative platform to ensure the health and safety of our people and community as businesses resume its operations during the time of COVID-19 pandemic.  

It is a free-for-use service that business may employ to assist in our nationwide contact-tracing initiative.

SELangkah is an automated entry registration system which will be set up at business premises using QR-codes. Each business premise will be given a unique QR code upon registration at www.selangkah.my and every patron of a business premise is encouraged to scan the code with their smartphones and submit limited information (name and phone number) to SELangkah. For further information on safeguarding your privacy, please refer to our Privacy Statement.

2. What do you need to in order to use SELangkah?

For business premise owners, all you need to do is register on SELangkah and receive a unique QR code for the specified premise. 

You will be required to print the QR code and display it where patrons or customers can easily see and scan before entry to your premises. If your company has multiple branches / premises, each branch should have its own QR code.

On how to self-print your QR code, please refer to www.selangkah.my.

For patrons and customers, all you need to do is scan the QR code with your mobile phone and submit your information when prompted. For further information on safeguarding your privacy, please refer to our Privacy Statement.

3. How will SELangkah assist in contact tracing?

Once a patron has been discovered to have been infected with COVID-19, the relevant public health authorities such as State Health Department can rapidly identify other patrons who have visited these areas to inform them that they have been exposed to the infected person.

Once identified, tests can be carried out quicker on others who have registered with SELangkah and visited the same business premise as an infected person. This will reduce the spreading rate of COVID-19, while also enabling the process of premise disinfection to be expedited.

4. Is this a new technology?

Contact-tracing has been part of our daily lives for awhile. For instance, visiting your friend in a condominium requires you to sign up as a safety and security measure. 

While most condominiums use a manual logbook to collect this information, SELangkah has digitalised this process to make it more efficient and this will allow the State’s rapid response measures to kick in immediately to protect your health and those around you. The QR code technology in SELangkah is easily accessible by anyone with a smartphone, both on iOS and Android.

5. What kind of data will SELangkah record?

Your name, mobile number as well as the date and time of your visit to a particular store. For further information on safeguarding your privacy, please refer to our Privacy Statement.

6. Are details of my address and identity card number required?

No. SELangkah only requires your contact number to inform you immediately in the event that you may have come in contact with a someone known to be infected with COVID-19. 

7. Will SELangkah track my location?

No. SELangkah only logs the date and time that  you scan the QR code displayed at the business premise. It does not have the capacity to use your smartphone’s GPS system. The data of your movement is personal and protected.

8. Who will safeguard my data?

Only authorised government personnel will have the control to manage and safeguard personal information submitted on SELangkah. Please refer to the Privacy Statement for further details.

9. Can the business premise owner access or modify my personal information?

No. Only authorised personnel of Selangor State Government will have absolute control over your personal information and we have taken the appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is protected and secure.  To reassure you further on the State’s obligation to protect data, Section 203A of the Penal Code provides that any person who discloses any information which has been obtained by him in the performance of his duties under any written law shall be punished with a fine of not more than RM 1,000,000.00 or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with both. Please refer to the Privacy Statement for further details.

10. Will my data be used for commercial purposes?

No.  Your personal information will only be used by the State Health Department to inform you directly if you have come in contact with a person infected with COVID 19 at the same business premise you visited. 

11. How is SELangkah different from other contact tracing mobile applications?

SELangkah aims to complement and fill in the gaps currently present with other Contact Tracing Mobile applications.

While SELangkah is useful for premises-based contact tracing, it does not have the same capacity to trace incidence in public spaces (for example exposure in public parks, etc) unlike bluetooth-based technology

SELangkah encourages everyone to support and download other Government-endorsed Contact Tracing Mobile Application too, so a holistic and comprehensive system can be made available to our frontliners.

12. I do not want to use the QR code or participate in SELangkah.

Use of SELangkah is part of a new normal  – a public health initiative that will be very useful in controlling COVID-19. It requires the cooperation of the government, businesses and most importantly, individuals.

However, in the event that you decide not to log your visit through SELangkah, track and trace efforts will be hampered and you could jeopardise the health safety of your loved ones by not knowing that you have been infected. 

SELangkah is one of the more efficient methods of tracing the spread of such infections and to inform you of the risk as soon as possible.
