Welcome
It was a personal initiative to start working on the awareness
magazine ‘Youm Jadid’ since we believe that we, as individuals, have
responsibility towards the society and environment.
We have chosen topics on quality, environment, health and safety
that we think are not only interesting for the community but also are
of extreme importance. We already started to use the tips and ideas
given in the magazine and we can see positive results. Hopefully, you
will also find them useful and beneficial.
We believe that the topics we have chosen for the magazine are
interesting and that we have presented them in a simple way.
Please remember that every new day is a new chance for a new
change.

People in High-Risk Category for Diabetes
Below are six simple ways to identify those who are in the high-risk category for diabetes:
• People above the age of 40
• People with a positive family history of diabetes
• People with increased abdominal fat. If the waist circumference of a male is over 90 cm (35.4 in) and
female is over 85 cm (33.4 in), he or she is at increased risk of developing diabetes.
• People considered at a pre-diabetes stage (impaired fasting glucose >=110 mg/dl, impaired glucose
tolerance 140-199 mg/dl)
• People leading a sedentary lifestyle
• People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels

ways to prevent diabetes
Diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be prevented. Whether you fall in the high-risk
category for diabetes, or are simply concerned for your health, do read the top 10 ways
in which you avoid getting this disease.

How to Prevent Diabetes
4. Include fruits and vegetables in your diet
It is time to take control of what you eat. Make a conscious effort to include
plenty of fruits (whole fruits are far better than juices) and vegetables,
especially green leafy vegetables, in your diet.
10. Gain with whole grains
Wheat, brown rice and oats are far healthier for you than refined foods.
Make them a part of your diet and keep diabetes at bay.
1. Burn more calories than you consume
It is a healthy practice to consume fewer calories than you use. Eat foods that are
not high in calories and increase your physical activity by walking more, taking the
stairs whenever you can and making a conscious effort to stay active.
2. Be conscious of your measurements
A slim waist is not just a cosmetic vanity, it is also a sign of better health. Excess
abdominal fat increases risk of type 2 diabetes. Experts suggest that women should
keep their waist measurement below 80 cm (31.5 in), and men below 90 cm (35.5
in).
3. Start eating smaller and more frequent meals
Many of us follow the policy of eating three solid meals a day. Consider changing over to the divide and eat
policy. Also, whatever happens, do not skip breakfast.
7. There is no escaping exercise
When it comes to prevention, the power of regular exercise is far greater than that of
any medicine created. Through regular exercise, at least 30 minutes a day, you can
prevent a range of diseases – from diabetes to heart disease. It keeps you feeling
healthy, looking good and makes life far more enjoyable. If you are not exercising
already, start today.
6. De-stress
Experts have found a strong correlation between stress and diabetes. Do not simply accept stress as a part of
modern living. There are many things you can do to avoid and reduce stress in your life. Take up meditation,
exercise – the list is endless. Take steps to reduce stress in your life today.
8. Quit smoking
If you needed another reason to quit smoking, here it is. A study published in the
American Journal of Epidemiology showed that a person who smoked 16 to 25
cigarettes a day was three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than a non-
smoker.
5. Reduce salt intake
Hypertension and diabetes have a very close connection. In fact, the
prevalence of hypertension in the diabetic population is twice that of the
non-diabetic population. So if you have any of the risk factors of diabetes
or hypertension, take care of reducing your salt intake.
9. Check your blood sugar and cholesterol levels
If you fall in the high-risk group, i.e., if you have a family history of
diabetes, along with any one of the risk factors listed above, you must
get regular blood sugar and cholesterol checks.

ack, neck, hand, and shoulder pain is the natural result of prolonged sitting at work
behind a computer, as is bad posture. This can cause headaches and excessive
tension in neck, shoulders, arms, forearms, wrists, back, hips, and legs. The result
is increased fatigue to the muscles and ligaments supporting the lower back and this
can eventually lead to tissue injury and spinal joint dysfunction. Avoid these problems by
posture correction and exercise.
In the next page you can find illustratations for some simple exercises. It is suggested
that you do these exercises on a daily basis. This will only take a few minutes.

There are some important green practices at the workplace that would contribute
substantially to the environment.
Before you even think about recycling, what should come to mind first are reducing waste
and reusing whatever you can at the workplace. This is because reducing consumption and
waste and reusing contribute the most to a cleaner environment and a healthier earth.
Hence, look out for opportunities at your workplace where usage and waste can be reduced,
and items can be reused.

• Reuse scrap paper for taking notes.
• Reuse cardboard or metal boxes for storage purposes at the workplace.
• Reuse envelopes for internal office mail.
Reusing
Green Tips at Workplace
Reducing usage and waste
• Print only what you need.
• Print on both sides of the paper, especially the less important documents. This practice helps to reduce
paper usage and waste by 50%!
• Reduce the use of paper by sending information or documents via the email, rather than hard copy files or
faxes.
• Make use of electronic posters and banners, instead of paper ones.
• Share newspapers and magazines between units and divisions, rather than providing a set for each individual
unit.
• Make use of reusable porcelain or metal mugs for coffee breaks, instead of disposable or Styrofoam ones.
• If you lunch in, bring your lunch in reusable containers rather than paper or plastic bags that must be
discarded after a single use.
Other tips
• The making
of paper
products from recycled
paper generates nearly 74% less pollution
and uses 50% less water than making
paper products from raw materials.
• Plastic products made from recycled
plastic need 88% less energy to make than
plastic products made from oil.
• Each minute you keep the faucet running,
you are wasting 2.5 gallons of water.
• Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
use one third of the electricity, and last
up to ten times as long as incandescent
bulbs.
• Plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kills
over 1 million sea animals every year.
• Worldwide, annually, we consume 500
billion plastic bags, which required 60
million barrels of oil to make.

• Purchase paper products that are made of recycled
paper, such as printing paper, note pads, and business
cards.
• Keep a reusable shopping bag at your work station. It
would come in handy if you need to do any shopping
during lunch break or after work.
• Much energy is used to operate offices and other work
stations in many organizations. You can do your part
to save energy by switching off lights, air-conditioning
and your personal computers when they are not in
use. Remind those around you to do the same!

Setting career goals consists of identifying clear objectives plus the steps needed
to achieve them. The main reason people do not achieve ambitions is that they
do not set any.
“If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race.
Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just to finish the
race - it’s up to you.” Dave Scott
To start, use the following 12 steps to focus your efforts and maximize your
achievements.
READY. SET.
GOALS!
10
11. 11
• Define your objectives clearly in writing.
Writing down your objectives raises the likelihood of attaining your chosen goals by at least 75%. It will increase your level of
commitment, clarifies necessary actions in the achievement process, and helps you remember vital details.
Name and concentrate on the advantages for you as well as others of attaining your goals. This is a huge motivator.
• Define the intent of your ambitions.
Link your goals to practical, specific purposes. To strengthen your personal motivation, base your goals on inspiration, not just
on pure logic.
• Create an action plan, set deadlines and take action.
List sub goals. Divide each main goal into logical progressive steps. Set deadlines for completing each step, and complete the
steps on time.
List priorities. Then take action in order of priority. If you are having trouble determining which actions should come first – ask
a friend or mentor to help you.
• List your supportive resources.
Examples of supportive resources include instructors, books, education and learning, people who encourage you to persevere,
experienced coaches or mentors, and printed as well as online reference materials.
• Make a public commitment.
If appropriate, share your objectives with someone who encourages you to go the extra mile. This will raise your sense of
accountability.
• Be realistic about your limitations.
For example, do not set a short-term goal to get a new job that requires more training. Set separate goals to get education, take
an interim job, and then reach your ultimate goal.
• Use positive self-talk and affirmation statements.
Do this each and every day. Write down your statements and post them prominently in your bedroom, on your fridge, your
desktop at work, and so that you can see them in the mirror in your car.
Use positive visualizations. Imagine yourself having and enjoying what you desire. See yourself in the new office. Think about
what it will feel like to see your name with your new title.
• Practice. Practice. Practice.
Practice new skills regularly. Get additional information, training, coaching and feedback on your progress.
• Persevere.
Be tenacious in pursuing your goals. It is important to know when you need to change goals. But sometimes you just need to
stay the course until you succeed.
• Chart your progress.
As simplistic as it seems, a long series of check marks on a calendar or a wall chart can actually motivate you by providing a
significant sense of achievement. Do not let missing an occasional daily goal deter you, however. Keep focusing on your final
targeted goals.
• Assess and revise your goals as required.
Evaluate your ongoing development. Experiment from time to time with new approaches especially if you are not getting the
results you would like. But most importantly remember to be patient. Rome was not created in a day. If necessary, you can
want to revise your goals.
• Reward yourself.
Rewards are excellent motivators. As you make progress toward your objectives, do something nice for yourself that you enjoy.
Remember – your professional goals are significant to you and your success. By setting clear goals
you are on the road to creating the career you want. Following the 12 steps outlined, enables you to
focus your efforts and puts you back in the driver seat of your career.

Fruits provide us with the best form of natural sugars, so they are
good for a snack if you are feeling low on energy in the office.
Strawberries, gooseberries, oranges, apples, bananas, melons −
they are all packed with antioxidants and vitamins.
Calorie count: Depending upon the type of fruit you choose to
snack on, an average bowl of fruits can vary from 70 to 200 calories
per bowl.
Home-madepopcorn
Dried fruits like dates, prunes,
apricots, figs and raisins are also
portable, filling, lower calorie
options compared to chocolates
and other sweet munchies. They
are high in iron and other essential
nutrients necessary for energy and
a healthy metabolism. But make
sure you do not eat too much
especially if you are trying to lose
weight since they do contain more
calories per serving than fresh
fruit. But given that they contain
all the fiber and fullness feelings,
a few pieces go a long way!
Dried fruits
Grabbing a handful of nuts
from the little bag in your
handbag saves you the
inevitable regret later on
when you realize that you
have binged on something
unhealthy and fattening. Nuts
are packed with proteins.
While most other snacks are
packed with carbs and other
empty calories, nuts are one
of the few snack items that
have proteins and fill you up
for a very long time.
Calorie count: Per ounce of
almonds have 170 calories.
Nuts
Fruits
Made without oil or butter, popcorn is a volume
and nutrient dense snack. It is whole grain and
filled with fibre to keep you full and give you the
psychological satisfaction of eating a lot.

Here is a simple sandwich snack recipe: 2
brown bread slices, a layer of green lettuce,
1 sliced cucumber, 1 sliced tomato, (optional)
1 slice of low-fat cheese or 1 slice of turkey.
Calorie count: A simple snack sandwich has
about 180 calories.
Brown bread

More and more studies are showing the health benefits of dark
chocolate. This is another snack that is not low in calories, so
portion size will be important, but even a small square of dark
chocolate can be satisfying as a mid-afternoon snack. Buy a
large dark chocolate candy bar (not milk chocolate) and cut
it into small squares of no more than 100 calories and keep
them in your desk when you need a quick pick me up.
Dark chocolate
Veggies
Beat the high-fat, high-
sodium snacks featured at the
convenience store and pack a
container of fresh veggies like
carrots, celery, and tomatoes.
Raw veggies fill you up because
of their high water and fiber
content. If you struggle eating
veggies in the buff, try dipping
them in 2 tablespoons of hummus
(70 calories).
It is fulfilling and yummy.
An ideal office snack, you
should go for low-fat or
skimmed milk versions of
yogurt. If you want, you can
just add a dash of honey
to it. However, do watch
for the fat grams. Best is
to add some fresh berries,
fine dices of apples and
bananas to it.
Calorie count: About 8
ounce of low-fat yogurt has
143 calories.
