of diets and since then has worked with many others to help them

psychiatry, sexuality, life changing behaviour techniques, spirituality

During his stints in three intensive care units (cardiac, medical
and neurology) and caring for the critically ill, Arthur Tjandra
observed numerous unnecessary deaths and diseases as a result of
unhealthy "modern" lifestyle. Arthur Tjandra also observed
that a lot of focus has been placed on the treatment of diseases
but little has been done to educate the public on preventive medicine.
He decided, thus, to set up this free information portal for the
public, which he funded himself.
Arthur Tjandra has handpicked a select group of renowned
medical professionals who are experienced in the management of ageing-related
diseases as well as experts in their respective sub-specialties,
to contribute review articles to ANTI-AGEING.SG.

Having packed on more than 12 kgs of excess fat with a waistline
of 37 inches, Arthur Tjandra started running as
one of the means to lose weight in 2004, when he was already in
his 30s. He took part in his first race in the same year, and since
then he has never looked back. Combined with his signature diet
and fat loss method, he successfully achieved a lean, toned, chiseled
body and shed 8 inches off his waist within 6 months. Now as he
approaches 40 years of age, Arthur Tjandra continues
to maintain the physique and stamina of a 20-year-old. Arthur
Tjandra has become a regular competitor at local and regional
marathon and duathlon races, overcoming his exercise-induced asthma
which prevented him from engaging in aerobic activities during his
younger days. One of his most significant achievements in endurance
and speed can be seen in his timing. He could hardly run 1 KM without
stopping when he first picked up jogging in 2004, taking an average
time of 8-9 minutes to complete 1 KM. Combining his knowledge in
proper training and nutrients, currently, he is a sub-2-hour half
marathon finisher. Please click on the above link to view his race
