Admit it. With the World Cup season now on, all of us are affected in one way or another –even the non-football fans. Spouses and colleagues of football fans do suffer –mildly or severely. The former suffering from disrupted sleep, the latter suffering from a heftier workload. Football fans, this is the season when dark circles form, eye bags emerge, beer bellies expand and there are noticeably more frequent trips to the clinic for MCs. You feel grumpy and lethargic, especially after staying up all night to watch a match. All that junk food bingeing are undoubtedly detrimental to health.

Here’s the magic potion to surviving the World Cup: BRAND’s Essence of Chicken.

Trust me, I’ve never been a fan of this and I still am not –hence I’ve found novel ways to include that in my diet without having to gulp down straight from the bottle, such as using it as a soup base, and in stir-frying and braising.

The health benefits of BRAND’S Essence of Chicken that academic studies have shown include:

1. Mental Well-Being – Reduces mental fatigue and thus improves mental concentration
2. Anxiety Moderation – Reduces anxiety and helps to better manage stress
3. Physiological Process – Improves sleep quality and mood elevation, aiding in recovery from illness and fatigue
4. Immunity System – Maintains general health and strengthens the immune system by stimulating the immune cells and destroying foreign agents at the site of infection
5. Blood Sugar Level – Reduces high blood sugar level and keeps sugar level in check through L-Carnosine, one of the active components present
