Offering a wide array of services from housekeeping to elderly care, Ayasan has amassed a customer base of over one million users since its establishment. In the past two years, Ayasan has successfully doubled its user base, solidifying its role as the top platform in Thailand's home services industry. The home services market in Southeast Asia is currently valued at US$15 billion, with significant growth prospects. The cleaning services segment is growing at an annual rate of 15%, and the babysitting market has expanded to US$3 billion. Ayasan has increased its market share in this booming market by maintaining Japanese-quality service standards and implementing a unique talent development system. Founder Kotaro Ise, who brings experience from Walt Disney and Marriott International, launched Ayasan in 2013 to elevate blue-collar workers into highly skilled professionals. Under Ise's leadership, Ayasan now manages a network of over 50,000 professional staff members. Ise credits the company’s success to its ability to merge quality control expertise with a vast talent network across Asia. "Our strength lies in combining Japanese quality control expertise with an extensive talent network across Asia," says Ise. Ayasan's swift growth is fueled by its bold regional expansion strategy. In Thailand, the company operates in Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya, with plans to launch in Chiang Mai by February 2025. Beyond Thailand, Ayasan has established operations in Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Laos. By 2025, the company aims to extend its presence to nine countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, and the Philippines. In the corporate arena, Ayasan boasts a robust client portfolio of over 1,000 companies, including major names like Kasikorn Bank, FedEx, lululemon, Coca-Cola, and Canon. Recently, Ayasan has seen a surge in demand from embassy offices and emerging startups such as FlashExpress and Gowabi. Ayasan has experienced remarkable growth in tourist hotspots like Phuket and Pattaya. Offices opened in 2024 have seen a 200% monthly growth rate in short-term babysitting and care services for tourists. Despite the rapid advancements in AI, Ise remains confident in the irreplaceable value of Ayasan's services. "Even in the age of AI, the value of services that support people's daily lives will never diminish," he states. To enhance service delivery, Ayasan maintains its own IT engineering team and is developing AI-powered matching systems. As Ayasan continues to expand, the company is seeking partnerships with investors to fuel its next phase of growth.

While high in carbohydrates and sugar, the American breakfast is quicker to prepare, catering to a more fast-food lifestyle. Nutritionally, the English breakfast tends to be more protein-rich and balanced, whereas the American breakfast can lean heavily toward sugar and simple carbs. Both meals can be indulgent, but the English breakfast is more likely to provide sustained energy due to its savory and fiber-rich components.The American generally has way too much sugar !

A traditional English breakfast provides a balanced mix of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, making it a satisfying and energizing start to the day. The high protein content from eggs, bacon, and sausages supports muscle repair and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, while the carbohydrates in toast and baked beans provide a steady release of energy. The inclusion of vegetables like grilled tomatoes and mushrooms adds fiber and essential vitamins, which contribute to overall health and digestion. For those with a busy or active day, this hearty meal can sustain energy levels and prevent mid-morning hunger, making it an ideal option for a physically or mentally demanding day. And besides that IT TASTES GREAT ! Especially when washed down with a cup of Rosey Lee.😀

Magnesium before bed calms the body down, L theanine aids sleep, ashwaghanda will aid anxiety. Just suggestions. 👍.....here's why Magnesium, L-theanine, and Ashwagandha work well together at bedtime because they promote relaxation and better sleep quality. Magnesium calms the nervous system and supports muscle relaxation. L-theanine reduces stress and encourages a calm mental state. Ashwagandha helps balance stress hormones and supports overall sleep health, making this trio an effective natural combination for restful sleep.

You'll be playing "the way we were" next 👍

Better to take twice a day rather than in one go. (glycinate 2 x 200mg} I also found it great for a more restful sleep, take one in the morning and the other before bed.

Magnesium is one of those unsung heroes of the mineral world. Often overshadowed by more popular vitamins and nutrients, magnesium plays a crucial role in our health and well-being. This essential mineral is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, making it vital for energy production, muscle function, and nervous system health. But are you getting enough? Let’s dive into the various types of magnesium supplements, their ideal uses, the benefits they provide, and the signs that you might be running low on this important nutrient. Types of Magnesium Supplements 1. Magnesium Citrate deal For General supplementation and improving digestive health. - This form is highly bioavailable, meaning your body can absorb it well. It's often recommended for those dealing with constipation, as it has a mild laxative effect. 2. Magnesium Glycinate Ideal For Sleep improvement and anxiety relief. - Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with glycine, an amino acid known for its calming properties. This makes it a great option for those looking to enhance relaxation and support restful sleep. 3. Magnesium Oxide Ideal For Basic supplementation and relief from heartburn. - While not as easily absorbed as other forms, magnesium oxide is often used for its high magnesium content. It can provide quick relief from acid indigestion. 4.Magnesium Threonate Ideal For: Cognitive enhancement. - This newer form of magnesium is believed to cross the blood-brain barrier effectively, making it a favorite for those looking to support brain health and improve memory. Why Do We Need to Supplement? Despite its importance, many people do not get enough magnesium from their diets. Factors such as modern farming practices that deplete soil magnesium, a diet rich in processed foods, and certain health conditions can lead to deficiencies. Supplementing with magnesium can help fill these gaps and support overall health. Benefits of Magnesium Supplementation Improved Sleep: Many people report deeper, more restful sleep when they take magnesium, particularly forms like magnesium glycinate. Reduced Anxiety: Magnesium plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters, which can help alleviate anxiety symptoms. Muscle Function and Recovery: Athletes and active individuals may benefit from better muscle function and recovery times. Heart Health: Magnesium helps maintain normal heart rhythms and can contribute to lower blood pressure. Bone Health: This mineral is essential for bone density and can reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Foods That Contain Magnesium Incorporating magnesium into your diet doesn't have to be complicated! Many everyday foods are excellent sources of this essential mineral. Here are some magnesium-rich options you can easily include in your meals: Leafy Greens: Spinach and Swiss chard are particularly high in magnesium. A cup of cooked spinach provides about 157 mg. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, cashews, and pumpkin seeds are fantastic snacks packed with magnesium. Just a quarter-cup of almonds can provide around 98 mg. Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, and oats offer a good dose of magnesium. A cup of cooked quinoa contains approximately 39 mg. Legumes: Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are not only high in fiber but also rich in magnesium. A cup of cooked black beans has about 60 mg. Fish: Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are also great sources. A 3.5-ounce serving of salmon delivers around 37 mg. To naturally increase your magnesium intake, consider adding these foods to your everyday meals. For example, start your day with a bowl of oatmeal topped with almonds, enjoy a spinach salad for lunch, and have a quinoa-based dish for dinner. Small changes can make a big difference in your magnesium levels! Signs of Low Magnesium It’s essential to be aware of the signs that you may not be getting enough magnesium. Common symptoms of deficiency can include: Muscle Cramps or Twitches: Unexplained muscle cramps or spasms may indicate low magnesium levels. Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired? Fatigue can be a sign of magnesium deficiency. Anxiety or Irritability: If you’re feeling more anxious or irritable than usual, low magnesium might be a contributing factor. Bone Weakness: Frequent bone fractures or osteoporosis could signal insufficient magnesium. Insomnia: Difficulty sleeping or restless nights can also be linked to low magnesium levels. Magnesium is more than just a mineral; it’s a crucial player in maintaining our health. Whether you’re looking to improve your sleep, reduce anxiety, or support muscle function, there’s likely a magnesium supplement that’s right for you. If you suspect you might be deficient, consider talking to a healthcare provider for personalized advice and recommendations. Investing in your health can be as simple as adding a magnesium supplement to your routine. With its array of benefits, you might just find that this small addition makes a big difference in how you feel!
