Unlocking the Power

of Health in Transit

By: Dr. Dana Cohen, M.D., author of “Quench”

When it comes to maintaining optimal health and well-being, how you fuel yourself while on the road plays a crucial role. For the avid traveler, understanding the connection between what you consume and the immune system’s ability to fend off virus infections is paramount for smooth sailing.

The Nutritional Foundation of Immune Resilience

Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense against infections, and it relies on a balanced intake of essential nutrients to function optimally. For travelers seeking to bolster their immune systems and protect against viral infections, the right nutrition and supplementation is key. Foods high in antioxidants, such as colorful fruits and vegetables, provide the body with the tools it needs to combat viruses and maintain overall health. Consider adding these immune-boosting foods to your travel diet:

Citrus Fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are packed with vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that supports immune function. Vitamin C can help your body fend off infections and reduce the duration and severity of illnesses. If you have a difficult time finding fresh citrus fruit when traveling, take packets of vitamin C powder with you to mix in water or try vitamin C chewable supplements that can be taken without water. 

Mushrooms: Particularly varieties like shiitake and maitake mushrooms, are renowned for their immune-boosting properties. They contain compounds like alpha-glucans and beta-glucans that can stimulate and enhance the activity of immune cells, helping the body’s defense mechanisms operate at their best. The most effective way to reap the immunity benefits of mushrooms is through supplementation. You can unleash your immune system’s ability to fight viruses like high-risk HPV infections, COVID-19 and flu strains with AHCC® supplementation. Derived from shiitake mushroom mycelia, this naturally cultured extract has undergone extensive research, with over 30 human clinical studies and 50 papers in Indexed MEDLINE journals supporting its efficacy.

Green Juices: Packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like leafy greens, cucumbers, and celery, offer a refreshing and convenient way to boost immune health while staying hydrated during travel. These juices are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can fortify the immune system, helping your body fend off potential infections. Additionally, their high-water content helps combat dehydration, a common concern during travel, ensuring you stay energized and revitalized while on the go. 

Empowering On-The-Go Health

For those who love to travel, understanding the influence of diet on immune function is key to unlocking your full health potential while on the go. By incorporating immune-boosting foods like citrus fruits, mushrooms, green juices, and considering supplements like vitamin C and AHCC, you can take proactive steps to support your immune system no matter where you go!

My compositions often start with bursts of color and paint, building into slow and considered finished works which often relate to place. Forms develop and evolve within the layering of paint, through a process of revisions, reprisals, and counterattacks. I use the line of the horizon in all my paintings as a ‘stage’ for the paint – to mirror the rhythm of clouds, set against a collage of a memory of the urban landscape. — Andrew Hopkins

Andrew Hopkins is a Sydney based artist who completed his BFA at the National Art School Sydney in 2009. He was a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Traveling Scholarship in 2016 and 2017 and a finalist in the William Fletcher Biennial Traveling Fellowship Residency at the British School at Rome in 2013. His works are held in numerous private & corporate collections, including Allens Sydney.

The Pearl Cullinan

‘The Pearl Cullinan’ was commissioned in early 2022 by a longstanding Rolls-Royce client to mark his father’s 90th birthday. Regional Director, César Habib, and Bespoke Lead Designer Michelle Lusby was originally introduced to the father with the purpose of understanding his passions and life story; these meetings provided valuable insights to inform the design direction for the commission.

BESPOKE PEARL ROSE EXTERIOR FINISH

The Bespoke Pearl Rose finish is inspired by the color of the owner’s most prized pearl in his extensive, world-class collection and is reserved exclusively for this motor car: it will not be available to any other client in future. Paint specialists at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood
used carefully selected pigments to replicate a delicate hint of pink rarely found in natural pearls. Unusually, the paint combines both metallic and pearlescent effects to give exceptional depth and luster.

Perfecting the finish required around 30 different iterations, each applied to a full-sized body panel. These were pre-checked under daylight simulation lamps in the Atelier at Goodwood, then
sent to the client to make sure the color was correct when viewed under the Middle Eastern sun.

The paint also underwent extensive technical testing to ensure it will remain unaltered by heat or UV light over its lifetime.

The Pearl Rose finish is complemented with a single coachline, applied by hand in Rose Gold paint, to match the rose gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. The rose gold theme also extends to the bespoke treadplates, which are revealed on each of the four door sills upon opening.

INTERIOR: THE ART OF PRESENTATION

The interior of ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ features two different leather colors. The front seats – where the father prefers to travel as a passenger – are finished in his favorite Cashmere Grey. In
reference to the family’s heritage, the rear seats are trimmed in Ardent Red, which takes inspiration from the color of the material on which pearls are presented to customers, to best highlight their subtle natural colour variations. In a similar vein, the burr walnut veneer echoes the wooden presentation boxes in which pearls are traditionally handed over to customers upon purchase.

Bespoke embroidery detailing includes ‘RR’ monograms in Rose Gold thread on the headrests and rear seat inserts in Grace White, inspired by the symmetrical growth patterns of an oyster
shell and angled at the same precise 55 degrees as the veneer.

A CELEBRATION OF MOTHER-OF-PEARL

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted to present ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ – a magnificent, one-of-one Bespoke motor car commissioned by the owner’s family to mark a significant birthday. It is also the first Bespoke project to be revealed by the Private Office Dubai, which works with local
Dealer Partners to bring the authentic Goodwood experience to clients across the Middle East region.

‘The Pearl Cullinan’ features the most extensive use of mother-of-pearl ever seen in a Rolls-Royce motor car. The natural variations of this beautiful material created opportunities and challenges
in equal measure for the marque’s designers and craftspeople.

This is particularly apparent with the detailed design of the rear Picnic Tables. The upper surface features an intricate, circular pattern inspired by traditional Arabic design that draws the eye inwards to a central point. Each tabletop is then inlaid with 1,351 separate pieces of mother-of-
pearl, everyone individually selected and placed by hand in the surrounding burr walnut marquetry and sealed with clear lacquer. The natural shade and color differences in both the
mother-of-pearl and the wood mean each tabletop is a unique work of art.

The burr walnut fascia incorporates an exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay inspired by traditional Middle Eastern art. At its center is the Arabic word for ‘father,’ inlaid in stainless steel. In a first
for Rolls-Royce, the bespoke dashboard clock is set in a mother-of-pearl surround; the dial and hands are in rose gold. The center rotary dial is also finished with mother-of-pearl, giving it a
tactile, jewel-like quality. Above the occupants, the Bespoke Starlight Headliner shows the sky as it appeared on the night and at the very place the commissioning client’s father was born.

Michelle Lusby, Bespoke Lead Designer at the Private Office Dubai, said, “For me, there was a huge emotional connection with this Bespoke project. I had the privilege of spending time with the commissioning family, which allowed me to discuss details of the design directly with them and really understand their true significance. Their unique use of mother-of-pearl was a great creative and technical challenge for us: to see the picnic tables go from my original digital designs to those beautiful, highly detailed finished works of art was fantastic. This is a truly
special commission in so many ways, and a project we aspire to have as Rolls-Royce designers. Emotions inspire our imaginations.”

VistaJet Wellness

Since its inception in 2004, VistaJet, the first and only global business aviation company, has distinguished itself by doing things differently with the aim of making private flying simple and efficient. Continuing to challenge the boundaries of what is possible at 40,000 feet, VistaJet’s latest initiative is no less impressive — introducing the VistaJet Wellness program.

VistaJet’s new offering transforms the flight from a potential tiring experience into an energizing one, integrating onboard wellness facilities and services, to destinations with a focus on wellbeing. Responding to demand from its Members and global trends for greater meaning, longevity and impactful life experiences, VistaJet experts have curated a multifaceted global wellness portfolio that offers every Member a solution suited to their particular perspective and needs — whether a performance athlete seeking faster regeneration, business leaders seeking greater clarity focus and relaxation, or families wanting to broaden their personal and spiritual connection or discover new ways to live better.

Partnering with leading brands in the wellbeing and longevity space, VistaJet continues its innovative journey to offer its Members a better way to fly — and live.

“Flying better means living better, and the advantage of flying private should not be limited to the speed of the flight alone. In VistaJet’s aim for excellence, we researched all the ways to benefit the minds and bodies of the people who fly with us. Using our resources, knowledge and network, we can really support our Members, particularly those who spend a lot of time in the air. When flying is part of your life or business routine, we want to make sure it is a moment that adds value.” — Matteo Atti, Chief Marketing Officer, VistaJet.

A wellness program spanning four continents and over 20 disciplines. 

Whilst the quest for a healthy life and living longer has existed as long as humankind, the wellness industry has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years, with McKinsey & Company estimating the value of the global wellness market at more than $1.5 trillion. Listening to its Members, and thanks to its truly global infrastructure and network, VistaJet has curated dedicated wellness solutions in the air and at destinations across the world that resonate with the people who fly on its silver and red aircraft.

Onboard wellness: pre-flight, in-flight, post-flight. 

Flying affects both the body and the mind, and for people who fly a few times a week, the impact of jetlag has a real effect on everyday life and business focus. Creating a solution that helps Members stay at their best as they reach their destination is VistaJet’s series of pre, post and in-flight wellness services:

  • Pre-flight — consultations with a VistaJet nutritionist on the best foods to eat before and during flight, to pre-order in-flight meals that work for you and your mission ahead. 
  • In-flight — from ergonomic seating on the game-changing Global 7500 aircraft to assist posture and dynamic daylight simulation to sync to destination time zone, to meditation and breathing apps, wellness dining menus designed alongside nutritionists and leading athletes — including Charles Leclerc — to relax, rejuvenate and revitalize, and onboard products from leading wellness brands including Guerlain’s Orchidée Imperial collection and specialist natural whole fruit and herb infusions range from JING served on board. 
  • Post-flight — wellness guides created by leading physician Dr Jordan Shlain and his team at Private Medical provide tips and guidance for maintaining optimal wellbeing after flying. Guides include jet lag management and hydrating effectively after arrival.

Wellness at destination: from biohacking treatments to a private prayer session with the Tibetan Buddhist leader.

VistaJet Members can now access wellness practices at their source, and benefit from exclusive Private World partner offerings with world-leading institutions, brands and experts, for a truly global experience of wellbeing.

PayPal Opens Its Doors to Crypto


It is quite remarkable to see how PayPal’s outlook on digital currency has changed over time. It is clear that the largest payment processor in the world is anxious to get in on the cryptocurrency action, having previously sent cryptic emails warning consumers against any crypto-related actions and now accepting cryptocurrencies. On October 21, PayPal finally made the eagerly awaited news that it would be entering the cryptocurrency sector gradually after months of rumours. Further, you can visit immediate-gpt.org

Initial Steps in Crypto Adoption

PayPal’s U.S. account holders will first be able to purchase, sell, and store popular cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin in an e-wallet. In the first half of 2021, the company plans to extend its crypto service to Venmo, a peer-to-peer subsidiary, making digital currencies more widely available. Additionally, PayPal wants to expand the number of countries that can use its cryptocurrency services. By the beginning of the next year, the company also wants to let consumers make crypto payments to over 26 million merchants who utilise its platform.

PayPal partnered up with Paxos Trust Company, which has the requisite regulatory clearance to offer these services, to obtain the necessary licences and regulatory permits for this move. Additionally, the payment processor obtained a BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services, enabling it to run its cryptocurrency services in the state. While PayPal maintained that its licence was exclusive, it is important to remember that BitLicense has been there since 2015, however, it has been given out selectively.

Reasons Behind PayPal’s Crypto Move

PayPal cited a number of factors for entering the cryptocurrency market. First and foremost, the organisation wants to learn more about digital currencies and other next-generation fintech services. Second, it aims to aid in the public acceptance of cryptocurrencies, possibly accelerating the process of integrating them. PayPal also wants to maintain its market share in light of the fact that rivals such as Square have already embraced crypto payment methods. 

Impact on the Crypto Market

The news of PayPal’s announcement had a big impact on the cryptocurrency market. In June, when rumours of the company’s probable entry into the cryptocurrency market first appeared, Bitcoin’s price increased by 4% in a single day. Now that the formal confirmation has been made, Bitcoin has already risen to its highest level since July 2019, and the rest of the market is also on the upswing. Since the company’s stock also increased by 4%, marking its highest day gain in the previous 30 days, the news of PayPal’s crypto integration appears to be a win-win situation for all parties involved.

Addressing Volatility Concerns

PayPal’s approach to managing volatility concerns is one notable aspect of its cryptocurrency business. The business stated that it would use a new method for fiat currency settlement, thereby reducing the impact of changes in cryptocurrency prices on transactions. Additionally, as a sign of its dedication to giving users a safe and reliable payment experience, PayPal committed to pay for any losses that merchants may incur as a result of the volatility in Bitcoin prices.

Future Implications of PayPal’s Move

The fact that PayPal has entered the cryptocurrency market has a big impact on how commonly accepted and used digital currencies become. PayPal might be a key player in spreading the public’s understanding and awareness of cryptocurrencies through its massive user base and extensive reach. The action also demonstrates the increasing acceptance of digital assets among conventional financial institutions and paves the way for more innovations and integrations.

Conclusion

The adoption of cryptocurrencies by PayPal is an important milestone in the world of digital currencies. The participation of PayPal, one of the top payment processors in the world, is likely to accelerate the adoption of digital currencies and increase interest from both institutional and retail investors. PayPal is well-positioned to have a big impact on the cryptocurrency market, determining its future course and ability to be a disruptive force in the worldwide financial landscape, through its large user base and high regulatory compliance.
