As carbohydrates will remain to take bigger portions of our daily food energy needs (versus protein and fats), it is important to be clever in choosing the source of carbohydrates that you will include in your diet – as carbohydrates will remain the chief source of energy for the body. To help you with this, Jacob’s brings to you one of the world’s nutritious cereal that provides carbohydrates in its cracker variants, Wheat. The edible grain produced by wheat cereal, in its natural form, contains carbohydrates, protein, (7) vitamins and (9) minerals; We have carefully formulated and cooked Jacob’s to ensure you still get those nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals in our crackers even in much more higher concentration.

According to Ministry of Health Report in 2006, the leading causes of death in Singapore are diseases that are, in one way or another, linked to being over-weight or obese like: Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease and Hypertension. Moderately over-weight adults, even after having lost their weight, suffer increase chances of developing heart disease by 70%. In managing your weight, eating foods with less fat can be an adjunct to being physically active and having a balanced diet. To help with you with this, Jacob’s now comes with 30% less fat than leading brands. The amount of fat in serving of Jacob’s can truly fit a fat or calorie-restricted diet for weight management.

Because a healthy lifestyle entails being physically active, you will need a good amount of vitamins and minerals that plays a role in energy production and release. Science has it that B-Vitamins and iron plays a role in energy release of energy from food. That very science is brought to your Jacob’s Crackers as it contains B1, B2, B3 and Iron as part of its Actimix Bundle.

• Dynamotion Fit: Reduces lateral stress for optimal fit
• Infinity Wave: Ultimate in cushioning, rebound and durability
• Mizuno Wave: Combines cushioning and stability
• SensorPoint: Connects the Wave plate to the ground for traction and stability
• SmoothRide: Minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition

Designed for the perfect fit and unbeatable comfort for the long haul, Infinity Wave construction gives them phenomenal cushioning, rebound and durability. Large flex grooves and flex controllers transfer more energy into forward motion. As running shoes go, the Wave Creation 12 is a great leap forward.

MIZUNO WAVE TECHNOLOGY®

Inspired by nature, Wave is the industry’s most effective midsole technology. Wave’s unique shape dissipates impact forces away from the foot for a smoother, more cushioned feel on every step.

SMOOTHRIDE ENGINEERING™

Unique approach to the sole of the shoe designed to create a smooth, rocking-chair-like transition from heel to toe on every step.

DYNAMOTION FIT™

Combination of shoe technologies that create an upper that moves with your foot seamlessly throughout your stride, eliminating stress points and bunching for a more comfortable run.

AP+

AP+ improves the quality of the running experience by offering increased rebound and a bouncier feeling run while maintaining the light weight performance you’ve come to expect from Mizuno.

The best way is to seek running specialist advice, but that’s not always possible and all the other information and opinions out there can be confusing and raise more questions than answers.

No matter what challenges and goals a runner has in mind, these are important questions to ask. Mizuno has dedicated years of research to finding the answers, and that’s exactly why MIZUNO PRECISION FIT has just been born.

Put simply, MIZUNO PRECISION FIT is a unique, unrivalled online tool to assess a runner’s biomechanics and technique. It is the ultimate online start to any runner’s journey, incorporating unprecedented levels of research, insight and expertise. It identifies the best possible Mizuno shoe for every runner’s needs allowing them to maximise performance, safe in the knowledge that they have the most advanced and personally relevant technology at their feet.

In more detail, MIZUNO PRECISION FIT is a series of self-tests that can be performed at home in front of a computer screen. The tests look at everything from a runner’s basic height and weight to the size of their arch to the shape of their legs and to the pressure points in their running stride.

MIZUNO PRECISION FIT is revolutionary in the running market and exclusive to Mizuno. To get a first look at how it works in practice and to make sure you are using the best possible running shoe, visit: www.myprecisionfit.com

Mizuno Precision Fit online determines your shoe by measuring the following:

Weight: Helps determine the correct amount of cushioning for your shoe

Pace: Determines your overall performance level

Arch/Foot Type: Foot shape helps determine which shoe will fit your foot

Foot rotation: How far your toes rotate in or out during your stride

Foot strike: Measures whether you land on your heel or midfoot

Static leg axis: Measures standing leg and knee orientation

Flexibility: Overall flexibility

Dynamic leg axis: Measures leg axis while running/jogging

With the ultimate combination of cushioning and durability, the Wave Prophecy is truly an exciting running shoe for runners everywhere.

The presence of Mizuno’s Wave® technology within The Mizuno Prophecy provides excellent cushioning by dispersing the force of impact across a large surface area. The stability aspect of Wave® technology is achieved by the differential construction of its lateral (outer) and medial (inner) areas which resist the compression of midsole areas where support is needed.

The Mizuno Wave Prophecy is also endorsed with the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance, so runners can be assured of comfort and sheltered protection for their feet and joints.

Mizuno’s lifelong commitment to research and development in the field of performance footwear has been marked by the presence of a wide array of technologies within its shoes. The Mizuno Wave Prophecy features the following:

Infinity Wave Plate

The shoe features two Wave plates stacked together and molded at different densities to facilitate landing on either the forefoot or the midfoot. You get this really cool, dynamic feeling in your foot, because the Wave is doing all the work for you at different points along the way.

Dynamotion Fit

Combination of shoe technologies that create an upper that moves with your foot seamlessly throughout your stride, eliminating stress points and bunching for a more comfortable run.

SmoothRide Flex

This minimizes energy loss by optimizing flexibility in the forefoot. The Prophecy’s forefoot flexes to a point, but stops around a 15-degree angle and then becomes somewhat rigid, so runners don’t lose any energy when toeing off.

Outsole

Constructed of solid rubber, the outsole is built to be durable, but it’s thin enough to not be particularly heavy. The pattern is such that lots of little independent studs provide traction and also allow each of those individual studs to move and displace, which creates a cushioning sensation.

Gender Engineering

The Wave Prophecy will be available in separate models to suit male and female foot types. Since in general women have higher Q-Angles [the alignment of the pelvis, leg and foot] than men, their feet typically hit the ground at a greater angle, causing overpronation. Men typically run in a more neutral line.

The Wave Prophecy is primarily suited for runners who have few concerns about stability. But overall, the shoe provides natural stability and some protection against overpronation.
