‘Love/Hate’ depicts a Dublin we can relate toOPINION »

This month Reeves Restaurant located in the heart of Templeogue village is celebrating their 10 year anniversary. They are delighted to have reached this milestone, and thank the local communities, long standing regulars and their loyal and dedicated restaurant

team for making this possible. Reeves was established by chef and proprietor Tom Reeves in late 2004. After a successful 5 years serving food in the Templeogue Inn, Tom and his wife Carol decided to expand and open the aptly named Reeves Restaurant. Tom and Carols mission over the years has been to provide a local high quality casual dining at reasonable price. Their passion for food and family has been picked up on by countless customers as Reeves have seen many a christening party return, communion party and many other special family occasions.

Celebrating 10 years

In honour of this special 10 year celebration Reeves has been refurbished with an elegant new look, knowing that ambiance and comfort is as important as what is on your plate. Carol & Tom would like to thank Rory(Rest Manager)

Rachel (Asst Manager) Colm (Head Chef ) Danny (second chef ) and all the team. As a thank you to all of their customers, old and new,

Reeves Restaurant will be running week long celebrations from the 5th November 50% OFF selected house wines, competitions and more

Q: I have just bought a cat, what is the best food to give her?It is important to feed your cat the correct nutrition suited to their age, size, lifestyle, and cater for sensitivities and specific breeds. A good way to look at is, always work out the feeding cost per day for your cat rather than the cost of the bag.We recommend feeding a premium quality dry food to avoid dental and digestive problems, which can lead to costly visits to the vets.What to look out for?Protein: The one nutrient they need everyday. Choose cat foods that are packed with protein products. Fish, chicken, turkey, egg and beef.Taurine: This is an essential amino acid needed for heart, eye and brain tissues. Unlike dogs, cats cannot make their own Taurine and their only source is through the food they eat. Water: Don’t forget to always leave a fresh bowl of water available for your kitty.Dry or Wet?A diet comprised of only wet food means your cat won’t develop strong teeth and gums as it is soft and high in water content. Cats fed dry diets have less tartar build up on their teeth and less gum disease surrounding the teeth. The toughness of the dry food will support a healthy mouth for your cat. Many dry cat foods have a long shelf life after opening, making it a practical choice. Wet food has a short life once the food has been served.

If you feel flustered by the numerous brands of cat food and are unsure which would be most suited to your friendly feline, then don’t hesitate to ask for help at any Petworld store. We’ll be glad to help you pick out the best cat food to suit both you and your cat’s requirements.

What’s the first thing you think of when you get

home from work? Lying down on the couch and going for a snooze? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you had the energy to really make the most of your evenings? Many of us will admit to mak-ing empty promises to ourselves about going for a run or hitting the gym after work only to end up watching TV on the coach. You no longer have to suffer with fatigue thanks to a magnificent scientific discovery called Q10. If you combine it with vitamin C, you have the ideal “energy-supporting” duo.

Your body’s fuelMore and more people are find-ing out about Q10 and have embraced it as an indispensable shortcut to energy and well being. This vitamin- like substance that can be taken in capsule form pro-vides a boost that you cannot get with black coffee, ginseng or any other stimulant you have tried in the past. It fuels your cells by helping them convert food into energy. By taking Q10 you sup-

Facts about vitamin C

That cup of black coffee in the afternoon may perk you up for a while but it is nothing compared to the boost you can get with a combination of coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C. Check out the “power vitamin” everyone is talking about.

The ultimate energy boost

Facts about the coenzyme Q10 Q10 is found in foods such as meat, soy, sardines and

broccoli but not in very abundant amounts.

Your body (the liver) produces Q10. This production starts declining at the age of 20.

The cells that depend the most on Q10 are situated in the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and skeletal muscle.

There are no known side effects of taking Q10

People taking cholesterol lowering medication have an increased need for Q10

Science has observed a positive effect of Q10 on heart failure, male infertility and certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease.

port your cellular metabolism, enabling all of your cells to churn out more energy.

By including vitamin C, a nutri-ent that is needed to fuel normal energy-yielding processes in the body, you have two natural com-pounds that work from different angles.

Loads of benefitsIn addition to feeling more alert from the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night, there are other benefits of taking Q10. After all, your entire body consists of cells and both Q10 and vitamin C operate at a cellular level. Increasing the cel-lular energy output may support:

Nicer skin‒ Well-functioning skin cells help to make your skin healthy, firm, and elas-tic. Also, the cells can fight off threats like free radicals more effectivelyHealthier hair and nails‒ Q10 has anti-aging effects on the hair, it stimulates growth and does the same with your nails.

Brain cells require a lot of energy to function optimally. Supplementing with Q10 is a good boost for brain activityGums ‒ even younger people may experience bleeding gums. Q10 effectively coun-teracts gingival bleeding and helps maintain healthy gum tissue.

Vitamin C is found in citrus fruit, rosehips, bell pepper, chili and several other fruits and vegetables

Unlike most animals who can make their own vitamin C, humans do not have this ability. We depend on our diet or supplements

The body uses vitamin C to produce connective tissue which is why we need extra vitamin C for wound healing

Stress increases your need for vitamin C
