In today's modern world, I am sure you know most of lead hectic lifestyles and it can be difficult to look after our health and diet. It is paramount that we do not neglect our health as in the long run it is a good health that matters most.

Fara Fauzana or more fondly called by her fans FaFau, mentioned that her day starts very early. She needs to wake up 4am every day and be at the office at 5am in ther morning, at the break of dawn, she says it requires a lot of discipline and energy but she's passionate about her job and do not mind doing it every day.

Sherson on the other hand claims that he has to stay alert and physically fit due to his nature of work.
If you love cooking, I am sure that you know cooking requires planning and precision. Sherson needs to have focus in everything that he can do from planning the menu to choosing the best and freshest ingredients. As chefs he needs the energy to be able to manage the challenges in the kitchen such as the heat, heavy utensils and being on their feet for long hours. I know that as my brother works in the kitchen before.
Sherson as a host on food programmes, it is important for him to have the alertness, to be able to memorise scripts as well as endure long shooting hours.
Sherson when asked about why Pharmaton® is important in his daily life. In 2012 he set up a consultancy called Cookery Chemistry Solution that handles everything with food from restaurants, to food consultancy and shows.
