Walk With A Doc - Bintulu

03/09/2025

Lets aim for minimum of 7000 steps a day !

How many steps a day do you really need for better health? You’ve probably heard that 10,000 steps is the magic number, but that figure actually comes from a 1960s marketing campaign to sell pedometers.

A new study in The Lancet Public Health shows that just 7,000 steps per day has many meaningful benefits, including lower risks of heart disease, cancer mortality, dementia, diabetes, depression, and falls.

That's right - walking for health is more achievable than ever, and every step counts! Find a walking group and learn more about the incredible benefits of walking at https://walkwithadoc.org

“Walk With A Doctor” edisi Ogos 2025

Terima kasih pihak Bintulu Car Free Morning dan Bintulu Development Authority yang memberi peluang untuk kami membuat ‘sharing session’ serta berjalan bersama-sama peserta BCFM pagi ini.

Sedikit ‘recap’ tentang perkongsian topik kesihatan pagi tadi :
1) Nyanyuk/dementia/ penyakit lupa BUKAN proses penuaan yang normal
2) 8.5% warga emas Malaysia mengalami ‘dementia’
3) 5 langkah untuk mengurangkan risiko ‘dementia’ :
- pemakanan sihat
- aktif ( 7000 langkah/hari boleh menurunkan risiko dementia sebanyak 38%)
- stimulasi mental/otak : belajar benda baru, banyakkan membaca , sudoku, jigsaw puzzle dsbnya
- aktiviti sosial yang positif
- kestabilan penyakit kardiovaskular ( hypertension, diabetes, hypercholestetolaemia dsbnya)

Ya, kita boleh kurangkan risiko dementia dengan ‘ healthy lifestyle’… bukannya bergantung dengan supplements !

Semoga perkongsian kesihatan pagi tadi dapat memberi sedikit kesedaran mengenai ‘ dementia’.

Terima kasih Dr Saira ( Pakar Perubatan, Kemena Pacific Hospital), Dr Ayuni dan Dr Izzul ( Jabatan Psikiatri, Hospital Bintulu) yang turun padang untuk aktiviti pagi ini.

Jumpa lagi di edisi October nanti!

Yes , we need that ‘digital ‘ break

Want to stay mentally fresh in a digitally overloaded world?
Here’s a tip most people don’t know:

✨ Look out the window for 40–60 seconds every hour.
That’s it. No scrolling. No switching apps. Just gaze into the distance.

Why does this work?

🔹 It gives your brain a micro-reset from screen focus
🔹 It relaxes your visual system and reduces eye strain
🔹 It activates your parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” mode)

This simple habit is proven to restore attention, improve mood, and lower stress—without needing to “escape” your environment.

The best part?
You don’t need an app for this. Just a window, a pause, and your willingness to breathe.

Try it today.
👇 Then come back and tell us how it made you feel.

Putra Drug-free Run 2025

This morning, we had the pleasure of attending this event organised by an inspiring group of university students.

The theme “Drug-free” resonates one of the 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine i.e Avoidance of risky substance ( alcohol, to***co, recreational drugs).

Substance use disorder is a sign, a signal and a symptom of distress (Alice Miller, Psychologist & Psychoanalyst). Hence , it is crucial for us to identify and refer for early intervention.

Kudos to the organisers and all participants… yes…drug-free and active lifestyle is Medicine !

Thank you to Mr Asfar and team Universiti Putra Malaysia Kampus Bintulu Sarawak - UPMKB, for allowing us to join at the last minute.

Thank you to Dr Ayub and Dr Ayunie from Psychiatry Department, Hospital Bintulu , and Dr Awang from U.n.i Klinik Bintulu…. For your presence, time and support.

Hope to have more community engagement in future Walk With A Doc activity.
