Yes! Protein takes longer time to digest, which means it keeps you feeling full for longer. But here’s the catch: it’s not just about eating more protein, it’s about choosing the right type and the right portion.
𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀
🍽️ Choose minimally processed proteins such as legumes, tofu, nuts, seeds, fish, and seafood.
🥩 Choose lean cuts of meat like loin and tenderloin.
🍗 Choose chicken without the skin for a leaner option.
𝗜𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?
Even with healthy foods, portion size matters. Eating too much can make it harder to manage weight and
calories effectively.

High blood pressure (hypertension) happens when the force of blood against your artery walls stays too high over time. It’s often called the “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms until it causes serious health problems.
You can lower your risk and keep your numbers in a safe range through everyday habits. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴:

According to Dr Tim Armstrong from the WHO Department of Chronic Diseases and Health Promotion, Noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes account for 35 million deaths each year. And these diseases have common risk factors. By avoiding these risk factors in the first place, by preventing the risk factors, we can prevent the majority of deaths due to those diseases.
Dr Tim Armstrong believes prevention is the best answer to the problem. We can prevent these diseases by small changes in people's behaviour and lifestyle habits. The health benefits of lifestyle interventions are there, they are real, they are measured and they are cost-effective.
Columbia Asia believes in creating the right environment and facilitating them at corporates and individuals for these interventions to be effective. It’s our mission to work towards creating the right environment for our corporate clients in which their employees can make healthy choices.
We have been providing our corporate clients with a variety of wellness programs (health talks, on sight screening, events and etc.) for more than a decade now. We have evolved and now offer our Clients a more sustainable wellness initiative.
In October 2016 we gathered a team of experts to design what we have come to call A Make-A-Difference Lifestyle Modification and Health Intervention Program.
On February 2017 we launched our first pilot project in collaboration with one of Malaysia’s leading GLCs and our partner TPA (PM Care). The result was astonishingly positive and that motivated us to move further in our initiatives with a more comprehensive and inclusive program called: “Corporate Health Transformation Program”.
