Happy Dietitians' Day 2026! 🍎🥬🍗🥛

Today we celebrate the dietitians who help guide us towards better health through nutrition — starting with our gut.

Did you know that your gut does more than just digest food? It also plays a key role in your overall wellbeing.

One way to support it? Postbiotics —inactive friendly bacteria and yeast as well as the helpful substances they produce during fermentation that help us maintain a healthy gut environment. Postbiotics can come from foods like yoghurt, kimchi, tempeh and other fermented favourites.

A healthier gut can support better digestion, nutrient absorption, stronger immunity and your overall wellness —helping to nourish our bodies from the inside out.

Last Saturday, we brought together patients, families and care teams to mark World Hearing Day with a special gathering!

Participants learnt more about hearing implants and the difference they can make for individuals with severe hearing loss. Our ENT surgeons and audiologists also shared insights into how they support patients throughout their hearing journey.

The afternoon also offered an opportunity for patients and families to connect with their care teams, share experiences and celebrate the milestones made possible through restored hearing.

Since 2015, we have established an adult hearing implant programme offering cochlear implants and bone conduction implants for suitable patients, particularly those with severe to profound hearing loss or who do not benefit from conventional hearing aids. Over the years, the programme has been supported by the JurongHealth Fund and helped more patients access hearing restoration.

Post-CNY reset? 👍 Our Senior Dietitian Ng Hi Ming gives it a thumbs up!

After festive feasting — just like after Christmas — it’s common to feel bloated, thirsty or more tired than usual. Larger portions can cause digestive discomfort, while richer foods and alcohol may affect hydration and energy levels.

The good news? You can adjust your eating habits to care for the body gently after feasting. Learn how to gradually returning to healthy eating habits and having adequate hydration in this 96.3好FM podcast - https://for.sg/ntfgh-963-healthy-eating-after-festive-feasting

Wishing everyone a year filled with good health, happiness and lasting blessings!

When hearing fades, the world can begin to feel smaller. With early diagnosis, timely intervention and the right support, it doesn’t have to remain that way.

This World Hearing Day on 3 March, we recognise the resilience of individuals who have taken steps towards better hearing — whether through hearing aids, cochlear implants or rehabilitation.

Discover how cochlear implantation supported our patient Mr Justin Foo’s return to active participation in daily activities. Read more in this Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报 article – https://for.sg/world-hearing-day-2026-feature-article

As we mark World Hearing Day, let us continue to raise awareness, encourage early action and advocate for accessible hearing care for all!
