💧 Hydration: The Foundation of Your Energy

Feeling tired, foggy, or moody? Sometimes, your body isn’t asking for rest — it’s asking for water. Every system in your body depends on hydration: your brain to think clearly, your muscles to perform, and your skin to stay healthy and fresh.

Start your day with a glass of water before anything else. Keep a bottle nearby and take sips throughout the day. It’s the easiest, most natural way to boost your energy and keep your body in balance.

Follow traffic laws
Road crashes claim over one million lives around the world and millions more are injured. Road traffic injuries are preventable through a variety of measures implemented by the government such as strong legislation and enforcement, safer infrastructure and vehicle standards, and improved post-crash care. You yourself can also prevent road crashes by ensuring that you follow traffic laws such as using the seatbelt for adults and child restraint for your kids, wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle or bicycle, not drinking and driving, and not using your mobile phone while driving.

Check your blood pressure regularly
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is called a “silent killer”. This is because many people who have hypertension may not be aware of the problem as it may not have any symptoms. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can lead to heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. Have your blood pressure checked regularly by a health worker so you know your numbers. If your blood pressure is high, get the advice of a health worker. This is vital in the prevention and control of hypertension.

Be active
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. This includes exercise and activities undertaken while working, playing, carrying out household chores, travelling, and engaging in recreational pursuits. The amount of physical activity you need depends on your age group but adults aged 18-64 years should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week. Increase moderate-intensity physical activity to 300 minutes per week for additional health benefits.

Eat less salt
no more than 6g a day for adults
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.
Even if you do not add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much.
About three-quarters of the salt you eat is already in the food when you buy it, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and sauces.
Use food labels to help you cut down. More than 1.5g of salt per 100g means the food is high in salt.
Adults and children aged 11 and over should eat no more than 6g of salt (about a teaspoonful) a day. Younger children should have even less.

Vitamin D Deficiency: The Sunshine Vitamin You Might Be Missing
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. Yet, many people around the world are deficient, often without realizing it.

Why It Matters:
Low levels of vitamin D can lead to weak bones, frequent infections, fatigue, muscle pain, and even mood changes. Severe deficiency may increase the risk of osteoporosis and other chronic conditions.

Sources of Vitamin D:

Sunlight: Just 10–30 minutes of sun exposure a few times a week can help.

Food: Fatty fish, eggs, fortified milk, and mushrooms are great sources.

Supplements: When recommended by a healthcare provider.

Quick Tip:
If you spend most of your time indoors or live in areas with limited sunlight, talk to your doctor about checking your vitamin D levels. A simple test and early intervention can prevent long-term complications.

Hypertension: The Silent Killer
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is one of the most common health conditions worldwide — and often goes unnoticed because it may not cause obvious symptoms. Left untreated, it can damage your heart, brain, kidneys, and arteries.

Why It’s Dangerous:

Increases risk of heart disease and stroke

Can lead to kidney failure

May cause vision problems

Often has no warning signs until complications appear

Prevention & Management:

Reduce salt intake in your diet

Stay physically active (150 minutes of moderate activity weekly)

Maintain a healthy weight

Avoid smoking and limit alcohol

Check your blood pressure regularly

👉 Remember: Early detection and lifestyle changes can save lives. If you haven’t had your blood pressure checked recently, make it a priority today.

Peanut Allergy: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment
Peanut allergy is one of the most common food allergies, especially in children, and can cause severe reactions. Unlike tree nuts, peanuts are legumes, but cross-reactions can occur in some cases.

Common Symptoms Include:

Hives, redness, or itching

Swelling of lips, face, or throat

Stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting

Breathing difficulties or wheezing

Anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening reaction)

Diagnosis & Treatment:
Peanut allergy is diagnosed through skin or blood allergy testing. The only proven treatment is strict avoidance of peanuts and peanut-containing products. People with severe allergies should always carry an epinephrine auto-injector in case of accidental exposure.

Shellfish Allergy: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Shellfish is the most common food allergy in U.S. adults, affecting about 3% of adults and 1% of children. It includes crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster) and mollusks (clams, mussels, oysters).

If you're allergic to one type of shellfish, you may react to others in the same group. This is different from a fish allergy.

Watch for symptoms like:

Hives, swelling, or itching

Stomach pain or vomiting

Breathing trouble

Anaphylaxis (a severe, life-threatening reaction)

Diagnosis is done through allergy testing. Treatment involves avoiding shellfish and carrying epinephrine for emergencies.

Shellfish allergy
What symptoms you should watch for and how it’s diagnosed and treated
Shellfish is the leading cause of self-reported food allergy in U.S. adults. It affects about 3% of adults and just over 1% of children.
People with a shellfish allergy can react to one or more foods in the same shellfish family. This is different than having an allergy to fin fish.
Some types of seafood look alike to the body. For instance, if you're allergic to one crustacean (like shrimp, crab, lobster), you're more likely to be allergic to another. Something similar is also seen with mollusks.

Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
Saturated fat
You need some fat in your diet, but it's important to pay attention to the amount and type of fat you're eating.
There are 2 main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases your risk of developing heart disease.
On average, men should have no more than 30g of saturated fat a day. On average, women should have no more than 20g of saturated fat a day.
Children under the age of 11 should have less saturated fat than adults, but a low-fat diet is not suitable for children under 5. In addition, full-fat dairy products, such as cheese, fromage frais and yoghurt, are recommended up to the age of 2 years.
Saturated fat is found in many foods, such as:
fatty cuts of meat
sausages
butter
hard cheese
cream
cakes
biscuits
lard
pies
Try to eat less saturated fat and choose foods that contain unsaturated fats instead, such as vegetable oils and spreads, oily fish and avocados.
For a healthier choice, use a small amount of vegetable or olive oil, or reduced-fat spread instead of butter, lard or ghee.
When you're having meat, choose lean cuts and cut off any visible fat.
All types of fat are high in energy, so they should only be eaten in small amounts.
