Wellness and Fitness.

Last Saturday, I went for a talk organised by PA again. It is a talk about Wellness and Fitness. It last about 5Hrs (Talk + Health Screening).

This round, they invite a Doctor from Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre. He speciality Area is in cardiology (Heart). He told us what kind of excerises we should choose. In food there is food pyramid, and in wellness and fitness, there is pyramid as well.

Then he mentioned that a day we should spend 30 mins in excerise. Some people are damn busy, so they will say 30mins??? NO TIME! So nevermind, just split this 30 mins into 10 - 15 mins each time. That means, 15mins x 2 times = 30mins. you can do excerise twice a day in a short time flame.

He also talk about how to manage our physical and mentally stress and go towards a balance lifestyle. There is 10 tips for this....... but I can't remember. Is all in the note, and the note is not with me now.

During Q & A session, somebody asked him about supplement. Should we take supplement? According to this doctor, he said:" In the market, how many supplements have really gone through anaylsis and have a proven reports on the products?" Then he shaked his head and said :"I don't know." He said he don't think there is a need to take supplement, but if we really want to take it. We can try the products for about 3 mths. If we feel after taking it, we feel better, then we can continue. If not, just stop and don't waste anymore money in it. He say the same thing in glucosamine......

Yes, this is not the 1st time I hear this........ supplement without proven reports are plenty in the market.

Beside Doctor, they also invited a 营养学家 to talk about how to eat, what to eat and when to eat in daily. She mentioned we can eat many times a day, but in small amount of food. She suggested us to take 3 meals a day and snacks 3 times a day too (少吃多餐)........ Those who like to snack like me will be very happy. Haha.

In the morning, we must take our breakfast within an hour after wake up. This period is very important to restore our nutrious back to our body and is to balance our blood sugar. She emphaise in balance our blood sugar. If our blood sugar imbalance, it will lead to many illness. We should eat something after every 4 hrs and each time, we should beware what we take in.

Beside talks, they provide us a FOC basic health screening..... those very basic one lah and of course I take lor. My health screening had done 3 years back, and I think is time to check again lah. They also provide us breakfast and lunch...... Very good hor! Hehe..... Their main purpose is to let us mingle around at the same time.......... they really 用心良苦...............

These talks are very brief and believe many people know this knowledge......... but no harm to listen again as an awareness. We are busy with things each day, so tends to forget those small small things. Then I can translate to my students / friends / family too....... Why not. :)

Of course if there is somemore talk, I am happy to attend.............

P/S: I didn't write out much point overhere, because I forgotten many points..... haha........
