Dear ROHSI Community,

As we embark on a new year, let’s prioritise our health. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol are often called “silent killers” because they can develop without noticeable symptoms.

In 2025, we want us all to see the reason why adopting healthy living matters:

Going for early medical screening/detection saves lives: You going for your regular medical checkups is crucial for early detection and management of NCDs, especially hypertension, diabetes, and others.

It helps in adopting preventative measures! Adopting a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce your risk of developing or worsening these conditions.

Improved Quality of Life! Healthy habits lead to increased energy levels, better sleep, and an overall improved quality of life.

What are the steps to a healthier 2025?

Healthy eating! Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive salt intake.

Regular Exercise! Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise most days of the week. You can start with 30 minutes and, with time, increase it to more minutes.

Maintain a Healthy Weight! If you are overweight or obese, consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice on weight management.

Manage your stress! Practicing stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature, or taking your mind off those activities that can lead to stress, will go a long way in making you healthy.

Regular Checkups! Seat with your medical team, schedule, and attend regular medical checkups, including blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol screenings, among other recommended tests. All towards your wellness

Remember this! Making small, sustainable changes to your lifestyle can have a significant impact on your overall health, and consulting with a healthcare professional for personalised advice and support will go a long way in some of the avoidable health crises that can threaten our health and wellness as we age.

Lastly, always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for any health concerns or before making any decisions regarding your health.

Let’s make 2025 a year of prioritising our health and well-being.

Sincerely,

The ROHSI Management Team
