Subject:Β Health is Wealth!

Helloooooo thereeee People!


"Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship" - Buddha


Do you know that the average person's heart beats about 100,000 times per day? ❀


As we celebrate the International Health Day on 7th April next, how about we revisit some good old habits that can add up a few years to our lives? 😜

  • Stay hydrated πŸ’§πŸ₯€

  • Stay active at work - take short walks during your breaks, or/and stretch at your desk πŸšΆπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸšΆπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

  • Mindful eating - we know we cannot stop snacking during working hours but we can opt for some healthy ones such as nuts, fruits, yoghurt... 🍎πŸ₯πŸ

  • Work-life balance - we know there is a lot to do at work but taking some time for leisure or prioritising some family time will eventually benefit you more that you can imagine βœˆπŸ›ΆπŸͺ

Wishing you all a Happy International Health Day and don't forget to take care of yourself πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š
