A taste of the sweet life
Who would have thought that ‘sweet’ would factor into a solution for people with diabetes and their lifestyles? Recently, diabetics as well as their caregivers and healthcare professionals gathered at the launch of The Sweet Life Club, a 24/7 resource on managing diabetes available only in the Philippines.
Fighting weight gain due to stress
In today’s busy world, stress is virtually impossible to avoid. Whether it’s facing grueling work hours or shuffling through an endless list of tasks, every urbanite is confronted with the pressures of day-to-day living. Unfortunately, anxiety can and does disrupt one’s mental well being as well as physical state.
Watching your eating habits
Nutritional health and mental health go together. Mentally healthy people have the capacity to feed themselves well. Well-nourished people experience none of the nutrient deficiencies that might contribute to poor mental health. By the same token, when either type of health is impaired, both may be affected. People with mental and emotional problems often have poor diets; and people who are malnourished are often in poor mental health. Take a look at this connection: When you are experiencing anxiety, don’t you lose your appetite or overeat or worse, eat unbalanced meals full of junk foods? Temporary anxiety may be easier to handle but chronic stress can lead to damaging lifestyle and eating habits.
