Last Saturday, we conducted our second Namaste Care workshop for caregivers. We were encouraged to see caregivers taking the time and effort to deepen their understanding of person-centred care, while learning practical ways to better engage and support their loved ones with dementia or chronic illnesses.

Several participants also shared their caregiving journeys, reflecting how the workshop brought fresh perspectives and a meaningful shift in their approach moving forward. ☺️

We are truly inspired by their dedication and love. Together, we can build a more compassionate and supportive caregiving community. ❤️ 💪🏻

Did you know that difficulty chewing or swallowing, or having fewer teeth, can be early warning signs linked to sarcopenia, malnutrition, and physical frailty? These signs are often overlooked, but at the 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 (𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐭) 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜, they are identified and addressed early as part of coordinated care that goes beyond the usual exercise and nutrition.

Inspired by a study trip to Japan, the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) started the geriatrician-led clinic, to tackle the growing concern for this silent disease in rapidly ageing Singapore.

🎙️𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮 — 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵

Sarcopenia is the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength that happens as we age, typically starting around age 30. It is more common than you might think and can significantly impact mobility, independence and quality of life.

This condition affects how we climb stairs, carry groceries, maintain balance, and perform everyday activities. Without intervention, we can lose 3-8% of our muscle mass per decade after age 30, accelerating after age 60.

The good news is, sarcopenia is largely preventable and manageable!

Learn tips on how to protect your muscle health from Geriatric Medicine Consultant Dr Daphne Yang from Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), NHG Health. Today's interview with 96.3好FM host Teck Ming Ong covers practical prevention strategies, warning signs to watch for, and evidence-based approaches to maintaining strength throughout life.

The conversation transforms this important health topic into actionable insights you can use today — whether you're planning for your own healthy ageing journey or supporting family members.

Check out the full interview clip below for expert advice on staying strong and independent as you age!
