Health Actually with Dina

1.1.2023 Supposed to sum up 2022 on the last day but was having more fun with friends. I guess that’s the whole idea. Enjoying life first and document later. 🤭
As I was spending the last 1hr putting all the photos of 2022 in a collage. There’s so many good old memories, I wish I could squeeze all 10000+ photos in one collage. But Meitu kept crashing on me. So these are the ones who make it 😅
2022 has been such an eventful year for me if there’s only one word to describe: it has nothing but a LEARNING YEAR for me.
I say it’s a learning year because not only I have attended the most number of courses in this year but I learn so much from all the different events and opportunities. From the people I dealt with and also from trying new stuffs, exposed to new modalities to support my own self development, belief systems and of course healthy aging journey.
I had lots of ups and downs running the business alone. That’s the toughest part for me. Feeling lonely most of the time. Last one month of the year has been extremely eventful as I was having second thoughts for a while and doubtful of where I am heading.
But it seems Universe already set the agenda for me. December 2022 marks a special month for me with lots of Gifting and Receiving. Gifting where I shared all my knowledge in achieving health goals and microgreens to the most number of people in this month alone than the entire year.
Receiving as in lessons I found working with my coaching clients and Microgreen students who have connected with me more deeply than some. As people think that I am doing them a favour by sharing my knowledge, they have actually also reminded me many lessons as I found reflections of myself in them where I need to improve, to work on and to be grateful for.
To all who have been there for me and paths crossed in 2022, thank you for all your support and love and lessons.
I wish all of you who have are following me on this social media page, good health and a magnificent year ahead!
Let’s all strive to make progress however small it will be! One needle move is also progress! 💪😘

Getting back to the gym after 2 weeks of busy-ness 🤣

Realized this statement for the first time at the ActiveSG Gym I went to.

“𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐲. ~ 𝐖𝐇𝐎”

So spot on. Who agrees? 🙋🏻‍♀️

The boys first DIY anyhow sushi lunch. They looooove it. I love it cos the boys have a chance to get calcium and magnesium boost thru wholefood. 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓮𝓪𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓭

It is my favorite plant based source of calcium because seaweed are high in both magnesium and calcium. Magnesium helps the body to better absorb calcium.

Naturally occurring minerals are readily absorbable form which allows good absorption and utilisation by the body. 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐝!

In case you are taking calcium supplement, make sure it comes with magnesium.

Rice is cooked with Soup De Excel Vege Powder (made with 11 kind of freeze dry whole vegetables) and my favourite Red Boat Fish Sauce. PM me to get friends of VerduraPod price ☺️

The rest are whatever available in the fridge.

It was World Health Coach Day on 16.8.2022 also my Birthday! Proud to be an integrative nutrition health coach.

My favorite brand from Wanting kimchi. Spicy and shiok.

But the best For me: No MSG, Minimum sugar used and made with love and consciousness.

This is not a sponsored ad. 😂
I just care about my food sources.

It's getting real....

The truth is, dementia is a very big problem that’s becoming bigger every day.

What’s the link between Alzheimer’s and diabetes?

Well, new research shows insulin resistance, or what I call diabesity (from eating too many carbs and sugar and not enough fat) is one of the major factors that starts the brain-damage cascade, which robs the memory of over half the people in their 80s, leading to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Here’s the bad news/good news.

Eating sugar and refined carbs can cause pre-dementia and dementia. But cutting out the sugar and refined carbs and adding lots of fat can prevent, and even reverse, pre-dementia and early dementia. Sugar causes pre-diabetes and diabetes, which often leads to significant memory loss.

Chronic stress takes a toll on your body and brain. Stress shrinks the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. So, find your pause button every day and make time for some stress relief. Relaxation isn’t a luxury if you want to prevent or reverse dementia. Whether that involves deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, find something that helps you calm down.

Lack of sleep can cause impaired brain function, leading to CRAFT syndrome, which stands for “can’t remember a _____ thing.” Studies show poor sleep becomes a risk factor for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Aim for at least 8 hours of quality sleep every night.

We now know that physical activity can prevent and even slow down the progression of cognitive decline and brain diseases like dementia. Even a 30-minute walk can help. More active readers might want to incorporate high-intensity interval training or weight lifting.

The brand that I trust and use for myself and family that went thru proper testing instead of just talk.

The product that I know the founder takes pride in sourcing for quality ingredients (all plant based) and even tested for heavy metals (therefore organic)

The packaging which comes in concentrated form to help to reduce plastic wastage. Doing a part for Mother Earth (Seems expensive but it can be used for long time)

For my friends, students, clients or anyone, check out using this code “Verdura10” for further discount on top of sale price when buying for the first time.

Following my “no excuses post” on cut fruits from fruit stalls For convenience.

Now, Ntuc FairPrice (and few other supermarkets even dddk) are offering mixed vegetables cut for you options.

Cos some might say nutrient loss etc, but compared to not eating at all, which is better? You don’t even need to have chopping board or knife. 😂
