Happy to launch the 2012 National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign at Gardens by the Bay this morning.
We have been promoting healthy lifestyles for 20 years. We have made progress – more people are exercising, fewer are smoking and Singaporeans are generally more conscious of staying fit and healthy. But unfortunately more people are becoming obese, with fast foods and sedentary occupations. In the US and UK, obesity has become an epidemic. If we don’t want to end up like that, we need to watch what we eat and find ways to exercise more.
For myself, I enjoy brisk walks and also swim to keep fit. I take the stairs rather than the lift whenever I can. Every little bit counts. Why not try the Health Promotion Board’s new online tool -- the Healthy Lifestyle Index (www.healthylifestyleindex.sg) – for some personalised advice on how you can improve your health! :) - LHL
