Health Tips

1)Prevent common infections such as food poisoning and Hepatitis A, wash your hands with soap and water, especially after using the bathroom and before eating.
2)Build strong bones! Eat calcium-rich foods such as low-fat yoghurt and milk, cheese and green leafy vegetables.
3)If you are thinking of taking dietary supplements -- think again. All we need to do is to follow the Healthy Diet Pyramid and have a balanced diet. And we will have the nutrients our body needs without taking the pills.
4)Cancers are the main cause of death in Singapore. Not all cancers are preventable but you can detect them early by knowing and recognising the symptoms, and going for regular check-ups.
