The most common reason people give for not exercising is that they have other obligations or that they are too exhausted. Most of us work or study for several hours each day while seated at our desks. Such a sedentary way of life raises the risk of obesity and has negative health effects on individuals4. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is advised by the World Health Organization (WHO) that we engage in frequent, moderate physical exercise for up to 30 minutes each day4.3. Keep eyes healthy
Often, we promise ourselves we’ll get more exercise, eat a healthier diet, or drink less. And that’s all great, especially since they all benefit our eyes.

4. Eat Healthier
We all know that consuming sufficient fruits and vegetables in our daily diet is essential to maintaining good overall health. But for the majority of us, it feels like it’s easier said than done. Based on a National Nutrition Survey conducted in 2010, the study found that 9 out of 10 Singaporeans do not consume enough fruits and vegetables5. People have no control over the cooking processes used in these eateries, particularly when they frequently dine out because it is convenient or they have lengthy working hours. Much of the fiber content in vegetables and fruits is contained in the pulp. In addition, heat damages the structure of vegetables which renders varying amounts of their fiber useless to your body7. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will get a sufficient green intake which can increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies, weight gain and chronic diseases6. We’ve got what you need!

A standard alcoholic drink is defined as one can (330ml) of regular beer, half a glass (175ml) of wine and one shot (35ml) of spirit9. Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of chronic diseases and other serious problems.
