If you are a career woman who also manages to manage a growing family, life can be tough and that can mean a compromise on your daily habits, for the sake of convenience. If you commute to Bangkok from a suburb, you probably spend a couple of hours in your car every day, and with that in mind, here are a few tips for a healthier lifestyle.
- Eye care – You should make an appointment to have ulthera ยกหางตา tests at a leading Bangkok eye clinic. If you spend hours a day glued to a computer screen, this can put a tremendous strain on your eyes and regular examinations are the order of the day.
- Full medical examination – It might cost a few thousand baht, but the peace of mind you get from a full health check is well worth the cost. This should be an annual activity, screening for all women’s diseases, including STIs.
- Make the best use of available technology – How can tech help you have a healthier lifestyle? Start by Googling ‘organic farms near me’ and you can order a weekly delivery of organically grown fruit and vegetables. You can download a few of the health apps found on Play Store to help measure fitness and performance; some are free because they have ads inserted, while others are subscription only.
- Daily workout – We all need a daily workout to exercise the major muscle groups and it is easy to fall into a routine of physical inactivity. If you have time, you can take out a subscription at a local gym, or you could invest in a few weights and workouts at home; either way, your overall health will suffer without daily exercise.
- Take up yoga & meditation – Thailand is home to the Buddhist religion, where people meditate to reduce the stress that 21st-century life can manifest. Prepare a corner at home and place a few Buddha statues, and some jasmine flowers, which you should replace daily and create a quiet area of meditation. Some people mistakenly think that to meditate, one must clear one’s mind and think of nothing, which is actually impossible to do! Click here for an interesting article on how best to manage stress.
- Natural make-up – Many beauty products contain ingredients that can be harmful when used over a long period of time; indeed, there are many blogs online that highlight the benefits of using make-up products made from natural ingredients. Search online for natural beauty products and you can order via their website.
- Take a daily vitamin & mineral supplement – A busy lifestyle can lead to a diet that is incomplete and if you are lacking in essential vitamins or minerals, it can lead to catching a cold or other virus. The A-Z supplement is recommended for those over 50, but we think people of all ages should take a daily supplement.
One should never take one’s health & well-being for granted and we hope that the above tips help you stay healthy while enjoying a long and successful career.
