Feeling guilty that you’ve already over-indulged in those Chinese New Year pineapple tarts, love letters and BakKwa over the past few days?

Most probably, you have, and you are feeling guilty about it. This is especially the case, if your New Year Resolutions on the first of January were to improve your health or do exercise regularly.

Instead of wallowing in despair at your increasing waistline and your inability to fit into those skinny jeans, you can get your health goals back on track – with a couple of Year of the Dog themed ActiveSG programmes that will be taking place over the coming days – at the Our Tampines Hub and the Heartbeat@Bedok.

Other Tips from ActiveSG

Besides the upcoming ActiveSG classes, some other tips to get your health goals  back on track, during this period, could include the following:

• Get at least six to eight hours of sleep per day, so that you can look more radiant and feel more energetic. I am sure that the last thing that you want is for your relatives and friends to say that you are looking sluggish and exhausted during all of those house visits.
• Switch your phone off before bed and only respond to your messages in the morning will helps you to get a more restful sleep.
• Eat your meals and snacks slowly. This prevents you from over-eating. For example, do not shove the whole piece of pineapple tart into your mouth at one go. Instead, take three or four bites and chew it slowly.
• Choose water or low sugar drinks, rather than alcohol or fizzy soft drinks.
• Talk to your loved ones face to face, instead of communicating by WhatsApp. This is so that you can get some exercise when you’re walking over to see the person.
• Take the stairs rather than the lift to get some exercise into your day.
