Top three healthy ageing highlights this week.
Hi there!
This is Jing, founder of ALLSET.
Top Three Healthy Ageing Highlights
👋🏻 A quick introduction if you’re new here.
I highlight three key insights on healthy ageing each week to accelerate Singapore’s reduction of the health span versus lifespan gap.
If you are aware of any information I should include, please email me. 🙏🏻
Otherwise, here goes:
1. More Younger People in Singapore Developing Heart Conditions
Heart disease is the top cause of death in Singapore, accounting for almost a third of deaths in 2023.
Earlier this week, CNA reported concerning trends:
The number of heart attacks is projected to continue rising
Younger people are experiencing heart problems
These problems can lead to more serious conditions later in life
If you're looking for actionable takeaways to improve your heart health, check out the following two points.
2. Most Asked Questions on Heart Health
I published my podcast episode with cardiologist Dr Koh Choong Hou this week.
Our chat covers heart health basics that many people remain unaware of, including:
gender differences
most-searched technical terms
endurance event fatalities
Brief show notes and other podcast formats are available here.
3. Three Types of Strength Training for Menopause and Which One’s For You
One of the effects of menopausal hormonal is changes in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and heart disease is the number one killer of women in Singapore.
Find the answer in my latest article, ‘Three Types of Strength Training for Menopause’ and learn about the specific nature of each training type, plus how to choose the right one for yourself.
