We were deeply honoured to be invited to take part in the RSN Sailor Health Day. A heartfelt thank you to long serving Executive Committee (EXCO) Dr Deidre De Silva for delivering the message on stroke awareness to our civil servants. Her sharing served as a powerful reminder of why early understanding and prevention matter so deeply.
It was a day to better understand our metabolic health and the steps we can take to maintain it. One key insight was the use of the healthy plate model for portioning meals. This method suggests that our plate should consist of ½ fruits and vegetables, ¼ carbohydrates, and ¼ protein. This simple visual guide helps us maintain balanced meals and supports healthier eating habits in a practical, easy-to-follow way.
We are truly grateful to the Republic of Singapore Navy for the warm invitation and generous hospitality, which gave us the opportunity to share not only about stroke but also the often unseen challenge of social isolation that many stroke survivors face in their recovery journey.
Most of all, we thank everyone who took the time to stop by our booth, listen, ask questions and share in the commitment to understanding stroke.
