“Thank you so much for coming yaa 🥰 u guys are awesomee! Jumpa lagi nanti”

It may sound like a simple message, but it truly meant a lot to us 💙
It reminds us why we keep doing what we do, sharing health and nutrition knowledge with the community and our younger generation.

With childhood obesity continuing to rise in Malaysia, we believe that starting health education early matters more than ever. Thank you SMK Tunku Puan Habsah for the warm support, amazing energy, and invitation ✨ Hope to see everyone again soon!

🍌We all know fruits are very accessible in Malaysia, and the recommended intake is about 2 servings of fruits daily 🍎🥭

But have you ever wondered… what does 1 serving of fruit actually look like? 👀

Check this simple guide to some common fruit serving sizes to help you better estimate your daily intake and make fruit choices more mindful and balanced ✨

Fruits are not only refreshing in Malaysia’s warm weather, but they also make great snack options to help replenish energy, provide hydration, and add important vitamins, minerals, and fibre to our diet. 🌞💧🧊

Not all developmental differences are caused by parenting. 💙

Conditions like autism, ADHD, speech and developmental delays are neurodevelopmental—they are part of how a child’s brain grows and develops.

Early signs are not something to fear.
They are important signals that help children get identified earlier—and receive the right support to learn, grow, and thrive.

In Malaysia, many children are still undiagnosed or not receiving early intervention.
Early understanding can make a life-changing difference.

If you have concerns about your child’s development, don’t wait—support starts with awareness.

A meaningful day at Green Parade 2.0 💚

In celebration of World Health Day, our Community Health team came together through this special initiative, guided by the NEWSTART wellness concept: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust.

Through our NEWSTART display boards, we shared simple yet powerful lifestyle habits that support both mental and physical well-being.

In addition, activities ranged from kids’ developmental screenings at our WAW Truck to adult health checks by our beloved Adventist College of Nursing and Health Sciences - ACNHS nurses and CHAs, as well as mental health booths by Befrienders Penang & Malaysian Mental Health Association. Every step made a difference. Special thanks to Viatris for supporting us with Reparil spray during the walk event and the educational board.

Thank you for being part of this journey towards better mental health for all.

With appreciation to OatLife, Suu Balm, Eucerin 🙌

Eating 2 eggs a day and calling it “high protein”? 🤔

No doubt eggs are a Malaysian favourite; they're affordable, accessible, and nutritious! But when it comes to supporting muscle growth and meeting your daily protein needs, 2 eggs are simply not enough.🥚

Protein plays a key role in building and maintaining muscle, supporting recovery, and keeping you fuller for longer. 🫛

That’s why we’ve put together a simple guide on how to hit 80g of protein without any meat.
Let’s check it out! 💪🏽
