Raffles Medical, in partnership with American International Hospital, was pleased to host a meaningful and engaging community health talk on “Optimising Health and Extending Life”, attended by members of the local and expatriate community with a shared interest in preventive health, healthy ageing, and holistic wellbeing.
As conversations around longevity and quality of life continue to grow globally, the session focused on practical and evidence-based approaches to living not only longer, but healthier and more fulfilling lives. Participants gained valuable insights into how preventive healthcare, lifestyle habits, nutrition, movement, sleep, and resilience play an important role in reducing chronic disease risks and supporting long-term wellbeing.
We were delighted to have Dr. Jadranka Mihajlovic, Raffles Specialist, share her expertise on preventive and lifestyle-focused healthcare. Dr. Jadranka highlighted the importance of healthy ageing through balanced nutrition, restorative sleep, hormonal and metabolic health, stress management, and sustainable daily habits that contribute to lifelong wellness.
The session also featured Mr. Maik Berger, Sport and Performance Scientist and co- founder of My Body Health, who shared valuable perspectives on the critical role of movement, exercise, muscle strength, and physical resilience in maintaining health and vitality, particularly in today’s increasingly sedentary lifestyle. His presentation reinforced how regular physical activity and muscle health are essential in preventing chronic disease and supporting functional independence as we age.
The event concluded with an interactive discussion and networking session, where attendees had the opportunity to engage with the speakers and exchange perspectives on health optimisation and preventive care.
Raffles Medical and American International Hospital remain committed to supporting community wellness through educational initiatives that empower individuals to take proactive steps towards healthier living and better long-term health outcomes.
