If you needed another reason to lead a healthy lifestyle, here it is. A study show that Singaporeans may be living longer now, but they are also sick for more years than people in some other countries. The main culprits are heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes and even mental illness.
An average Singapore woman should live to 81.8 but she will spend eight of these years ill or disabled. Men will spend eight of their 78 years in poor health.
A lot of suffering and premature deaths comes from diseases that could be prevented – such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Some cancers too can be detected early.
There should be more public education on how these aliments can be prevented and screening to catch problems like diabetes and cancer early. People should take ownership of their health if they want to keep such illnesses at bay. Best advice is to go for regular screening, eat more vegetables, less salt and do more exercise; that could cut down the number of years you suffer from ill health.
Women as compared to men have the tendency to be knocked out by disease like diabetes, neurological, musculoskeletal, and mental and cancer; though women live longer life span. Men should also take a leaf from their wives. Women all over the world live longer and healthier lives. They smoke less, exercising more and being more health conscious than men. As for Japan, its explanation is the low rate of cardiovascular disease comes from their high-in-fish diets.
Let’s eat more fish and less meat, starting from today!
But that does not mean that I like to live to 81.8 years and spend eight of these years suffering from illness and disability. I rather live to 60 years in good health; it is not the quantity but the quality of life that is important.
