Rest isn’t laziness. 🌿

Your body needs time to recover from work, exercise, stress and everyday demands.

You don’t always have to push harder. Sometimes, you need to pause.

Sitting for hours may feel harmless, but your body still needs movement. 👀

Break up long periods of sitting. Stand. Stretch. Walk. Repeat. 🚶🏾‍♀️

Small movement breaks can make a difference in your daily routine.

Antibiotics don’t treat every infection. 💊

They work against certain bacterial infections—not viruses such as colds and flu.

Using antibiotics when they aren’t needed can contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Before reaching for a snack, pause:

💧 Thirst?
😴 Tired?
🧠 Stressed?
🍽️ Actually hungry?

It’s not about ignoring hunger. It’s about understanding what your body may be signalling.
What usually triggers your snack cravings?

You slept 8 hours. So why are you still tired?

Sleep duration isn’t the whole story.

Sleep quality, interruptions, stress, routines and even some health conditions can affect how rested you feel.

Five health numbers worth knowing:

🩺 Blood pressure
🩸 Blood glucose
❤️ Cholesterol

Your heart doesn’t only need attention when it hurts. ❤️

Know your blood pressure. Stay active. Eat well. Avoid tobacco. Pay attention to unusual changes.

Heart health is worth caring for before there’s a problem.

MYTH: “If you don’t eat much sugar, you can’t develop diabetes.”

FACT: Type 2 diabetes is influenced by several factors not sugar alone.

Family history, age, physical activity, body weight and overall health can all play a role.

#DiabetesAwarenes #preventivehealth

What happens to your blood sugar after you eat?

Food → Glucose → Insulin → Energy.

Understanding your body is part of taking care of it.

#healtheducation #vitaguardiawellbeing

[VitaGuardia Wellbeing @VitaGuardia]

You can feel fine and still have high blood sugar.

Type 2 diabetes can develop gradually with few or no noticeable symptoms.

Know your risk. Know your numbers. Take action when it matters.
