WITH the health threat caused by the pandemic, it has never been more important to keep healthy, both physically and mentally.
One way to keep your body in good health is by giving it the proper nutrition it needs. As the old adage says, “You are what you consume”, it is imperative to take a good, hard look at what you feed your bodies. In the same way, as physical health also links to mental health, what you consume daily plays a big part in keeping you going though these times.
A healthy and well-balanced diet acts as fuel for your health. In recognition of this, Watsons has launched it Are You Eating Right campaign featuring celebrity chef Brian Chen, affectionately known as Abang Brian.
Through this, Watsons presents an educational take on local favorites and nutritional facts to help Malaysians make the correct choices to keep a balanced diet. It is very important to know what we eat and what we need to find balance in our daily diets to reap the most benefits from the nutrients in our food.
Through a series of videos, Watsons, together with Abang Brian presents a healthier take on preparing local Malaysian food for a healthier diet.

Complementing our diet with the appropriate supplements also plays a role in daily health maintenance.
To educate the public on proper supplementation and how to get the best benefits from it, Watsons together with Star Media Group recently held a webinar on “Diet vs Supplement: What are Your Options?” to explore the benefits of making supplements a part of our daily routine to complement a healthy and well-balanced diet for optimal health.
The session was moderated by Watsons pharmacist Ruby Tay and presented by naturopath physician, nutritionist and author Dr Lawrence Lim.
Dr Lim shared, “We need to take supplements to make sure we get enough essential nutrients and to maintain or improve our health and overall well-being. Nowadays, we encounter more toxins than we before and there is a drop of nutritional value in our food. Even our water is depleted of minerals. Furthermore, people don’t absorb nutrients very well due to our lifestyles.”
He advises undergoing a health assessment to find out what you need or refer to your healthcare provider to find out the type of supplements that are suitable for you.
To help you keep your health up, Watsons has also unrolled exciting promotions for the month of August.
