Here's How:

Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet, reducing sugar and refined carbohydrate intake, and eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Physical Activity: Regular exercise helps manage weight, improve insulin sensitivity, and lower blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring: Early detection through blood tests and consistent monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential for managing the disease effectively.

Mental health is an integral component of one’s overall well-being, yet many employees struggle in silence, impacting productivity. Prioritizing mental health fosters a supportive culture and reduces stigma.

As we observe this year’s National Mental Health Month, with the theme, _“It is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace,”_ let’s pause and assess our environment. Let us create supportive settings by implementing wellness initiatives and promoting a healthy environment where everyone can thrive. Together, we can transform every workplace into a healthy workplace.

Ngayong Oktubre 10, ipinagdiriwang natin ang World Mental Health Day para bigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng mental health sa ating kalusugan. Ang tema ngayong taon: ‘It’s time to prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace.’ 🧠💼

Safe and healthy workplaces protect our mental well-being and promotes productivity.

Kaya dapat sabay-sabay tayong kumilos para gumawa ng mga polisiya at interventions that will prevent mental health risks, promote well-being, and create supportive workplaces where mental health is a priority. 💪🏼

Let’s work together for a healthier and more supportive working environment.
