Here’s an easy gauge of your intensity level: you can talk but not sing when you’re doing a moderate-intensity activity, while you will have difficulty talking when you’re doing a vigorous-intensity activity.

Small acts of empathy can make a big difference in someone's life. Whether it's acknowledging others' views and feelings or trying to understand their perspective, your support matters. The next time someone you care about reaches out, let's try to show them empathy.

We just released the annual National Population Health Survey (NPHS) today and there are some encouraging signs:
🚭 prevalence of smoking, at 8.8%, has dropped to its lowest since the survey began
👟 proportion of residents engaging in sufficient total physical activity increased to almost 8 in 10 now
🫂 the state of mental health improved
💉 influenza and pneumococcal vaccination uptake improved
We will continue to build on this, and continue to strengthen our preventive health efforts through Healthier SG.
This includes measures to reduce sodium and saturated fat intake, in the same way that we reduced sugar intake, through labeling, and helping consumers make healthier choices.
The full NPHS 2023 report is available at https://go.gov.sg/nphs2023report
