On this World Cancer Day 4 Feb, I would like to take this opportunity to remind all of us that we can take steps for prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. We can #closethegap “After her chemotherapy treatments concluded, Julianne was determined to turn her life around. Though she lost her physique, muscle, strength and all her confidence, she was determined to reduce the chances of any cancer recurrence” (with transforming herself and her lifestyle)- THE PEAK magazine (screen shots)Thank u for the feature @thepeaksg ! No one wants to be a VIP member of this club. Q: So what we can do is to help ourselves in prevention? A: Through medical and fitness professionals, I have learned unwittingly-that by having a healthy lifestyle (7-8 hours of sleep, 3L of water, balanced nutrition, daily exercise, less stress), is the best and most natural way for prevention (and a recurrence of cancer). Q: How can we detect cancer earlier? A: Get our own health data by #ScreenForLife. The most basic- blood test. Schedule imaging for all the major parts of our bodies, organs, heart ultrasound & ECG, endoscopy, bone density, eyes, nose, throat, etc. But if we do get diagnosed with cancer, we are never alone. No matter the stage of diagnosis, there is HOPE with cancer treatment plans. Thankfully, with medical advancements , the survival rate for all types of cancers have increased. As an ex-Private Banker, I would advocate insurance to every single person I meet- in order to have access to the drugs and health care we need, remember to upgrade your hospital plan to “A” (the best). For Singaporeans, this would be in your insurance company’s SHIELD plan (not the same as medishield). Together, we can reimagine a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved and access to life-saving cancer treatment and care is equitable for all - no matter who you are or where you live. #changewithjuliannedanielle #ultimateperforancesg #fitnessjourney #sgwellness #empoweringwomen #cancer #breastcancer #proud2bcatholic #celebratingsgwomen #SGwomen #inspiringstories #love #fitfam #lifestyle #gym #fitnessmotivation #lululemon #strongboldgrateful #changeyourlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPxF27yJSt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
