In this stressful period of uncertainty, it’s natural to have our health and wellbeing take a backseat
Back when our social lives were in full swing, having an active routine at the gym or community sports facility was a simpler way to keep our wellness goals in check.
Home workouts are great and can be effective but let’s be honest, it’s hard to match a bicep or glute pump that you get post-strength training. Plus, the competitive rush of playing a game of badminton doubles or shooting hoops with your besties can be hard to beat too. Ahh, a throwback to good times. :’)
However, Malaysians have certainly kept our chins up and been powering through it all
From high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to incorporating more plant-based meals, you might have noticed your friends and family trying out popular fitness and health trends during lockdown.
In addition to that, people have also been sharing how they keep active in current times with common equipment like jump ropes — and even unusual weight-lifting tips that involve buckets of water, mmhmm.
And this brings us to another aspect that’s integral to our well-being — our eating habits

It’s not fun feeling sluggish, especially when you’re confined to your home. And when your eating habits also take a toll from the stress, it’s nice to have options that are convenient and easy to give your nutrition a boost.
It’s important to note that a wholesome diet with all your macros and micronutrients (alongside an active lifestyle), are what’s going to ultimately lead to that wellness glow-up coveted by so many.
So, supplements, as the word suggests, are a fine way to complement and enhance what you’re already supposed to be feeding your body. But of course, supplementation also comes in handy for people who lack certain requirements due to dietary restrictions, as well as to fill in the nutritional gaps on extra stressful or busy days.
This is where Swisse wants to nudge you towards a healthier and happier life 😀
