About 190 Tan Tock Seng Hospital workers to take part in TNP Big Walk

Some 190 employees from Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) are looking forward to The New Paper Big Walk on Nov 18.

The hospital's human resources wellness department, which is responsible for the staff's physical and social well-being, called for registration for the Big Walk as it can reach more employees and senior staff members who do not enjoy running.

Mr Dominic Tung, assistant director of HR wellness, said: "At TTSH, we believe in work-life balance and encourage staff to engage in activities and programmes organised by the hospital which cater to their personal and physical well-being.

"The Big Walk is one such activity that allows colleagues to have fun while staying fit at the same time."

Mr Laley Senawi, a nurse clinician, will be walking with his wife and daughter, who are participating for the first time.

Mr Laley, 55, who took part in last year's Big Walk, said it will be a chance for the family to enjoy the sights of Singapore while walking on the road.

"I just want to make sure they enjoy the walk," he said.

The avid runner, who starting running more frequently three years ago to lose weight, has since lost 6kg.

ROLE MODEL
He told TNP with a laugh: "At my age, I don't have any chronic diseases, I am sort of a role model for my colleagues."

Senior medical technologist Melieve Yanson, who also participated last year, said that working in a hospital has made her more health-conscious.

Ms Yanson, 50, sets a goal of walking 10,000 steps daily.

The Big Walk's 5km route that starts from the Singapore Sports Hub is manageable for her.

She has an eight-minute walk to and from her workplace and home every day.

Ms Yanson, who hits the gym thrice a week and runs at least two half-marathons yearly, said: "Because of my job in healthcare, I need to be fit and healthy myself before I can care for others."

Healthcare personnel, nurses, and doctors are the unsung heroes not working in the glamorous world. As human beings, there are moments when bacteria, viruses, and accidents penetrate our healthy life, causing us pains and sufferings. We may blame our fate, and uncontrollably lashes out at the "injustices", but the damages to our bodies are already done. Who would understand our darkest moments, and could offer comfort to our difficult times? By the grace of God, this is the moment when our hospital's healthcare personnel takes over our broken life, offering emotional support, and stay with us as we journey along the dark tunnel of misery.

With their skillful touch, we are patiently guided through the path of recovery. Their shining care and concern provide the necessary light for us to navigate out of the dangerous microorganisms' world. Together with Mother Nature, they offer the best protection against infective agent from further multiplying within our living cells and corrupting our bodies' functioning system.

While the healthcare personnel tirelessly help us to battle our life threatening problems, they themselves are also subjected to the mercy of the invading harmful diseases. We are to remember to acknowledge their courage and bravery, as they enter into our realm which might promise no return. As they approach the day enthusiastically, bursting with activities for our well-beings, they offer themselves selflessly with little guarantee of their own safety.

We need more and more of such angels. It is with great efforts behind the scene that we are able to enjoy such warm and comforts, especially during our hour of suffering. Even in our difficult time, lets us pray also for our caregivers to find strength in their endeavour, and who maybe at this moment struggling with their never-ending tasks. May God's blessings come upon them; to keep up their goodwork, and especially, enjoy their walk through life.

The National Steps Challenge The New Paper Big Walk this year will not be the first for retired postal service employee Kanan Gunasagaran.

He joined the Big Walk in 2000 and 2003, when it was held at the National Stadium.

Mr Gunasagaran, 82, told The New Paper: "Sadly, I do not have many photographs of these events.

"Back when I was younger and more fit, I used to walk and jog between 5km and 6km daily.
 
"But due to knee problems, I now cover the same distance three or four times a week instead. The exercise keeps me alert, fit and healthy."

He wants to "encourage friends, and especially my children and grandchildren, to join me in my walks and jogs".

He said: "This is especially since the Prime Minister (Mr Lee Hsien Loong) has urged all Singaporeans, in his National Day Rally speech, to have healthy lifestyles and fight diabetes.

"I am looking forward to the Big Walk as it will be a great time of fun with friends and family."

Mr Lim Hoo Hong, 73, is taking part in this year's Big Walk with his wife and son.

It is his first Big Walk, but he is confident that he can complete the course.

Mr Lim, who is self-employed, said: "I have been careful about my health and lifestyle for over 30 years. I walk about 7km every day and practise taiji with my friends every morning."

Retiree Phang Chin Foo, 78, first took part in the Big Walk in 2000, and this year's will be his 10th one.

"I do not let my age get in the way of a healthy lifestyle. I have always believed in eating healthy food, and eating less processed food," he said.

"I want to stay healthy as it will be very expensive if one falls sick in Singapore."

Mr Phang will be taking part in this year's Big Walk with two friends, aged 68 and 75.

He said: "The Big Walk is a healthy and leisurely activity that everybody can do."

Body composition
PHOTO: Body composition
The body mass index (BMI) or Quetelet index is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of an individual. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres.
To have a BMI under 18.5 is considered very underweight and possibly malnourished. However, a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is within a healthy weight range for young and middle-aged adults. Furthermore, a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 is classed as overweight. Finally, a BMI over 30 is considered obese.
Note that given the same BMI, the body on the left is in a better shape.
