You don’t need us to tell you that it’s never been more important to take care of yourself. You may have made it (kicking and screaming) through 2020, but the fight is for good holistic health, happiness, safety and sanity is far from over. Thankfully in Singapore we have a history of Traditional Chinese Medicine and access to excellent TCM practitioners and stores. Whether you’re trying to build up your immunity, watch your weight as working from home continues, or want to keep your energy levels as high as possible, TCM uses commonly-used ingredients and follows its own principles to help you feel your best. Here, we look at how this ancient practice can support your health this year and beyond.

It can boost immunity
Even as we sit in Phase 3, the Covid-19 battle is far from over. The responsibility remains on us as individuals to remain proactive when it comes to safe distancing and sticking to other safety measures put in place. A strong immune system is also critical to keep the body and mind functioning in tip-top condition without having to worry about bouts of illness. Protect yourself with Eu Yan Sang’s Lingzhi Cracked Spores Powder Capsules Plus. It’s believed to boost the immune system's ability to fight infectious pathogens and strengthens resistance to harmful substances.
It can strengthen mental health
Self-care will be a very important part of 2021, as we continue to wrestle with the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic. Tied in closely is the importance of mental, holistic health and fortitude. TCM physicians work based on the idea that our mental and physical well-being are intertwined, which is why maintaining a balance of life force, Qi, is so crucial. There are methods to help improve your mental health, such as tai chi or qi gong. These are based on the concept of movement, breathing and meditation combining to put one in an optimal mental and physical state.

It can help to maintain weight
Weight and body image will sadly continue to be popular topics in 2021. The truth is that many people are not in the same shape that they were in before the pandemic stopped the economy and any regular exercise plans in their tracks. Having said that, TCM can aid you in your journey of achieving a healthier weight through supporting healthy blood sugar levels.
Elevated blood sugar, or hyperglycaemia, leads to weight gain by promoting insulin resistance and impairing cells’ reactiveness to fat storage. This is especially true for the stomach area for women, due to the female body’s distribution of fat. We recommend Glucose Care Capsules which use the very complicated-sounding natural plants and vines Fraxinus Augustifolia and Gymnema Sylvestre to improve the sugar absorption of the body.

It boosts energy (and makes you better looking, kind of)
It’s essential to keep our energy levels up during these trying times. Burnout doesn’t only greatly affect our mental health, but it can have a knock-on effect to our appearance. (Anxiety-face, anyone?). Exhaustion often leaves us too done in to take care of our appearance, but stocking up on nourishing traditional Chinese medicine energy boosters such as Premium Instant Bird's Nest might be just the ticket to keep you looking alert and healthy despite your tiredness.
Bird’s Nest benefits are believed to include the ability to strengthen the immune system and relieve body tension and stress. It also has beauty enhancing attributes, which will leave your skin clear and radiant. Cooking has never been more simple — just simmer one-part bird’s nest with one bowl of water for thirty minutes and voila!
