Opt for a Healthier Lifestyle with RAKBANK Offers
by RAKBANK
A healthy body sets the stage for your day-to-day well-being and how well you age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the benefits of having a healthy body & mind extend to mood elevation and greater mental alertness, as well as reduced chronic disease risk. Leading a healthy life promotes efficient blood circulation, good digestion and musculoskeletal strength. As all these benefits add up, it becomes increasingly important to take care of oneself and opt for choices that promote a healthy living. However, the fast pace of the urban city life and hectic working hours can make it difficult to remain healthy.
So, what can you do in such a situation?
An important thing to remember here is that every step counts. Start with small measures and try to incorporate them in your daily life. Something as simple as drinking 8 glasses of water daily will go a long way in ensuring your health.
Here are some other simple measures and health tips that you can follow:
1. Balanced Nutrition: This is the first and the most important element for a healthy and fit body. A balanced diet consists of all the essential nutrients that can help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce risk of chronic diseases and promote overall health. International dietary associations recommend consuming more of fruits, vegetables, whole grains & lean protein, and avoiding fats, sugars, refined grains & red meat. Also, opt for 5-6 smaller meals in a day instead of going for 2-3 large sized meals. To make it easier and more feasible, RAKBANK offers 0% EPP with Kcal. Kcal offers a well-balanced meal, which is a perfect combination of energizing carbs, complete proteins, healthy fats and essential vitamins and minerals. You can learn more by clicking here.
2. Exercise: Exercise plays a very important role in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Exercise helps weight control, prevents type 2 diabetes, maintains a healthy blood pressure, fights depression and prevents several illnesses. You can start with something as simple as walking 30-40 minutes every day or try other forms of exercise such as cycling, running, aerobics or yoga classes. RAKBANK provides 10% discount at Bay Yoga Centre and a free session at the Bharat Thakur Artistic Yoga for its cardholders. You can even sign up for the 0% EPP package from Gold's Gym.

3. Regular Dental Visits: Whether you're 18 or 80, oral health is extremely important. Have you ever wondered why it's recommended to get your teeth checked every 6 months? It's because regular dental visits can help you spot dental problems early on, when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. During your checkup appointment, your dentist (or dental hygienist) will likely evaluate the health of your gums, perform a head and neck examination (to look for anything out of the ordinary) and examine your mouth for any indications of oral cancer, diabetes or vitamin deficiencies. RAKBANK offers a wide range of discounts and offers at various dental clinics around UAE. Visit the RAKBANK Website to find out more about this. And in between those examinations, make sure you brush twice daily and take good care of your teeth to keep them healthy.
4. Book a Massage: There's nothing better than enjoying a therapeutic and relaxing massage at the end of a stressful day. A good massage helps calm your nerves, provides muscle relief and even counteracts all the sitting you do. In addition to this, some studies have found that massages may also be helpful in reducing anxiety, headaches, insomnia and small injuries. Many people also opt for a massage therapy to relieve ailments like chronic back or leg pain. Whatever might be the reason, getting a relaxing massage is another one of those simple measures that requires little effort in improving your lifestyle. If you are looking for a good massage, head to So Spa, located in Sofitel Hotel, Palm Jumeirah and avail a 20% discount on the total bill with your RAKBANK Card.
5. Regular Medical Checkups: The points mentioned above will not work if you are suffering from a health problem. Stay ahead of (or treat) illnesses by going for regular medical checkups. Regular checkups allow your doctor to spot any health issues early on. Early detection of a problem can lead to timely treatment, and sometimes could even make the difference between life and death. Checkups incorporate several tests, including preventative screenings and physical examinations. You can visit any clinic in the UAE to get more information on the type of tests required for a routine checkup. Additionally, with your RAKBANK Card, you can avail varied discounts at several clinics such as Al Zahra Hospital, NMC Healthcare & Well-being Medical Centre.
All in all, there are countless benefits in following the above measures and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As mentioned, start with small moderate steps and very soon healthy measures will become a part of your daily routine. And the benefits you reap will go a long way in keeping you motivated to stick to your fit habits.
Remember, there's no better time to start than TODAY!
