How your new home can help fight obesity

Empire East's The Rochester is located along Elisco Road in San Joaquin, Pasig City.

MANILA, Philippines - Recent studies said people from the Asia Pacific are now being considered as overweight and obese in 2013. Obesity is now identified as a global disease.

The Department of Health (DOH) is working to spread awareness about the risks of being overweight in our country, most especially in schools  and offices, where eating cannot be monitored all the time.

A well balanced diet and an active lifestyle can prevent you from becoming sick of the weight. It is more of the kind of food we eat and which type of physical activities we engage in. Remember to eat healthy, keep away from processed food. Introduce a variety of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet to start off. Go for organic and natural food like whole grains, avoid whole daily products and fatty meat. Protein can be found in healthy food like fish, lean meat and legumes. Avoid carbonated drinks such as sodas and opt for naturally squeezed juice from oranges, lemons or calamansi. Don't forget to drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated.

Engage in physical activities like aerobic and muscle- strengthening exercises to help you keep fit. You don't actually need to get a membership in expensive health clubs. Walking or jogging in parks, biking in the neighborhood or doing chores are sufficient aerobic activities. As for strengthening exercises, sit ups and pushups can help improve your muscle strength.

It would be a great advantage if you live in a neighborhood where you can enjoy keeping up with the active lifestyle. The Rochester is complete with amenities suited for those who want to maintain their fitness. Plunge in a refreshing lap pool and swim towards a healthy body, play basketball or tennis with neighborly residents, let your kids have fun at the children's playground, get busy as you take your morning exercise through our jogging paths or choose to get physical in our gym and fitness center.
