Healthy living with easy savings 

Smart ways to use the $500 vouchers at your fingertips.

1. Keep your smile bright with dental cleaning

Even if you brush and floss your teeth twice daily, hardened dental plaque that contributes to gum disease and tooth decay can be a persistent problem. This is why regular scaling and polishing once every 6-12 months is an essential part of dental health. Beyond check-ups, you can also use your vouchers for dental cleanings, fillings, and more. 

2. Ease joint pain and chronic ailments with TCM

If you have stiff joints or name suggests, this strategy focuses on muscle aches that won’t go away, a visit to a Traditional Chinese Medicine specialist could present a potential relief. Treatments such as needling, heat, and electro-acupuncture are often recommended for patients dealing with chronic pain⁴ ,but be sure to consult your primary physician beforehand! 

3. Give your eye health a closer look

Your eyes are more vulnerable to damage as you age. Contracting myopia at a young age can lead to serious complications in mid-adulthood, while those entering their 40s need to watch out for signs of glaucoma. If you’ve been feeling eye fatigue after staring at your screen, it might be time for an eye exam or your first pair of prescription glasses.  

4. Stock up on health supplements

Taking daily multivitamins at moderate doses can slow cognitive ageing and fill the gap in your nutrient intake.  Vitamins sold at retail pharmacy stores tend to be pricier, but you can get them from the neighbourhood supermarket with your vouchers! Be sure to consult your physician about your vitamin intake to prevent toxic buildups that could damage your organs. 

5. Dish out healthy dishes with smart gadgets

If you’ve been trying to cut down on sodium, saturated fats and sauces, look out for kitchen appliances that let you pull off healthy recipes at home with ease. With an air fryer or a smart multi-cooker, you can whip up lower-calorie, café-worthy dishes like miso-glazed salmon, one-pot soups, or cauliflower wings in no time at all. 

6. Plan a family art jam

Feeling fatigued? Rest is training important, but sleep is not the only way to reset and recharge. Engaging in art activities is a form of creative rest, reducing anxiety in adults and helping children develop fine motor skills and emotional intelligence. When weekend mall-hopping gets boring, switch it up with a painting session with your little ones. Pick up a brush or a tray of paints from a local art supply store, queue up video tutorials to get you inspired, or join parent-child craft workshops to try out activities like paint throwing and balloon splatter art!

7. Hop on a bike to discover Singapore anew

If rising airfares make you a feel wary of venturing abroad, why not spend this school holiday rediscovering our little red dot instead? Purchase bicycles from a heartland shop and enjoy a leisurely spin around the neighbourhood, or set off on a scenic ride along Singapore’s cycling trails and park connectors.

8. Hop Indulge in self-care and a hair cut 

Need to touch-up your roots, get a nail trim, or refresh your look? A well-rounded grooming routine can be the powerful boost of confidence you need on your journey toward personal growth. Turn your hair appointment into a self-care day with a scalp massage, believed to relieve stress and improve hair growth. 

9. Take your pet for a grooming session

Yes, your furry friend needs self-care too! Regular pet grooming can spot health troubles like fleas, ticks, and cysts before they snowball into serious issues. From cleaning paws to trimming claws, maintaining the hygiene of your pet also curbs the risk of getting bacterial infection from playful scratches. 

10. Breathe easy with an air purifier 

If you have been getting sneezy or plagued by allergic reactions, airborne irritants in your home might be the hidden enemy. From haze particles to microscopic proteins found in pet hair, saliva, or fur, invisible pollutants can irritate your respiratory system, affect your heart and lungs, and weaken your immune system. Get an air purifier from an electrical store or heartland retailer to minimise the presence of allergens in your home!
