In mid-November, Vantage Logistics organized an online workshop titled “From Sumo to Hero,” aimed at raising health awareness and promoting a healthy lifestyle among employees. The workshop was led by Master of Pharmacy Pham Thi Bich Nga (Director of Synutra Company) and received enthusiastic participation from the company’s staff, leaving a positive and lasting impression.
 
This activity reflects Vantage’s commitment to promoting employee health and advancing sustainable development, aligning with Goal 3 of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It was not just a knowledge-sharing session but also a journey toward building a healthy, energetic, and happy workplace community together.

Key Takeaways from the Workshop:

1. Scientific Eating Habits: Your diet determines your health, turning your body into either a "bank of benefits" or a "trash bin" depending on your food choices.
2. Avoid Overeating or Splitting Too Many Meals: Eating too many small meals burdens the body with excess energy processing, leading to fatigue.
3. The Balance Between Exercise and Nutrition: Exercise contributes only 30% to weight loss effectiveness; nutrition remains the key factor.
 
Principles of a Balanced Diet

• Include Carbs and Fats Wisely: Choose healthy carbs like brown rice, sweet potatoes, and oats; opt for fats from olive oil, avocados, and nuts.
• Prioritize Fresh Foods: Focus on fresh vegetables, natural meats, and whole grains while avoiding heavily processed or industrially refined foods.
• Limit Refined Sugar: Replace refined sugar with whole fruits or natural sweeteners like honey; switch to coconut or olive oil instead of refined vegetable oils.
• Eat Mindfully: Never skip breakfast, eat slowly, and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and feel fuller longer.

 
Benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle

• Maintain a healthy weight and reduce excess fat.
• Increase energy levels and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
• Enhance mental well-being, promoting positivity and focus.

The workshop’s success stemmed not only from the insightful content shared by the speaker but also from the enthusiastic discussions and contributions of participants. It is hoped that employees will integrate these valuable lessons into their daily lives to improve health and achieve a balance between work and personal well-being.

Start with small steps, such as selecting healthier options for daily meals. Health is not only a personal asset but also a foundation for effectively contributing to family and work. Together, let’s embrace a healthy lifestyle with Vantage Logistics to work toward a sustainable future!
