Senator Crewing (Manila) Inc.’s Crew and Family Welfare Officer Ms. Gianelli Manchete organized a Zoom seminar spearheaded by Dr. Neilmar L. Umali of SuperCare entitled “Anchored in Wellness: Healthy Eating for Seafarers at Home” on August 29, 2024, designed for seafarers and their wives—to educate participants on maintaining a healthy diet while ashore.
With his excellent presentation, which held everyone’s attention, Dr. Neil Umali covered a wide range of major illnesses that seafarers may face and the hazards that go along with them. He even showed what occurs to blood vessels as he succinctly explained how various diseases, like diabetes, impact the body. Apart from that, Dr. Umali gave insightful counsel that struck a chord with the audience on how to keep up a balanced diet and the significance of consistent exercise.
For seafarers, maintaining a healthy diet means staying sharp, energized, and resilient against the challenges of maritime life. Proper nutrition helps combat fatigue, boosts immunity, and keeps both body and mind in top shape.Â
