Personalized Healthcare at "Bangkok Hua Hin Clinic: Market Village"
Severe chronic diseases are becoming more common among younger individuals. According to the Thai National Health Examination Survey, 30% of diabetes patients were unaware of their condition, while 48.8% did not know they had high blood pressure (hypertension). Additionally, more than 20 million people worldwide die each year from heart disease and stroke. In Thailand, the Ministry of Public Health reports an average of eight deaths per hour from these conditions, with 80% of this is preventable. The main risk factors include unhealthy lifestyle habits such as lack of sleep hygiene, stress, consuming fast food and processed foods, and lack of exercise. Recently, Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin has expanded its services by opening a new branch, “Bangkok Hua Hin Clinic: Market Village”. This clinic provides both medical treatment and preventive health check-ups. Dr. Sawanya Anupat, our physician at Bangkok Hua Hin Clinic: Market Village, a specialist in emergency medicine and a consultant for personalized and sustainable wellness, emphasizes the importance of annual health check-ups for screening and detecting hidden metabolic syndrome, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension, and abnormal blood lipid levels, even before symptoms appear. Early detection of risks allows patients to consult doctors, identify risk factors, adjust lifestyles, and receive proper care, helping to reduce disease severity and prevent complications. Behavioral Adjustments for Sustainable Health For those who begin to focus on their health, adopting a holistic approach is a great starting point. This includes having healthier food choices (such as the My Plate Diet, Intermittent Fasting or IF), regular exercise, good sleep quality, hormonal balance and digestive health, especially the probiotics (gut microbiome), which impact overall health. It’s also important to manage emotions and stress, and to avoid exposure to pollutants or toxic metals that accumulate in the body and cause oxidative stress, which may lead to cancer and chronic diseases. Personalized Healthcare for Wellness & Longevity What we believe to be “good” may not always be suitable for our bodies. For example, taking trendy supplements not only wastes money but can also harm our health, or consuming raw egg whites may lower vitamin B7 levels. While we know our bodies need vitamins and minerals from food, each person has individual needs. Today, medical innovations allow for in-depth health assessments to design personalized health plans such as screenings for vitamin and micronutrient levels, hormones, toxins, gut microbiomes, and genetic testing (DNA). These assessments help doctors provide tailored advice, lifestyle adjustments, and care that truly meet individual needs. If you feel unwell, tired, not refreshed or as if you are aging prematurely but no clear diseases are found, an imbalance in body functions could be the cause. We recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation, a review of your health history, and personalized advice. In some cases, further tests may be suggested to identify underlying causes. If abnormalities are detected, we can provide short-term treatments to improve symptoms or restore balance, boosting energy and vitality. Additionally, long-term lifestyle changes can help you achieve your best health, enhancing your journey to a “New Me, Optimal Health” with youthfulness, longevity and overall wellness.” Dr. Sawanya concluded.
