On August 17, 2023, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, a training session was held at the multipurpose building in Ngio Rai Subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom Province. This training was organized by Ngio Rai Subdistrict Administrative Organization and focused on the topic of “Buddy” Ngiw Rai activities under the “Wai Kao” Ngiw Rai school project. The training aimed to impart knowledge about the properties of Thai herbs and how to use them for the elderly’s physical health care. Additionally, the training included herbal balm making activities and provided insights into the importance of physical activity for overall health. During the event, speakers from the Thailand Physical Activity Knowledge Development Center (TPAK) and the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University, participated in educating the attendees about the significance of engaging in physical activity to reduce the risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The speakers shared tips for appropriate physical activity for the elderly within the community and provided precautions for exercising in hot weather conditions.
Furthermore, they demonstrated suitable and correct methods and guidelines for physical activity among the elderly. The benefits of incorporating physical activities into one’s routine were also highlighted by the speakers, namely Ms. Nattaporn Nilwatta, Dr. Piyakrita Kaewpikul, Ms. Panitchaya Limsiri, and Mr. Kritsana Aramsri. The training encompassed a comprehensive approach by addressing both physical activity issues and the utilization of Thai herbs for the elderly’s physical care. The goal was to empower the elderly with a well-rounded approach to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, thereby reducing the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases and fall injuries. This approach ultimately contributes to the well-being and longevity of the elderly within the community.
