AISEA Rabuno Tuisue says his life in Suva is simple yet purposeful, centred around healthy living, mindful spending, and community service.
He believes stress management and and mental well-being are vital aspects of health.
Aisea works as a Human Resource Officer at Partners in Community Development Fiji (PCDF), a local non-governmental organisation based in Suva.
Despite his busy day-today schedules, Aisea mentioned that he also reinforced my belief in the importance of leading a healthy and responsible lifestyle.
“Preventative care and responsible lifestyle choices form the foundation of long-term wellness,” he said.
“To support this, I maintain a backyard garden at home where I grow local vegetables such as bele and rourou.”
Aisea said gardening not only helps him save money but also provides a form of exercise and stress relief.
He said it gives him the satisfaction of producing fresh, organic food while staying active.
He sets aside at least about $100 fortnightly for buying additional fresh vegetables from the market to complement what he grows at home.
When it comes to fresh produce, Aisea chooses the Suva Municipal Market, where vegetables are always fresh and locally grown.
For groceries, he mainly shops at Extra Supermarket in Flagstaff.
He said the supermarket have affordable prices and is very convenient since it’s also near his work place.
“I usually shop at Extra Supermarket because of its wide variety of products and consistent availability of items that meet my shopping list requirements.”
“Health and wellness play a major role in my everyday choices.
“I firmly believe that healthy shopping and living are essential for maintaining overall well-being, managing health conditions, and ensuring financial stability.”
Aisea said his approach to healthy living includes focusing on nutritious eating, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining balance in all aspects of life.
He also emphasise the importance of adequate sleep, as it restores energy, enhances mood, and improves productivity.
“Regular movement keeps my body strong and my mind relaxed,” he said.
Aisea emphasised the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle by integrating regular physical activity, healthy eating, adequate rest, and mental wellness. He highlighted that achieving harmony among these elements supports overall health, enhances daily performance, and fosters long-term well-being, helping individuals lead more fulfilling and productive lives.
He encouraged shoppers to plan and prepare carefully before their shopping trips, emphasising that being organised and ready ensures smarter choices, smoother experiences, and more enjoyable, efficient shopping adventures.
“Prepare your grocery list in advance to avoid impulse buying, and always uphold cleanliness and order in all aspects of life.”
“A healthy, balanced lifestyle is the key to a long, fulfilling, and meaningful life,” he said.
