National Data Sharing Policy (NDSP)

National Data Sharing Policy (NDSP)

Data availability is vital for the digital economy’s growth, supported by experts, technology, and policies. It includes collecting, validating, processing, and using data while ensuring privacy, trust, safety, and economic value.

Recognising the importance of data access in both public and private sectors, along with the general public, remains limited. This includes data sharing, governance, its role in economic growth, and fostering a conducive data ecosystem.

The key question that calls for our attention is how the data is used and protected. 

Data availability for both public and private sectors is challenging, as is sharing data across industries. Leveraging big data for economic transactions and improving service delivery requires a more productive and optimised data sharing ecosystem.

Cultivating the culture of proper and ethical use of data and data sharing needs to be intensified among government agencies, industry players and the general public. This will build trust, reduce misuse risks, and enhance socioeconomic benefits for everyone, including researchers, organisations, authorities, businesses, and the public.

Educating the public about sharing data responsibly and carefully is another challenge that needs to be overcome so that all stakeholders including researchers, different organisations, the authorities, the business community, the public and others can benefit from it.

A universally recognised official data source is the way forward, requiring joint solutions through active participation by all parties.

As we’re in the early stage, it’s crucial to raise public awareness about data sharing, fostering a ‘data culture’ that emphasizes understanding the existing ecosystem, refining it, and maintaining data integrity for the common good.

Creating a collaborative data sharing ecosystem with all stakeholders will catalyse economic growth and enhance our global competitiveness.

Another key point is having a single source for authentic data, enabling various sectors such as retail, health, banking, and tourism to operate more efficiently and professionally with a conducive data sharing ecosystem

With established data sharing related guidelines can reduce data misuse risk and enhance big data for the common good in both public and private sectors.

Therefore, the active participation and support from all stakeholders is a continued commitment that will eventually transform our data into a highly valuable asset or commodity in this internet age as we move towards a digital society.

Premature Ageing

 

 

 

We all age, but premature ageing is a condition where a person ages faster than they should.

Some of the most common signs of premature ageing appear in your skin, with wrinkles and age spots. A large factor in “premature skin ageing” is a result of free radical activity in the body which usually happens because of constant environmental exposures such as radiation from the sun, UV rays, tobacco smoke and pollution.

Even physical stress and poor diets can also contribute to free radicals running rampant in our system thus increasing the ageing process. Too much of free radicals can lead to poor circulation, deteriorated eye health and weakened vein and skin elasticity – all of which can lead to premature ageing.

As we age, so do our blood vessels, which can often get blocked, stiffen and become less flexible. It makes sense to look after our blood vessels and keep them flexible, and strong.

This extract helps ensure that our nutrient delivery system (our blood vessels) stays strong. It would not only make sure that our organs receive the oxygen and nutrients they need but also it will be able to remove the harmful toxins out from the body.

A healthy outside starts on the inside!

When we think of our health and primary organs in the body, usually our heart, brain, kidneys are among the first one’s that comes to mind.

Organ such as the liver often tend to get forgotten. Most of us know that consuming harmful drinks such as alcohol will have a severe impact on the liver’s health, but did you know there are also other factors that influence liver health too?

In this article, we dive deep into liver health, why it’s important and what steps you can take to ensure this vital organ stays healthy for the long-term.

What does the liver do?

To put in perspective how vital our liver is, it’s been known to perform “at least 500 functions” that keep us healthy. It is the second-largest organ in the body and has many important jobs, including filtering toxins from your bloodstream, balancing macro- and micronutrients, and regulating hormones.

Click here to find out the explanation

These 3 are some of the liver’s vital functions: to eliminate toxins, to metabolise nutrients (carbohydrates, lipids and proteins), and store energy as glycogen.

Detoxification

The liver functions as a filter that recovers and eliminates harmful toxins. Those toxins can be naturally present in the waste generated by our metabolism, like ammonia, or in the ones we eat or drink.

Synthesis

Our liver assures the metabolism of the carbohydrates, the fat and the proteins while producing bile, an essential element for our digestion. It also avoids haemorrhages via the coagulation process.

Storage

The liver stores vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and glycogens (carbohydrates) meaning it stores energy like sugar and makes it available when we need it.

Click here to find out the explanation

It is located on your right side, midway between your waist and your armpit.

Your liver is a unique organ

The human adult liver weighs averagely around 1.4 kg and is found in the right upper abdomen, below the diaphragm. It takes up most of the space under the ribs and some space in the left upper abdomen, too.

Because of the importance of the liver and its functions, evolution has ensured that it can regrow rapidly as long as it is kept healthy. All vertebrates, from fish to humans, have the ability to regrow the liver.

Did you know?

Did you know that it is the only visceral organ that can regenerate? It can regenerate completely, as long as a minimum of about 25% of the tissue remains. The liver can regrow to its previous size and ability without any loss of function during the growth process.

Unhealthy dietary habits can lead to the rise of a modern disease known as the fatty liver.

Your liver does a lot to keep you healthy, especially acting as your body’s filter to clear out toxins. However, overworking it with a high-stress lifestyle, lack of sleep and eating an unhealthy diet for too long, might cause it to acquire its own health problems.

Unhealthy dietary habits can lead to the rise of a modern disease known as the fatty liver. What is worrying is that fatty liver is not easily detected in the early onset and can go undetected for years.

As the condition progresses, symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal distension after meals, bloatedness, discomfort after slight alcohol consumption, mild diarrhoea after meals will begin to surface.

Fatty liver is greatly due to unhealthy lifestyle such as being (overweight, stress, lack of sleep, high levels of fat and sugar, consuming fast food regularly) and not just due to alcohol and toxins.

The more unhealthy our lifestyle is, the greater the burden is on the liver. Of course, nowadays, it’s difficult to live a complete stress-free life and avoid unhealthy foods.

Hence LAC, short for Leader in Antioxidative Control, has introduced their LAC L.Pro

Click here to find out the explanation

Foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt can affect liver function over time. Fried and fast foods can also affect the health of your liver.

Made from carefully selected Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) herbs , LAC L.Pro. helps to  promote better blood circulation and soothe the liver. Since its founding, LAC has embarked on a pioneering journey to develop scientifically-based formulas, to neutralise free radicals, combat ageing brought forth by oxidative stress, and support you daily in looking, feeling, and functioning at your best.

Remember that your everyday choices and lifestyle habits can affect the health of your liver in the long term. Live a happy life with a healthy liver. A healthy liver can increase your life expectancy, which implies that you will have more time creating memories with your loved ones.
