Living a healthy life in Bahrain comes with unique considerations — from managing the summer heat to navigating traditional cuisine. Our Family Medicine team at MEMBH has compiled the top healthy habits for Bahrain residents.

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily, especially during Bahrain's hot summers.
  2. Exercise Smart: Walk along Bahrain Bay or join an indoor gym during peak summer. Aim for 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
  3. Eat the Rainbow: Balance traditional dishes with plenty of greens and limit fried foods.
  4. Prioritize Sleep: 7-9 hours of quality sleep regulates hormones and strengthens immunity.
  5. Regular Check-ups: Annual health screenings at MEMBH catch issues early.
  6. Manage Stress: Practice mindfulness or visit our Psychology department.
  7. Limit Screen Time: Reduce screens 1 hour before bed.
  8. Practice Sun Safety: Use SPF 30+ and avoid direct sun 10 AM-4 PM.
  9. Build Social Connections: Strong relationships are linked to longer, healthier lives.
  10. Quit Smoking: MEMBH offers smoking cessation support — it's never too late.
