AISEA Rabuno Tuisue leads a life in Suva that is both simple and purposeful, focusing on health, responsible spending, and community involvement. As a Human Resource Officer at Partners in Community Development Fiji (PCDF), a local NGO, Aisea emphasizes the significance of managing stress and maintaining mental well-being as critical components of health. He believes that preventative care and making informed lifestyle choices are essential for achieving long-term wellness.
Aisea’s approach includes maintaining a backyard garden where he cultivates local vegetables such as bele and rourou. This not only provides him with fresh, organic produce, but also serves as a form of exercise and stress relief. He allocates about $100 every fortnight for purchasing additional fresh vegetables from the Suva Municipal Market, praised for its freshness and local offerings. For groceries, he frequents Extra Supermarket in Flagstaff, where he enjoys affordability and a wide variety of products, facilitating his healthy shopping habits.
He advocates for planning and organization during shopping to avoid impulse buys and stresses the importance of a clean and orderly life. Aisea holds that making wise choices in shopping is integral to maintaining health and wellness, which ultimately leads to improved financial stability and overall life satisfaction.
His perspective resonates with other community health advocates, such as Charles Alfred Leonard Lee, known as Charlie, who also emphasizes the importance of mindful shopping and prioritizing product quality over mere cost. Similarly, adjunct associate professor Paul Geraghty encourages balanced living through healthy dietary choices and physical activity, highlighting the community’s shift towards healthier lifestyles.
Aisea’s dedication exemplifies a hopeful trend in Suva, where individuals increasingly recognize the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle. By focusing on nutritious eating, regular physical activity, and mental wellness, Aisea and others are contributing to a movement that aims to uplift families and promote health within the community, paving the way for a future of improved well-being in Fiji.
