On 24 September 2024, wellness industry leader Krip Rojanastien, Chairman and CEO of Chiva-Som International Health Resorts, shared his vision for “Multi-Generation Family Wellness and Sustainability” at the 17ال annual SpaChina Summit 2024, a key event in the global wellness industry calendar. He was invited to be a VIP speaker by Fifi Kao, Editor-in-Chief of SpaChina and Founder and Director of the event to the 400-strong audience, made up of members of the international wellness community.
Krip spoke about the concept of family wellness and its intrinsic role in living sustainably in all senses of the word, drawing from his own personal experience as the custodian of Chiva-Som, a family legacy that already spans three generations.
Celebrating 30 years in 2025, شيفا-سوم has been pioneering a sustainable approach to balancing mind, body and spirit holistically since its inception. Its philosophy is rooted in the belief that wellness and sustainability must go hand in hand.
Sustainable wellness means developing healthy lifestyle habits that can be maintained, long-term, for wellbeing and longevity by living mindfully, in tune with nature. It also means working proactively to conserve, preserve, and regenerate the world’s natural environments, and looking after the wider community.
The pressing need to tackle the challenges facing humanity, from food and water inequality and climate change which affect the most vulnerable to the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) caused by air pollution, plastic pollution and unhealthy western lifestyles drives Chiva-Som’s dedication to building wellness and sustainability into the fabric of society for the long-term. Highlighting the need for a cultural shift to address these challenges, Krip shone a light on the importance of early education to firmly reestablish our connection to the natural world, underpinning the symbiosis of planetary and human health.
From nutrition to waste management, to ensuring a healthy ageing global population, education has a key role to play in providing a better world for future generations. In turn, the wellness industry is in a unique position to inspire change, and Chiva-Som is actively promoting a culture of family wellness with the development of the new and unique offering at its newest outpost, منتجع زلال الصحي من تشيفا سوم in Qatar. Launched in 2022 on a beautiful stretch of Qatar’s northern coast in Khasooma, the resort has introduced the idea of sustainable wellness to a whole new community with its dedicated family offering. It is also the first integrated wellness resort to offer Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM).
Krip said:
‘Family units that treat ‘good nutrition’ as just ‘nutrition’. Recycling the rubbish with the kids. The sensible use of screen time. Making a post-dinner family walk a regular activity. Building sustainability and wellness into the family’s core values that sink in and get passed on.
Well-balanced children grow into well-balanced adults. Empowered children grow into empowered adults. There must be the recognition of parenting and the reassessment of work ethics, asset accumulation and pursuit of the dollar as the measure of success…. It is crucial that wellness knowledge and understanding be built in the child’s mind during their formative periods and is aimed to last a lifetime’.
Krip’s vision of building a legacy, both within his own family as well as inspiring the next generation of wellness industry champions, is inspired by his father, the founder of Chiva-Som Boonchu Rojanastien, who passed him the reins in 2007. Since that time, Krip has built on the world-class reputation of the flagship resort Chiva-Som Hua Hin, Thailand, to create a global brand focused on sustainable wellness.
Aiming to offer insights to fellow industry leaders with family businesses, Krip told how his own son, Win Rojanastien, is in a leadership role with Chiva-Som having been part of the team for the past six years, learning the ropes from the bottom up, having qualified as an architect in New York. ‘Just as families must manage their growth by thinking well beyond the immediate, so our planet’s future and our children’s future all depend on the legacy we leave behind. The seeds we plant today will provide shelter for the generations we may never see, but that is what we must do’.
The annual SpaChina Wellness Summit is a three-day event for spa professionals, spa owners and investors, and spa product and equipment brands. It provides a unique and effective communication platform for the key industry figures in China’s wellness and spa industry. The associated SpaChina Wellness & Spa Awards recognise the leaders and innovators in China’s wellness and spa industry and help to reward and promote industry quality standards.
In recent years, acupuncture has gained recognition as a complementary therapy for various health conditions, including diabetes. This ancient practice, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to promote balance and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. For those living with diabetes, acupuncture may offer several benefits that can contribute to overall wellness.
Diabetes, a chronic condition affecting millions, is characterised by high blood sugar levels due to the body’s inability to produce sufficient insulin or effectively utilise it. This condition can lead to a myriad of complications, including heart disease, kidney failure, and neuropathy. While managing diabetes typically involves a combination of medication, diet, and exercise, many individuals are exploring additional therapies to support their health.
One of the primary benefits of acupuncture for individuals with diabetes is its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels. Research suggests that acupuncture may improve insulin sensitivity, enabling the body to utilise glucose more effectively. By stimulating specific acupoints, acupuncture can enhance metabolic function, which is crucial for managing blood glucose levels.
Living with diabetes can often lead to heightened stress and anxiety, which can adversely affect blood sugar control. Acupuncture is known for its ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress. By stimulating the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters, acupuncture can help alleviate anxiety, leading to better emotional and physical health. A calmer mind can significantly improve one’s ability to manage diabetes effectively.
Poor circulation is a common issue for those with diabetes, which can lead to complications such as neuropathy and poor wound healing. Acupuncture promotes blood flow, which can enhance circulation and support overall vascular health. Improved circulation not only aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells but also helps in the removal of toxins from the body, contributing to better overall health.
Many individuals with diabetes experience chronic pain, particularly in the form of neuropathy. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in managing pain, offering a drug-free alternative to traditional pain relief methods. By targeting specific points, acupuncture can reduce discomfort and improve quality of life, allowing individuals to engage more fully in daily activities.
Acupuncture’s holistic approach means that it addresses not just the symptoms of diabetes, but also the overall well-being of the individual. By promoting balance within the body, acupuncture can support various bodily systems, leading to improved energy levels, better sleep, and enhanced emotional health. These factors are essential for anyone managing a chronic condition like diabetes.
It is important to note that acupuncture should not be seen as a replacement for conventional diabetes treatment but rather as a complementary approach. Individuals should consult with their healthcare providers before starting any new treatment regimen. When combined with traditional medical treatments, acupuncture can enhance overall wellness and improve the quality of life for those living with diabetes.
As awareness of the benefits of acupuncture for diabetes continues to grow, many individuals are discovering its potential to support their wellness journey. From regulating blood sugar levels and reducing stress to managing pain and enhancing overall health, acupuncture offers a holistic approach that can complement conventional diabetes management strategies. By embracing this ancient practice, individuals with diabetes may find new pathways to improved health and wellbeing.

At Zulal Wellness Resort we educated our guests on the importance of exercise when it comes to managing diabetes. Our team of fitness experts support in the healthiest way, providing guests with training plans to keep diabetes at bay – that the battles of diabetes are well maintained.
In this blog we will be looking at the best ways to adopt a healthier lifestyle, through cardio fitness and exercise while managing your blood sugar level, and to see which exercises to avoid:
Before starting any exercise regimen, it is vital to consult with your doctor to ensure it is safe, especially if you have any complications related to diabetes.
It is important to focus on a mix of aerobic exercises such as:
These activities help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.
Your exercise routine needs to be regular and the recommended workout duration per week:
75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercises such as:
And strength training exercises at least twice a week.
Regular checks on your blood sugar levels before and after exercise is vital, especially if you’re taking insulin or other medications that can your lower blood sugar. This helps you to understand how your body responds to exercise so that you can adjust your routine accordingly.
Always keep yourself hydrated, drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise.
The best food sources and supplements that are essential for consumption and contain fast-acting carbohydrates, in case your blood sugar drops too low during or after exercise, are:
Glucose tablets (with fast digesting high glycemic carbs)
This will help to provide glucose which directly enters the bloodstream and raises blood sugar level which leads to insulin spike, resulting to better absorption of glucose and amino acids into your muscles, resulting in a faster recovery.
Listen to Your Body
It is vital that you pay attention to your body and how it feels during exercise. If you experience dizziness or chest pain, stop exercising and consult your doctor.
Adjust Your Medication
You may need to adjust your diabetes medications or insulin dosage, depending on your blood sugar levels and how your body responds to exercise. You can do this by consulting with your healthcare practitioner to find the right balance.
There are several ways to help you maintain your blood sugar level. By incorporating regular exercise into your routine and making healthy lifestyle choices, you can effectively manage diabetes and improve your overall health and wellbeing.

One of the best ways to manage blood sugar levels effectively is to fill your diet with nutrient-rich whole foods. Here are a few of the top choices on the diabetic food list:
Make it your goal to consume a minimum of 30 g of fibre daily. This can be easily achieved by incorporating a variety of nutrient-rich foods into your diet. Think vibrant vegetables such as Brussels sprouts and artichokes, along with creamy avocados, juicy berries, and crunchy nuts and seeds. Pay special attention to chia seeds and flaxseeds, which are particularly rich sources of fibre.
Discover the essential role of chromium in supporting your body’s metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids. By incorporating foods rich in chromium into your diet, you can enhance your body’s glucose tolerance factor and maintain balanced blood glucose levels naturally. Chromium also plays a crucial part in insulin pathways, facilitating the transportation of glucose into our cells for energy production. While broccoli boasts the highest chromium content, you can also find this vital nutrient in raw cheese, green beans, brewer’s yeast, and grass-fed beef.
Magnesium contributes to the regulation of blood sugar levels by participating in glucose metabolism. Enhance your diet with magnesium-rich foods like spinach, chard, pumpkin seeds, almonds, yoghurt, and black beans to potentially alleviate symptoms associated with type two diabetes.
Healthy Fat Medium-chained fatty acids presented in coconut oil are known to help maintain stable blood sugar levels, acting as the body’s preferred energy source over sugar. Including coconut milk, ghee, and grass-fed butter in your diet can also assist in balancing blood sugar levels. Incorporate these nutritious fats into your meals and smoothies for added health benefits.
Consuming protein-rich foods has a limited impact on your blood glucose levels and can aid in slowing down sugar absorption. Among the top sources of wholesome protein are wild-caught fish, rich in inflammation-reducing omega3 fats, grass-fed beef, organic chicken, lentils, eggs, and bone broth. Incorporating these clean protein sources into your diet can offer various health benefits.
It indicates the potential of food to affect blood glucose levels. Foods with a high glycaemic index are converted into sugar more quickly after consumption than those with a low glycaemic index. For individuals managing diabetes, opting for low glycaemic foods like non-starchy vegetables, stone fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, avocados, coconut, organic meat, eggs, wild-caught fish, and raw pastured dairy is advisable.
There are also several foods that you can enjoy in moderation, provided they fit within your daily carbohydrate allotment. Here are a few examples of foods to consume in limited quantities:
As crucial as filling your plate with nutritious whole foods is the necessity of restricting foods that may cause spikes in your blood sugar levels. Here are some items on the diabetic and prediabetic food list that you should steer clear of, and these certain foods can adversely impact your blood sugar levels, instigate inflammation, and elicit immune responses. To naturally reverse diabetes, the initial step is to eliminate these foods from your diet:
Refined sugar swiftly raises blood glucose levels, with soda, fruit juice, and other sugary drinks being the main offenders. These sugary forms are swiftly absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to significant spikes in blood glucose. While natural sweeteners like raw honey and maple syrup are preferable, they can still influence blood sugar levels, so it’s best to use them sparingly. Consider transitioning to stevia, a natural sweetener with a lesser impact on blood sugar.
Grains, particularly those containing gluten like wheat, are packed with carbohydrates that quickly turn into sugar after eating. Gluten can trigger inflammation in the intestines, messing with hormones such as cortisol and leptin, and causing blood sugar spikes. Give your body a break from grains for 90 days to let it heal. After that, reintroduce sprouted ancient grains slowly and in small portions to see how your body reacts.
Standard cow’s milk and dairy products should be avoided, particularly for individuals with type one diabetes. Dairy from goats, sheep, or A2 cows—when they’re pasture-raised—can be beneficial for stabilising blood sugar. However, it’s best to steer clear of other types of dairy because the A1 casein found in conventional cow’s milk can be harmful to the body, causing an immune response like gluten.
Alcohol can dangerously increase blood sugar and lead to liver toxicity.
Remove hydrogenated and rancid oils from your diet, such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, and canola oil. These oils undergo heavy processing, subjected to high temperatures, and mixed with bleaching agents and artificial dyes. Consuming them has been associated with various health issues, including diabetes.
