Leading nutrition and health experts to lead
educational programs on balanced nutrition and healthy active
lifestyles across 25 cities in October
Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), a leading global nutrition company, is
launching its second Asia-Pacific Wellness Tour in October, which
will see six of its Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB)
members and experts visit a total of 25 cities in the region:
Australia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea,
Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan,
Thailand and Vietnam.
Building on the success of the inaugural Asia-Pacific Wellness
Tour held earlier this year, which saw more than 20,000 in
attendance, the October edition of the tour seeks to further
amplify public awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition
and healthy lifestyles in an increasingly time-strapped world.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.4
billion adults are overweight and at least 2.8 million adults die
each year as a result of being overweight or obese – which is
linked to several chronic lifestyle illnesses including diabetes
and heart disease. In addition, populations are aging in every
country, making it vital for people to adopt good nutrition and
fitness habits early in life in order to remain healthy and
independent well into old age.
“Herbalife nutrition products directly address the growing
trends of rising obesity rates, an aging population and increasing
consumer awareness of the need for a healthy lifestyle. Through our
wellness tour in Asia Pacific, we aim to highlight the impact of
these issues on public health, and through our nutrition experts,
share practical, balanced nutrition tips and positive lifestyle
habits to help people live healthier lives,” said Michael O.
Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer, Herbalife.
A key highlight of the wellness tour is a series of public
health seminars presented by the Herbalife NAB members. At the
seminars, the NAB members will address key health and nutrition
topics including current health trends, the importance of
understanding the human body, and how to ensure good nutrition. The
seminars are open to the general public, as well as to Independent
Herbalife Members.
An exciting first for this wellness tour is a series of medical
symposia to be held in Korea, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and
Taiwan. The medical symposia will look at the core issues facing
public health and provide a forum for industry professionals and
healthcare experts to discuss the importance of balanced nutrition
and healthy active lifestyles to our overall well-being.
