Leading nutrition and health experts to lead educational programs on
balanced nutrition and healthy active lifestyles across 25 cities in
October
LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
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.
