WITH the ongoing pandemic, the need for a healthy lifestyle has never been greater.
Living healthy doesn’t just mean being physically active. It includes cultivating healthier eating habits as well as maintaining our mental health.
As a leader in nutrition, Herbalife Nutrition has taken the lead in supporting healthier lifestyle changes.
The pandemic has greatly affected our quality of life, with the 2021 Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific Health Inertia Survey indicating that more than six in 10 Malaysian respondents reported less than ideal physical and mental health.
A surprising 82% indicated lack of physical activity due to poorer physical health, along with other factors such as eating more unhealthy foods (42%) and lack of community support (34%).
Meanwhile, 70% of respondents identified staying home more as the cause of deteriorating mental health, as well as lack of outdoor activities (60%) and stress from work and economic uncertainty (34 %).
While this is alarming, there is also an overwhelming majority of Malaysians who become health conscious and make an effort to exercise and eat a healthy and balanced diet.
Additionally, in this age of technology, there is an increase in communication channels, devices and apps to support exercise and keep us all connected with like-minded people who can provide vital support and motivation.
Main factors to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
As an expert in nutrition, Herbalife Nutrition strikes a balance between providing good nutrition in the form of health and dietary supplements and encouraging Malaysians to live a healthy lifestyle.
Quality products are key to Herbalife Nutrition, so you can be sure you’re getting quality products with consistency and efficacy backed by science. Scientific rigor and research are applied from conceptualization to final product and only the best and best ingredients are used.
A strict quality control process is employed as products are tested in-house and in particular sports products are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of banned substances, ensuring your peace of mind.
On the physical side, the company has launched initiatives like its Get Moving with Good Nutrition program. The Virtual Run initiative under this program encourages people to record their daily run or walk to inspire and motivate a healthy lifestyle. It attracted more than 5,000 participants, an encouraging number that shows that people can lead healthier lives with the right encouragement and support.
Herbalife Nutrition has also worked with UiTM and the Institut Sukan Negara to share their expertise in nutrition, particularly sports nutrition, to create understanding of proper nutrition to nourish the body.
Meanwhile, the Shape Up for 2022 program calls on all Malaysians to enter the New Year as the best version of themselves. This program is specially made to encourage and motivate Malaysians to overcome Covid-19 to develop healthy lifestyle and eating habits.
Herbalife Nutrition Month will be inaugurated in March, where virtual activities will be carried out with the aim of educating and cultivating a healthy life for the benefit of all. During this month, Herbalife Nutrition will also be attempting to enter the Malaysian Book of Records for ‘Most Participants in a Virtual Event’.
Herbalife Nutrition aims to make a 50 million positive impact on people and the planet by 2030.
To this end, the company has published its Global Responsibility Report, which aims to achieve a 50 million positive impact on people and the planet by 2030, an important year for Herbalife Nutrition, as it will celebrate its 50th anniversary at that time.
To educate Malaysians and raise awareness, Herbalife Nutrition has also partnered with the Malaysian Nutrition Society to educate people about nutrition.
Chin advises everyone to eat every day and not just during the pandemic.
Herbalife Nutrition Malaysia and Singapore Senior Director/General Manager Steven Chin advises: “Get nourished every day, not just during the pandemic. Don’t just feed yourself, nurture yourself. It will help make a difference in the long run.”
Chin adds that the company will continue to hold virtual workshops to continually provide information and tips on healthy living from trained experts, saying, “For Herbalife Nutrition Month, our Nutrition Advisory Council expert, Dr. Dana Ryan , Director of Sports Education and Performance, will speak at HERBALIFE24, a sports nutrition and toning show.”
On a broader scale, Herbalife Nutrition is supporting mental health, environmental and social initiatives around the world to raise nutrition awareness and deliver nutrition. It also actively participates in programs to reduce unnecessary waste, such as recycling programs.
