Herbalife Nutrition’s Asia Pacific Health Inertia Survey 2021 reported that out of the people who indicated that their physical health was better, 69 percent said that they consumed healthier meals and 58 percent engaged in more exercise.

In the same survey, respondents who reported better mental health cited more personal time and space to take care of their mental health, better work-life balance, eating more nutritious food and exercising more as the main reasons.

“This tells us that physical activity and good nutrition may be the keys to enhancing their overall well-being,” Stephen Conchie, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific noted.

Thankfully, technology has made exercise and a healthy diet part of your daily life more easily accessible. With health and fitness mobile apps, virtual fitness classes and videos as well as dedicated smart watches and smartphones that double up as fitness trackers, you can easily find a workout plan that fits your schedule.

Aside from engaging in exercise, it’s also important to practice good nutrition habits in your everyday life. Making the effort to consume balanced meals with a good mix of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and choosing nutrient-rich snacks will help your body get the nutrients it needs.

Having a like-minded, health-focused community around you can be the key factor that helps you keep up with your healthy active living habits. With a supportive social network to provide the encouragement to keep you going, working towards your health goals can be a fun and enjoyable journey.

“As we continue to navigate the transitions in our daily routines, we never know what kinks and bumps may come our way next. By prioritizing exercise and healthy eating as a means to foster better physical and mental health, and making use of available digital tools, platforms and communities to keep you on track, you will be setting yourself up to weather the challenges ahead with newfound health, strength and confidence,” Conchie said.
