Premier global nutrition company, Herbalife Nutrition, has launched the inaugural Get Moving With Good Nutrition Challenge in the country. Aimed at breaking the health inertia, inspiring healthy active living, and fostering communities that support one another on their healthy living journey, the Challenge centers upon the Herbalife Nutrition 40th Anniversary Virtual Run as its highlight activity.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), physical inactivity can have serious implications on a person’s health. Sedentary lifestyles not only double the risks of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity, they also increase the risks of colon cancer, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, lipid disorders, depression and anxiety, making it one of the most serious yet understated health risks today.

“After months of sedentary living under quarantine for months, it is high time for us to start moving once again to get our health back on the right track. With the view that some of us may need an extra push to take the first step towards restarting healthy active living, our inaugural Get Moving With Good Nutrition Challenge aims to do just that. From the Virtual Run, to the e-Wellness Tour, to the expert-led online fit sessions, nutrition talks and more, these activities are designed to help us restart positive nutrition and active living habits, and provide encouragement to one another for their healthy living journey,” said Sridhar Rajagopalan, Senior Director/ Sub-Regional General Manager of Herbalife Nutrition Philippines.

For the team category, we have the 40km, 60km, 80km, and 100km—which they can also collectively accomplish in a month. They can do it indoors and outdoors, anywhere they are comfortable in,” said Rajagopalan.
