Since 1980, premier health and wellness company Herbalife has been changing people's lives with notable nutrition products and a business opportunity for its independent distributors to achieve their holistic wellness goals.

Herbalife experts recently highlighted the power of community during an educational session led by Dr. Luigi Gratton, Herbalife vice president for training. He emphasized Herbalife's Global Nutrition Philosophy, which champions holistic approach to well-being through balanced nutrition, regular exercise and community support.

"The main thing we have seen in the latest literature is that restricting calories leads to losing weight along with a tremendous amount of muscle. However, increasing your protein intake will prevent muscle loss. Maintaining that muscle allows you to be healthier as you age," Gratton said.

He said using the latest nutrition science and community support can help achieve health goals for the new year. He emphasized the importance of protein-rich, low-calorie diets for overall health. 

According to Herbalife's Asia Pacific Power of Community Survey, about 83 percent of APAC consumers are actively working toward health and wellness goals. Of these, 51 percent consider support groups crucial, as they offer motivation and access to a diverse network of health perspectives and resources.

Gratton also shared the results of the 2023 survey which underscored the central role of community support in helping individuals achieve sustainable health goals.

"We have long believed in the power of community to help people achieve their wellness goals. Together with our distributors who not only bring our nutrition products into communities, but also provide dedicated support, motivation, encouragement and accountability to their customers. We strive to help more people live a healthy and active lifestyle, supported by good nutrition," stated Allan Domingo, general manager of Herbalife Philippines.
