I Choose Wellness Nestle Event

Would you like to know your health indicators, personal health indicators?  This was the first question Cora Sager, head of Corporate Wellness of Nestle Philippines asked us during the Nestle Netizens event.

The question was vital because they believe that “If you don’t know wellness, if  personally you don’t know where you are you cannot share this with others.”

Nestle Philippines has been known as a world food company, but now they would like to step up and create an image that they are also a Health and Wellness company concerned with the Wellness of everyone.  But of course this belief is something they do not force to other people because how you live your life is always a personal choice.

Why is  Nestle into Wellness? It’s because they are concerned about the aging popularion and the increase in lifestyle diseases as found by the research of  the World Health Organization (WHO).

Did you know that 6 out of 10 leading cause of death in the Philippines are lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, cancer, chronic pulmonary diseases, diabetes and nephrosis.  Lifestyle diseases are illness caused by what we eat and what we do with our bodies.

As the World Food Company, Nestle’s  is making it their corporate responsibility to guide their consumers to proper nutrition, health and wellness that is why they launched this I Choose Wellness campaign.

They gave us a kit so we can measure our health indicators.   There is a roulette or the body mass indicator where you can see if you are overweight, underweight or normal using your height and weight.  There is a waist circumference measurement that can help indicate if you are on the low, medium or high health risk.  There is a chart you can jot down your present measurements and indicators and see your steps to wellness.  And a I Choose Wellness card with a guide on how you can be successful with this journey.  (You can download the chart at www.choosewellness.com.ph and if you want the roulette and tape measure just leave a message here and we will see how you can pick-up your kit.)

I will post more about this later I’m so sleepy.

Anyway, I had a blast thanks to Nestle and Ogilvy.  I love the cooking demo, the new things I learned about health and wellness and nice treats and goodies from Nestle!  I love the cookbook and the menu planner and the fresh milk and nesvita!  My daugther loves the kitkat and the milo.  My mom loves the My Sabaw, the creamer and coffee and the umbrella!  I also adore the pen and the clipper!  So many nutritious treat in one bag!  Thank You.
