Manna for People in collaboration with Mana Vida, MR.J Sports and Entertainment, and Macau Tower. “Says Yes” to Global Wellness Day is a one-day event that celebrates health and wellbeing, and it will be taking place on June 12, 2021 at Macau Tower.
Once again, Macau will be united with hundreds of wellness organizations from more than 72 countries around the world to support proactive wellness both physically and mentally. Global Wellness Day is based on the simple premise of increasing global consciousness of living a better life; it aims to draw attention on healthier choices with a one-day event.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one of the top health problem in the world is, surprisingly, not a virus or a disease but depression – an affliction, which is linked to sleeplessness, stress and obesity. The focus of this year has been entitled as “protecting our mental wellness”.
The non-profit project created in Turkey by Belgin Aksoy in 2011, is being embraced by the wellness world and has now also been accepted as a Global Wellness Institute initiative: “In a world where 1 in 10 people live with a mental health disorder, necessary steps to protect our minds and soul must be taken. Young people are more vulnerable than adults; according to a study, those aged 16 to 24 are the group most likely to report feeling lonely, especially those who are shy and introverted, and COVID-19 has only exacerbated the situation. Never has Global Wellness Day’s message of One Day Can Change Your Whole Life been more meaningful.”
In Macau, we are proud that many in our Institute network, such as Manna for People, a local NGO with the mission to promote wellness and educational events to the community, ManaVida, MR.J Sports and Entertainment, and Macau Tower are embracing this important campaign.
This year, Macau Global Wellness Day is bringing people of all ages a series of complimentary wellness activities such as Aerial silks, Zumba, Pilates, dance, Stretching, Newly Engaging Sports Experience and many more. All will be conducted by many professionals within the local wellness industry. Workshops related to nutrition including Kombucha, homemade nut milk, aromatherapies within others will be conducted by local SMEs.
In addition, local companies will be offering the community a handful of free experiences such as Farming, Massage and Game zones – all to raise the awareness of the local community on "One day can change your whole life." This is a day for all family members to participate! Our aim is also to collaborate with local SME by providing them a location to expose their business and create a business network platform related to health and wellness. Compared to the average of 30 supporting entities in the previous years, this year we are collaborating with 40 SMES and local NGOS.
The campaign challenges people to change one aspect of their lives for a day and outline seven steps to better wellness: What will you say “yes” to today?
– Drink more water
– Walk for an hour
– Shop locally & eat organically
– Stop using plastic bottles
– Do a good deed
– Eat a family dinner
– Go to bed at 10pm
We all believe that both the community of Macau and the World need it! We count on all the communities’ support to share this event, participate and SAY YES for a new healthy beginning!
