Health is Wealth
Wellness is a social opportunity and today even more a priority: 

  • for people to stay healthy and live better and longer,

  • for companies and organizations to improve productivity and realize the full potential of their staff, 

  • and for Governments to implement cost-effective and sustainable public health programs focused on prevention.

Wellness every day, everywhere

Wellness is a lifestyle choice that all of us can make. It increases quality of life and has a positive impact on both physical and mental health. Regular exercise is the key to chronic disease prevention. Research shows that physical activity also contributes to improving self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and mental energy, as well as relieving stress and anxiety.

A lifestyle that can be adopted at any age and in any place based on:

Wellness Valley, the first district of Wellness 

Since 2003 the Wellness Foundation has promoted and coordinated the “Wellness Valley” project, which aims to make the Italian region of Romagna the first district for knowledge and culture on wellness and the good quality of life.

The project was launched by Nerio Alessandri; today it involves over 250 public and private stakeholders from the area.
