Educating younger generations to healthy lifestyles

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.

Wellness Highlights
In the EU less than 3% goes to preventive care On average in the EU, public and private expenditure on preventive care account for less than 3% of total health expenditure, while 97% is dedicated to cure.
Health, happiness and the Wellness Economy A recent report by the Global Wellness Institute highlighted for the first time the relationship between the wellness economy and life satisfaction in 218 countries. In those countries where the expense of wellness products and services is higher, people are on average happier and more satisfied with their lives.
The role of exercise and physical activity on mental health 280 million people around the globe suffer from depression, which is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Research overwhelmingly supports a beneficial role of exercise and increased physical activity for addressing mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety.
New report on childhood obesity in Europe WHO Europe has published a new Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative (COSI) report, measuring trends in overweight and obesity among 411.000 children aged 6-9 years in 33 countries (out of 45 countries that participated in the fifth round).
The global cost of physical inactivity The World Health Organization recently published The Global status report on physical activity 2022, measuring the extent to which governments are implementing recommendations to increase physical activity across all ages and abilities.
