Held in conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Wellness Tour, the Herbalife Nutrition Day is a large-scale public event that is being held for the first time ever by Herbalife. A variety of activities will be conducted across the countries to raise awareness of the importance of good nutrition and healthy active lifestyles to our overall well-being.

Rahn, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Herbalife Asia Pacific.
"We believe healthy living is founded upon balanced nutrition -- consuming a healthy mix of protein, carbohydrates, beneficial fats and other nutrients -- and regular exercise combined with adequate rest and hydration. We hope that our inaugural Herbalife Nutrition Day event will inform, through education and participation, and encourage people to make positive long term changes to their lifestyles," he added.
The Herbalife Nutrition Day will feature fun public participation activities including mass Zumba, Yeba and core workout sessions led by fitness experts; nutrition and weight management talks hosted by experts from the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board; opportunities for body weight and fat analyses, as well as complimentary sampling of Herbalife nutritional shakes for all participants.
