Wellness is the
central trend for the coming decades

worldwide are overweight. With the Wellness Industry now projected to grow very rapidly,
this is one of the outstanding health industry opportunities of
the decade.

How Did This Happen?
The increase of technology and packaged foods; our dependence on
motor transportation rather than walking; our sedentary lifestyles;
and our busy schedules that leave us little time to prepare healthy
meals or exercise
have led us down a morbid path.
- Gaining weight and getting sick
is easier than ever. Our busy lifestyles don't support the healthy choices that can help
prevent the development of problems in
later years. Today, many people are not getting what doctors
consider essentials for optimal health in terms
of diet, exercise or lifestyle habits.

World renowned economist and author, Paul Zane Pilzer,
former economic advisor to two United States Presidents
predicts the Wellness Industry will be the next major force in
worldwide business, reaching an annual turnover of 1 TRILLION
dollars by the year 2010.
In his best selling book "The Next Trillion: How the fortunes of
the new millennium will be created in the Wellness Industry",
Pilzer exposes the truth about why half the developed world
population is unhealthy and overweight, how we have
become caught between the economic interests of the
trillion-dollar food industry and the trillion-dollar healthcare
or "sickness" industry.
Pilzer explains why consumers will turn away from consuming more
material goods and instead seek to achieve internal
self-improvement - healthier foods, vitamins, nutritional
supplements and fitness programs - and why consumers will create
a virtually limitless and sustained demand for wellness-based
products.
In his book he says:
"The greatest opportunity in all products of new technology,
traditionally and in the future is in the DISTRIBUTION of those
products," he writes, "....the real money is made by people who
carry that invention from the laboratory to the consumer, and
make an impact on that consumer's life. Those people are the
DISTRIBUTORS of Wellness Products and Services.
We are starting to see the emergence of a wellness
distribution business... a business of people who educate
people about products and services that will improve their
health and develop customer relationships and then people will
go back to their distributor of that product for more and more
information on food and health.
The number one reason of all reasons (people) turn on the
Internet is to find out information about health and wellness.
HEALTH is the most popular subject on the web.
Ten years from now...we will look back on this time with the
Internet as the BEGINNING of the health and wellness information
EXPLOSION that the Internet is causing."

What is Wellness? “
The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained
by proper diet, exercise and habits.”–American Heritage Dictionary
“Wellness is about waking up every morning and having enough time,
energy and freedom to live the life you want.”
The Keys to Optimum Wellness
1 – Balance Your Diet
You need to get enough of the right foods including colourful fruits
and vegetables, protein, good carbohydrates and just enough good fats
for the taste you want. You also need vitamins, minerals and fibre from
dietary supplements to provide the nutrition missing from your diet that
your cells need for good health.
2 – Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise can help you feel and look your best. Exercise
conditions your heart and relieves stress and makes it easier to achieve
and maintain a healthy body weight.
3 – Drink Lots of Water
Your body is about two-thirds water. In an average day, you lose
at least one pint of water even without excessive sweating. To feel your
best, you should drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.
- Steps for Achieving Optimum
Wellness:
Have an evaluation of your personal wellness.
Identify key areas you need to impact to reach your wellness
goals.
Get recommendations from your Personal Wellness Coach.
Make a plan of action that you can commit to.
Get the ongoing support you need to stay on your wellness track
for a healthier future.
