Education is Key: Making Communities Whole
Health is indeed wealth. And now more than ever, the world is need of people who can teach and share with others how to live their best lives now by living a holistically healthy life from the inside out. This is why we're happy to announce that we're now offering scholarships in the field of holistic health and fitness.
In addition to the individual benefits, having a fit and healthy community has a number of positive ripple effects. For example, healthy people are less likely to use healthcare services, which can save money and resources. Healthy people are also more likely to be productive members of the workforce and contribute to the economy. And last but not least, a healthy community is a happy one. One that shows compassion for their neighbors both near and far, and works to maintain balance for all, in what sometimes seems to be a very unbalanced world.
On a global scale, the importance of becoming a fitness and holistic wellness professional can be seen in the growing epidemic of depression, obesity, and chronic diseases. The World Health Organization estimates that over 1.9 billion adults worldwide are overweight or obese, and that noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes account for 74% of all deaths globally. Health and wellness trainers and teachers can play a vital role in helping people to reverse these trends and improve their overall health and well-being.
Overall, becoming a provider and teacher of holistic wellness services can make a real difference in the lives of individuals and communities around the world.
