Did you know that only 66 percent of Filipinos actually believe that they are knowledgeable on health? Surprisingly, 57 percent of these Pinoys do not engage in any physical activity or exercise to stay fit and healthy. These details was based from a recent study conducted by Watsons Insights on Shoppers Experience (WISE), a division of the world’s biggest international health and beauty retailer, A.S. Watson Group.
Let’s admit it. The said research only shows that while we are indeed interested on health per se, we don’t practice what we preach. Perhaps it is due to our hectic schedule that we tend to forego any physical fitness activity.
#GetActive with Watsons
Watsons, the leading health and beauty chain in the Philippines recently launched #GetActive campaign. With a vision to empower Filipinos to be healthy by means of small, frequent changes in everyday routine to further improve our health as a whole.
Being healthy means doing major lifestyle changes so we need to adjust and to really make time to spend exercising, choosing nutritious foods and maintaining a well-balanced diet.
From Watsons’ Marketing Director, Viki Encarnacion, “Watsons #GetActive campaign is one of our continuous efforts and part of our commitment to [improving] the lives and health of Filipinos by inspiring them to take small steps to improve their health. Small steps such as drinking more water, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, taking deep breaths in between work e-mails, walking from one building to another instead of riding a car or taxi if it’s just in the same area, walking your dog during weekends, and smiling more often can go a long way for our health. The list of small steps which we can do is endless, our days are full of opportunities to do these and Watsons can be their partner to improve their health.”
