Herbalife Vietnam recently supported the Life and Health Newspaper under the Ministry of Health to organise the “Better Me” awards ceremony to encourage people to make positive changes to their bodies through science-based nutrition combined with regular exercise.
The contest, which has been organised for the second time, is broadcast live on VTC1 and on the suckhoedoisong channel on Youtube, Facebook and TikTok.
Starting from September 6 to December 6, the initiative received over 3,500 entries from people nationwide who come from diversified career backgrounds and different ages, and have the same aspiration to become better versions of themselves.
In the final round, the 12 most outstanding contestants were selected for the Awards Ceremony on December 15, with one special prize, one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes and five fourth prizes. The organising team also awarded “Inspiring Character” Awards to two contestants with the most inspiring stories.
Vu Van Thang, general manager for Herbalife Vietnam and Cambodia said: “We are delighted to see that the initiative has continued to receive a high response from participants around the country, helping create more positive impacts on the health and well-being of people and communities.
The impressive results of the 2023 Contest have once again indicated that Vietnamese people are increasingly health conscious, and nutrition and fitness knowledge together with social support are among the key elements allowing for living healthier and achieving long-term wellness goals.”
According to the Việt Nam National Institute of Nutrition, the country has about 12.5 million new cases of people with hypertension, 3.5 million people with diabetes and 2 million people with cardiovascular diseases each year as a result of nutritional imbalance and lack of physical activity and sports. In addition, according to a survey by the Ministry of Health, 28.7 per cent of the Vietnamese population face health risks as a result of their lack of exercise. — VNS
