Philippine Tatler – August 2019

(vip2019) #1

T


oday, being healthy is not just based on the absence of sickness
or disease. Health includes beauty and wellness, and it has to be
treated holistically—the mind, body, and spirit must connect in order
to improve one’s overall condition. A healthy lifestyle involves a

balanced diet, taking care of one’s figure, and having a regular health


and wellness check-up. Health is a tremendous aspect in the way we


live as it is central to our happiness and overall well-being. The World


Health Organisation notes that health is an important contribution


to economic progress, as healthy populations live longer, are more


productive, and save more.


The demand for beauty and wellness services is steadily

increasing, and health products are becoming the new luxury. The


rising popularity for health and wellness trends is evident across


consumer groups, which differs immensely from the fitness and trends


that reigned in the previous decades. A holistic outlook, to ensure one’s


physical and emotional health are in sync, has become a lifestyle choice.


Medical tourism in the Philippines is also booming, attracting more than


250,000 foreign patients each year which is a testament to people


becoming more conscious of their lifestyle. In 2015, the International


Healthcare Research Centre and Medical Tourism Association ranked the


Philippines 8th in the world as a top medical tourism destination due to


the skillset of our world-class physicians, modern technology, and


the unique Filipino brand of healthcare at the right price.


Wellness centres, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals

have delved deeper on what it means to be


beautiful. For them, beauty goes beyond


physical appearance; it is all about health


from within. Laying different options and


services that embody this philosophy for


the body, these companies have made it


possible for men and women to be at their


best condition.


Philippine Tatler highlights premium

brands that promote a healthier and more


active lifestyle.
