Behind every Success is a Story to share.  How will you foresee yours and turn it into a reality, now that’s what almost everyone wants to achieve. Give the best healthcare and ensure your love ones whatever fate bring-forth, is something to really consider.
​
My first media event this year was dubbed, “SUNLIFE ASIA HEALTH INDEX RESULTS and WELNESS CAMPAIGN”.

I remember coming across a viral story over the net, where a billionaire died and her widow happens to marry their driver. Ironic, and kind of hit me that everybody wants to be both the billionaire and the driver. But as the old saying goes, you can’t bring your wealth to the grave. So why not be both Healthy & wealthy. Such a doable goal but with a derailed mindset equates to a gloomy future.

The Philippines tops the list of countries in Asia where people don’t exercise regularly, according to this year’s Sun Life Financial Asia Health Index. Most of us practice either YOYO dieting or Ningas-kugon attitude (always good at first set).
​

Thailand and Malaysia tied with Philippines tied on the list, with more than half of the population (61%) in each of the three countries not engaging in any regular physical activity. The common culprit that identify the barriers to living a healthier life, 57% of Filipinos blamed it on their lack of time due to work, 47% admitted that it is due to “lack of personal motivation,” while 47% also identified “distractions of modern life”. Other key barriers named were cost (45%) and the lack of accessible venues to engage in sports and recreation (36%).

With the aforementioned findings, it appears that the population dubbed “Generation O” still exists.
Composed of individuals who are overworked, overweight and overwhelmed, “Generation O” is a segment of the population first identified in the 2014 survey of the Sun Life Financial Asia Health Index. The latest study finds Generation O continuing to struggle with their health goals.

But there is hope. The Asia Health Index also showed that Filipinos are still very positive about the state of their health. In fact, the Philippines scored the highest of all the markets surveyed on the overall Health Index, garnering a score of 89. Respondents from the Philippines were the most positive in Asia about their emotional health, wherein they were the most likely in the region to say that their emotional health is “good or “extremely good”; and was second most positive in the region (behind Indonesia) when it comes to their physical health.

“With all the things that demand our time and attention, it’s usually our health that suffers because it’s relegated to the least of our priorities. However, this should not be the case,” Sun Life President and CEO Riza Mantaring said. “This is why we at Sun Life have been boosting our suite of wellness products and mounting events that would help Filipinos to pursue their health goals.”
 
Sun Life recently launched SUN Fit and Well, a new generation wellness product that offers comprehensive life and health protection from childhood all the way to the golden years. While most products offer benefits only when an illness strikes, SUN Fit and Well covers our needs from prevention, to diagnosis, to treatment, and all the way to rehabilitation.
 
For prevention, SUN Fit and Well provides access to GoWell, Sun Life’s wellness program where members can enjoy special privileges that will help them keep mind and body fit. This includes easy access to health and wellness information, fitness and wellness events, nutrition and health experts, and more.
 
“Sun Life remains committed to helping Filipinos face a brighter tomorrow by being in the best of health,” Mantaring said. “The results of the Asia Health Index reiterate the need to promote a healthier lifestyle, and Sun Life wants to be the Filipinos’ partner in pursuing this journey.”
 
The Sun Life Financial Asia Health Index is a periodic study of health trends in Asia that was launched in 2014. The research is based on the findings of an Ipsos survey conducted In August 2016. A sample of just under 4,000 Asians from 25 to 60 years of age and with middle class incomes was interviewed online from Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The survey questioned respondents on their attitudes towards healthy and active living, their health concerns for the future and expectations on access to healthcare.

My take on this:
​
Goal Setting

Goals should always serve as a reminder, that we live for the day and as diligent as possible do something that will make us draw near a specific goal.

Goals should also serve as an alarm clock that awakens our core every time we go on a hibernate mode. It should bypass the snooze mode for us to see the perks of having a well-designed plan for the day.

Goals also provide us the right partners as we explore our day to day activities. We maybe a rockstar in our own different playing field but there’s SUNLIFE FINANCIAL that will always be the catalyst for us to fruitfully achieve our goals.
