Initiative Focuses on Reducing Obesity Rates
Through Healthy and Active Lifestyles
Herbalife Nutrition (NYSE:HLF), a premier global nutrition
company, today announced a one-year partnership with the city of
Fontana to help reduce the prevalence of obesity across the city.
Thirty nine percent of the adults living in Fontana are plagued
with this chronic disease, and the partnership’s goal is to inspire
people to make positive changes to their lifestyle to increase
their life expectancy. Through a $25,000 donation, the Company will
play an integral role in the city’s health education and fitness
programs and be the presenting sponsor of the Fontana Days Run Half
Marathon & 5K on Saturday, June 6, 2020.
“Kicking off the healthy communities initiative in our backyard
and promoting our mission of healthy active lifestyles through
balanced nutrition and exercise, we are hopeful to make a lasting
change here and beyond,” said Dr. John Agwunobi, co-president and
Chief Health and Nutrition Officer, Herbalife Nutrition.
As part of the partnership, the Company will share its expertise
in the health and wellness area, lending its dietary experts to
develop customized nutrition and fitness programs to share with the
city, and engage in various events including community wellness
sessions with topics ranging from how to begin developing healthier
nutrition habits to incorporating daily exercise as part of one’s
overall routine. In addition, Herbalife Nutrition will partner with
the free “Fontana Walks” program open to the public for those who
want to take a step toward a healthier lifestyle.
“With Herbalife Nutrition’s partnership and support, we are
excited to see how offering a supportive community will set Fontana
residents up for long-term success,” said Fontana Mayor, Acquanetta
Warren.
The Company plans to use the Healthy Communities initiative as
an opportunity to collaborate with other governmental agencies
across the United States to reduce the national obesity rates,
which now affects 35% of the population, according to a 2019 report
from the State of Obesity.
