Tianren Culture Teams with the Global Wellness Institute to Expand Reach of The Wellness Moonshot to Millions in China<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Global Wellness Institute\u2019s collaboration with the Chinese social platform shows the power of bringing culturally specific health and wellness advice to culturally specific platforms\u2014with Tianren Culture now spreading inspirational healthy living content to WeChat\u2019s 1.4 billion Chinese users<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Miami, FL \u2013 April 20, 2021 <\/strong>\u2013 The Global Wellness Institute\u2019s (GWI)\u00a0The Wellness Moonshot: A World Free of Preventable Disease<\/strong><\/a> is a campaign to eradicate preventable lifestyle disease worldwide. It\u2019s a goal as ambitious as it is urgent. To reach individuals globally, the GWI has partnered with organizations and companies that reach unique populations in order to address their specific health and wellness challenges with curated content. This is exactly what GWI\u2019s partnership with Tianren Culture, a Chinese-based, next-generation social platform whose mission is to drive positive values and lifestyles, achieves. The Wellness Moonshot: China<\/a> shares techniques and tools to improve dietary, respiratory and mental health issues and is disseminated via WeChat, the largest social media platform in mainland China with over one billion active monthly users.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo move the needle on preventable disease means galvanizing people to make everyday health changes, and to do that you need partners grounded in the culture, the language, the health needs of the population\u2014and you need to reach them where they live\u2014and in China, that is WeChat. Wellness messaging that resonates is not one-size-fits-all,\u201d said Susie Ellis, GWI chair and CEO. \u201cWe have an amazing partner in Tianren Culture that is dramatically extending The Wellness Moonshot\u2019s<\/strong> reach to the 1.4 billion people in China, or 18% of the world population. They understand how to reach Chinese people with health advice that resonates, and they\u2019re creating powerful, even poetic, content grounded in the Eastern philosophy that wellbeing comes from a harmony between humans and nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wellness Moonshot: China creatively aligns engaging wellness advice with China\u2019s ancient calendar based on 24 solar terms\u2014as health habits naturally connected to the seasons are a crucial component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. For example, the March China Moonshot encourages stretching and highlights two sacred Chinese calendar dates: March 9th<\/sup>, the Awakening of Insects – time to get out and stretch your limbs; and March 20th<\/sup>, the Spring Equinox – a time to nourish and replenish the body with specific herbs and foods).<\/p>\n

Tianren Culture, whose vision is \u201cOne Health, One Wellness,\u201d works with NGOs, investors and business partners to create high-impact social innovation initiatives to improve people\u2019s physical and mental health\u2014from supporting plant-based food innovation to investing in scientific research to promoting meditation to tackle the mental wellness crisis. It was co-founded by Chinese entrepreneur Victor Koo, chairman of Heyi Holdings; founder and former chairman and CEO of popular Chinese video streaming service, Youku; and a new GWI Advisory Board Member.<\/p>\n

With extraordinary recent economic growth and urbanization, China is suddenly facing a health crisis born of the shift to more sedentary lives and killer Western diets. Chronic, preventable diseases are growing like wildfire<\/a>: More than 50% of Chinese adults are now overweight or obese (doubling in two decades); one in five Chinese people suffer from hypertension, which kills more people there than any disease; and China has the largest number of adult diabetics (16.4 million) in the world. A World Bank<\/a>\u00a0report predicts that chronic disease will triple among Chinese people over 40 by 2030, and a December report on the crisis from the government led the nation to launch a new initiative, \u201cHealthy China 2030,\u201d to try to curb the runaway obesity and chronic disease rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs China\u2019s economic development evolves, the health issues of the Chinese population have also changed dramatically, with lifestyle-related, chronic diseases now being the leading cause of death,\u201d said Victor Koo, co-founder and CEO of Tianren Culture. \u201cAgainst this backdrop, Tianren Culture joined GWI\u2019s Wellness Moonshot<\/strong> in 2020 to do its part in making the world free of preventable diseases by introducing evidence-based wellness concepts to the Chinese audience. In 2021, Tianren Culture has gone even further, working with GWI to develop a Chinese version of The Wellness Moonshot Calendar<\/strong>,\u00a0leveraging the ancient wellness wisdom of the 24 solar terms annually.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Global Wellness Institute has also forged strategic partnerships<\/a> with leading organizations in India and Israel. Any country can lead its own moonshot charge and adapt the wellness content from the GWI\u2019s platform for its own culture.
