In a refreshing boost to the wellness wave, a 47-year-old marketing director from Tangshan in Hebei Province has captured social media attention by shedding 28kg in just four months! His transformation is inspiring many to embrace healthier lifestyles across the Chinese mainland.
At a recent news conference on the sidelines of the annual national lawmakers gathering in Beijing, Lei Haichao, head of the National Health Commission, announced plans to expand weight management clinics at medical and health facilities. This effort comes amid growing concerns: a 2020 report revealed that 34.3% of adults were overweight and 16.4% were obese, with projections reaching as high as 65.3% by 2030.
In June 2024, the National Health Commission, along with other government departments, launched the "Weight Management Year" initiative. This dynamic three-year plan aims to boost public health literacy and nurture sustainable healthy habits across the Chinese mainland.
With inspiring stories like this, the wellness movement is fueling change and empowering communities—proving that with determination (and a little motivation 💪), anyone can achieve a healthier lifestyle!
