Be closer to health inside and out with Facets of Wellness.
When
people hear the word “wellness”, the first image that pops into their minds is
usually a doctor in a spotless white coat, examining a patient in the hospital.
However, health is more than just about the physical. It is over-all feeling
great in body, mind, emotion, and spirit.
Promoting this is Facets
of Wellness, a two-day exhibit and conference on holistic wellness slated on
September 14-15 at Function Rooms 1 and 2, 3rd level, SMX Convention
Center, Pasay City. It’s part of the Manila International Book Fair, the
country’s largest and longest-running book fair.
The conference will run
from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm on both days of the event. Each day will be divided
into an afternoon and evening session wherein a different aspect of wellness
will be highlighted.
Featured on the morning
session of September 14, 2012 is financial and occupational wellness. Dr.
Francisco Colayco, a well-renowned entrepreneur and financial adviser, will
speak on the topics “Be Your Own Boss” and “Healthy Money Attittudes and Habits”.
The afternoon session, on the other hand, will focus on physical and
environmental wellness with topics such as “Lifestyle Diseases: A Silent
Disaster” by cardiologist Dr. Anthony Leachon, “Sports and Fitness for a
Healthy Lifestyle” by Prof. Hercules Callanta of University of the
Philippines-Diliman’s College of Human Kinetics, “Steps to Fitness” by renowned sports
journalist and TV host Dyan Castillejo, and “Positive Nutritional Habits” by nutritionist
Dr. Sani Rose Orbeta.
The morning session of
September 15 is all about emotional and spiritual wellness with topics such as “Are
You OK?” by clinical psychologist Dr. Teresa Gustilo-Villasor and “Do You Have
a Sacred Space?” by Rev. Fr. Ruben Tanseco, SJ”. In the afternoon, the focus
shifts to mental and social wellness with talks on “Am I People Smart?” by
licensed family counselor Ms. Harriet Hormilosa, and “How Do I Take Care of My
Brain?” by neurologist Dr. Pia Banico.
On the other hand, the
exhibit will feature various booths from different industries such as medicine,
beauty, fashion and lifestyle, fitness, relaxation, food, and books. It will
run from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm on both days.
