What's Happening?
Alpro Group Malaysia has introduced the 2026 Health & Habit Calendar, a new initiative aimed at promoting daily self-care among Malaysian families. This calendar is designed to address the prevalent lifestyle-related health risks in Malaysia, where 54.4%
of adults are overweight or obese, as reported by the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019. The calendar offers practical and medically credible guidance on nutrition, rest, movement, emotional wellbeing, and preventive care. It is developed with insights from pharmacists, family doctors, nutritionists, and dietitians. The initiative also has a social mission, with all proceeds going to the Alpro Foundation’s Growing Stars Project, which supports educational opportunities for underprivileged children.
Why It's Important?
The launch of the 2026 Health & Habit Calendar is significant as it addresses the growing need for preventive self-care in Malaysia, where lifestyle-driven diseases are on the rise. By providing accessible health guidance, the calendar aims to reduce long-term health risks and healthcare costs. This initiative not only promotes healthier lifestyles but also supports community health and education through its charitable component. The calendar's focus on practical, everyday habits makes self-care more achievable for families, potentially leading to a healthier population and reduced strain on the healthcare system.
What's Next?
The 2026 Health & Habit Calendar is now available for purchase online and at Alpro subsidiaries. Alpro Group encourages public, organizational, and corporate support to make preventive self-care a daily habit in Malaysian homes. As the calendar gains traction, it may inspire similar initiatives in other regions, further promoting the importance of self-care and preventive health measures globally.
