Well, well, well: have you heard of Global Wellness Day?

Global Wellness Day is a one-day event that will celebrate health and wellbeing, taking place on June 11t.

An afternoon of complimentary activities will be on offer, for example, at boutique wellness studio Bodhi & Ride in Port Melbourne to mark the day.

The day itself has a premise that’s simple enough: that is, aiming to increase global consciousness of living a better life, even if it’s just for one day, by drawing a focus on healthier lifestyle choices.

According to the World Health Organization, the number one health problem in the world is, surprisingly, not a virus or a disease, but depression – an affliction, which is linked to sleeplessness, stress and obesity.

So expect to learn something new on this day dedicated to the good life.  Lisa Andrews
