Health Fest 2023 also breathed Well-being

Health Fest 2023 respirou também Bem-estar

Lisbon hosted this Saturday the fourth edition of one of the largest healthy lifestyle events. As expected, well-being was one of the most valued factors, with Serenity SPA being present at the Health Fest .

During the afternoon, those present were able to enjoy a demonstration massage, thus benefiting from direct contact with the Art of Well-being to experience a unique sensation of relaxation.

The appreciation of this health component was also promoted by sharing knowledge, starting with the openness of the Serenity SPA therapists present at the Health Fest to answer the most varied questions from those present.

On the other hand, “The importance of a healthy lifestyle in professional performance” was the theme of a Talk that brought together on stage Maria d'Orey, Regional Director of the brand, and Marco Galinha, President of Global Media Group and Grupo BEL.

“A healthy lifestyle is much more than just physical exercise: it also involves good nutrition, quality sleep and relaxation”

Maria d'Orey began by highlighting the importance of investing in a healthy lifestyle to improve professional performance, remembering, however, that “true well-being is only possible with a multiple set of factors present”.

The Director of Serenity SPA highlighted nutrition, rest and relaxation, and also valued close contact with nature. “In my specific case, after each workout, I make a point of ending my routine with a revitalizing dip in the sea. This practice truly rejuvenates my body and mind,” she began by saying. “I have noticed a significant increase in my energy, focus and productivity. I feel more capable of facing professional challenges with clarity and resilience.” – she added.

Maria d'Orey also took the opportunity to share with those present some scientific phenomena that support the importance of the practices mentioned in improving professional performance. Increased blood flow and the release of endorphins, in the case of physical activity, and increased production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of happiness, caused by contact with the sea, were some of the examples mentioned.

Marco Galinha also added relevant data on the relationship between physical activity and health, stating that “sport is part of mental hygiene” and giving examples such as the lower percentage of prostate cancer incidence among high-level cyclists.

ACTIVE Gym's Enigma Class challenged attendees

ACTIVE Gym was also at the Health Fest, with the pair of teachers present signing one of the most active moments of the day.

For half an hour, and at full intensity, ACTIVE professionals led an open class that challenged everyone present at LX Factory.

In the end, the inevitable exhaustion was visible in all participants, but never superior to the good energy and the feeling of overcoming.
