In the busy world of today, things like your health and fitness concerns fall by the wayside as you focus on work, home and the like. A few years down the line, the junk food, lack of exercise and stress you have taken result in lifestyle diseases.

Rather than wait till tomorrow and pay the cost of an unhealthy lifestyle, it is time you start thinking about healthier options. The Health and Wellness Expo, taking place in Bahrain for the first time, is that step. While focussing on healthy living, nutrition, relaxation, spas, fitness, medical and alternative medicines, it will also tackle your mental and spiritual well being.

Held under the patronage of the health minister HE Dr Faisal bin Yaqoob Al-Hamar, the Health Expo is being organised by Bahrain Exhibition and Convention Authority (BECA) and supported by Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Bahrain Chamber of Industry and Commerce and Gulf Air.

Over 60 international and regional exhibitors are participating at the Expo, who which will exhibit their products and services vis-à-vis health, fitness and wellbeing. “Over 60 exhibitors will be covering 3000 sq. metre area at Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre. I am certain that the size will double in the years to come and I expect additional exhibitors from all over the world. Events like the expo also encourage exhibitors from all over the world to invest in Bahrain,” says BECA chief executive officer Hassan Jaffar Mohammed.

The expo will also include a lot of interesting events, seminars and workshops. The Ministry of Health will hold free health screening for visitors for lifestyle diseases like blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol.
