Many of us don't think about bone and joint issues until later in life, but our everyday habits today can make a difference in the long run
According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, one in two Malaysians leads a sedentary lifestyle, while one in three is not physically active. These habits contribute to growing concerns about long-term mobility and musculoskeletal health.
That's why BLACKMORES is shining a spotlight on preventive bone and joint health at the Jom!Fit Carnival, encouraging people to start building healthier habits before problems arise.
The event is happening from now until 26 July at One Utama and is part of their 'More Health, More Life' initiative in collaboration with CARiNG Pharmacy.
One of the carnival's biggest highlights is the 500 Wellness Laps Challenge, where you can get moving by completing laps around the event space
Complete the challenge and you can receive exclusive event rewards!
BLACKMORES is also contributing 200 wellness products to participating running clubs in recognition of their efforts in inspiring more Malaysians to stay active.
The activity reflects BLACKMORES' belief that better long-term health is built through small, consistent actions rather than drastic lifestyle changes.
Even if running isn't your thing, there's plenty more to explore throughout the carnival
You can take part in:
- Health screenings
- Physical challenges
- Pharmacist consultations
- Family-friendly activities
Whether you're stopping by with friends, bringing the family, or simply curious about your own health, the event offers plenty of opportunities to learn something new about preventative healthcare while having fun.
As BLACKMORES celebrates 50 years of supporting Malaysians on their health and wellbeing journey, the company hopes to inspire people to embrace preventive health through its 'More Health, More Life' initiative
"At BLACKMORES, we believe better health starts long before health concerns arise. As a brand with more than 90 years of heritage in natural health and 50 years of serving communities in Malaysia, our responsibility extends beyond providing trusted health solutions.
"We are committed to raising awareness, encouraging healthier everyday habits and empowering people to take charge of their long-term health. Through our 'More Health, More Life' vision and partnerships with trusted healthcare partners such as CARiNG Pharmacy, we hope to inspire more people to take proactive steps towards their wellbeing and make preventive health a natural part of everyday life," said Andrew Fuary, Managing Director Asia at BLACKMORES Group.
For CARiNG Pharmacy, the collaboration reflects its commitment to making preventive healthcare more accessible through trusted community pharmacy services
"Community pharmacies are often the first place people turn to for everyday health advice and support. At BIG CARING Group, we see this opportunity to make healthcare more accessible, empower informed health decisions and encourage Malaysians to take a more proactive approach to their health.
"That is why we are proud to partner with BLACKMORES on Jom!Fit Carnival. By combining BLACKMORES' expertise in natural health with CARiNG Pharmacy's trusted network and strong community presence, we hope to make preventive health closer to the communities we serve and inspire more Malaysians to embrace healthier habits that support their long-term wellbeing," said Lim Sin Yin, Executive Director of BIG CARING Group.
