Proverb Of The Week

THE first Teulada Moraira Wellness Fair came to an end after a week full of different activities related to healthy lifestyles and habits.

The Feria del Bienestar, promoted by Teulada Town Council in collaboration with the Auditori Teulada Moraira, has exceeded all expectations with the participation of more than 500 people.

Residents and visitors were able to enjoy a range of activi‐ties including informative talks by experts on diet and exercise, ethnobotanical routes along local trails, pi‐ lates and fitness classes, a spice and nutrition work ‐shop, health‐related service stalls, talks on mental health, dog ‐ assisted therapy, a moonlight meditation and yoga route, as well as visits by primary schoolchildren to the municipal markets, where they were shown the bene‐fits of eating fruit and vegeta‐bles.

The councillor for Health, Susanne Katzgrau, thanked all those who made the event possible, stressing that “it is essential to be aware of the importance of looking after ourselves and knowing how to do so, both inside and out, as we have an environment that allows us to do so and we must take advantage and look after it so that future generations can also enjoy it.”
