FIND HAPPINESS
Throughout 2020, the simple question of “How are you?” took on a whole new meaning. Most responses stemmed from economic insecurity, anxiety, disruption of daily routines, stress and mental and physical health challenges. Today, as the world heals and begins to manage the effects COVID-19 has left in its wake, our happiness and well-being must take precedence. How we achieve this inner peace comes in many forms.
The 10th Annual Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo 2021, with special thanks to Stamford Health, Exclusive Healthcare Partner, is about just that—our ability to Revitalize, Reimagine and Reenergize. Held September 11 and 12, from 11am to 5pm, at Harbor Point Boardwalk in Stamford, the Expo’s 85 vendors, sponsors and partners within the health, wellness and lifestyle fields will be a major source of information, inspiration and motivation as we regain our happiness and well-being.
According to data gathered from this year’s World Happiness Report, there were a variety of positive outcomes stemming from adverse challenges, such as the pandemic shining a light on mental health as never before, increasing public awareness and better services to address patients’ needs. The importance of structure, connectivity, physical fitness, nutrition and healthy relationships in our lives was a driving force in our ability to cope with the challenges put before us. And workplace happiness declined just before the shutdown, followed by a quick recovery, connecting the rise in morale due to the ability to work from home, supportive management and job flexibility resulting in workplace well-being.
Come and be inspired at this year’s Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo. Visit with Optimus Healthcare and learn about the “emme coalition,” which stands for Empowerment, Mindfulness, Motivation and Education and connects girls and women with the tools they need to succeed in life. Find out about the many services provided by Restore Hyper Wellness, including Cryotherapy, which has shown to reduce inflammation and releases endorphins that help alleviate pain, boost energy and metabolism and increase the body’s natural healing abilities. An estimated 75 percent of Americans are in a state of chronic dehydration. Restore also offers IV Drip Therapy to ensure proper hydration, which is essential for digestion, detoxification of the liver and kidneys and waste removal.
Enjoy free fitness classes all weekend, including sessions with Dance It Out motivator Billy Blanks, Jr. or with SamuraiFT, a high-intensity martial arts-inspired experience led by founder and martial artist Francisco Sánchez. Those interested in body science can check out BEMER, electromagnetic therapy that increases local blood flow in healthy muscles, producing optimal muscle function and performance.
What makes us each happy? Perhaps it’s setting personal fitness, nutrition or weight goals? Maybe it’s a confidence boost through skincare or a dental procedure. How about being pampered with a massage at Spavia Day Spa? Or it could be growing a family by adopting a pet from Lucky Dog Refuge. Attendees can look forward to great shopping deals and special offers from vendors which will be available during the event.
