A commitment to sharing and disseminating the knowledge <\/strong>needed for everyone to be able to improve their health<\/strong> and well-being has been part of SHA\u2019s DNA since opening its doors in 2008. In fact, SHA was born specifically with this aim: for its renowned Integrative Method<\/strong> to reach as many people as possible. This is why it created the Healthy Living Academy<\/strong>, a space where group activities<\/strong>\u2014both physical and mentally-stimulating ones\u2014are carried out and where guests can learn to achieve their optimal physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health with healthy lifestyle habits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This is also the purpose of SHA Magazine<\/strong>, a publication in which SHA experts provide healthy recommendations<\/strong> covering the different areas of its Integrative Method, from nutrition and cognitive health to physical exercise and preventive medicine. The latest tool to join this awareness-raising initiative<\/strong> is SHA Healthy Fest, an event for sharing health and wellness<\/strong> advice with the local community. Without a doubt, it is here to stay.<\/p>\n The first edition of SHA Healthy Fest<\/strong> was a success thanks to everyone involved: the Alfaz del Pi Town Council<\/strong>, which provided the Playa Del Albir Community Centre and collaborated with spreading the word about the event; the local community<\/strong>, including nearly 200 people who attended activities and talks; and SHA\u2019s multidisciplinary team<\/strong>, which shared both knowledge and treatments with the participants. Philippa Harvey, an expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine, spoke about the benefits of TCM and held private acupuncture sessions<\/strong>. Andr\u00e9s Mor\u00e1n, SHA\u2019s head chef, held two master classes on healthy cooking<\/strong>\u2014one on savoury foods and another on baked goods\u2014with a delicious tasting afterwards. Mar\u00eda Romeralo, a nutritionist, gave a talk on how to strengthen our immune system <\/strong>with food and how to prepare an energy-boosting breakfast<\/strong> to kick off our day with our batteries recharged. Doctor Paloma, a specialist in integrative medicine and psychiatry, also held a workshop on emotion coaching<\/strong>, and there was time for mind and body activities like sound therapy with Tibetan singing bowls<\/strong> and a yoga session, too.<\/p>\n Luis Morant, councillor for tourism and the environment, and Marisa Cort\u00e9s, councillor for social welfare\u2014 both from the Alfaz del Pi Town Council<\/strong>\u2014attended the event, which was inaugurated by Alfredo Bataller Parietti<\/strong>, SHA\u2019s chairman and founder, and Vicente Arques, mayor of Alfaz del Pi.<\/p>\n In addition to the treatments and activities, SHA Healthy Fest attendees could enjoy a selection of healthy snacks and drinks<\/strong>, such as olive and rosemary focaccia, apple and almond muffins, carrot and apple juice, and beetroot and green apple juice.<\/p>\n In short, SHA Healthy Fest<\/strong> is not just a two-day event where you can learn and practise healthy lifestyle habits that will allow you to reach your full potential; it is the first step to improving your overall health<\/strong> and enjoying a higher-quality lifestyle that boosts your longevity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Held on 2 and 3 December, it included talks, workshops, healthy cooking classes, and acupuncture and yoga sessions, among other activities.
