Our 2024 “Habits and Healthspan” survey pulls back the curtain on the disconnect between what we know and what we need to do in order to improve our healthspan. While most folks have heard of ‘lifespan,’ it’s important to understand the distinction between that and our ‘healthspan.’ Amway scientist and registered dietitian, Holiday Durham, PhD, MS, RD joined Matt Barbour of WJRT, Inc. ABC12 Good Morning Mid-Michigan to discuss this difference and explain that forming healthy habits is crucial to extending our healthspan. Check out the clip!

It’s another goal for downtown Grand Rapids, and Amway helped kick it through the net.   We are proud to be named the title sponsor of the new Amway Stadium, a professional outdoor soccer stadium slated to break ground in the heart of our hometown next spring.   The 8,500-seat Amway Stadium will anchor the dynamic revitalization of the riverfront on Grand Rapids’ westside. In addition to becoming the future home of professional soccer in West Michigan, the high-performing, multi-purpose sports venue will serve youth, high school, and collegiate clubs communitywide.   Driving economic growth and development has always been at the heart of the Amway story. This latest chapter is especially meaningful, as Amway Stadium is expected to draw 17 national and international professional competitions; more than 50 community-based tournaments and events; and 160,000 visitors to downtown Grand Rapids each season. Not to mention create 330 new full-time jobs and generate $408 million in net new economic impact for the city.   The Amway investment, combined with other philanthropic commitments, catapults the Grand Action 2.0 Next Wave campaign over 80% toward its goal for private donations, too.   “For 65 years, Amway has been dedicated to investing in the people and success of our local community,” says Amway President & CEO Michael Nelson. “Transformative projects like the Amway Stadium are a testament to the pride we have in our hometown, and our commitment to shaping the growth of West Michigan and beyond for generations to come.”  The inaugural match at Amway Stadium is anticipated in the spring of 2027. #AmwayStadium #Amway #AmwayLife #GrandRapids #WestMichigan #WeAreAmway

A new study featured in Medical News Today highlights the link between low calcium and magnesium levels and poorer cognitive performance in older adults. These findings underscore how essential these nutrients may be in supporting our cognitive health as we age. In this article, Nikky Contractor PhD, global R&D leader at Amway, shares accessible sources of calcium and magnesium that we can find in everyday foods. Dairy products like milk and yogurt provide calcium, while pumpkin seeds and leafy greens are rich in magnesium. For those who prefer plant-based options, soy-based foods, chia seeds, and fortified plant milks are valuable alternatives.

We are pleased to announce the results of the 2024 “Habits and Healthspan” survey which reveals incorrect assumptions and gaps between intent and behavior as U.S. adults 18 to 70 years old struggle to incorporate consistent healthy habits into their daily routine. Nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals and botanical products are a staple in most households, with 77% of surveyed adults taking at least one supplement daily. However, despite this widespread use, nearly half of respondents – 47% – mistakenly believe that the FDA approves these products before they are sold to the public.  To read a further summary of the results from the “Habits and Healthspan” study, which includes a look at Americans facing gut health issues and healthy habits that impact our healthspan, visit AmwayGlobal.com or click the link below. #ConsumerHealth #Sustainability #Traceability #WeAreAmway #Health #HabitsAndHealthspanSurvey
