Amway Helps Stanford In First-Ever Study On Diet And Lifestyle

 
A new, first-of-its-kind research study was announced today that will analyze how changes in diet and lifestyle can impact long-term wellness and contribute to healthy aging.
Conducted by the Stanford Prevention Research Center and funded through a $10 million unrestricted gift from the Amway Nutrilite Health Institute Wellness Fund, WELL aims to identify lifestyle and environmental factors that mayhelp  people maintain their health and wellness as they age. WELL will be designed, conducted, and analyzed by scientists at Stanford Prevention Research Center and will be entirely under the control of Stanford University with no involvement by Amway in these processes so as to safeguard investigative independence.
Funding WELL is one of several investments  the company is making to advance the science of wellness.
Last month Amway released the Global Phytonutrient Report, based on research commissioned by the Nutrilite Health Institute, which revealed that most adults fall short of consuming the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables.

“Nutrilite is focused on helping people  ‘close the dietary gaps’ that 60-87 percent of us experience due to lifestyle, food availability and other factors,” said Keith Randolph, Ph.D., nutrition technology strategist at the Nutrilite Health Institute and co-author of the research published in the British Journal of Nutrition. “WELL has the potential to help us
