Basic introduction
Health promotion refers to a kind of social behavior and social strategy that uses administrative or organizational means to coordinate all relevant social departments, communities, families and individuals to fulfill their respective responsibilities for health and maintain and promote health.
Definition of words
The most recognized definition of health promotion is the Ottawa Charter: "Health promotion is a process that urges people to maintain and improve their health".
Brundtland, former Director-General of the World Health Organization, made a clearer explanation at the Fifth Global Conference on Health Promotion in 2000: "Health promotion is to make people do everything possible to keep their spirits and bodies in the best condition, with the aim of making people know how to stay healthy, lead a healthy lifestyle and have the ability to make healthy choices."
According to the latest statement of American Journal of Health Promotion, "Health promotion is the science (and art) that helps people change their lifestyles to achieve the best health. Optimal health is defined as the level of physical, emotional, social adaptability, mental and intellectual health. Lifestyle change will be promoted through the combination of improving cognition, changing behavior and creating a supportive environment. Among the three, a supportive environment is the biggest factor affecting the continuous improvement of health status. "
The above conceptual framework puts forward three levels of optimal health latitude and health promotion.

This is a novel, fashionable, simple, relaxed and interesting employee health promotion activity popular in northern Europe-let's go to the global virtual Mara!
With the fast pace of modern cities and the increasing pressure of life and work, people's health problems are becoming more and more worrying, especially those who are sedentary in the office. We can often see people in Weibo or other platforms complaining that their health is not as good as before, making up their minds to lose weight for a long time, complaining about how difficult and expensive it is to go to the hospital, complaining about the constant emergence of waist, shoulder, leg and neck problems, and thinking of friends who died suddenly …
From the perspective of human resource management, health, as a non-renewable resource that employees depend on personally, is a very valuable asset to employees and enterprises. Our human resources and trade union departments create a corporate culture that cares about employees' health by organizing employee sports meetings, various sports clubs, handling employee fitness cards, annual physical examinations, health salons, employee assistance programs EAP and improving the workplace environment. However, we still find that the sub-health status of employees is still escalating, especially in economically developed areas. Overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, chronic pharyngitis, fatty liver and other health conditions have appeared in large numbers, which has brought many diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and cerebrovascular disease.
As you and I know, these chronic diseases are closely related to our eating habits and sedentary unhealthy lifestyles. But it is even more difficult to change the bad habits we have developed for a long time!
Voices from human resources and trade unions:
-We contacted a five-star gym for employees and got several thousand yuan fitness cards, but found that many employees left after taking a sauna. ...
-we are not afraid of organization, but we are afraid that employees will not participate; Employees who don't exercise are sub-healthy, and employees who exercise forcibly are not sensible and thankless!
-We organize physical examinations for employees every year, and one-on-one health consultants tell us that employees are sub-healthy and should exercise more. We gave pedometers to all employees, but most of them became decorations.
-Our employees want to exercise, but they are tired from work and have to take care of their families and children after work. They have no time to go to the gym. It's not that they have no motivation. Even if they are motivated, it is difficult for them to start exercising. If they can start, it will be difficult for them to stick to it. ...
But if there is such a way to promote health, it is:
Has sports become more relaxed and interesting?
The global virtual marathon originated in Sweden. In a short period of five years, more than 600,000 employees participated in this activity, accounting for 6.7% of the country's total population. The general feedback from employees is: 97% think this is a simple and interesting team activity; 95% people are convinced that this is a good way to start exercising; And 9 1% people think that they exercise more frequently after activities.
Let's Go Global Virtual Marathon introduces the new concept of "digital fitness", which is the perfect combination of the equipment and technology of Internet, mobile Internet and Internet of Things with sports fitness and health promotion, and also a new model of scientific and technological innovation applied to the field of national fitness. It broke the traditional practice of holding competitions in a specific group and at a specific time and place. Connecting the interactive platform of National Fitness Network together, people all over the country can upload, convert and statistically summarize sports data such as walking, swimming, cycling and ball games generated in different time periods and places in real life through mobile phone clients and step counting devices, and realize team ranking and competition, points lottery and interaction, interesting knowledge and sharing, and online supervision and management among colleagues, friends, companies, industries and regions on the same platform.
Based on the principles of health economics and the functions of the self-developed chronic disease prediction and health economic benefit return system based on Markov model, the company can regularly provide the participating companies with online analysis reports on the obvious economic benefits (ROI) brought by the change of living habits and the improvement of physical quality of the employees of the whole group, as well as health promotion solutions for the employees of the group.
"Running your own health is like running your own business, because we are fighting against our laziness and bad living habits all the time!"
