The festival where healthy resolutions get abandoned

With yummy dishes like the poon choy seen in this filepic, it’s no wonder that 88% of Malaysians eat more than usual during Chinese New Year.

It probably won’t come as a big surprise that Chinese New Year is the second most challenging holiday for Malaysian consumers to continue exercising and eating healthily, after Ramadan and Hari Raya Puasa.

This is the result from Herbalife Nutrition’s Asia Pacific Holiday Eating Survey 2019, conducted with 5,500 respondents across Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
