“Health is more important than money” is today prioritized by people from all around the world. Today, they realize that consuming unhealthy food excessively as well as keeping an inactive lifestyle is costly and could lead to the deterioration of physical health such as obesity, heart disease and cancer, as well as social and mental health. Moreover, it cause them to miss out exciting opportunities in life, and might end up paying for expensive healthcare services.

The growth of the economy has help change an individual’s behavior, especially in Asian countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand where diet is a common method used to take care of themselves.

From our report, although diet methods such as fasting or consuming only fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is still used by some, there is an increasing willingness to balance between health and keeping a lean body as they do not only consume fruits and vegetables but also proteins such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs and cheese. Moreover, exercising on a weekly basis is also incorporated to our respondents’ lifestyle.

There is an increasing willingness to spend more money on diet programs. For instance, in Thailand and Indonesia, women are willing to spend up to $30 on diet programs.

The results of our report has reflected that there are high demands for diet, however, there is only a small number of public and private companies that supply these groups of people with the appropriate goods and services.

We hope that the results of this report could generate great benefits for companies looking forward to invest in the health and wellness sector, hospitals and government.

A. Research Background

Respondents from all three countries; Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand, have many things in common on health concern issues.

A vast majority of our surveyed respondents (almost 90.0%) said they are slightly overweight [VN (88.0%) : ID (99.0%) : TH (87.0%)], because they constantly get hungry, cannot resist food and lack exercise. Therefore, they would like to loose a few kilograms in order for them to look good and feel beautiful.

Moreover, women from all three countries look over to the internet (diet sites) [VN (34.3%) : ID (43.7%) : TH (51.0%)], friends [VN (11.7%) : ID (17.3%) : TH (51.0%)] and bloggers who have a good body [VN (16.3%) : ID (7.3%) : TH (7.0%)] .

Despite the similarities, the importance given to scales varies from country to country. In Indonesia (27.6%) and Vietnam (42.3%), women expect to loose weight right after joining diet programs, but in contrast, Thai women believe that loosing weight is not necessary but what’s important is that they must come out of the program healthy.

Besides looking after themselves through diet, women in all three countries also prioritize exercising every week. In Indonesia and Thailand, more than 30.0% work out for 1-2 days per week while in Vietnam, 33.3% work out for at least 3-5 days per week.

The most popular work out methods for women in all three countries are walking [VN (71.6%) : ID (58.0%) : TH (47.3%)], and jogging or running [VN (47.8%) : ID (51.4%) : TH (36.8%)].

Government should support

farmers and producers of clean

food. Also government

should subsidize local healthy

products, which will increase

accessibility to mass.

Diet program is a challenge in one’s life. To complete it, one needs to strict

with her routine and her mind.

G. RecommendationsTaking care of oneself is gaining more popularity in Southeast Asia, especially diet. In each country, diet methods differ largely due to society, culture, and the way of life that help shape an individual’s thought and decision making.

From our results, many respondents did not succeed in diet programs for the following reasons,

Conventional diet programs were

used when in fact, diet programs

should be tailor-made to suit the

health and lifestyle of each individual.

Health sectors should work together to

develop strategies to help people build a good

health such as informing the right diet information to

the public.

With the helps from the above sectors, if you could complete what we have mentioned earlier, the health concern will be decreased, with a better quality of life.
