Amena Lee Schlaikjer is a global citizen, uprooted every 2 years since birth as a diplomat brat under the guise of an American passport from her Amero-Danish-Dutch father, but strongly grounded in the humbled village roots of her aboriginal Taiwanese mother. “Lifestyle” and “Life Choices” of people have always been her passion and manifested in an early career in fashion and cosmetics, later evolving into the world of marketing and innovation. Tired of manipulative messaging and after battling a long bout of insomnia, followed by a year of yoga and wellness research, Amena decided to concentrate on products and services with authentic intentions and therefore launched ‘The Wellness Works’. TWW is a creative network of practitioners passionate about bringing mindful stories, responsible brands and healthy events to market through company workshops and ideas. She also sits as acting Shanghai Manager for Asia-Pacific LOHAS, a wider community of LOHASians (or people who aspire towards Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability).

If the major risk factors for chronic disease were eliminated,
75% of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes would be
prevented; and 40% of cancer would be prevented.
The Chinese Health Education Center
have stated that around 9.7 percent of
Chinese who are 18 or over have
developed diabetes (around 97 million
people in total).
Cardiovascular Disease (CVDs) are the
leading cause of death in China.
Cancer is now the leading cause of
death in urban China, representing 25%
of all deaths in cities and 21% of deaths
in the countryside. The WHO has
estimated 1,000,000 lung cancer
diagnoses alone per year by 2025.

There are a large number of people in China that feel older at a younger age. Much of this is due to lifestyle factors and
the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (the four main types of “NCDs” being cardiovascular disease, cancer,
chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes) being largely preventable by lifestyle choices that tackle shared risk factors,
namely: tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol. It’s important to lead a healthy
lifestyle when you are young so that you can live a longer, healthier, happier life. As an insurer that is not only concerned
about illness, we want to guide you on a journey to discover your well-being with our wellness zone. Through this
journey, you can be reminded of the simple lifestyle elements you can change in order to feel younger for longer, mini-
