Similar to other developed nations around the world, Hong Kong has seen a shift from infectious to chronic and degenerative diseases as the primary causes of death. Two of the leading causes of death today are cancer (29.3%) and heart disease (12.7%)*, while the prevalence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity also continues to increase. Experts believe that the best way to prevent these types of health problems is to change our lifestyle habits.

For over 30 years, the Lifestyle Management Center has been helping clients rebuild their lifestyle habits and restore their health.

The NEWSTART™ Program was developed by the Weimar Institute in California and aims to help clients prevent and treat chronic diseases through lifestyle change. The program is advocated by renowned doctors and scientists all over the world, including cardiologist and champion of preventive medicine, Dr. Dean Ornish, as well as Dr. T. Collin Campbell of Cornell University.

“NEWSTART™” is an acronym for the program's eight lifestyle principles:

Nutrition: Adopting a whole food, plant-based diet
Exercise: Enhancing blood circulation and physical fitness
Water: Purifying the blood and promoting detoxification
Sunlight: Strengthening the bones and relieving depression
Temperance: Abstaining from harmful substances and behavior
Air: Activating body cells and improving physical function
Rest: Balancing work and rest to repair damaged cells
Trust in God: Knowing a trustworthy, faithful God

Experts believe that these eight principles are crucial to achieving complete health.

Participants will check into the health center and through classes, demonstrations, and practical exercises, rebuild their lifestyle habits physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.

Over the years, the Program has achieved a wealth of positive results:

50% of type 2 diabetics no longer need insulin injections or medication after 18 days
50% of all hypertensive patients see their high blood pressure return to normal levels
80% of those who suffer from diabetic neuropathy are pain-free after 18 days
Some participants report a 40% drop in cholesterol levels at the end of the Program

*based on 2021 vital statistics provided by the Department of Health, Centre for Health Protection
