5. Why Wellness With Vedantaa This industry is a newcomer to today’s conglomerates, since fifteen years ago it didn’t even exist. However, today the Wellness Industry enjoys annual revenue exceeding $200 billion and is expected to reach the trillion dollar mark by 2015. It does not take a scientist to realize this is outstanding growth! Just go down to your local strip mall or commercial district and see what you run into. You will find Vitamin stores, fitness centres, Wellness & Spa ,natural food markets, and so many more wellness related businesses seem to be emerging at incredible rates! A massive wave is forming.

6. Why such a surge of growth? It all comes down to a giant contemporary demand for advancements in pro-active health. There are many reasons why the wellness industry is, and will continue to expand. For instance, did you know that today:

7. Some Statistics By Vedantaa • 30 million Indians have low bone density, and 70% of the estimated 21 million who have Osteoporosis are undiagnosed (National Osteoporosis Foundation); • 65% of the population is overweight, and 25% of those people are clinically obese Across World. (U.S. Centres for Disease Control); • 500,000 deaths per year are associated with being overweight and obese. (Indian Surgeon General); • 90 million Across World have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease, the majority of which are undiagnosed (American Heart Association).

8. The Challenge The wellness industry will start going head to head against one of the world’s largest industries known as the Health Care Industry.
