Herbalife and NHCOA Partner to Spread Healthy Habits and Nutrition among Older Adults in Washington, DC

The global nutrition company will provide meal replacement products and
support senior housing facility Casa Iris’ nutritional program

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As part of Herbalife’s (NYSE:HLF) commitment to nutrition at all stages
of life, the company announced a new partnership with the National
Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA), the nation’s premier organization
working with Hispanic older adults, their families and caregivers.
Through this partnership, Herbalife will provide NHCOA with shakes, meal
replacement bars, and protein bars worth $10,000 to offer to the
residents of the organization’s senior housing facility, Casa Iris. The
initiative in the Washington, DC area will last from April to December
2016. In addition, NHCOA will receive $15,000 to help fund Casa Iris’
Nutrition Program, which provides more than 75 facility residents and
community members with access to nutritional education, awareness, meal
services, and activities.

“Currently more than a quarter of seniors in the United States are
hungry or at a nutritional risk,” said Dr. Yanira Cruz, NHCOA President
and CEO. “Given the increased risk for chronic health conditions arising
from hunger and malnourishment, NHCOA is excited to partner with
Herbalife to ensure that the residents of Casa Iris have access to
nutritious food and programming so they can age with dignity and in the
best possible health.”

The partnership was announced during the launch of NHCOA’s Move,
Exercise and Nourish: A Wellness Program at Casa Iris on April 14, 2016.
Angela Arboleda, Vice President of Government and Community Affairs,
presented the first installment of product donations and spoke to the
Casa Iris residents about nutrition. Attendees also sampled Herbalife
shakes.

“Herbalife is deeply committed to turning the tide on poor nutrition in
every age group,” said Angela Arboleda, Herbalife’s vice president for
government and community affairs. “Through partnerships like these, we
can bring Herbalife nutrition to people like the residents of Casa Iris
who might not have access to nutritious foods, and raise awareness
regarding the importance of maintaining healthy, active lifestyles.”
