Abstract

The integration of physical activity (PA) and wellness information into daily living practices is essential for fostering health-promoting behaviours that support individual welfare and happiness. These habits are particularly effective in the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across various age groups. This study explores the impact of wellness information and physical activity on health promotion, emphasizing the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to advance understanding and adoption of these health practices. Additionally, it highlights how ICT tools contribute to promoting a health-conscious lifestyle, supporting both physical and emotional wellness at the individual and community levels. Findings underscore that ICT applications can play a significant role in enhancing wellness information dissemination, encouraging health-promoting behaviours, and reducing the prevalence of NCDs. Ultimately, the study advocates for broader use of ICT in facilitating wellness information and physical activity as part of a holistic approach to public health.
