2024年12月28日，吉隆坡 – 前首相敦马哈迪今早在马来西亚首个聚焦大健康的国际贸易展「国际大健康博览会」（IWE 2024）上与观众们分享了他的个人养生之道时，更表示，只有多阅读、多动脑筋、多与人聊天辩论，才能保持脑袋灵活健康。
敦马刚于 7 月份过完 99 岁生日，可说是分享「养生之道」的最佳人选。他在简短的 15 分钟分享会里深入探讨了如何通过健康生活方式来提升我们的事业与生活。他觉得健康是成功生活的基石，只有健康的体魄才能实现个人的梦想。所以要有健康及长寿的人生，必须要饮食适度，不过量饮食，并远离不良嗜好。「食物不不仅是能量来源，更是保持健康的根本，所以选择食物很重要。」
有记者询问如何保持思路清晰敏锐时，他强调，一定要定期阅读与写作，「多阅读、多动脑筋写作，多与人聊天辩论，只有这样才能保持思维活跃，延缓衰老。」
他也明白很多现代人往往都会忽视健康管理的纪律，才会导致许多健康问题的出现。所以我们不能再用老一派的健康养生和医疗模式，而是应该推动健康创新与现代医疗结合，开拓更全面的健康方案。因此，他鼓励大家应该更深入了解健康的重要性，并表示此次健康博览会应成为一个平台，不仅为马来西亚，也为世界各地提供探索健康生活的契机。
马来西亚拥有丰富的资源，所以他也建议大家应该大力发展健康旅游，吸引国际关注。除了分享会，敦马哈迪也与记者们近距离分享和探讨了他的健康之道。最后，更特意逛了 IWE 2024 一圈，以了解本地的最新健康品牌。
由 Green Wellness 有限公司主办，并获得马来西亚会展局（MyCEB）和马来西亚对外贸易发展机构（MATRADE）大力支持的「国际大健康博览会」（IWE 2024）是马来西亚首个聚焦大健康的国际贸易展，从27 日起至 29 日连续三天，将在马来西亚国际贸易展览中心（MITEC）隆重举行。
