Obesity biggest contributor to skyrocketing health care costs


If you are of normal weight you are in the minority! Two thirds of adults in the US are overweight or obese, and our health care costs have grown in proportion to our waistlines, hips and thighs. So,when some one says to me “Gosh, you look great”, my response is “Thank you, I work at it, and you can look like this too.” Then I ask “What can you do to build more physical activity into your daily lifestyle?” It’s about making progressive small changes, identifying and participating in the activities you enjoy, making these activities a priority, and taking responsibility for getting out there and doing it.

So, be part of the solution, pass this message on and encourage everyone to take responsibility for their health and become more physically active!
