The Health Crisis – Challenge & Statistics

We're always told the most precious thing we have is our health. And if you or a loved one has suffered a health crisis, you have probably realized the truth in this statement.

The following statistics paint a dismal health picture for a majority of adult Americans.

  • A shocking two out of every three adults in the U.S. (age 20 and older) are overweight or obese.
  • 15% of children and adolescents are overweight and more than 30% are considered obese.
  • According to a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, an estimated 400,000 deaths each year may be the result of inactivity and poor diet.

And with childhood obesity rising sharply, it is projected that our children's generation will be the first generation since the depression to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. Isn't it time we changed these statistics.

An Opportunity

Although we live in a chaotic world short on time and long on stress, we have never had a better opportunity to make a difference in our own lives as well as the lives of others. The internet has revolutionized the way a "grass-roots" movement can spread - not just to our families and friends but across the country and around the world. And the time is now.
