I started a series of thought provoking health points back in January and this is the 6th of 10. Please click on the blue link below to view the original manifesto.
Inaction Is not an Option.
"The time for passivity is past. Today, nearly every U.S. household is touched by obesity or chronic disease. And most often, when one family member's health is compromised, the whole family suffers.
It's time for that suffering to stop. But simply suppressing symptoms and "managing" diseases is not the answer.
As you read this, approximately 75 percent of our healthcare dollars are being spent ineffectively on chronic conditions, many of which can only be resolved through lifestyle change.
These burdens of chronic illness are simultaneously gutting our economy, our communities, and our whole population's ability to thrive. They're undermining the lives of our children, and the potential of future generations.
It's time to face the reality that unless we're part of the solution, we're part of problem. And the problem is plenty big already.
None of us can afford to sit this challenge out. None of us deserves to live less than the best, healthiest life at our disposal.
So raise your sights. Raise your standards. Restake your claim to a vital body and mind. And never, ever back down. "
