How to Create Wellness Habits That Can Save Your Life

Why should we create wellness habits?

We can’t afford not to…


“over 95% of our nation’s health expenditures, including most of the billions of dollars employers spend on health coverage, is committed to

diagnosing and treating disease only after it becomes manifest.”

— The Partnership for Prevention

“Researchers have estimated that preventable illness makes up

approximately 70% of the burden of illness and the

associated costs.”— The New England Journal of Medicine

Of the approximate 2.5 million people who die in the U.S. each year, 7 out of 10 Americans…

more than 1.7 million people… die of a chronic

disease such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

In fact…In fact…

In 2000, the leading causes of preventable death

in the U.S. are related to:– Tobacco (435,000 deaths; 18.1%)– Poor diet and physical inactivity

(400,000; 16.6%)– Alcohol (85,000 3.5%)

— CDC Report: JAMA, 2004

The Big PictureThe Big Picture

More than 70% of all deaths in America…

More than 70% of our health care economy is spent on treating preventable lifestyle

related chronic diseases.

How can we take steps to reverse these trends?

Choose better health through better living.
