"Americans are overwhelmed with the complexity of health information. We have hit a point of information overload and the public health message is being diluted." - Previous Surgeon General, Dr. Richard Carmona
What matters most when it comes to health and well-being is adherence to the basics. In the summer of 2002, the U.S. government launched HealthierUS. This effort made it very clear what every American needs to do to enjoy a happy and healthy life.
Unfortunately for millions of Americans, many will eventually experience the unnecessary pain, suffering, disability, financial burdens and possible premature death associated with decades of poor health and lifestyle choices. The main purpose of Healthier WY is to engage, educate and empower members. By doing so many will realize and enjoy the life benefits of wellness.
A healthy lifestyle will postpone chronic disabilities 10 to 20 years. Morbidity, which is the time spent in pain and suffering before death, is also compressed by 75% through adherence to a healthy lifestyle. How are you going to enjoy your remaining years? Wellness is worth your best effort today!
