Eat less. Eat better.
Move more.
“Unhealthy diets and a lack of
physical activity in the US cause
more health loss than smoking,
alcohol, or drug use.”
– Ali Mokdad, PhD, director of
Middle Eastern Initiatives and
professor of Global Health at
the Institute for Health Metrics
and Evaluation (IHME)
The United States has
made significant health
improvements over the last two
decades, including:
• Lower disease burden
rates since 1990 of nearly all
childhood conditions and
diseases
• Lower mortality rates for
people at every age since 1990
• Significant reduction in death
and disability from HIV/AIDS
But Canada and other countries
in Europe and Asia are
improving at a faster rate.
Why is the US less healthy
than other countries?
The researchers point to
poor dietary practices and
inadequate physical activity
as two of the driving forces. In
fact, dietary risks moved ahead
of smoking as the leading cause
of disability and death in the
study released recently in the
American Journal of Medicine.
Christopher Murray, MD,
DPhil, is a professor of Global
Health at the University of
Washington and director of
the IHME. He presented the
findings of the study at an
event hosted by First Lady
Michelle Obama as part of her
Let’s Move! campaign.
Bad choices and risky behaviors
fall in the category of “lifestyle-
related risk factors”. Genetics
are important but not as
important as lifestyle practices.
Touchmark recognizes the
importance of providing
healthy lifestyle options in its
11 communities in the US and
Canada.
To find out more about the
Full Life Wellness & Life
Enrichment offerings at
Touchmark, contact any
member of the Full Life team.
And ask about Touchmark’s
celebration of Active Aging
Week, coming up in September.
It’s never too late to gain the
benefits of eating better and
moving more!
