Why iWellcare: Challenges that Require an Immediate Solution

We live in a time with resources unimaginable 100 years ago. Cars and airplanes take us around the world, and machines and computers perform our labor. Processed foods have replaced fresh, whole foods. Video games and T.V. have become the primary play for our children.

Conveniences of modern society have taken a toll on our health. Moving less, our bodies pay a price. Fast foods filled with refined carbohydrates, fat, and chemical additives increase our risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.

Consider the following challenges created by our modern lifestyle:

• Most Americans are overweight and get no exercise at all- 60% of us don’t exercise, 65% are overweight and 33% are clinically obese
• The obesity rate in the U.S. has grown 7-10% in the last five years. At the current rate of growth, by the year 2015, 75% of all Americans will be overweight and 41% will be obese.
• The number of obese children and teenagers is growing. In the United States over 30% of kids under age 18 are considered overweight or obese. Over the past thirty years, the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled for children aged 2-5 years and adolescents aged 12-19 years. For children aged 6-11 years the obesity rate has more than tripled.
• The U.S. Center for Disease Control reported in 2006 that children being born today are the first generation in decades that will have a shorter lifespan than their parents. Your son or daughter could die at a younger age than you or perhaps even before you.
• Healthcare costs in the U.S. for 2007 totaled $2.3 TRILLION and is expected to reach $4.2 TRILLION or 20% of the U.S. GDP by 2016.

There’s always a choice. We take responsibility for health by obtaining proper education and then applying our knowledge!

Of all the diseases we face in this country, 70% of them are linked to factors we can control by increasing activity, eating healthy and more effectively managing stress. With 75% of all health care costs paying for chronic illnesses like obesity, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease, we all share the cost.

It is essential that we begin to take action to solve these health challenges to ensure our personal health and the wellbeing of our children.

To instill healthy habit change iWellcare provides a positive climate in which relationships are developed with caring health professionals. Empowerment tools focusing on good nutrition, customized exercise and balanced emotional wellbeing strengthen mind and body.

Proper education in a nurturing environment facilitates positive behavior change and results in a deepening sense of responsibility for personal health. Through repetition of skills in an environment of support, productive thought patterns are developed that enable life-long success.
