EVERYONE KNOWS THE NUMBERS…  BUT DID YOU KNOW THIS?

• Chronic diseases and conditions related to obesity account for 7 out of 10 deaths, and more than 60% of medical care expenditures.
• Over 500,000 thousand ACTUAL DEATHS are caused each year in Canada and the U.S. by physical inactivity and poor diet, because they directly lead to obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is second only to the preventable deaths related to tobacco use.
• Over 50 million people in Canada and the U.S. have HHS (pre-diabetes) and don’t even know it. They WILL go on to develop Type II Diabetes within 10 years, but only discover it after experiencing visual loss, foot lesions and/or gout, and other serious sicknesses.
• Chances are that one of these statistics is YOU, or even worse, YOUR CHILD!

Obesity is everyone’s problem!
