Your greatest health risk is chronic inflammatory-related diseases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In fact, they say it is the most significant health risk to all humanity worldwide!

Here is the good yet tragic news! Chronic disease is largely preventable, but most just accept this very harmful robber of health and eventually wealth.

An article published by World Health Organization states, “Although more basic research may be needed on some aspects of the mechanisms that link diet to health, the currently available scientific evidence provides a sufficiently strong and plausible basis to justify taking action now. Beyond the appropriate medical treatment for those already affected, the public health approach of primary prevention is considered to be the most cost-effective, affordable and sustainable course of action to cope with the chronic disease epidemic worldwide.”

I encourage you to not accept these modifiable diseases as age-related issues that you have no course of action against. You do!

You can make the choices to support your body systems and organs that promote wellness. Your body is designed to keep you well. We have bought into the idea of medication and disease management as the way to greater wellness. Yes, thankfully, we have modern medicine.

But we also have modern processed foods, sedentary lifestyles perpetuated by devices like television, computers, cell phones, etc., that engage us as we sit and further encouraging chronic inflammation from the lack of physical activity.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, the former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), says the closest thing to a wonder drug is walking! He is quoted in Harvard Medical School material as stating, “Walking can have a bigger impact on disease risk and various health conditions than just about any other remedy that is available to you.”

Get Up and Keep Moving Even If It Is Just Walking!
