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!
Random Acts of
Kindness
Have you ever given or
received a random act of
kindness? How did that
make you feel? Touchmark
is hoping to create
opportunities to do random
acts of kindness within the
community. Join us for the
next activity Monday, Sep. 9
at 3:30 pm. Reach out and
touch, inspire, and share
someone else’s life.
The power of music
Music can lift moods, heal,
and free the mind of clutter.
Join the very popular Drum
Circles, which are the perfect
opportunity to experience
music in a deeper way. Even
those who have never played
a musical instrument before
have discovered a connection
and been inspired to dance
to a tune that brought back
memories or have created
their own melody by singing
to the beat. Come give it a try
and free your spirit to dance
to the beat of a different
drum.
Lift up your spirits
with these events
