HEALTH: Half of U.S. adults will be obese by 2030.

I'm working on figuring out Twitter and in my random tweets searching I came across this article which I found overwhelming and yet, sadly, not surprised by.

The take away that I have for every one is this: it's not about drastic changes. It's in the little things.


"Losing just a little weight could offset those increases. The report noted that a 1 percent population-wide decrease in body-mass index (just 1.9 pounds for an average 198-pound adult) would prevent more than 2 million cases of diabetes, roughly 1.5 million cases of heart disease and stroke, and 73,000 to 127,000 cancer cases in the United States."


Did you know that gaining 10 pounds over the course of a decade (exactly where I'm at right now) comes down to 1 calorie a day - JUST 1!  We are such a now focused society that we forget to really think about the long term consequences of our actions. Diets don't work because they only focus on now.


So here's my challenge - what is 1 small change that you can make now to help your health?


Mine is to get up and get active for at least 30 minutes a day. Some days it may be a walk - other days I could be training for this half. But every day, I promise myself to take that time and be active.


What's your 1 thing?
