Health Span vs. Life Span To enjoy a long health span instead of just a long life span, make therapeutic lifestyle choices!

Obesity and Overweight • Obesity is the #1 nutrition-related disorder • Over 60% are overweight or obese • Obesity among children and adolescents is epidemic • Obesity is now thought to be a dominant public health problem – perhaps surpassing smoking.

Diet Diary / Exercise Log Keep daily track of: • Everything you eat • Everything you drink • Your activity and exercise • Tracking your eating and exercise can be a positive reinforcement when you’re developing new lifestyle habits. People who self-monitor both eating and exercise behaviors, are more successful at reaching and maintaining their ideal weight. Med Sci Sports Exerc 2001: 2145-56
