U.S. Health Care generated $2.8 trillion in costs last year.
.

By itself, the American Health Care Expenditure Level is larger than the total
economies of all but five countries -- including the United States:
Only China, Japan, India, and Germany have total economies larger than
U.S. health care all by itself.

Non-communicable diseases, including
diabetes, account for 60% of all deaths worldwide.

-- In 1985 there were an estimated 30 million diabetics.
-- Today diabetes affects more than 285 million people (almost 6% of the world's adult population).
-- Each year another 6 million people develop diabetes.
-- By 2030, there will be approximately 438 million diabetics (7.8% of the adult population).

Chronic Conditions are Diseases of Urbanization.

Old World
Old World-- walking, local foods
(fish, fowl and lean meats).
Constant physical activity.
13
New World
New World-- massive slums and poor neighborhoods, motorized transportation, unsafe walking, mass market foods (white wheat, white rice, white sugar, and fat rich mass produced meat products).
Constant inactivity
14
Diabetes, like heart diseaseand stroke, are all diseases of urbanization.
15
Is there anything we can do to slow, mitigate, prevent, and alleviate the burden and impact of chronic, non
communicable diseases?
16
Yes.
Two things.
Healthy Eating and Active Living
(HEAL).
17
Health Care in the United States
-- Most chronic conditions can be
prevented, delayed, and even
treated by regular exercise and
physical activity.
18
Health Care in the United States
-- The most accessible and achievable physical
activity is walking.
-- We don’t need to run, lift weights or swim.
Those are all good things to do -- but we get
huge benefits just by walking -- and walking is,
by far, the easiest physical activity for most
people to do.
19
Health Care in the United States
-- We need to start a national
agenda to take advantage of the
health benefits of walking.

22
The Global Obesity Forecast
23
According to the World Health Organization,
there are 1.6 billion overweight adults in the
world.
24
-- That number is projected to grow by 40% over the next 10 years.
-- Healthy eating needs to be part of our total agenda for health -- creating access to the right foods and avoiding the wrong foods.
25
Active living is the highest potential chronic condition
mitigation pathway-- and the best mechanism for achieving active living in large scale is to
get people to walk.
26
Walking is our best hopeand our best strategy for improving health.
27
Benefits of Walking Daily -- Huge Value
-- Prevents and manages diabetes
-- Prevents heart disease and strokes
-- Prevents and treats depression and anxiety
-- Helps manage asthma
-- Lowers the rate of some cancers
A Moderate Amount Of Walking Has A Huge Impact
28
Walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week can cut new
cases of diabetes in half. (Losing ten pounds as well can cut the rate of new diabetics by nearly two thirds.)
29
We don’t need to walk a lot -- 30 minutes a day makes
the body work better.
30
The human body is made to walk.
Our bodies function better when we walk.
31
The body resists diseases better when we walk, and the body heals faster when we
walk.
32
-- Walking generates positive neurochemicals.
-- Walking strengthens the heart.
-- Walking strengthens bones.
-- Walking improves the circulatory system.
33
Walking 30 minutes a day:
-- Reduces hypertension-- Cuts rate of diabetes by more than half -- Cuts risk of stroke by almost half-- Cuts risk of people over 60 becoming diabetic
by almost 70%-- Cuts risk of heart disease by more than 40%-- Cuts risk of cancers
34
Men who walk thirty minutes a day have a significantly lower level of
prostate cancer.
Men who do not walk regularly have a 60% higher risk of colon cancer.
35
For men with prostate cancer, studies have shown that walkers have a 46% lower mortality rate.
36
Walking improves our biological health, our physiological health, our psychological
health, and walking helps with our emotional health.
37
Walking reduces the risk of both cognitive
impairment and dementia.
38
Walking also helps prevent depression, and people who walk
regularly are more likely to see improvements in their depression.
Walking to Treat Depression
39
In one study, women who were depressed who walked and took medication scored twice as well on the depression level evaluation in 30 days as the women who only took the medication.
Another study showed that depressed people who walked regularly had a significantly higher level of not being depressed in a year compared to depressed people who did not walk.
Walking to Treat Depression
40
Walking to Treat Depression
• University of Wisconsin study: Exercise appears to be as effective as psychotherapy at relieving moderate depression.
• After a year, over 90% of those people who were assigned to the exercise program were no longer depressed.
41
Walking to Treat Depression
• Ohio State University study: Depressed stay-at-home-moms.
• One group walked 45 minutes a day, five days a week – the other did
not walk.
• Walking group's depression index scores improved from 14.81,
indicating mild depression, to 3.27, indicating minimal depression.
• Results indicate that an exercise program may be an alternative to
medication for treating mild to moderate depression in women who
stay at home.
42
Walking speeds up metabolismand burns calories.
Walkers often find that eating habits change and weight loss results from
those eating changes.
43
Fit Beats Fat
44
Walking half an hour a day has health benefits that can exceed the benefits of losing
twenty pounds.
45
A single 30-minute walk can reduce blood pressure
by 5 points for over 20 hours.
46
Walking improves the health of our blood.
Walking is a good booster for high density cholesterol -- and people with
high levels of HDL are less likely to have heart attacks and stroke.
47
Walking reduces the risk of blood clots in our legs.
People who walk regularly have much lower risk of deep vein thrombosis.
48
People who walk are less likely to catch colds, and when
people do get colds, walkers have a 46% shorter symptom
time from their colds.
49
The need for gallstone surgery is 20% to 31%
lower for walkers.
50
Women who walk have a 20% lower likelihood of getting
breast cancer and a 31% lower risk of getting colon cancer.
51
Women with breast cancer who walk regularly can reduce their
recurrence rate and their mortality rate for breast cancer
by over 50%.

Walking can literally add years -- entire years -- to your life.
54
The Reason For Walking
-- There are very few things that we can do that have a more positive impact on our health and our lives than walking.
55
Thirty minutes a day is enough to have a huge impact on our
health.
56
The best news …
The thirty minutes doesn’t have
to be done in one lump of time.
57
Two 15 minute walks achieve the same goals.
58
It’s often a lot easier to find 15 minutes than it is to find a
full half hour -- and 15 minutes is enough when
we do it twice a day.
59
Three 10 minute walks achieve most of those goals.
60
Getting Patients to Walk
-- KP physicians literally prescribe
walking as front line medicine.
-- Walking brings remarkable results to
patients.

Make the Right ThingEasy to Do
63
We need a national agenda to create a
culture of health and a culture where people
walk.
64
We need to encourage walking, support walking, empower walking,
enable walking and celebrate walking
65
We need walking in our schools, our communities, our work places, and our
family settings.
66
Our goal to start a national conversation about the remarkable
health benefits of walking and create a culture of health.
