Luuk Simons tells us we can save 40 percent on our healthcare costs. The trend of people becoming obese is enormous worldwide. It increases the risk of getting ill with for instance heart disease, some types of cancers and diabetes. We are not aging normally at the moment. Bringing down cholesterol levels with 25 percent would get rid of 90 percent of our cardiovascular disease, for instance. 75 – 80 percent of our life span is determined by our lifestyle. You cannot outsource your own health, so every individual has to take responsibility: personal health management.
Our kids will not live as long as we will, Maybe 10 years less, because of how we are teaching them what a good lifestyle is. Or actually, how we really are teaching them unhealthy lifestyles. Source: http://www.tedxmaastricht.nl/2011/04/tedxmaastricht-talk-luuk-simons/
