Do For Others members are dedicated to improving our community's overall physical, mental, and spiritual health.
While we live in an age of technological advancements and relative economic prosperity, the reality for millions of Americans is this: our quality of life, over time, has diminished, and life expectancy has been reduced. For many Americans, these outcomes are due to (in too many cases) an unhealthy lifestyle. Yes, the vast number of illnesses and diseases that millions are suffering from are due to unhealthy behaviors and habits. Millions of Americans die each year from health-related causes. The sad news is that intervention could have led to a different outcome for many. Also, millions of people live with disabilities due to the same factors - lifestyle disease.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), six out of every ten adults in the U.S. live with a chronic disease, and four out of every ten have two or more concomitant chronic conditions. In 2010, chronic diseases comprised seven of the top ten causes of mortality in the U.S., accounting for over 65% of all deaths. (CDC)
