SMALL STEPS CAN LEAD TO BIG HEALTH BENEFITS--ACCORDING TO THE NEW
AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION "HEALTHIER LIFE STEPS"
CAMPAIGN. AS FAMILIES STRETCH TO MAKE ENDS MEET IN A TOUGH
ECONOMY, THE HEALTHY STEPS PROVIDED IN THE A-M-A CAMPAIGN CAN GET PEOPLE
STARTED ON THE ROAD TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE--AT LITTLE OR NO COST.
A-M-A PRESIDENT-ELECT, DOCTOR JAMES ROHACK, HAS MORE...
(ROHACK):
"PHYSICIANS DEVOTE THEIR LIVES TO HELPING PEOPLE GET WELL.
BUT NOW, WE'RE MORE FOCUSED THAN EVER ON PREVENTING THEM FROM GETTING
SICK IN THE FIRST PLACE--BY ENCOURAGING A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE.
EATING HEALTHY, EXERCISING, AND ELIMINATING UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS, LIKE
SMOKING AND EXCESSIVE OR RISKY DRINKING, CAN SEEM LIKE DAUNTING
TASKS--IF YOU TRY TO TACKLE EVERYTHING AT ONCE. INCORPORATING
SMALL CHANGES INTO EVERYDAY LIFE--LIKE EATING A HUNDRED CALORIES LESS,
PER DAY, AND GETTING 30 MINUTES OF MODERATE EXERCISE--CAN MAKE THE
PROCESS OF GETTING HEALTHIER MORE MANAGEABLE. GETTING HEALTHY
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE: TAKE A FAMILY WALK, AROUND THE
NEIGHBORHOOD--AND COOK A NUTRITIOUS DINNER, AT HOME."

FREE RESOURCES AND TOOLS FOR THE "HEALTHIER LIFE STEPS" PROGRAM ARE
AVAILABLE ON THE A-M-A'S WEBSITE--AT
