Health

Michigan has one of the highest obesity rates in the nation; 31 percent of adults and 17 percent of youth are obese. Obesity is about more than "just being overweight." Obesity directly impacts a person's overall health and is the root cause of many chronic illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It also takes a toll financially.

The good news is we can do something about it, each one of us. Start today. Create your personal health plan.
