"Health is Your Biggest Wealth!" Economic Club of Chicago Dinner Meeting

“Health is Your Biggest Wealth!” – is my key takeaway from the first Economic Club of Chicago Dinner Meeting of the 2019-2020 Program Year with our guest speaker David M. Cordani, President & CEO of Cigna Corporation.  

In an eye opening discussion David shared with us the state of health in American with sad and shocking facts like:

• 6 in 10 American adults have a chronic health condition.

• 21% of American children are obese, and another 20% are pre-obese - the highest in the world.

• Only 53% of Americans report have a meaningful in-person social interaction on a daily basis.

So where do we go from here? It is estimated that the integration of behavioral and physical health would save $32 - $58 billion. I am a big believer in taking personal responsibility for my health and focusing on preventing health issues.

So what can you do to ensure a fit, athletic, healthy and mindful future? Do one extra step every day towards your health, wellness and balance. Perhaps add 5 extra minutes of stretching, or one extra mile of walking, or have one less soda drink, and always remember – Health is Your Biggest Wealth!
