In the global health rating of 133 countries,
The United States is ranked 28th,
Although we spend on health care and medical costs per capita
More than any other country in the world.
We spend more than $ 60 million a year
In the food industry.
Yet one in every five of our school children is obese
Type II diabetes has reached epidemic proportions.
I grew up on the unhealthy US basic diet (SAD)
(Laughter)
My family is struggling with obesity, addiction, and even suicide.
I would like to see this change.
Not only in my family, but throughout America.
Imagine, one generation from now, in 2040,
The United States will be ranked first as a healthier country
In the whole world.
We will reach old age and we live a better life,
Because of the low incidence of preventable diseases.
Such as heart disease, some cancers, and arthritis.
The healthier societies will reduce the sense of isolation.
Causing a decrease in mental illness and crime rates.
Many doctors will practice disease prevention more broadly;
Companies that give priority to the health of our people and our planet
Will flourish;
Then we will have greater social and economic equality.
Would not this be the reason for huge celebrations?
But by 2017,
What prevents us from reaching the first order of health?
We are equipped with enormous capacity equipment in our toolbox,
But can be developed.
I’m not talking about rigs or saws but about cultural tools.
I would like to focus on one tool today is the time.
America’s relationship with time is not like other countries.
We consider time as precious,
Many of us complain that there is not enough time.
This way of thinking
Is often the main cause of stress and anxiety.
I think that that special relationship with time has made the United States of America
Create a culture of comfort instead of a culture of health.
It is easy to choose prepared processed foods instead of home-cooked meals
And spend time in front of television screens and more
Rather than getting out of the house or improving social relationships
As part of efforts to achieve further work,
These choices, if repeated consistently,
To make people physically and psychologically ill
Leading in the end to waste more time.
Infection is an undesirable condition.
Think carefully: if you modify your relationship with time
With a little time to live in the present with yourself, and who you love,
Nourish your mind and body,
May actually lift your production capacity.
We will not solve all those problems
In a seven-minute conversation,
But here I put some basic elements
I found a solution, if you want,
You can apply it to become in the best health condition.
In so doing,
Will bring us closer to that great goal, full of vitality and bold ambition.
To become the most healthy countries.
It is a three-part solution.
First, we must develop our way of thinking rather than hard thinking,
Which deepens our love for science and steadfastness.
It helps us succeed.
Secondly, we must define our goal.
The personal reason for our being living on this planet.
The Scottish scholar of theology (William Barclay)
“There are two great days in one’s life,
The day we are born, and the day we realize the reason for our birth. “
Thirdly, we must talk about our goal of creating a kind of communication and accountability.
This action motivates us substantially
To take care of ourselves and our society better.
It will help us decide how to spend our time better.
We live in a wonderful place in history.
Where many residents of America are fed up.
Popular movements have been growing for decades
Calling for a more physical, psychological and economic life.
Just as our political climate continues to go hand in hand with our planet Earth
We, the people, are forced to unite, and have reached a turning point.
We may not all agree
On how to reach the first order of health.
But we need to join hands only.
If you do not believe this goal is possible,
Look at the radical changes we have already achieved
Such as wearing a seat belt while driving, and smoking cigarettes in public places.
we can do this!
I started a movement on social media.
It is a place where we can share our goals.
What does it mean to be healthy for each of us?
Easy to join the movement “Resolution 2040.”
You will find here a worksheet
Will help you determine your personal goal.
All I ask in return is to share your goal
Across the social networking platform of your choice
Or send it to my e-mail,
And I will publish it for you.
My personal profile will not be physical,
It is simply that our country reaches that goal.
Set your goal and ambition to live this life.
To make you like to get up from your bed every morning
And share your world.
When we live a meaningful life,
We will re-evaluate our culture from a culture of comfort to a culture of health.
Perhaps the basic elements we have developed today are radically deep and radiant
To become the United States the world’s healthiest country by 2040.
(clap).
