Getting Healthy is Priceless

Here’s some interesting news. “Diabetic persons spend an average of $11,000 more than persons without diabetes. Preventative programs with a fitness protocol could save the U.S. $20 million on diabetic patients alone.”

Well, that’s true. Much of our costs are in trying to be healthy and maintaining an ideal weight. However, much of the cost diabetics incur is due to things like test strips (so incredibly expensive it’s ridiculous), needles, and of course, insulin. So I’m not sure how much more we’d “save” by losing weight in terms of money.

But, it’s definitely worth it to lose weight and get healthy for EVERY OTHER REASON! Feeling good, avoiding complications, living a good life. And those are things you can’t put a price on!
