Why It Matters
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rural residents are more likely than urban residents to die prematurely from all of the five leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury, chronic lower respiratory disease, and stroke. Let's improve the health of rural America through:
- Make blood pressure control a goal
- Cancer prevention and early intervention
- Healthy eating & physical activity (to reduce obesity)
- Smoking cessation
BUT DO LIFESTYLE CHANGES REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Research shows it's not all or nothing. Any improvement has benefits over being stuck in really unhealthful habits.
