MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM)
A study out of Florida Atlantic University found that we are getting way to lazy for our own good. A lack of physical activity is responsible for 22 percent of heart disease, 22 percent of colon cancer, 18 percent of fractures due to osteoperosis, 12 percent of diabetes and high blood pressure, and even 5 percent of breast cancer, yet 36% of adults aren’t moving enough. So get up and go for a brisk walk every morning or evening – don’t be a statistic!
