Why Do We Do It?

Studies show that people who participate in structured, professionally guided wellness programs in conjunction with social support achieve better results than those who "go it alone".

We are social beings. Like attracts like. We tend to surround ourselves with those who are "just like us". Obesity runs in families. So do heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. Yes, there are likely genetic factors at play - but lifestyle choices can "make or break" someone who is predisposed to these conditions. That is, someone who is genetically predisposed to heart disease is less likely to suffer the ill effects if they exercise, reduce stress, and "eat right".

Unfortunately, research also shows that we tend to engage in the same behaviors as those we surround ourselves with. If most people you know are out of shape, inactive, overweight, and/or unhealthy - chances are you aren't much different.

Studies also show that you can change that!
