State Farm Health Insurance is giving America a highly needed challenge. They are challenging Americans to collectively lose 50 million pounds across the nation, according to the article “Insurance agency challenges Americans to lose weight” on wqow.com.
Bob Johnson, an agent at State Farm Insurance, says that the healthier you are the less frequently you visit the doctor which will help lower your health insurance rates over time. There is also the benefit of living a longer, higher quality life the healthier you live. A healthy lifestyle will help you lose weight, have more energy and just feel better overall.
Online registration is available and participants can track their progress throughout the challenge. There is also information on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. State Farm Health Insurance is offering a kit which includes a pedometer and an information booklet. Hopefully America is up for the challenge because obesity continues to be on the rise.
