The Top 4 Health-Care Investments
Here's how the Alder Companies are going to invest in you!
#1: Physical Activity - At least 30 minutes of brisk exercise every day, like fast walking, cycling or swimming, will help you stay at the proper weight and lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer.
Company Proposal: From July 1st to December 1st is 153 days. Between now and December 1st, exercise for 30 minutes for 100 of those days. Keep a journal or log and turn it in… We’ll give you $1 per day up to the 100 mark – That’s $100 before Christmas!
#2: Eating Right - Another way to talk about eating right is to talk about fighting obesity! A diet centered around fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and lowfat dairy products will keep you slim , can lower cholesterol and help control blood pressure and blood sugar. Fruits and vegetables also contain cancer-fighting compounds.
Company Proposal: Start by weighing in somewhere “official”…. A doctor’s office, weight watcher meeting, etc. Have your starting weight documented. Then, eat right, exercise more and do it all in a way that makes sense (no fad diets or fasting, please!) We’ll pay you $2/pound lost… The first dollar /pound comes right away, the second dollar/pound comes after the weight has stayed off for 6 months ! HEY! Double your fun… and your funds… this is available to spouses as well!
#3: Be Tobacco Free - QUIT, if you’re a smoker. Stay away from secondhand smoke and avoid all tobacco products. Smoking is the #1 cause of preventable death and increases the risk for all types of cancer.
Company Proposal: QUIT NOW and we’ll give you $1000!!! The first $500 comes when you’ve quit for 6 months and the other $500 comes when you’ve quit for one year. Start today!! Get your spouse to quit and we’ll add $500 more!
#4: Get all health screenings recommended for your age and sex - There are simple blood tests that can be done to help in the prevention of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Knowing your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol and other important “numbers” could save your life!
Company Proposal: We’ll be setting up FREE health screenings (for you and your spouse) in the next couple months. We’re hoping to pick the best time/day/place as soon as possible and would like your input…
All of the results are confidential, but we believe everyone will do better if they know their “numbers”. After the initial screening, each time you go in for a DOT physical, they will ask if you’d like these tests repeated so that you can keep an eye on these important factors.
