Childhood obesity. Divorce. Cancer. Heart disease. Financial woes. The stats of doom surround us, yet we continue in lifestyles that lead to unhappiness and early death. Yet, life doesn’t have to be that way. LifeNuts is a community-based vitality program designed to save city budget dollars (lower health costs and reduced absenteeism) as well as to reverse the American trend of unhealthiness, disease, and a lifespan that decreases annually. Run by volunteers, LifeNuts helps individuals to lose weight, become fit both physically and financially, and manage stress effectively. This book helps individuals to become full-fledged LifeNuts and explains how to implement the program into the community.
