Well-documented clinical studies exist, however, that unequivocally address the positive impact that exercise has on health-care costs. Health Wealth: Spending Health Dollars Wisely presents a detailed review of the issues involved and explains why it is everyone.s responsibility to convey the message of the value-added consequences of engaging in physical activity on a regular basis to the policy makers. Among the topics covered: disease costs, health saves, exercise-deficiency diseases cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and policy makers need better fiscal information.
