What do we have change? • In 2010, it was estimated that the United States spent over $93 billion on high blood pressure • What if we spent it on prevention?
What will we change? • We would take the money spent on high blood pressure and use it on things to cure it such as: • Sidewalks • Treadmills in offices • Bike paths • Advertisements
How will this help? • It will help encourage physical activity • It will help to improve work in offices • It will improve work in school • It will help improve cardiovascular health!
