New Habit Heroes™ experience aims to teach families about healthy choices!
We collaborated with Disney to bring you Habit Heroes™. Everyone has the potential to be a habit hero. That's why we're co-sponsoring Habit Heroes™ in INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® at Walt Disney World® Resort. The Habit Heroes™ interactive exhibit was reviewed by health experts and is designed to help families make healthy choices a part of everyday life.
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) research showed 17% of U.S. citizens age 2-19 are obese, and nearly 80% of the kids who were overweight at 10-15 years of age were obese by age 25. A CDC report said that unhealthy lifestyle choices like poor nutrition and lack of exercise radically impact employers' costs. This is because they can lead to chronic conditions, which account for 75% of U.S. health care spending each year.* Promoting Habit Heroes ™ is one way we're working to reverse these trends. It's a fun, yet effective way to help families focus on building good habits like eating well, moving more and staying hydrated. It's also an extension of how we support our members through wellness programs and plans with 100 percent coverage for preventive care.
