Extractions: Colorado Healthy People 2010 is an Initiative of The Colorado Trust Despite Colorado's reputation as being a haven for the health conscious, people across the state - just like people across the U.S. - are experiencing serious, but preventable health problems. For example, just 24% of the adults in Colorado exercise the recommended amount each week, and over the last ten years, the rate of overweight adults in Colorado has risen from 16% to 34%. Being overweight and not getting regular physical activity is a deadly combination for many people, often leading to diabetes, heart disease and a host of other serious health problems. The Colorado Trust The Colorado Trust has committed $7.5 million over three-and-a-half years (2002-2005) to the Colorado Healthy People 2010 Initiative. It has designed the initiative to help people in the state to achieve the objectives of the national program, while addressing local needs.

Extractions: Forgotten NCSLnet Password? Physical Activity and Nutrition Updated February 2003 Physical inactivity and unhealthy eating are behaviors that have an impact on health. Together, they are responsible for at least 300,000 preventable deaths each year. Regular physical activity provides short-term benefits, such as reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and reduces long-term risks for disability and premature death. Despite the proven benefits of being physically active, more than 60 percent of American adults do not engage in levels of physical activity necessary to provide health benefits ( see postcard ). Good nutrition lowers a person's risk for many chronic diseases. However, a considerable gap remains between recommended dietary patterns and what Americans actually eat. Only about one-fourth of U.S. adults eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
