Imagine a healthier life
You know you want to live a healthy life, but sometimes that's easier said than done. Schedules, budgets - they have a way of interfering with the best of intentions.
At The Other Health Plan, we understand life and all the competition for your time and your dollar. That's why we've developed a wellness plan that's simple and affordable. You can access our online tools whenever and from wherever is most convenient to you.
We also provide a host of other options for companies and groups. Let your employer know that you're interested in The Other Health Plan.
Not being physically active is a leading contributor to disease and disability, accounting for:
- 22 percent of colon cancer,
- 18 percent of osteoporosis-related fractures, and
- 12 percent of diabetes and hypertension.
It doesn't take a lot to make a difference. A recent study showed that participants who engaged in moderate exercise - most walking for 30 minutes a day, five days a week - and who ate less fat and fewer calories lost 10 to 15 pounds and reduced their risk of getting diabetes by 58 percent.
