If i got rid of all the can see in america, we would live in average of 2. 8 years longer. That is it. A little more than two years longer. What kills people is not the cancer, it is there too frail to whether the treatment or recover after word spread same for heart disease. We go around the world where people live a long time. What do you do about it . You have to push yourself. Look in the wild. When you do not push yourself, you end up with a bony problems. Osteoporosis. You have medications for it, but they are expensive. They do not work as well as resistance training. Getting people to recognize it means reminding them what they used to do. Here is a cheetah chasing its prey. Watch what happens. Ask yourself when was the last time you went at full speed . When was the last time you gave it everything you had . Our bodies were designed to do that. Our average fitness at age 17 is the same as age 65. Although we peak in our physical ability at age 27, our ability to indoor activities indoor activities at the age of 17 is the same at 65. We have the ability to sweat and breathed in a way we have that ability. But we have forgotten that. We have to chip away at the extra cost that holds us back. Crust that holds us back. We have about 200 people who work on the program. We pull together i will go through some best practices. You can take, and began to use. Texas has a big texas from debt initiative. These big competitions that are organized. One school will fight the game for another company or school. Online training opportunities are huge. We started the show, we started a web business. That website gets about 100 million page views a month now. Part of the reason is there is a voracious appetite for unadulterated health information. Give the information they trust for the department of defense approached us and we are building the fitness portion of the armys website. This is what all of our veterans will be using that law allows them and their families and employees of the military to benefit from a slew of different tools. No advertising on the site. These are buildable endeavors. The infrastructure exists. If you do nothing else, take the real age test. It will tell you how old your body thinks you are. Nobody cares about your chronological age. The real age test, based on 30,000 articles, is a test that we have the helps to define that. Every single individual needs a barometer of how theyre doing. We have ways of getting people recommendations. Social media tools to give you a vice. When you get sick, you ask your friends how to manage it. If the military is building them for our soldiers, we can use some for our state employees. California has a lets get to help the task force designing a longterm plan. They build their onboard of health. I think you should think about this. How we assess, how we gauge how help the we are are the numbers we will play against. Lets figure out how we will graded and then keep score. Thatsboard that dashboard, it is a clever way and how to agree on a common set of ideas. We create a little biopsy of the community. We can give us a report card back to the mayor or the governor of the states. Because those governors care about the people in their states and appreciate the bigger scale of the issue when you are not healthy, they can use that as an of to push through changes. In california, it was a big issue because disparities were costing them a lot of money. In new york, it is more about the city of new york than the state of new york. The smoking bans which did not help did not hurt businesses. When everybody knew the rules, all the bad restaurants shifted over. All the restaurants shifted over. This allows a more sophisticated way of dealing with the socialized costs so will we can share them more easily. If you create rules that everyone can follow, they will all do the right thing. Otherwise, people will cherry pick and profits accordingly. I personally think each state will have to find their own way of going on this path. It is worth putting this in a document. Asked Mike Bloomberg if this is good or bad. If were talking about the impact of sodas comment that was worth the risk politically to get that conversation going. There are many other states. Fantastic improvement in some of the major urban areas like philadelphia. When you look at this places, they are simple things done well. Real food, social infrastructure, mich. As its 4x4 tool. What little to do all of view, it ought to be about Second Opinions. It is not about the doctors not been good. Only 10 of americans get Second Opinions for medical care. We have seen that roughly a third of the time, a Second Opinion will change the diagnosis or your therapy. Think about that. The difference between real operatives back surgery in boston and houston is tenfold. How can the exact operation occurred 10 times more often than another . It cannot be a tenfold difference. Second opinions why dont people get Second Opinions . A minor procedure is a procedure for somebody else. If it is a procedure on you, it is not minor. That is the mindset. One of the things a lot of states is it is in 14 states and the district of columbia. It is basically the peace corps. The peace corps was created and the basic concept was take energetic college kids give them a month or two of training and take them off to botswana and build the dams. We take those same college kids and we put them through a month course about how to teach about health. We put them in School Systems around the country. They teach the kids about what to eat and a share with the kids how to get better exercise. What they really do is to give the kids mental resilience. That is what health is all about. If people can control what is happening in their bodies, they can change the world outside their bodies. If they cannot even take care of their own habits, happening make a difference in your Health Stocks when kids your that message, it resonates with them. Kids sharing in sides with them about the world. All of a sudden, the Big Conversation happened and they will change what they do in their lives. It is a very inexpensive program. It cost about 0 per kid. A cost about a dollar per kid. It is privately funded with a lot of public partnerships. It allows us to thrive and play a role and give you a model, an army of young people who will go on to their parents and fight with them anyway, but they the refrigerator and they say mom, what gives . Simple things that allows the conversation to take place. Instead of kids being the achilles heel, they become the backbone. We take organs into the schools. We work with in the teachers unions in order to get these volunteers to play an active role. They take these kids do life changing wakening of how critical, how vital the temple of the soul is. How do i drive this point, . Let me leave you with a couple of action steps. This is a playful path to health. I am in 30 rockefeller center. We have a lot of input on comedy issues. Change your state song to a workout routine. Start a potato chip Buyback Program similar to a gun swap. Pass a constitutional amendment on marriage requiring a certain number of steps. There are some simple tips that i think banks that makes sense. In this room, at the brightest people will know that change the way we do held in our states. We will win the battle for health in our kitchens and living rooms and bedrooms. I think you should have your own health dash board. Business was to play a role. When i first brought help court to the leadership of new york, the first question my question was about the logistics. They said, we do not know how to get the private sector involved. One of the biggest Business Leaders how did they get involved . It is really hard. I want to use your dmv. The new jersey state dmv to message organ donation. We are creating psas to go out in nicolay and celebratory way and get the folks realize that organs cannot go to heaven with you and get people to donate. It is a simple concept. The thought dawned on me that the unique ability to message to people. You have all the information. People open their dmv mail. You can give them tips that are valuable to them. Those messages might be valuable. We can extrapolate from i welcome to up in the states that well desire that as well. Junk food free zones ought to be part of that. He reached out about the governors olympics. You each ought to have a governors olympics. Simple things like that that allow teachers to have an excuse to talk to the kids about health. This could happen from business to business as well. When these folks celebrate, a 10th grade teacher will get their kids to measure how much they walk. When you go home today, what should you do . You should think about 15 minutes physicals. Your local hospital will find these. Its been screened thousands of people for almost nothing and you allow a conversation to take place. It is not scary. Almost everybody has a job, but a lot did not have insurance. Given the way of calling back at of the abyss and given an opportunity. They do not have the right to help, but they have the right to access. Health court is out there. The first lady you know about these. It is inexpensive, it is customized, and it you should be it should be your program in your state. I do not think you ought to hire smokers. It is indispensable for us to spend 15 more money at the same time letting people hurt themselves. We have to be smarter than this. We have a solution that will be complex that will work. Find out ways of making its legal for employers not to have to hire a smoker. I want to hire you, but i cannot do it. I think that message will resonate. As opposed to the finger wagging. Finally, keep nuts in your pockets. Thank you very much. [applause] questions . I know we to do this for a very long time. We have to keep moving. I will start calling on people. One of the women asked about the single most important thing to do for longevity. It is more sexual activity. And then mr. And asking very pointed questions. We started delving into the reality of 80 of the time when there is a reptile dysfunction, it is physical, not men so. The average mental. The average american is in cement once a week. If we could go from once a week to twice a week we would increase your Life Expectancy three years and would be a lot more fun. That is your goal when you go home. Go from once to twice a week. It should be very sustainable. All of the founders, primary concern with was national can national security. What would they say about a company such as lockheed . Based on how they acted in other instances, they would have favored a bailout of lockheed because it supplied the United States at the time with its top fighter jets and its top reconnaissance airplanes. I think you can make an argument that they would have supported the bailout of chrysler back and the 1980s, but not the bailout of chrysler today. What is the difference . Chrysler made tanks back then. They were our only tank manufacturer and when chrysler comes out of debt and repays the government loan, the main way they do so is by selling off the Tank Division and plow that money back into the company. Author and university of dayton professor will take your calls, emails, and tweets on the Founding Fathers and other key events in American History. Live sunday at noon eastern. John kerry is on his first overseas trip as secretary of state. He spoke with reporters in london for half an hour. It is a great honor to welcome the 68 secretary of state of the United States of america. Senator kerry, we are delighted that you have chosen here for your first trip overseas. And to pay tribute to the immense experience he brings to his new role. We have had detailed and thorough talks covering their range of affairs from the middle east and the importance we both attached to ending the Israeli Palestinian conflict. I welcome the focus he has brought to bear on this issue. There is no more urgent priority than restarting negotiations between the israelis and palestinians. That region of the world cant afford the current dangerous impasse. If we dont make progress very soon, that twostate solution might be impossible to achieve. There is a burning need to revive the peace process. Supported by european, arab, and other nations. I know that mr. Kerrey will make every effort to analyze and make decisive moves for peace. I welcome president obama visit to the middle east this spring. The secretary and i plan to meet this week, an appalling injustice has been done to the people of syria that the world cannot ignore. We discussed the vital need for political transition. We agree that for as long as Political Solutions are blocked, the International Community has a responsibility to take steps to prevent the loss of life in syria. It includes the terrible loss of life we have just witnessed in aleppo. That is why it we believe we must significantly increase our support for the opposition. And we are preparing to do home humanitarian relief effort. In the face of murder and threats and instability, our policy cannot stay static as the weeks go by. It is an important opportunity to discuss this with our allies and partners. Our countries agree that iran poses a threat to the peace and security of the world. Talks will take place in kazakhstan this week. This will be an important year for afghanistan as troops stand shoulder to shoulder. Ive briefed secretary kerry and we have discussed progress for the year ahead. We will continue a robust and intelligent response to the threat of international terrorism. We reviewed the situation in mali and somalia, and it has led to significant progress on the ground. Our second conference in may which will support the rebuilding of armed forces, police, coast guard, and public finances. We also discussed the british priorities for the areas of trade and transparency. I look forward to hosting the Foreign Ministers to focus not only on immediate threats but longerterm challenges including the need to shatter the culture of impunity for those that use Sexual Violence as a weapon for war, which is my personal priority this year. And finally, we reiterate our commitment to the transatlantic trade and agreements that would not only support jobs and growth, but would be a much needed boost for the world. I welcome the proposal for a transatlantic trade. But just as our strategic cooperation on Foreign Policy is intense, so as our economic length. We are invested in each others economies. The United States is the single largest investor in the United Kingdom. I look forward to working with the secretary over the coming months and years, and now invite him to make his remarks. Thank you very much, mr. Foreign secretary. We want to thank the foreign secretary for the tremendous hospitality that he has shown me here today and my team. I also appreciated the act earlier to be able to meet with Prime Minister cameron over breakfast. It is always a great pleasure for me to be able to visit london, and it is no accident that this is the first stop on my trip as the secretary of state. Many years ago as a young child, i managed to get lost in london. I want to thank somebody for finding me. This day, i must say, was made much easier. It was impossible for me to get lost. I am particularly pleased to be able to be here with the remarkable partner that is the United Kingdom. When you think of everything that bind the United States and Great Britain, our common values, our shared history, ties to family home, both personal and friendship. There is a reason why we call this a special relationship, really, a partnership of the heart. In the twentieth century, our countries fought for freedom sidebyside. Have fought for survival. Together, we thrive in war, in peace, and we stood together to meet the worlds great challenges. We may face new and more complex challenges, but he why absolutely know that we face them together just as we did in the last century. And together, it is clear that our partnership remains stronger than ever. As the foreign secretary made clear, we discussed the agenda today that reflect the many benefits and the relationships that bring both of our peoples of the world together from counterterrorism to creating jobs, advancing our shared values. That is no small endeavor or commitment. We discussed our agreement, i think that historic agreement. And hopefully, historical and we accomplished it. The u. S. , europe, transatlantic trade, growing prosperity on both sides of the atlantic. It is no secret that we both face economic challenges. We all do in this global marketplace and this challenging marketplace. Europe alone is the largest economy in the world. When you join that with the United States of america, we have a powerful ability to be able to affect the rules of the road and raise standards, most importantly, creating jobs for all of our people. Europe is already america ofs largest trading partner. This will create additional jobs for investment. President obama made it clear this is a top priority for the United States. We also discussed the responsibility to support fragile democracies across the world from libya, tunisia, and beyond. It is in our mutual interest. I want to thank the president for the important leadership. Showing the support for libya. I think he and the people of the United Kingdom can be proud. William and i agreed that the Syrian People deserve better than the horrific violence that threatens the everyday lives of innocent people, people wanting their government to be accountable and part of their own lives. The regime has rained down rockets, and that is just the latest example of brutali
