"We can all live longer lives by focusing on what we eat, and how we manage stress, and by engaging in moderate physical exercise and connecting with the people around us. It's simple, it doesn't cost very much, and the only side effects are good ones." --Dean Ornish, founder and president, Preventative Medicine Research Institute, in his keynote speech at the GBCHealth Conference. Behavior change has been shown to play a critical role in preventing and mitigating the health impacts of non-communicable diseases (e.g., cancer and cardiovascular disease). Companies also have a role to play in supporting health and wellness in society and among their employees. Since Dean Ornish's plenary at the BSR Conference 2011, BSR has seem more companies become interested in how they can promote health and wellness through their sustainability programs.
