Deconstructing DASH: How Your Workforce Would Benefit from America's #1 Rated Diet

With so many diets on the market to choose from, how do you choose the diet that is best for your employees and will deliver substantial, sustainable results that will improve their health and help lower your healthcare costs? In January, U.S. News & World Report released its list of Best Diets for 2012. For the second year in a row, the government-endorsed Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet, came in first.

As a human resource professional, you know you would be hard pressed to find an adult at your organization who doesn't want to lose weight, improve their health, and increase energy. It's likely many of your employees have tried to lose weight on a diet, and after many failed attempts are at an impasse. It's time to find a sustainable solution.

Join us for our latest Clear Insights webinar, Deconstructing DASH: How Your Workforce Would Benefit from America's #1 Rated Diet, presented by Robert F. Kushner, MD, Clinical Director of the Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity and one of the 22 expert panelists who rated the Best Diets for 2012. Dr. Kushner will provide an overview of DASH, compare it to other top ranked diets, and offer insights into the evidence behind their design. Dr. Kushner will also discuss the keys to sustainable weight loss and best practices for employers to choose an effective worksite weight loss plan.

What You Will Learn:

Criteria experts used to identify 2012's top ranked diets

Tobacco Control Can Save States Big Money
