DIY checkup: taking control of our health

The World

What does “healthy” mean in America today? From trendy diets to calorie-burning shoes, we get so many confusing messages about what we need to do to be healthy that we lose sight of the goal. Maybe it’s time to reconsider how we define health.

What does healthy mean to you? When it comes to maintaining your health, what works for you?

Newsweek’s Kate Dailey will help us look more deeply into this issue. She and Dr. Aaron Carroll will explore the myths associated with our fat and thin obsessions. They’ll explore what we can let slip when it comes to our health and whether we’re taking the right steps to live longer, healthier lives.
