Regular physical activity improves health outcomes and reduces
the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, with the ADA advising at
least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
The economic burden of diabetes in the United States is
substantial, with the total estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes
reaching $412.9 billion in 2022, accounting for one in four health
care dollars. People diagnosed with diabetes, on average, have
medical expenditures 2.6 times higher than what would be expected
without diabetes.
“The American Diabetes Association leads the fight against
diabetes to improve the lives of those affected by it and its
deadly consequences,” said Carl Daikeler, CEO and Co-founder of
Beachbody. “As an Official Wellness Supporter of the ADA, BODi is
committed to providing proven, tested fitness and nutrition
resources to help people reduce or avoid their suffering. Together
with the ADA, we will empower individuals with tools to develop
healthier habits and live life to its full potential. We’re honored
to work with the ADA on this extremely important relationship.”
As part of the engagement, the ADA will provide diabetes
awareness, management and prevention content to be used on BODi’s
fitness, nutrition and support programs via multiple platforms,
including a dedicated BODi microsite, social media promotions,
webinars and influencer engagement campaign.
The new microsite will be a destination for visitors looking for
diabetes-related information and solutions, including special
tailored fitness and wellness solutions provided by BODi. Visitors
will also have access to special pricing for BODi digital programs
with a portion of the proceeds to be donated back to the ADA with a
minimum commitment of $100,000.
