Positive Health Profile The University of Iowa consistently demonstrates a health profile that is very positive compared to State of Iowa and National norms. Benchmark data indicates that individuals who are not physically active spend $300 more in annual direct medical costs compared to those who are physically active. Thus a focus of liveWELL programming is around the value of exercise and movement throughout the day. Benefits of physical activity include: • Weight management

Sustained Good Health Through a population approach to health management, health and well‑being services benefit people and impact the University in a number of positive ways. A five-year review indicates sustained healthy behaviors in a number of areas captured in the Personal Health Assessment. A notable area of improvement is in how UI faculty and staff report their nutrition habits. Much of this change is attributed to the University environment and the broader community in terms of highlighting healthy nutrition choices. One campus example is the UChoose™ program that identifies healthy food options in campus dining locations. Greater awareness of how food impacts energy levels and overall health is a consistent theme throughout liveWELL programs.

Changing the Food Culture at UI Success at the local level
Wellness Ambassadors Deb Pfab and Laura Knosp, at The Institute for Clinical and Translational Science within UI Health Care, have successfully introduced a daily salad club to their work group. Each week, members sign up to bring an item: greens, toppings, veggies, or dressings. Daily, a buffet-style, colorful variety of healthy combinations is presented allowing for a healthful lunch as well as the opportunity to try out some new foods. According to one Salad Club member, “I used to spend 20 or so minutes every night of the week packing the next day’s lunch. Now I bring my food in on Monday and lunch is handled for the whole week! It saves me so much time!”
