			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>      A new study had determined that hundreds of millions could be saved in health care costs if clinics started including preventative and wellness care into their programs.</p>
<p>A nonprofit advocacy group called the Trust for America&#8217;s Health discovered that clinics that encouraged quitting smoking, proper eating, and exercise, proved to be a better investment than those that didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>The results were better than expected because they showed savings immediately and not just 20 years down the line.</p>
<p>They suggest that if you make it easy for people to make better and healthier choices they will.</p>
<p>Diabetes is one disease that can involve many complications and can eventually lead to death. For a lot of type 2 diabetics, if they just get more exercise and good nutrition they can live a healthy life without insulin injections or other diabetes medication.</p>
<p>They say the focus needs to be on maintaining good health, and I agree with them.</p>
