Lake Nona currently seems to be one of the most prominent power players when it comes to health and wellness. From the diversity of restaurant and food offerings in the community to the endless stream of outdoor activities and fitness centers housed throughout the Lake Nona area, there is no shortage of ways to remain fit and active while living here.

The Lake Nona Impact Forum made some very powerful points and highlighted just some of the ways people can keep themselves fit and active, as well as healthy overall. Though the forum was visited by some of the most powerful people in the health and fitness community from far beyond the Lake Nona area, it was the regular citizens who benefited the most from these talks. “Technology can democratize healthcare. We should all be catalysts like Lake Nona and use tech to bring a healthy future,” said Dr. Daniel Kraft, chair of medicine at Singularity University and the founder of Exponential Medicine.

Every person who attended the forum was allowed access into a world of health and fitness they may not always be privy to. The diversity of the talks – ranging from methods of balancing nutrition with exercise, finding better ways of pursuing healthcare in America, and even just relearning what it means to have good sportsmanship on and off the field – provided both answers to questions and thought-provoking ideas for all people looking to take better care of themselves on the individual and community levels.

As communities around the world continue to grow and change, and as the human race continues the quest for better ways to help care for ourselves, the questions that push us each to do better and make life better for people of all backgrounds will continue to stick with us as our species innovates toward a better tomorrow.

Mark King, president of Adidas North America, perhaps summed it up best, saying, “All humans have much more potential than they’ve tapped into. The gap between aspiration and resource is creativity. Creativity is what drives the development.”
