Answer 1

1) As we look into generalisation we can make sure that though america is the strongest nation around the world and one of the wealthiest too, but when it comes to health, america lacks behind a lot. the diet and the way of lifestyle is making some serious concerns on the health of the americans. if we look into the data we find that, out of three children in america only 1 is healthy, 30 percent of americans are physically inactive,most children spending on an average 8 hours on screen making them physically unfit, along with this 80 percent of adults reported of not doing physical exercise more than 3 days a week. these are few of the statistics which makes that the health concerns in america are definatley gonna rise.

if we look into the diet, we will find that on an average , an american eat less vegetable than recommmended,around 20 percent of americans lack food security means safe and healthy food is unavailable, sodium content is high in food than recommended.

if we talk about obesity, around more than 120 million adults are obese in the nation and 20 percent of children are obese;.

these are few of the statistical data which makes america one of the unhealthiest country around the world, due to unable of being fit and not having a good immmune system, this lead to numerous death in america due to covid19 recently.

if we look into all these factors we can say that overall america is not a healthy state.

if we consider about being healthy areas, america have one of the strongest army and police force in which the health department is top notch alsso the athletes of america are top one of the healthiest around the world.

2) if we look into the america health care ranking, they are somewhere around on the lower side of the table, because of unhealthy diet and unhealthy lifestyle whhich leads to one another.but along with this, the health care facility provided by the americans are top class with the best hospitals and universities and research centers aroound the world along with the high level of medical facilities. if we compare the health facilities, then definately america is in top5.

-respiratory diseases- around 9 percent of total fatalities are due to respiratory dieseases , this is because of high level of pollution levels comparitively than the past years and unhealthy lifestyle.

-alzehiemer - it is one of the disesase which is very serious and very much prevalent in americans, it is due to the high level of screen time, no yoga, no exercise and no proper mental fitness, in this the neurons start becoming non functional and somehow die later on, around 4 percent of total death in america in 2019 were due to alzheimer.
