we are facing aging society right now, because young people do not care about health that much. if today tou were in charge of global house agency manager, what would you do in promoting healthy habit?
Demographic change is a defining issue of our time.As the worldwide population ages,the healthcare system of every country will face significant challenges to meet the needs of an aging population.As in charge of global house agency manager,I would do the following in promoting healthy habit:
1. Prevention of childhood obesity is essential for the promotion of a healthier and productive society. Through puppet shows and TV ads these can be done.
2. Although food consumption is ultimately a matter of individual choice,local food environments influence the choices made by children,families and community members.Effective obesity prevention policy and practices that address changes to the environment can help individuals take responsibility for improving their food choices.
3. Lower income areas are less likely to have access to super markets and grocery stores that carry healthy food. Making these stores accessible will help.
4. We can focus on strategies that reduce access to unhealthy foods.For example restricting access to sugar-sweetened beverages in after school community programs may have more of an impact on reducing the consumption of excess calories and weight gain in youth
5. Increase access to free, safe drinking water in public places to encourage water consumption in place of sugar sweetened beverages.
