Obesity Prevention

Not being able to go outside and play in a safe environment and not having the right foods and drinks to consume will have a negative effect on your body. So who’s to blame? Is it our fault so many sugary and high fat foods are being advertised to us, with the intentions to keep us from eating in a healthy way? What about our local parks? Most of them haven’t been fixed in years and are unsafe to play on. If healthy eating and active living is our path to success, we’re far behind the line. This is serious and more people need to jump on the healthy train, push healthy eating and find strategies to fix our communities so we can run, jump, and enjoy the outdoors. Life is about eating and living healthy, feeling good about your self and your body. If it was up to me, the only thing that would be promoted on T.V. would be about how health plays an important role in our lives. No more unhealthy products deceiving the brains of the people who buy them. In reality every one wants to live long but refuses to acknowledge the fact that the food they eat is what hurts their body. To prevent illness and injury we need people to put everything on the table find solutions to help our community and our lives because helping others is truly a gift that needs to be given. Stop false advertisements, encourage people to use their resources and try to eat healthy even if they have a low income.
