A healthy diet is important in the process of preventing childhood obesity, along with an appropriate caloric intake. The easiest way to prevent obesity is by reducing caloric intake, not discontinue eating some foods completely. Diets that forbid favorite foods are not likely to be successful (AHA, 2008).

New Changes to School Lunch Menus Ciera Jimerson Strayer University Dr. Jeff Kersh ENG115 August 19, 2012 One of the biggest epidemics in this country is children being overweight. As adults we are here to guide and educate children on the benefits, and how important it is to keep our bodies healthy. We have created a new menu for school lunches to ensure children are getting more fruits and vegetables. Changing the menus to school lunches will allow children to lead healthier lives and can also increase life expansion. Lack of nutrition can cause obesity, poor academic performance, and an increase in diseases.
Examine the reasons for, and the consequences of, the fall in death rates since 1900. (24 Marks) • Consequences- Ageing population in Britain- Government spending NHS/Welfare -Lack of jobs for elderly- e.g. B&Q • Reasons- Improvements in healthcare and medicines -Safer jobs Death rates are the number of deaths per 100,000 of the population per year. Since 1900 due to improvements in many areas, a few examples being medicine, welfare and safer jobs, death rate in countries such as Britain have decreased at a large rate, with the consequences causing several problems due to this development. It can be linked to other factors such as increased life expectancy and a decrease in birth rates that happened in the same time frame, which were also influential on the consequences of decreasing death rates.
For example, in the 1900’s, the average peak age for men was 50 and 57 for females. Now men can expect to live up to 78 years old and 82 years for women. The survival rate in the 1900’s was extremely low and baby’s were not as likely to live past their first year. However babies that are born in this century are far more likely to live through 1 year of age and even better, a full life. Another reason which contributes to the decline of deaths is greatly improved public health.
Identify and describe three reasons why there may be a physician shortage rather than a surplus in the U.S. William &ump; Torrens (2010) provided a table to show the first time since 1965, between 2000 and 2005, there was a slight decrease in the ratio of physicians per 100,000 civilian populations. The three reasons why there is a physician shortage rather than a surplus in the United States is caused first of all by more restrictive elements that have been blunted due to widespread physician and patient dissatisfaction, particularly with limits of choice (Williams &ump; Torrens, page 270). The move away from more efficient forms of organized medical practice commonly means that more physicians will be necessary to deliver the same level
When a doctor provides medication for obesity, should childhood obesity then be labeled as a disease if it can be prevented? The facts show that due to environmental and genetics obesity can be prevented if parental guidance is evident and exercise is utilized properly. Childhood obesity is a serious growing problem in our nation. If people had the facts of obesity, eat healthier, and made time to exercise efficiently one could live a longer, happier, and healthy life. “Our children are our future.” Childhood obesity will continue to influence the next few generations with knowledge of the BMI criteria associated health issues with the now called disease America could live a healthier happy life.

As economic conditions are anticipated to gradually improve during this period, private health insurance spending is projected to grow 3.5 percent on average. However, this growth in private health insurance spending is dampened somewhat by continued consumer cost sensitivity related to low income growth, employer efforts to control costs, and several prescription drug patent expirations. Further, Medicare spending is predicted to slow from 5.9 percent in 2012 to 1.3 percent in 2013 due to both a scheduled 30.9-percent physician payment rate reduction mandated under the Sustainable Growth Rate Formula, and an additional 2-percent payment reduction across all providers from the sequester under the Budget Control Act of
