Keeping active can help prevent more than 3,000 cases of cancer a year in the UK. I think this strategy is good as it’s helping prevent cancer as well as helping to keep a healthy body at the same time. The only disadvantage to this strategy is people not being able to afford a gym membership or any gym equipment for their home but they could still do exercise in their home without any equipment. Another strategy to prevent breast cancer is to drink less alcohol, just by sticking to the government guidelines. In the UK, alcohol causes 12,500 cases of cancer, around 4%.I also think this strategy is easy to follow as there’s no need to stop drinking alcohol completely, just less of it.
Alot of studies into health inequalities rely on morality, death, and morbidity, illness, data. The results are usually presented in rates as this is less crude and it creates a more meaningful study. Poorer areas will only have small corner shops as large supermarkets won't build in areas that won't be able to afford the upkeep of the shop. This will mean there are more little corner shops with higher prices just because the shopkeepers know that they can charge higher as the community prefer not to travel to get their weekly shopping.

Living too long on the other hand, leaves a negative impact as well because there are terminally ill individuals out there who need the good, compassionate death so they would no longer suffer being alive and having the illness drag them down. Therefore, living in that condition seems far worse than death. Emanuel also states, “I am not advocating 75 as the official statistic of a complete, good life in order to save resources, ration health care, or address public policy issues arising from the increases in life expectancy.” (81). He wants individuals to reach out for the health care opportunities as much as they can so they won’t suffer. Evolution also enables us to live even longer.
People with rich social network – relatives, friends – are active, happier and cope better with the process of ageing. Those with a poor social network -living alone, no relatives, few friends – are isolated while all the changes they are going through tend to overwhelm them. Speaking from the cognitive point of view, older people tend to loss their attention, they can’t focus like they used to; many older adults complain of increased memory lapses; sometimes they experience the word-finding difficulty or they find it hard to make decisions.

WIC is a program that should be continued: not only does it help women and their children, its goal is to help, aid, and foster a healthy society that would otherwise
