Download or read book Promoting Healthy Behavior written by Daniel Callahan and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2000-02-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The government, the media, HMOs, and individual Americans have all embraced programs to promote disease prevention. Yet obesity is up, exercise is down, teenagers continue to smoke, and sexually transmitted disease is rampant. Why? These intriguing essays examine the ethical and social problems that create subtle obstacles to changing Americans' unhealthy behavior. The contributors raise profound questions about the role of the state or employers in trying to change health-related behavior, about the actual health and economic benefits of even trying, and about the freedom and responsibility of those of us who, as citizens, will be the target of such efforts. They ask, for instance, whether we are all equally free to live healthy lives or whether social and economic conditions make a difference. Do disease prevention programs actually save money, as is commonly argued? What is the moral legitimacy of using economic and other incentives to change people's behavior, especially when (as with HMOs) the goal is to control costs? One key issue explored throughout the book is the fundamental ambivalence of traditionally libertarian Americans about health promotion programs: we like the idea of good health, but we do not want government or others posing threats to our personal lifestyle choices. The contributors argue that such programs will continue to prove less than wholly successful without a fuller examination of their place in our national values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: Air pollution is a pressing global issue that poses significant risks to human health, the environment, and the overall well-being of societies. It refers to the presence of harmful substances in the Earth's atmosphere, resulting from various human activities and natural processes. This abstract provides an overview of air pollution, including its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. The sources of air pollution are diverse and include industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust, biomass burning, and the combustion of fossil fuels. These activities release a wide range of pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and greenhouse gases. These pollutants have adverse effects on air quality, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, increased mortality rates, and a range of other health complications. Air pollution also has profound environmental consequences. It contributes to climate change by amplifying the greenhouse effect, leading to rising global temperatures and altered weather patterns. Additionally, it negatively affects ecosystems, harming plants, animals, and aquatic life through deposition and contamination of pollutants. Addressing air pollution requires comprehensive strategies and collective efforts. These may include implementing and enforcing stringent emission standards, promoting renewable energy sources, improving public transportation, and fostering sustainable urban planning. Additionally, public awareness, education, and community engagement play crucial roles in advocating for cleaner air and sustainable practices. Advancements in technology, such as air quality monitoring systems, pollution control devices, and cleaner production processes, offer hope for mitigating the impacts of air pollution. International collaborations and agreements, along with strong governmental policies, are vital for effectively addressing transboundary pollution and promoting global air quality improvement. In conclusion, air pollution is a complex and multifaceted challenge that demands immediate attention. By understanding its causes, impacts, and potential solutions, we can work towards a cleaner and healthier future for ourselves and future generations.

This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government recognises that many lifestyle-driven health problems are at alarming levels: obesity; high rates of sexually transmitted infections; a relatively large population of drug users; rising levels of harm from alcohol; 80,000 deaths a year from smoking; poor mental health; health inequalities between rich and poor. This white paper outlines the Government's proposals to protect the population from serious health threats; help people live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives; and improve the health of the poorest. It aims to empower individuals to make healthy choices and give communities and local government the freedom, responsibility and funding to innovate and develop ways of improving public health in their area. The paper responds to Sir Michael Marmot's strategic review of health inequalities in England post 2010 - "Fair society, healthy lives" (available at http://www.marmotreview.org/AssetLibrary/pdfs/Reports/FairSocietyHealthyLives.pdf) and adopts its life course framework for tackling the wider social determinants of health. A new dedicated public health service - Public Health England - will be created to ensure excellence, expertise and responsiveness, particularly on health protection where a national response is vital. The paper gives a timetable showing how the proposals will be implemented and an annex sets out a vision of the role of the Director of Public Health. The Department is also publishing a fuller story on the health of England in "Our health and wellbeing today" (http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/@dh/@en/@ps/documents/digitalasset/dh_122238.pdf), detailing the challenges and opportunities, and in 2011 will issue documents on major public health issues.

Download or read book Healthy at Last written by Eric Adams and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York mayor Eric Adams is on a mission to tackle one of the most stubborn health problems in the country: chronic disease in the African American community. African Americans are heavier and sicker than any other group in the U.S., with nearly half of all Black adults suffering from some form of cardiovascular disease. After Adams woke up with severe vision loss one day in 2016, he learned that he was one of the nearly 5 million Black people living with diabetes-and, according to his doctor, he would have it for the rest of his life. A police officer for more than two decades, Adams was a connoisseur of the fast-food dollar menu. Like so many Americans with stressful jobs, the last thing he wanted to think about was eating healthfully. Fast food was easy, cheap, and comfortable. His diet followed him from the squad car to the state senate, and then to Brooklyn Borough Hall, where it finally caught up with him. But Adams was not ready to become a statistic. There was a better option besides medication and shots of insulin: food. Within three months of adopting a plant-based diet, he lost 35 pounds, lowered his cholesterol by 30 points, restored his vision, and reversed his diabetes. Now he is on a mission to revolutionize the health of not just the borough of Brooklyn, but of African Americans across the country. Armed with the hard science and real-life stories of those who have transformed their bodies by changing their diet, Adams shares the key steps for a healthy, active life. With this book, he shows readers how to avoid processed foods, cut down on salt, get more fiber, and substitute beef, chicken, pork, and dairy with delicious plant-based alternatives. In the process he explores the origins of soul food-a cuisine deeply important to the Black community, but also one rooted in the horrors of slavery-and how it can be reimagined with healthy alternatives. Features more than 50 recipes from celebrities and health experts, including Paul McCartney, Queen Afua, Jenné Claiborne, Bryant Jennings, Charity Morgan, Moby, and more! The journey to good health begins in the kitchen-not the hospital bed!
