Question

lack of physical activity leads to obesity, which leads to health declining , which leads to higher health care cost . As advanced practice nurses ,where should we start to make small changes regarding obesity?

Answer 1

The main reason that leads to obesity is not the lack of physical activity, it is the diet that one follows. Junk food contains lots of saturated fats that stores in our body because body is not able to digest it. So, when people have junk food and don't have any physical activity, it leads to obesity. So, rather than starting physical activities, as a practice nurse I would start making changes in people's food habits.
