• Healthy people can firstly, join together to tell the importance of being healthy. Healthy lifestyle not only brings one's own fitness but also somehow contribute to other's fitness. We take the example of a party being organised. Instead of including all kinds of junk and processed food, the menu should give space to healthy and nutritious food and avoiding packed and processed food items. This can be beneficial for large group of people and can also suggest major long term goals to achieve a healthy and non-obese lifestyle.
• Healthy people can suggest methods and can differentiate the advantages and disadvantages of obesity. They can help in spreading awareness about obesity among others.
