What is the solution for all of these health problems that plague our world? One thing cannot solve everything. There is not one magic thing that can solve the health care system in America. There is not one thing that can solve all the illnesses that plague third world countries. There are a series of small things that we can all work too. First, In America where obesity creates havoc on our population. That hurts our health systems because obesity leads to other illness. Hearts are stressed. Heart disease is prevalent. Lots of people have health care so lets kill two birds with one stone. Encourage the population to stay fit to keep health care rates low. Obviously this shouldn't include disease that can't be helped, but encourage people to eat healthy and work out. How do we help the third world countries? This is tricky because a country is third world because the government is in dismay. The way to help these people is by making resources known and available to everyone that needs them. The more readily accessible to more treatment that is used. Suppliers need to price fairly to allow supplies to be used in many areas. There are so many simple things that would improve the health of the world. Using cars less and doing a simple carpool with your coworker cuts down on emissions. Continue to tax things that hurts humans like putting a high tax on cigarettes makes them less likely to be bought often. Create outlets for cigarette alternatives to alleviate the nicotine need. The reality that not everything can be fixed, but if we all work together a change can be made

The Human body is a complex system. We can control so much of what goes into our bodies. There are things that we need to do that don't directly affects us but will. The air we breath is goes all the way through us. If the air is not good then that affects our body. In highly populated areas, the air quality is often less than great. Large cities in China and America often deal with the affects of smog. The poor Air quality can lead to respiratory distress. Distress can include cancer. It can be just as bad as smoking cigarettes daily. Government studies have indicated that low-income, racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to live in areas where they face environmental risks. Compared to the general population, a higher proportion of elderly are living just over the poverty threshold. People's conditions may worsen and that lead to respiratory distress. If the condition is so bad lung transplant might be needed. That would really only be in extreme cases This is why people need to be conscientious about what goes into a body. The body is sensitive. Lighting a cigarette and smoking it is terrible for you. However, it affects the people around you too. That is why releasing unwanted air contaminants in to the sky can be a killer too. Another health issue plaguing our known world is not a physical ailment. It is mental health. People argue that the mental capacity of a person is almost always as important as a persons physical state. If a person is not all there mentally it difficult for a person to function properly. It is also not good for a society to have mental health deficiencies. A person that experiences difficulty with their mental health status often experiences their brain sending wrong signals to their brain. The brain sends signals to the body saying that it is in crisis mode. These signals can cause a person to injure themselves or someone else on accident. A person might also do it on purpose. These signals can cause a person to also break the law. Mental diseases like schizophrenia also may not form until a person is older. A child may be perfectly normal its entire life, and then in their 20s they experience a change in their mental state. A schizophrenic person often hears voices or objects may talk to them. These voices appear to tell the person something. This literally makes the person feel crazy and can often make them lash out. Medications help the person to keep the delusions in check but a person with schizophrenia often goes off of their meds because "voices" tell them too. Another crippling mental health disease that many people struggle with is depression. Depression causes a person to reach extreme lows in emotion. A person feels a sense of hopelessness. Unfortunately the signs of depression may be hidden. An outside person may not know how depressed a person may be until a person suffering for depression kills themselves. Preventable diseases like malnutrition is another huge killer among people. 7.5 million children die a year from malnutrition. Malnutrition is continuing to be a rising killer in almost all countries around the world. It is one of the worlds leading global diseases. Malnutrition does not just include those that are skin in bones, but obesity is also a form a malnutrition. Malnutrition is one of leading causes in children under 5 deaths. Causes for this includes poor diets and not having access to foods that will sustain the human body. It appears that one in three people suffer from poor nutrition. undernourishment is the new normal. Kids either do not have the access to foods, or they are choosing not to heat them or eat at all. When thinking of an undernourished person you may commonly think of a poor person not eating enough because they do not have the resources to do so. This in fact is only one side of the problem. In reality obese people make up a large percentage of those undernourished people. When a person continues to eat and eat and their BMI reaches an unhealthy limit, it becomes harder and harder to eat enough food that helps the body to function at its best. Research says that when living with someone that is obese there is and 8% increase in income loss. The other side of undernourishment is not being able to eat anything. whether a person cannot eat because they cannot find food or chooses not to sustain their body, the result is the same. Eating disorders make up a lot of these cases, because it is not as easy as just getting food. A person has to choose to eat it. Counseling is needed to combat the problem and get rid of the body dysmorphic tendencies. |
