Author Description

What contributes to an unhealthy lifestyle?<br><br>Often linked to decreased physical activity and lack of healthy choices in diet, The Public Health Agency of Canada, Canadian Community Health Survey Data, as well as Canadian Health Measures Survey indicate there are a variety of factors that lead one toward the disease of obesity. Over the past ten years, statistics show a high-rise of this disease and how obesity is only addressed when an individual is diagnosed with it, leaving little success in achieving healthy results that are sustained over a long period of time.<br><br>Believing prevention is key, author Lee Monga, provides a well-researched paper that discusses his observations on how to address the obesity epidemic in Canada. With a focus of looking at an individual’s behavior as well as their economic and social environments, research students and health enthusiasts will enjoy delving into the statistical outlooks of this disease and how its progress can be changed for the future.
