Obesity has become a serious health risk in the UK, and rates are increasing every year. Learning more about obesity and how to effectively tackle it is therefore very important to improve and save the lives of those affected by it.
This course provides a holistic, complete and well-balanced analysis of obesity in all its forms and how we can effectively tackle it as individuals, family members and local and global citizens.
We start by defining obesity and looking at the facts and stats, while also examining the correlation between obesity and race, socioeconomics and education levels.
We discuss the causes of obesity and provide a detailed guide to recognising and treating obesity in children. Lastly, we examine initiatives by the UK Government, the NHS and UK schools, as well as the WHO’s stance, strategies and plans to tackle obesity head-on.
