Outline a proposal for health education that can be used in family-centered health promotion to address the issue for the target population. Ensure your project is based on evidence-based practice.
Obesity is a massive overweight condition that is greater than what is considered to be normal and healthy. The number of teenagers suffering from overweight has continuously increased in the recent past few years. This condition is contributed by extra body fats, water, muscles, and bones leading to rapid growth of body cells and developing organs. Increased body weight is a risk factor that poses teenagers to obesity-related illnesses. This condition is facilitated by various factors, which include a poor diet, high consumption of fat, and sugar concentration. The use of large quantities of calories, high fructose corn syrup, and lack of adequate sleep creates a substantial body imbalance, thus increasing the probability of gaining excess weight. Genetic and hormonal imbalance of the mutation gene is another contributing factor to obesity in teenagers. (Alana,2019). Unfortunately, teenagers have adopted a sedentary lifestyle and do not involve themselves in vigorous activities and exercises. Family-centered health promotion is an approach that is used to provide comprehensive primary medical attention. Some of the evidence-based mechanism that can be used to reduce obesity include:
Education on food choices: members should be educated on the best meal to take and at which time should they be consumed. They should be encouraged to make changes in diet for a sustainable level of fats in the body. For instance, consumption of sugary products food should be replaced by serving more vegetables, fibers, and healthy fruits to reduce the rate of reaction (Lewis,2018).
Incorporate physical activities and exciting moments as daily routine: stress and depression may lead to increased appetite, and its consequences are the rapid increase of appetite. Taking a lot of food in a single meal increased massive weight. As a result, it contributes to diseases such as diabetes and related heart diseases. Based on Intensions of reducing and controlling psychological factors, exercise helps in burning excess calories and fighting emotions such as stress.
Obesity management and comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions: various dimensions can be applied to achieve this, such as behavioral counseling. Healthcare interventions and family involvement contribute to the training process of reducing weight. Social-economic factors, which is a complex challenge, should also be addressed to reduce the chances of contracting a chronic disease, bone fractures due to free mass, and low esteem. Members should also be encouraged to undergo screening for early detections of most likely viruses (Kumar,2018). This provides a chance for health care intervention programs such as anticipatory guidance and multi-sector prevention strategies. Besides that, there should be a financial allocation aside to fight against excess weight within from the teenagers.
Medication support system: when an individual discovers that there is a massive weight increase in the body, it's advisable to visit a professional doctor for medical examination. The testing process includes a general physical examination and considering the patients' health history. Further, a BMI calculation determines the mass index, which proves the overall health risk and appropriate approach that used. Gathering all this critical information, including the blood test, acts as a guiding towards launching the most effective and proper treatment procedures. Indeed, prescribed weight loss medication prescription should be followed to reduce obesity complications (Alana,2019).
Endoscopic procedures and weight loss surgery: This technique does not require incisions from the individual skin layer. Instead, when the anesthesia process is started to the patient, flexible tubes apparatuses are inserted in the stomach, which reduces food consumption. It's an approved methodology of reducing gaining unappropriated loss. Surgery may also be another method used to control the level of obesity in the victim. They include gastric bypass surgery, which reduces the intestine distance and more so adjusting the gastric banding. Biliopancreatic diversion and duodenal switches can help the affected population to remove the more substantial part of the stomach and digestive intervals within the intestine. If this method is effectively applied, it's a thriving, healthier model of maintaining a suitable body weight (Kumar,2018.).
In conclusion, this is a public initiative conceptual framework that plays a major role in promoting health. All dimensions of individuals in the targeted population that is health population, those at risk, and the affected by disorder should adopt the stated to fight obesity within teenagers (Varghese,2013). As depicted, health communication, policy, systems set aside, environmental changes, and advanced health education is an integrated health promotion that will reduce and prevent the effects and impacts of teenagers. Increased control and early interventions improve health in every community set up
