COMMENT 1 TEACHER’S QUESTION

Welcome to week 2 DQ.  As you’re answering this DQ, reflect on the medical advances for cancer treatments and outcomes.  Is cancer terminal?  Why or why not?

COMMENT 2 

I really like your ideas about incorporating diet and exercise interventions. As you have stated that it is a very cost effective and easy way to improve your health. Many people are unaware of the immediately positive effects of diet and exercise on their body. Also, educating our patients on the the importance of these components is crucial as preventives measures against other co-morbidities. Obesity has become an epidemic in America and has been causing many problems in American’s bodies (Hruby and Hu, 2015). Through education and support we can help our communities learn the importance of living an active and healthy lifestyle.
