A Final Word

I hope you enjoyed reading through the blog and had a chance to think about the broad pictures of some of the social determinants that impact obesity and the associated comorbid conditions. The reason I chose to do this assignment in blog format was to explore a different way of expressing and synthesizing information that is found on the health topics that we are researching. Social media allows health care professionals to access new forms of intervention and health promotion strategies that have not been allowed conventionally. It also gave me an opportunity to compare the things that I was reading about in academic journals with how these things play out in my own environment. Finally, use of this format gives me the freedom to synthesize different sources of information, from news articles, Youtube, other blogs etc.(things the general public uses and is familiar with) into this assignment.

Please feel free to give feedback and comments on what you think about the issues and arguments I have included here.
