In today’s society obesity has become a nationwide epidemic that is affecting children and adults daily. Dietitians have an essential role in the health field to treat patients with nutrition problems such as obesity, but every patient is different and how the dietician decides the course of treatment is as well. For example, there are many ways the dietician can treat the patient like goal setting, self-monitoring, meal preparation, and other strategic plans that lead to the best health of the patient. When making a plan to treat the patient many detailed factors come into play. For example, patients age, occupation, family history, and most importantly social environment.

Two obesity interventions that could greatly decrease obesity are physical activity and nutrition, which should be reinforced to every patient. Obesity occurs from a caloric imbalance. People are consuming way too many calories without burning off the extra calories the body doesn’t need. Physical activity is a key intervention to get rid of these extra calories. It will also help them lose weight or stay within a healthy weight range. Exercise will also lower the risk for many complications, such as cardiovascular disease, cerebral vascular accident, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. Start by taking patients weight and asking what physical activity

Increasing physical activity and controlling total calorie intake to manage increased body weight are key factors in balancing calories to manage weight. Reducing the intake of calories from solid fats and added sugars, consume moderate levels of alcohol, and consume less than 300 mg per day of dietary cholestrol all play a major role in foods and food components to reduce. Choosing a variety of protein foods and increase vegetable and fruit intake are foods and nutrients to increase

J.M. is not managing her disease processes as evidenced by her increased blood glucose levels, HbA1C level and triglyceride level. Her glucose was only taken at home 33 times in 40 days, and 85% were above her target of 70-140 mg/dL. Her HbA1C level is 9.3% and her triglycerides are up considerably at 264 mg/dL. Her blood pressure when taken is 145/89 even though lisinopril is indicated on her medication list. These factors as well as her obesity, lack of physical activity and stress level each increase her risk of having a stroke (Clare, 2017).

I would incorporate the findings of this study into my future practice by constantly educating my elderly patients about the benefits of exercise as stated in this study. Depending on my patient’s situation, I would figure out different kinds of physical activity pertaining to their disability or needs that they can do without causing harm. I may or may not have patients in senior centers but would always encourage group exercise classes and family involvement in my patient’s activity level whether it be joining them or helping them achieving their goals. Education is key in promoting and encouraging physical activity. I would use my critical thinking skills to develop a plan that is appealing to each of my patients so that they can further better themselves physically and

The prevalence of obesity in England has more than tripled in the last 25 years. (Department of Health 2012) largely due to dramatic changes in dietary/lifestyle trends with attributing factors such increasing use of transportation, sedentary lifestyles, wider food choices, availability of cheap convenience foods in times of economic decline and also powerful food advertising through media coverage and the increase in fast food restaurants and larger portions; all of these factors have led to a dramatic rise in obesity in the UK, leaving the government with a major public health dilemma due to its

Studying exercise physiology through college taught me the value of preventative care and exposed me to the relatively new field of integrative medicine. Though not particularly rigorous, the application of integrative medicine optimizes healthcare and shines in its simplicity. For example, a provider practicing integrative medicine would have a patient use their typical blood pressure medication as usual, but also recommend that they perform thirty minutes of moderate activity in the morning to keep their blood pressure ten points lower throughout the day. While its practice requires more patience and a deeper relationship with patients, something difficult to achieve when there is often pressure to see as many people as possible in a day.
