MAIN BODY
1. Identify and critically discuss four cultural practices in England that could be a help and a
hindrance to the intervention.
England is influenced by many citizens but the most influences by Christian religion
lifestyle and also interact with the tradition and culture of Europe country (Bagci, Rosenfeld and
Uslu, 2021). The culture and tradition of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland are parallel to
each other, they follow the UK culture and tradition. There are many cultural practices that can
help or hindrance in intervention of the public health issues, one of the common public health
issues is obesity and their major public health intervention is healthy lifestyle. The four cultural
practices are food related belief, religious and spiritual, dietary preferences and medical
treatment. In England, people are suffering from the obesity at very high scale. Healthy lifestyle
is very important for being healthy and fit, it includes many things like physical activities, food
nutrition’s or balance diet, hygieneness and many more. Healthy lifestyle is very major
intervention that intervene the problem of the obesity in the population of England (Bis-Souza
and et.al., 2019).

Food and belief are the cultural practices of England that can resist or shows hindrance to
the public health intervention, some citizens believe that they can only having or eating
vegetable food and some communities are thinking, they can only eats flesh or non-vegetarian
food (Drouilly, Nattrass and O'riain, 2018). The communities and religion partially divided the
food supplement and nutrition’s. The particular community has generated the aura into their
mind, they believe only in particular source of food. There are many communities have strictly
followed the food and belief culture, they do not consume milk also milk products. So, this can
lead the restriction into the intervention that is healthy lifestyle and These types of population not
cover up the basic daily diets and leads to malnutrition. The whole process can cause the
problem of obesity. Religious and Spiritual is one of the major cultural practices that can also
resist the intervention of the obesity because many people strictly follow their religion and do not
follow the healthy lifestyle. They believe that every religion has a particular lifestyle from food
to daily routines, so they run their life according to their religion factors and spiritual. In basic,
many religions strictly prohibited the eating of non-vegetarian food. They consume only herbal
food and vegetarian food and also not take care of the physical work; this can lead to highly risk
of lipid deposition into the body and the formation of adipose tissues. It can stimulate the obesity
and this problem may arise different diseases into the body (Harnischfeger and Dando, 2021).
Dietary preference is defined as the preference of the food or diet that can having on the
daily bases, many people have chosen or select their diet on daily routine, which is mainly
related to the cultural practices of the people or community (McConn, Cline and Gilbert 2018).
Additionally, it can affect the daily lifestyle, source of income and health status of the
population. As in relation to the England, the survey says that many peoples have only eat meat
that can affect the health as stimulation of diabetes into the diabetic patients, increases the
chances of heart related diseases like stroke, myocardial infraction, heart attack etc. In relation to
the intervention of obesity that is healthy lifestyle can only effects on the body, when the person
is having all type of nutrition’s like carbohydrates, protein, fats, fibers, vitamins and many more.
They can full fill the needs of the body and leads to the disease free or healthy body. Obesity rate
is increases in both genders women and men but, women can least interest in physical activities
because they mostly prefer group activities. As various cultures have diverse ideas and feelings
in relation to food as some people prefer to eat meat, fish, vegetables, fruits or many others
(Harnischfeger and Dando, 2021). The term culture is defined as the behavior, idea, attitude or
