INTRODUCTION
Promoting health is defined as the process in which individuals are made capable for
having control over various health issues and conditions. This is very important for medical
organisations to promote campaigns and programs for reaching the potential people. In the
following report, there is discussion about the issue of obesity (Barry, Petersen, and Jenkins,
eds., 2019). This is responsibility of the medical professionals to manage the efficiency of
promotion to the people so that they are aware about various health issues. There are various
criteria for carrying put effective health promotion events for providing appropriate information
to citizens for remaining disease free environment. There is need for managing the effective
performance of the medical practitioners who can use different techniques and tools for
encouraging people about wellness. There is case given in this report about the management of
obesity and how it can be prevented. It is important for the medical professionals for encouraging
and motivating health issues. They are concerned about increasing awareness about obesity
among people (Brown, Maslen, and Savulescu, 2019). Nurses are the health professionals who
are needed for providing medical care to patients. Nurses have various professionals to promote
health and prevent ill health over the lifespan. A poster is created for increasing awareness about
obesity among people.
Provide a brief discussion of the process used to develop the resource (approximately 1000
words) (LO1, 2 & 4).
The problem of obesity is faced by lot of people today. As a nurse, it is very important to
take care of obese people. This includes counselling them for eating healthy food. This also
consists of encouraging them to go for walk and do regular exercise to stay fit. Walking is
considered as an effective work out and this also helps in managing the overall health condition
of people (Byrne, and et.al 2016). There are some effective techniques that can be used for
managing the care and treatment of obese person. There are several reasons of having problem of
obesity. One of which is having long sitting jobs and not getting time for personal work out. In
others words, people are not able to lead a healthy life style. walking time by avoiding personal
vehicles for short distance because it is beneficial for them as well as natural environment. It is a
quick method as compared to driving and waiting for public transport along with providing better
health of citizens. At the same time, it is helpful for reducing pollution in atmosphere by
reducing habit of using vehicles for short distance that improve purity of natural environment.

Meanwhile improved purity of atmosphere is also helpful for people in terms of avoiding
breathing problems or lung diseases like asthma, emphysema etc. However, it can be considered
as an enjoyable way to get around without any expense and it is known to be a great way to
unwind (Park, Reber and Chon, 2016). Moreover, briskly walk is easy method for improving
health status of individuals and 10 minutes can be managed from busy schedule to remain fit.
Concept of health and wellbeing
The main concept of health and wellbeing is defined as the way by which various health
professionals are providing good care to people. It is one’s responsibility to manage healthiness
and disease free life (Edwards, E.A., and et.al 2016). There are different people in the world who
are not aware about the need and importance of health and wellbeing. It is essential that different
medical professionals are able to provide proper good care to people. Several regulations and
oaths are present in the medical professional which allows to provide good care and treatment to
people. There is need for managing providing of good treatment to all patients so that they can
work properly.
Principles of health promotion
Health promotion is known as the most effective way for managing public health
problems. There is need to evaluate effective pattern for managing the The health scenario is
positioned at unique crossroads as the world is facing a ‘triple burden of diseases’ constituted by
the unfinished agenda of communicable diseases, newly emerging and re-emerging diseases as
well as the unprecedented rise of noncommunicable chronic diseases.

expensive method that can be made for attracting people and providing them knowledge. This is

professionals so that problems can be solved.
I have chosen way of poster for increasing awareness about obesity. This way allows to get
attention of various people from preventing the problem of obesity. This poster contains
information about healthy diet that a person needs in order to stay fit. I have chosen this topic
because obesity is a major problem from which various people are suffering. The target people
are youngsters and teenagers. This is the age in which it is very important to know what is the
need to have right kind of balanced diet that is needed for preventing various harmful effects and
one of which is obesity.

globalization of trade, urbanization, ease of global travel, advanced technologies, etc., act as a
double-edged sword as they lead to positive health outcomes on one hand and increase the
vulnerability to poor health on the other hand as these contribute to sedentary lifestyles and
unhealthy dietary patterns. There is a high prevalence of tobacco use along with increase in
unhealthy dietary practices and decrease in physical activity contributing to increase in biological
risk factors which in turn leads to increase in noncommunicable diseases.
