What actions can we take to help show how important health promotion is?

In class we talked about ways to help promote a healthy lifestyle and what causes children to become obese. I decided to further our discussion in class and look online for other actions that could be taken. While searching online I found many organizations that help promote health to younger kids through schools. These organizations put together kid friendly and fun presentations that give kids a hands on fun and active way to learn the importance of health and health promotion. They not only talk about how important it is to eat right and exercise but help show how getting involved in extracurricular activities such as clubs, organizations, (health promoting organizations) and sports teams can give kids a healthy lifestyle. Also I found many students throughout colleges around the U.S. have come together through clubs to help promote the importance of health and health promotion throughout different campuses with flyers, programs, and service projects. One last action I found that could be taken was through the media. I read an article that said some fast-food companies and restaurants are starting to promote the healthier items on their menu through commercials, ad's, and programs that restaurants use for their loyal customers. It seems as if we are in a good direction to keep promoting health and showing the importance of health promotion in the U.S.
