In order to revitalize the downtown phoenix area, events can be created to expose Arizonans to what Roosevelt Row has to offer them. This idea could also be used to inform citizens of downtown Phoenix of other problems such as obesity. Through my research I have found that the obesity rates have increased dramatically in the U.S. through the years 2009-2010. And what I will try to do to decrease the amount of obesity rates in the United States. And through my steps that I took to try to solve my issue.
During the 2009 and 2010, I found that according to CDC, 69.2% of adults over the age of 20 were obese and overweight, and 18.4% of teens were overweight. That is why throughout this solution I would want to try to combat this major continental issue here in my own community. But the first step of trying to battle the obesity issue is to create awareness. Awareness of the of both the obesity issue but also of what I am trying to do to try to fight back.
My proposal is to host a nutritional food camp/fitness camp to educate people on what being . How do you know that this might work, you may be asking yourself? Well, let me explain, there were some experiments in the 1950’s called the Asch conformity experiments, but this would only work if a larger amount of people were to come down to events. This is because the Asch conformity experiments state that a person’s actions are influenced by that of a greater body of people, and if only 30 people show their actions or habits might not change. Again like I had previously stated we must create awareness of my tactics to fight the battle against obesity, but I can’t do it by myself. With that here is what I am proposing in my fight against obesity.
My solution is to hold a nutritional expo. I would emphasize that obesity is 80% eating and the rest is being physically active. Again I am emphasizing that I would be educating the public about the things that I have learned about nutrition. I would touch on that so people get the message that you have to eat well first and then exercise. This would be held by me and the Roosevelt Row board. This would be an event but also a “secret lecture”, by this I mean people would get taught about what is healthy and what to tell is healthy or not. And the other sections would be about exercising and proper functional movements so when people do try to exercise they don't hurt themselves.
