1. What is the science behind what your set weight is that Aamodt talks about?
2. How can changing the food environment help to change obesity? Do you agree of disagree with this mindset?
3. What are the four healthy habits discussed in the 14-year study on risk of death that Aamodt discusses? How does your lifestyle measure up with these habits?
4. What is Aamodt’s answer to diets? Why do you think that more people have the same mindset rather than the thousands of people who still attempt diets?

Aamodt talks about Weight Loss

Explanation:

1. Brain is an incredibly efficient regulator of body weight. Hunger and energy are controlled by the brain, mostly behind the scenes, and this unconscious force is stronger than mere willpower. The brain has its own sense of what your body should weigh — no matter what you believe — called the set point, which has a range of about 15 pounds. While lifestyle changes can shift your weight within this range, it’s much harder to move outside of it.

2. Changing the food environment help to change obesity? Agree.The food environment has a great impact on the nutritional health.Food environment interventions have become a popular strategy to address the obesity epidemic. However, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the most effective strategies to modify the food environment to improve health.

3. Aamodt says lifestyle choices are more important to maintaining health than weight. She cites a study that measured the risk of death over a 14-year period based on four healthy habits:

For someone who is overweight and who practices no healthy habits, the risk of death is high, but adopting just one good habit brings that person back within normal range. For obese people, it takes all four habits to bring them back into a normal range.And regardless of weight, for those who adopted the four healthy habits, weight makes very little difference to health.

4. Aamodt’s answer to diets :

this disease is :

* endemic (present in a defined area that is a village)

* a bacterial infection (treated with antibiotic)

* communicable by contact (by the hands)

manu-porterage is the most common mode of transmission, it transmits germs from one individual to another via the hands. this concerns infections of exogenous origin.

endemic disease, or endemic disease, refers to a disease that is constantly present in a given population, often tied to a specific geographic origin, as opposed to a pandemic that is not a sporadic disease.

antibiotics are molecules that have the property of killing (bactericidal) or limiting the spread (bacteriostatic) of bacteria.

the answer should be true
