Obesity: Prevention is Better than Cure

Colorado State is known for its health and provides most outdoor activities to most people. According to the US Health ranking (US Profile, 2013), Colorado State is ranked eighth and is one of the healthiest states. Because there are nearly 250 days of sunshine and plenty of open space, cycling outside, enjoying endurance walking, or walking is not difficult (annual sunlight day in Colorado State 2014). The population of Colorado State is about 2 million, 23% of which are under 18 years of age (State and County Quick Facts, 2010).

"Prevention is better than treatment." - Desiderius Erasmus, 1456-1536. "One ounce of prevention is better than one pound of treatment": Benjamin Franklin. These two words are often used to support medical credibility to support treatment that may "prevent" the disease. There is an important message here, but in extreme cases this information brings meaningless medical credibility - especially if the prophylactic drug itself is medicine. Clinical research treatment: It is thought that only treatments examined and confirmed in clinical research are effective. This belief ignores the simple fact that all treatments tested and confirmed in clinical trials can benefit before being tested and validated in clinical trials. It also rejects many treatments that may result in substantial benefits for patients, but it does not benefit clinical trials. For example. Aggressive treatment with little or no potential benefit

Prevention and treatment are different words, but they have different meanings. However, because prevention protects us from treatment, prevention is considered superior to treatment. Prevention is a safe way to avoid problems. We need to maintain a healthy and disciplined way of life throughout our lives. However, due to our negligence, we were cured with medicine and other treatments. Healing can not completely cure us, but prevention keeps us healthy, keeping us from danger.
