Assignment 8. Solving the problem

My problem has to do with more and more people are becoming obese nowadays especially children. I have a couple solutions for this situation, my first is to have a "support group" for anyone who is interested but in this group you exercise and have meal prep ideas so not only are you getting the exercise you need but you're also eating right. Within this group you can create a app that lets you do any of it at home or from anywhere in the country so if people aren't able to make it to a session they can what workouts are being done for the week and also all the recipes for that week as well. The main point of the group is so that people know they're not alone, and together they can conquer this disease. Another idea and this one is pointing more towards children is to create healthy meals for them to eat at school so even if they aren't eating healthy at home they are at least eating right at school. Also they need to incorporate more recess and gym in schools, my sister doesn't have gym this year because she has to take other classes instead, which don't get me wrong I'm sure those classes are important but so is gym. Children need their exercise not only to get their energy out but also to be healthy!

  1. Hi Jaycie,
    There are many solutions to help people with the problem of obesity and healthy diet. I like the idea of combining exercise and healthy eating in one app. What do you think is the competitive advantage of your solution. One idea for your problem is a housing complex for people who are willing to live in an environment that focuses on exercise and healthy eating. Such as a high rise apartment with a healthy restaurant at the lobby and a gym that you can access with your apartment card. There should be a goal every week and if residents meek that goal they can get a discount either on rent or food.

  2. Hi Jaycie,

    I found your app idea to be very interesting! Obesity is a growing problem in the United States, and if we gave people exercise and food prepping support groups, they would be able to learn better health techniques and learn about proper ways to manage your weight through diet and exercise. I believe meal prepping could be very helpful in allowing people to learn about how to create a balanced meal.
