The decline in public health and quality of life
The decline in public health and quality of life
I think what I most learned from the covid 19 pandemics is the importance of mental and physical health and how the two are very interlinked. Though many people may not know it Covid-19 was about our already declining public health and the future in regards to how we take care of our health according to "Collabrators" "In 2015, a total of 107.7 million children and 603.7 million adults were obese. Since 1980, the prevalence of obesity has doubled in more than 70 countries and has continuously increased in most other countries" this rise is happening in many countries and not coincidentally 78% of hospitalized covid-19 patients who were hospitalized were obese or overweight according to the CDC. Exercise can be a cost-effective manner of improving mental health as well as physical no matter your social, economic, or racial status.

In layman's terms, you need to be in an energy deficit by burning more calories than you consume on a consistent daily basis. The energy you consume is based on your TDEE (Total Daily Energy expenditure) which is calculated with your basal metabolic rate (the energy you use to stay alive) plus the amount of physical activity on a weekly basis which you can easily get on a website like this. Down below is a video explaining the process

Beyond the benefits to cardiovascular health and being a potentially powerful weightloss tool, It's also proven to reduce anxiety and depression.
Hello Viewer,
Hello Viewer,
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic society as a whole was encouraged to stay inside for the safety of others and rightfully so, but it just so happens that the obesity epidemic that's been going on the whole time is a major part of it. But not only is this a time for physical well being but you're well-being as a whole and physical well-being is often underrated when it comes to mental health. The core value I choose reflects what I want people to get out of viewing this, The ability to improve yourself for the benefit of yourself.
I think throughout social media it is badly portrayed that body positivity really is all bodies can be beautiful but not all bodies are healthy, promoting the longevity and quality of your life through improving your body's wellness is more body positive than the opposite. Similar to the Gaming community in the "Game design" page through spreading real fitness information people can then grow as a community. Like the "Mental Health" page emphasizes due to the unfair circumstances minority communities have been disproportionally hit in many aspects of wellness, So if we can spread accurate information a lot of lives could be helped and possibly saved with improving fitness.
The health crisis is raging on and covid-19 will not be the last virus, but the ability to improve yourself expands beyond the reach of just physical and mental health it can be an aid in an inconceivable amount of ways.
Influencer's in regards of health
Influencer's in regards of health
In the article "Athletes of influence?" It questions the expectation and how we view athletes as a figure outside of their fields. Athletes are no doubt influencers and are expected to be role models and encourage a younger generation as they are the most influenced but this article points out a key fact that statistically, this isn't true at all. With this misconception, it's hard to understand what purpose influencers serve. Frankly in social media and social media is a huge part of influencing in today's society, influencers have become marketing for brand's this is really seen with the new release of Space jam, Clothing, Gimmicks, and scams seen with copy and paste weight loss and resistance training plans that are scientifically ineffective and pitched to people who actually want to better themselves. I personally think social media should be a tool used for positive influence and the spread of accurate knowledge that can help a lot of people instead of a marketing tool for big corporations because as this article points out there isn't really a reason we should take influence to these people, and to the majority, these influencers aren't relatable. People should be careful where they get their information just because they are famous in their field doesn't mean they necessarily know what they're talking about or what they are marketing is reliable. The video below shows an influencer who spreads misinformation for the benefit of a million-dollar corporation and it's happening everywhere.

Most of you will have never heard of these youtubers and that's simply because useful and accurate fitness information is by no means marketable or popularizing, So be careful where you get your fitness information. Every single one of the people I have listed has years in coaching and personal experience when it comes to the average population and even people who's careers are based on fitness, I know the content they have to provide can benefit everyone's fitness journey substantially.
