"Why is it important that Doctors are good examples of healthy living? What other careers need to be examples?"
I agree that doctors are very important examples of healthy living because their patients look and follow them. For example, if a doctor tells his/her patients to exercise, but the doctor doesn't exercise, what happens? Some careers need a examples because they need a perfect example to motivate other people to follow. Randy Lin
ReplyDeleteBecause with their examples is easier for patients to do what doctors tell them, and also they could take this as a motivation. I think other career that needs to be example would be nutritionists, dentists,etc.
ReplyDeleteThis article talks about a program called "Walk with a Doc". This program has been executed about two years, and it preaches people a good way to keep healthy "exercise". The Cardiologist Andrew Freeman has seen many patients who have lung and heart diseases improve with exercise, and he encourages people to walk briskly to make sure that they are actually doing exercise. The goal of the program is to help people understand exercise is the best, freest and the most effective medicine for almost any condition.
ReplyDeleteThis article was talked about a new program that Denver hospitals have begun. They are trying to people walk every morning,also doctors who are working Denver hospitals join this program together with people who want to improve their health. Doctors recommend that we need to walk at least 150minutes per week.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is important to be an example because this can be a mirror where people see what is going on and they can say " oh yes i want to be like him/her!" For example, my odontologist has a good smile because his teeth was wonderful and i like to be him.
ReplyDeleteAnother example is the athletes they have a good healthy life because they do a lot of exercise. I think that walk with a doc is a good program because it helps the people to be healthy.
