Lifestyle related chronic diseases

After your group has decided on whether you are going to produce a poster or a pamphlet another group decision needs to be met.

This time your group needs to decide on  what you will be addressing. For example you may decide to address a particular health problem/chronic disease or you could address health related chronic disease in general. Alternately, if you are from a particular religion or cultural background you may like to address how this could influence and effect lifestyle choices.

For example; your family may be from another country and living in Australia may pose certain problems accessing your families regular foods, or perhaps your family may live a considerable distance from any shops, 'could this influence the foods you buy?' Of equal importance is the fact that some groups are more at risk of diabetes than others.

Following on from this, your group will need to consider the areas of; design, content, issues, causes, solutions and resources of organisations individuals can contact to help them make life altering decisions or where they can get help.

Here are some sites to help you along the way:

• World Health Organisation
• Nutrition Australia
• Sanitarium
• Health and Nutrition- "It's is all about the food"
