(1) Write at least 1 paragraph for each major bullet point:
– Introduction: Describe the current epidemic of obesity in the US
– Describe the negative effects of obesity:
What are the negative social effects of obesity?
What are the negative psychological effects of obesity?
What are the negative medical/physiological effects of obesity?
– Describe the link between a high fat diet and a specific condition/disease (this should discuss specifically a ‘high fat diet’ (i.e. consuming high dietary fat) and a specific disease – do not write about how a high fat diet leads to obesity and therefore disease – this is not what I am asking. You will also need to include research sources for this)
How does physical activity affect the specific condition/disease? (I am asking about the direct effects of exercise- do not write about how exercise leads to weight loss and therefore reduces disease risk. You will need to include research that demonstrates this relationship)
(2) Provide your sources/references at the end of your post in APA format. Don’t forget to include proper in-text citations for your sources as well!
Although there is no required word count, your original post should be a minimum of 3 thorough and well constructed paragraphs (at least one paragraph per major bullet point).
You must include at least one credible source/reference material. This means it must be scientific/peer-reviewed (journal articles, etc.), or come from a credible agency, organization, or government entity. If you are unsure, a good place to start is by using Google Scholar (scholar.google.com)
