lifestyles the least costly way to improve population health status?

I would agree with the sentiment. As a wellness professional for over 30 years, I can tell you that effecting significant lifestyle change on a societal level is VERY difficult. It's not just a matter of changing the behavior. It's a matter of effecting permanent changes in the work, societal, personal, and family environment that are needed to support the desired changes (versus putting up obstacles to those changes).

Short of draconian legislation, i.e., MANDATING healthy behavior, how can you do that without expending significant amounts of money in advertising, education, counseling, administrative, and environmental changes? And if the changes become too heavy-handed, you have the rebound phenomenon of people who embrace the negative behaviors BECAUSE the positive behaviors are being pushed so hard.

So while changing lifestyles at the population level is certainly possible in theory, the application is much more complex... and likely costly.

I call LIAR. You claim to be a "wellness professional"... What is that? Slang for masseuse that gives "happy endings"? Because you post like either a 12 year old trying to shock people with the word "pu&&y" or a hooker trying to drum up some business.
The only "profession" that uses that kind of crass, crude, UNprofessional slang as much as you have is the sex industry.
Clean it up or find more and more of it deleted.

I also call you a liar. It is not the job of healthcare professionals to try to change society. We work with individuals.
