As people go about their busy lives, the importance in their health and diet is usually the least part of their worries. To help with this problem that leads to obesity, I decided to research the most effective methods to solving this national issue. In my study of a variety of methods, I not only learned the effective ways we have used in the past, present and even the plans for the future, that many people have begun to analyze. Many ideas that I learned from the interviews I did to both one of my mentors (Phlebotomist Bridget) and to my college classmate (Freshman college student) surprised me about how they view obesity and their experiences. As a researcher, these ideas truly helped me think even further about my research. The articles were also extremely helpful in providing different types of research. Some articles focused on the methods, others on the nurse’s perspectives, and others on government involvement, which was the perfect mix. As a future nursing student, this research will help me with my understanding and my possible future interactions with patients. However, the research will help me in my everyday life as a human who needs this kind of knowledge for my own wellbeing.
