The Health Issues That Occur in Our Society

By Alyssa Mendez

              Many issues occur everyday in our society. The main issue that happens to be popular is health. Not a lot of people have a  proper way of taking care of themselves. As years passed by, the percentage for health issues has been increasing.It causes difficulties for a person when they actually have a situation with health and not having the medication or right help to cure these problems. Health issues happens often everyday and many people happen to avoid it constantly because they don't want to believe that it's serious or they don't want to be embarassed. Focusing on what's not important in your life. In order to do certain things, the body has to be in great shape so you can handle the task. Here are the main issues that occur in today's society.

           In the year 2005, over 35,000 people were diagnosed with HIV infection. HIVcan be caused by having unprotected sex and being around a person with open sores or wounds. When diagnosing a patient that has HIV, it prevents doctors from curing the patient because they do not want to be affected by this infection. Also, the main focused about HIV in a person is the type of medication they will need to take for the rest of their life. Some people can take a medication and live a long, healthy life. On the other hand, it takes months or years to figure a cure for a certain patient because some medications does not work as good as others. If the HIV increases the spread, their is a possibility of death can occur to the person.
           
         Asthma has a estimation of 7.8% in the U.S. population. Causing people to sleep well and have heavy breathing. In order to purchase medications, you would need health insurance, which some people do not have. It is hard to obtain a medication that is expensive. Some Asthma can become chronic. Chronic Asthma can sometimes be cured by steroids. With the steroids, they are consequences you will have to face such as breathing, appetite, personality and weight. That's when obesity comes into the picture because it switches up your body type.

          Obesity is one of the biggest issue in America. What causes obesity is the food that people choose to eat, which is not healthy. The lack of patience when they are being rushed and have to eat a quick meal. That is why people have lunch and dinner at a fast food restaurant. Fast food restaurant are fast to cook and have reasonanble prices, when some people happen to be on a budget. Having to buy healthy food is at a high expense for some people who can't afford it. Not having the right help for the body, they choose to eat the wrong meal. Which can cause a person to have a hard time breathing and walking.

           Many people are not taking their health serious, which makes the situation becomes worst. Not taking care of your health can cause damage or death, which will be difficult to handle certain things in life. I suggest that people should get a checked up constantly because anything can happen. If feeling something strange or painful, it's best to go see a doctor as soon as possible before anything become to spread inside the body system. Getting the proper care and help would not increase that much of a problem to your health.
