Can animals be good companions for improving health?
As a consumer would you like to be more informed about the products you are using or considering using to improve your health? This blog was created in order to better inform consumers regarding products or ideas such as food and drink cooking tips, diet pills or even ways of improving your overall health with exercise and workout videos and guidelines. As consumers we can be misinformed with faulty information. With that in mind I would like this consumer health blog to help out its consumers so that they know all of the information given about their way of improving their health is trustworthy and that every necessary fact about a product or tip is given in resourceful and credible ways so it can be easily understood by a consumer. So follow along with this consumer health blog and learn all you can about how to improve your overall health and what you should know when considering using a health tip.
Here are some things to consider when trying something new to improve your health. Always look to see that the author or fact being provided is a credible source like WEB MD, or other sources such as that, that are well known source’s with only the consumer’s best interest in mind. When considering new products make sure that the information you are given is not just a scam to make more money therefore giving out information that is not going to be in the consumer’s best interest with all of the facts regarding that health tip or guideline being practiced.
The goal of my consumer health blog is to make sure that we as consumers can rely on ways of essentially improving our health. Although not every consumer is interested in finding out every possible fact concerning a product or tip they are using, it is better to keep in mind where the information is coming from. I believe that we are in a new day an age where most consumers are using every way possible of improving their health even if they think of ways themselves of improving their health. Something might seem like a great way of improving health, but all aspects need to be considered or reviewed.
Health tips such as a cat being used as weights for improving the health of an individual is an interesting statement I didn’t think I would ever hear of. I was reading an article on CNN regarding new ways of improving ones health and I came across a fascinating article of a woman who had chosen to use her cat as a way of improving her health to lift the cat for more arm strength, while also giving her cat attention at the same time. Now, I am not sure if that is necessarily a safe thing to do or even how well any cat would enjoy this sort of workout with their human companion, but for this women it was the perfect way to help her stay healthy and fit. Everyday a new invention on how to keep your body healthy is being created and it is up to us as consumers to be trying these new products or ways of improving our health to find out what works best with our bodies. Before we can begin to use a tip being shared by other consumers whether it be a doctor or even a health fanatic giving out personal tips it is important to really think about how this tip or guideline is going to affect your body whether it be good or bad in the end.
This is just one example of a way in order to improve health. I found the information from a plausible source, being CNN where news information is updated and researched daily. Although this way of improvement is convenient for the woman who enjoys working out with her cat it might not be the right improvement for you. Consider all tips and whether they would be useful for you as a consumer learning from others who are trying to advance their health. The important thing to remember in terms of being healthy is to find something that works well for you and is also enjoyable at the same time so your experience in making yourself as healthy as possible is accomplished in a positive way.

Consumer Health Questions 1-3
Question #1)
What makes an opinion different from a “fact,” is that a fact is a proven statement known to be correct and an opinion is a person’s point of view on a certain subject. A fact is something that more than one person has agreed on that it correctly represents its statement with background information compared to an opinion, which is a person’s own personal belief about something.
All opinions are equally valid in my eyes. We live in America, “the land of the free” where everyone is entitled to their own “opinion” which is the own personal belief or from one or more people. We all can chose to believe in what we think is the right view to an issue. No one else can make another person believe something if they do not chose to because it is their opinion. Even though everyone might not agree and have the same opinion, it is only the respectful thing to do to let those people believe what they want so it not causes conflict.
Opinions and facts can hold two completely different points of views when it comes to the issue of consumer health and on the health of a whole population of consumers. Facts can help consumers to make the right choices when it comes to their own personal health. Facts can lead consumers to choosing one product over the other because of certain important information that either makes that product a good choice or it can show the bad sides of issues where one product could have a bad review or have not been the most efficient for its use. Opinions are purely based on consumer’s personal thoughts that could pose to better consumer health or lead consumers to find actual facts about consumer health than to take an opinion with only one side to the view.
Question #2)
In the public health ethics value that states that humans should be able to have the resources that are needed for consumer health so that public health officials do not support the use of a “free market” is because supply and demand might help to improve a market, but without the help of the government consumers could take the issue on health into their own hands and consumer health would not be equal for all.
Our health care systems need careful thought when being arranged because there are many different kinds of consumers, products, health care issues that need to be calculated into the equation so that our health care system would work best for all consumers to better their health care. With a free market perspective, I think important points would be left out and whoever was in charge of the health care system would only be concerned with what was best for themselves, or their company and not concerned for us, its consumers. With the help of a government based health care system, it would be better balanced to meet the needs of everyone.
Question #3)
The public health needs to be better informed on our health care because the media, twitters, radio, new stations, ECT…all have a huge impact on consumer’s opinions. Although all of these media related forms of information may be relaying information to us consumers, in the end it is up to us to decide whether we agree with this information or not. Another thing that consumers need to be wary of is that fact that these media corporations may be giving consumer’s information, but it may be purely opinion based rather than fact based. What the general public needs to know is that they should always find out where these media based corporations are receiving their information and whether it is correct or not would mean that consumers need to do their background work to make sure the “facts” that they think they are being given are accurate. The barriers to the general public are what could be chosen to be mentioned, what information is purposely left out altogether and what statement is true or false based on the information relayed. Know that everything you read or hear is not always correct, so whenever you question something about your health care always double check the information you are given so that you can pass on the true facts for our health care.
