This is Public Health!

This is Public Health in a very obvious, but profound way. We all have to get to class somehow if we live off campus, and bikes are the perfect way to go! They are affordable and a great exercise tool! Some diet experts say that biking is a better way to lose weight than running. Biking everyday to class has helped with my asthma and adapting to the high altitude! Unfortunately, the paper towels below the bike are not Public Health. Let's remember to clean up our community always! Because a healthy individual can lead to a healthy community.

I think this is public health because smoking can cause serious illness not only person who smokes but also person around people. Secondary smoking can cause more illness than primary smoking. Therefore, prohibition on smoking in public area can be pubic health.

Public health to me is about education and prevention. This includes teaching healthy habits like brushing your teeth and promoting healthy choices and opportunities from a very early age. The second picture is an example of my 4 year old cousin who is already planning her future as a doctor. She loves to role play with her baby doll, taking care of her and advising her how to have a "healthy heart."

This is the FUTURE of Public Health.

Mark 7:2-4; And when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they found fault. For the pharisees and all the Jews except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.


I think it is interesting how even back then, it was considered unholy and wrong if they did not wash their hands and food before eating. I am grateful for modern revelation and how they have taught us the importance of clean hands and food. I feel like clean food and hands is a big part of public health and the Temple is by far the purest and cleanest place that we can find!

My name is Emily Egbert and my little brother was born with a foot deformity called clubfoot. At the time of his birth the only form of treatment was surgery which is extremely detrimental to the feet. So to me public health means promoting the a non-surgical casting form of treatment called the Ponseti method which slowly corrects the feet without any long-term negative effects.

A large part of public health includes both protection and prevention. As for the Utah vs. BYU game tonight, our campus took the liberty of protecting statues around campus from our opponents. This is public health because students worked together to rise up against the unfavorable in hopes of a better tomorrow (or in this case, score against the Utes) with syran wrap. By taking the necessary measures to protect ourselves as a society (and university) against potentially harmful aspects of the world around us, we demonstrate public health.
