Why do ppl believe this kind of stuff. It is so bizarre and defies any commonsense.
- johannes1234321 1y agoIf just the doctor tells it, it won't have much impact. If health education/advertisement from public funds frames it, it has impact. Of course there is the role of availability of options, but they come from demand, which comes from the above.
- n4r9 1y agoSome people have no idea how to diet or exercise, or have no idea that they're overweight, or have specialised conditions that make it hard to follow generic advice. These people might find it really valuable to receive individualised advice and education from their doctor. Also this would often be in the context of the patient coming to the doctor with a complaint. If the doctor says "trying eating healthily and exercising, then come back in a month for a follow-up", some might just do nothing but many people will actually try it.
