The education program will be on physical activity and nutrition and is specifically tailored for the Asian population. The Asian Americans, who make 4.6% of the total population in Tallahassee, face health disparities in chronic diseases such as cancer, hypertension, heart diseases, and diabetes (The Center for Asian Health, 2020). An examination of these diseases indicates that an unhealthy lifestyle majorly causes them.

The education program will stress the types of physical activities people should engage in and the meals to avoid. Meals such as soft drinks with high sugar content will be discouraged as they induce obesity. Obesity consequently leads to lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Certified nutritionists will be available during the program to help the population make healthy foods both for the elderly, youthful, and the children. The program’s duration is one year, after which the population will have learned various ways of living a good lifestyle and preventing chronic illnesses. Tallahassee City Education Program.
