Hello! I am Sophia Jiang, a student at Oak Park High School. I want to take part in helping to make teens, along with other demographic age groups, lead healthier lives through improving their lifestyle and habits. I believe that lifestyle medicine is important for teens right now because many of the health issues that adults experience today, such as type II diabetes and certain cancers, stem from unhealthy lifestyle choices that they made when they were younger. By using advocacy to encourage teens and other demographic groups to live a healthy lifestyle, we can hopefully prevent a lot of these illnesses from occurring later on in the future.
