What role does information play in changing health habits?

If you want to change your health habits, you probably already know what change you need to make. However, people tend to focus all of their efforts on getting more and more information. They assume that the more information they have about making changes, the more likely they are to make them.

This is simply not so. Time and again, research has shown that information alone is not a powerful enough tool to change health behaviors. Smokers know that smoking is bad for their health, but they continue to smoke anyway.

People who are overweight know they should shed the extra pounds, but they remain heavy. We are bombarded with information about health -- we all know what to do. If information were enough, we would all be totally healthy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
