Assignment Task: This discussion assignment will help you to describe the key determinants of health and discuss the significance of social determinants of health in shaping health outcomes. Imagine you have a friend named Alexa. Alexa is a 45-year-old individual who recently went to her physician for a health checkup. She has a family history of heart disease and is overweight. Alexa works long hours in a high-stress job and has a sedentary lifestyle. During the visit, her physician counselled her to lose weight, but the visit was brief and Alexa did not feel like she left the visit with any important insights. She knows you're studying health science and public health, so came to you for your thoughts. Reflect on what you have learned in this unit, and then draw on your personal experience with the social determinants of health to answer the following questions:
1. How do you think Alexa's personal behaviors and lifestyle choices, such as her job-related stress and sedentary lifestyle, might be influencing her overall health? Want Professional Help?
2. Given Alexa's family history and weight, what are the non-modifiable risk factors that may affect her health outcomes? Are there any strategies or actions Alexa can take to mitigate
