Two caveats to further understand the definition The first is the usage of the term environment as it used in the title of the here of Local Heath Environment One might interpret that usage of environment term as being exclusively the local physical environmental factors such as locally applied agricultural spray, systemic groundwater pollutants, or even the location of local cell towers. Environment, as it used in the title here however,, is used in pretty much the broadest possible context and refers to notions such as a general range of local health discussions, institutions, groups etc, We are in some way delving into additional local health issues beyond the the more basic analysis of just assessing the physical conditions of the local environment
The second caveat is to recognize this category as in a way being the sister category of the Local Health Practitioner category Both refer to individual's who are indeed involved with the general local health environment But in the case of local practitioners we are mapping those local individuals who are generally licensed , or certified in some manner, to have a local health practice or helpful engagement with others in regard to health. These individuals can of course be part of the suggested community based discussions which is perhaps the main idea of the local health environment menu.
Community Health Checklist A list of strategies and ideas to create the general network that are necessary to creating a successful cooperative community in regard to he Lists of priorities, feedback systems
Demographics of local health issues This has two aspects. One is, as a community, how much information would we like to have on the health of those in our community in particular disease, high risk behavior, and disability parameters. The second is that we can forego specific local demographic information and instead generally expect Napa to have relatively the same rates of disease and dysfunction as other localities. Or some combination of the two
Specific Population- Diets the categories for now include those of seniors, students in public schools, hospitals, special needs people, and prisoners. In general it easier to claim we should have some transparency to this information particularly in the cases where the meals are prepared bu public entities such as prisons and public schools. Thus the question of how much we can legally know and disseminate regard the other population mentioned may be murkier. Persons with certain disease conditions can of course be considered special populations as well but we are moving that part of the discussion the Food and Diet menu since those populations are ostensibly more autonomous in their food churches whereas the aforementioned are subjugated to institutional regimes to one degree or another
Fundamental Health Understandings This is likely the most technical or physiologically based sub topic. For those who are interested comprehensive understanding of all of the physiological information, we do try to offer an outline of that information under the Physiology sub-menu under the Health Bullet menu To what extent any given person or organization delves into this matter, or should delve into these issues is open for debate. as we have stated elsewhere there are at least some who are concerned for whatever reason menu but instead more like a portal where discussions and efforts to bring certain ideas from these understandings to the the fore of either community or personalized approaches in dealing with some of the problems we face by the questions raised in both. It is a step where the information of fundamental physiological, emotional, and other fundamental understandings can be synthesized to approaches that offer interventions with some of the problems listed both in the community health issues. the present idea is this section mostly considers physiology, tried mental health practitioners, and perhaps cooperative based approaches with these technologies to improve the conditions of those who are suffering. Again the socio-economic considerations of many of these issue are in many ways outside the scope of what good nutrition and other physiologically based therapies may offer. Therefore socio-economic considerations should be looked at as well, but , in our opinion we are then leaving the more distinct idea of health and moving towards strictly societal question so those subjects are not dealt with in depth here
Consuming Health Products - Products associated with diet and cooking question have separate section for the products associated with those topics. Here we include products like herbs and supplements, saunas, air purifiers and a host of others. But before getting specific about those items, prioritizing their local production, when possible, remains something we want to highlight. In other words, while the title of this section is Consuming Health Products, one consumer option to consider would be locally produced products. The description of the fine lines between non local conventional market producers, locally based conventional businesses, and alternative local systems, is a theme which runs through the website. To get perhaps a better explanation of these distinction you can go to the Local Networking menu and go the the Localism Context menu under the Localism menu which is in the Local Networking section
In returning to the discussion of the kinds of products we are considering, we really need to expand the definition of products to include space, such as buildings and therapies such as Tai Chi While we have a separate section for local health practitioners including Tai chii instructors the focus here would be the products which are conceivably associated with the practice .In Tai chi's case it is almost nothing other than space and a floor mat
Thus we have the three pages of types of producer, local conventional business, large scale conventional producers, and local alternative/cooperative producers, and then four pages dedicated to categorizing and listing the kinds of products being considered;
Facebook groups provides as many local Facebook groups as we could find relating to health and fitness. Again organizing them by category and offering a small summary with the link are potential goals
