Obesity in the recent past has become prevalent in most countries and is now declared an epidemic in chronic diseases. Çakmur (2017) describes obesity as a condition whereby a person accumulated more than 20% of body fats or more in an average human body. It is projected that more than 2.8 million people will die from obesity (Çakmur, 2017). As a public health concern, health care policies should be created to reduce the level of high morbidity and mortality (Mason, Leavitt & Chaffee, 2016). Therefore, nurses should advocate for this public health issue by creating health care policies that will cater for both long and short-term goals of obesity management.
In order to raise awareness to the most affected group (teenagers), locals and states hospitals are doing obesity campaigns on social media because it is a platform that acts as a backbone to most of the solutions to what one is seeking about obesity management and other world’s problems. Millions of people are currently using social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram in posting pictures and inspirational messages. As a tool, social media is used by motivators and educators to create an uplifting push for the developing issue of obesity. Social media is an open-source used freely by everyone. As a result, the created health care policies are promoted using these platforms to provide the affected population with a required inclusion in the society and lifestyle modifications measures that they should adopt to like healthy eating and living actively (Çakmur, 2017). Social media educate these populations on better ways of living and eating.
