In this assignment, I will be making realistic recommendations for decreasing negative impacts on the health of one individual. The individual I will be making recommendations for and talking about in more depth is James. As it states in the case study, and James has a BMI above average, therefore, in this assignment, I will clarify in full detail what he could do in order to live a healthier lifestyle and lose some weight as James is 54 years old overweight. In addition, I will also be stating the advantages of acting upon and following the recommendations I have made as well as the disadvantages if he did not follow them and continued with his normal diet.

Public health is concerned with improving the health of population, rather than treating the diseases of individual patients. If a condition has been discovered -they want to make sure they live longer by promoting and preventing diseases and complications. Public health is everyone around you and the involvement of the community. If public health is really effective then it will also help the NHS save money.

Health Promotion This is the process of allowing people to have more control over their health as this will help improve their health and well-being. It focuses on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and interventions. Health promotion is how health is shown for example to challenge obesity change 4 life is used so people can have a guidance on how to make their lifestyle healthier. It also shows that health promotion is aimed at individuals whose health is at risk from any diseases from lifestyle factors, which lets individuals take control over their health. By being able to have control over their health it shows individuals what may have happened if nothing was done of it

After reviewing this article, I have determined that the dimensions of health involved with this issue are physical, environmental, and intellectual. For starters, this issue affects a person's physical health because it causes the body to deteriorate until eventually the person dies. Those who become addicted fail to take proper care of their body with healthy products but rather ingest harmful ones. Another dimension involved is environmental because depending where a person lives will depend how accessible these painkillers are. In an area where a doctor over prescribes painkillers, or people illegally sell painkillers, there should be a higher addiction rate because painkillers are easier to obtain. The final dimension involved

By 2002 women who were age of 65 could expect to live to the age of 84 while men could expect to live to the age of 81.

Assignment 1.2 Health and Wellness A. In my opinion, when I feel healthy I have more energy and do not feel as lethargic as I would when I am unhealthy and am not taking care of my body. When I feel healthy my self-image is much better and I feel like I enjoy life much more. If I am able to get the right amount of sleep, eat leaner and take care of my body by exercising I feel like I am able to perform much better.

The competency, “Analyze determinants of health and disease using an ecological framework” was met through the exercise, “Health Problem Analysis Worksheet” and through reading Chapter 2 in the book Public Health: What it is and How it Works.

Watching a person deteriorate from who he or she once was is an incredibly difficult thing to endure. Brightness fades, quips become more tame, and sparks fizzle out. When my high school health teacher was diagnosed with breast cancer, she seemed to wane

To truly understand what health education is all about, first one must understand the meaning of health itself. The World Health Organization (WHO, 1947) defines health as, "the state of complete mental, physical and social well being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." A health educator is one who informs people on how to achieve and maintain good health and promotes environmental and lifestyle changes where needed. As a future health educator I completely agree with the World Health Organization's definition, health is not just about being disease-free, it is also about being satisfied with the person you are. In this paper, I am going to talk about what my experiences have been with health education and promotion up until

The most prominent diseases in my family include hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. These diseases are mostly related to poor eating habits and inactivity, which is also prominent amongst members of my family. In order to control my risk for these diseases I would need to maintain a balanced diet and a regular exercise program. In my last Physical Education class we had to make a wellness change and document these changes within our ‘Wellness Journals’. My wellness goal was to increase my water intake to six to eight classes a day and eventually count down on my soda drinking. I successfully reached my wellness goal I have not stopped with my wellness plan to increase my water intake. I haven’t drank a soda since 2012 and that was a big step for me, however I am still not satisfied as a belief and can but more of an effort into my diet and exercise regime.
