After completing the “HHAY” Assessment, it was apparent the only area I showed low levels of “health” in were related to environmental health. Very seldom do I make a specific effort to buy recycled or even recycle, but since starting college and truly considering how much paper and plastic I use from essays to water bottles from workouts, I realized I am very wasteful. Generally I will go through 4 bottles waters a day and throw them wherever is convenient, not necessarily in recycling bins, I use a lot of printing paper to have hard copies of everything, and I never recycle soda cans. I could definitely make an effort to use less paper and reuse bottles, bags, and boxes. By simply making a conscious effort

Everyone’s description of what they see and observe is slightly different. For this assignment, we were divided into student groups and asked to analyze up to five differences and similarities between each of our individual DeGowin's Screening Physical Examination assignment papers from last semester. Many differences and similarities were noticed.

The process of having a nutrition assessment conducted on myself was insightful. As a dietitian, I participated in a similar assignment many, many years ago in school so this experience was not altogether unfamiliar. Although that being said, the experience itself was quite different. Doing this back in college over twenty years ago, I was very conscientious and intentional about my food choices, physically fit, had never had any type of serious acute illness, and was I free of chronic disease. Back then it was easy, and actually kind of fun, to have a nutrition assessment conducted on me. In hindsight, I realize it was fun back then because I was, in almost all regards, doing quite well achieving my goals for health and fitness.

This two methods both are very commonly used to implement a dietary assessment and it is hard to determine which one is better than another. When you are preparing to estimate a dietary intake, it is necessary to choose the method associated with your habitual intake. For example, if you have appropriate period of time and requiring a relatively accurate result, a dietary intake record method will be you best choice. If you are interesting in assessing the dietary intake of large populations rather than individuals, a 24 hour recall tool is more appropriate. This is because, it is very hard to capture the intake of individual over one day recall. Therefore, it is unnecessary to compare which is better of this two measures and the right way

I was always weighted myself every other day, but I was not tried hard enough to manage in my eating and to plan out my exercise schedule consistency. Since I joined the lifetime fitness class, I have learned about my body composition and where my health would lead to certain factor risk; I reconsider the foods that I have eaten and in lacking of the physical activities and exercise. I now always check what to eat and how much of the serving. I train myself to do the light exercise when I crave to eat my favorite fatten snacks. I keep my body in moving mode as much as possible. Beside my two days of class activities, I have plan out daily activities with my kids after school implement with my exercise

Over the course of four weeks I had to track what I ate everyday on www.choosemyplate.gov including: food, drinks, and condiments. It was a good experience, because this caused me to pay attention to everything that I was taking in and how much I took in. It revealed how many calories in food I was eating, and when I had too much of something. Every week I would look at the nutrition report and it would tell me what I was ok, under, and over in. By looking every week, I noticed I should work on areas I’m “over” in. The three major areas I need to work on to better my health are saturated fat, sodium, and protein.

In the Iran Red Crescent Medical Journal, authors Fatemeh Rahmati-Najarkolaei, Sedigheh Sadat Tavafian, Mohammed Gholami Fesharaki and Mohammed Reza Jafari studied factors predicting nutrition and physical activity behaviors with the concern of cardiovascular disease in Tehran University students. This study aims to identify the important predictors of nutrition and physical activity in relation to cardiovascular disease in students of Tehran University. (Rahmati-Najarkolaei, Tavafian, Fesharaki, & Jafari 2014). Participants, Tehran University students studying in the majors of humanities, basic sciences, and technical-engineering in different grades of MS, MSC, and PhD through the ages of 18 to 55, were given self-administered questionnaires that consisted of four sections. The first section evaluated demographic characteristics like age, gender, height, weight, level of education and information sources. The second assessed their knowledge about causes, diagnosis, risk factors, and the importance of healthy diet and physical activity in cardiovascular disease prevention. The third section addressed the Health Belief model and asked about perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action. Lastly, the fourth section was about nutrition and physical behavior (Rahmati-Najarkolaei, 2014). The results showed a positive association between knowledge and nutrition behavior (P=0.023) and a negative between perceived barriers and the same
