Health And Wellness Project

In order to develop a wellness program there are several things that should be taken into consideration. First, you must develop your own personal perception of what you feel wellness is and how to stay well. Secondly, you must know what the pros and cons are for being fit. Then finally you must set immediate goals to obtain your level of wellness. The main thing you need to keep in mind is that developing a healthy life style early in life is a key factor in preventing diseases and improving one quality of life.

During the Personal Wellness Assignment, various factors influenced my fitness, nutrition, energy, and sleep numbers. I noticed that my nutrition, energy, and sleep scores were higher on Saturdays and Sundays because I didn’t have school on those days so I had more time to eat and sleep. My energy scores were high on those days because I was happy that I didn’t have school. I also notice that my fitness scores are low most of the time, except on Tuesday. This is because I have an extracurricular activity only on Tuesday. My graph shows that when my sleep scores are high, so are my energy scores. This indicates that I have more energy when I sleep for a longer time. My graph also shows that the nutrition and energy scores are exactly the same.

I really like your improvement project topic because it brings attention to the fact that although electronic health records are beneficial to advancing healthcare, when used inappropriately or ignored it can lead to patient harm. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2016) argues that many clinicans are suffering from alert fatigue, meaning they are becoming desentized to safety alerts and as a result ignore or fail to respond to them appropriately. It considered an unintended consequence of health care that can lead to huge safety hazards. The global aim statement for your project gives an excellent overview of your improvement project. You give a good supporting argument of why this issue needs to be addressed.

    While working on this project I  have learned that physical fitness does not come easy. It takes commitment, time, and will power. Without these you can’t obtain physical fitness or maintain it. Physical fitness is not easy to gain nor is it easy to keep it. If it was then everyone would do it, but those who stick to their plan will gain enormous rewards and their life will be significantly better.

This class has allowed me to refocus on working out and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I will take this back to my unit and stress the importance of maintaining your health. I will show them new ways they can work out in small areas and different types of cardio activities such as the interval run and the fit deck loop. Furthermore, I will inform them that maintaining their health is vital to maximizing their retirements.

In this situation, I learned that I am capable of handling so much more than I think. My behavior post-workout is evidence that my intervention plan works. For every workout that I completed, I felt more motivated to keep going. Every moment of success meant that I needed to push myself so that I stay consistent with my workouts. Both my physical and emotional well-being were elevated because I believed in

The significance of health promotion to change public health behaviors cannot be ignored. Health promotion has been very crucial towards helping people consider their health behaviors in recent years and as a result, many people are more mindful of their health behaviors and lifestyle choices. Globally, majority of people are now conscious of their health and social wellbeing which are determined by several factors outside the health system. They include socioeconomic conditions, patterns of consumption associated with food and communication, demographic patterns, learning environments, family patterns, the social and cultural fabric of societies. Health promotion is more relevant today than it has ever been in addressing public health problems.

The purpose of this paper is to summarize and detail the observations, interventions, and activities performed at the After-School Program held daily at the Howard Mohr Community Center in Forest Park, IL. The activities listed were instituted in order to promote health and prevent disease to the aggregate

However, the control group was only required to be supervised on the initial session and then once a month for the entire 16 months. Everyone was encouraged to perform his or her exercise programs 5 to 7 days a week throughout the study. The FBF group included 2 months of flexibility training, followed by 2 months of small group exercises that included: flexibility, balance, and functional exercises. The AE group included 5 to 10 minutes of warm-ups, 30 minutes of exercises at 65 to 80% of their max heart rate, and 5 to 10 minutes of cool downs. The participants were allowed to use either a treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical for their aerobic exercise. The control group included exercises in the home setting using Fitness Counts.

In contrast to the Healthy Body Image program, the Body Project is another viable eating disorder prevention program backed by two decades of research. The Body Project is a “dissonance-based body-acceptance program designed to help high school and college-age women resist cultural pressures to conform to the appearance ideal standard of female beauty and reduce their pursuit of unrealistic bodies” (Body Project Collaborative, n.d.). The Body Project includes either four 1-hour sessions or six 45-minute sessions facilitated by trained staff (Body Project Support, 2017). Within these sessions, young women critique the thin beauty ideal purported in society through verbal, written, and behavioral group exercises. According to Stice et al. (2000),

Moreover, exercise is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As people age, it is becomes harder to stay healthy and strong. As Davis (2007) includes in the IDEA Fitness Journal, “Nearly half of adults between the ages of 50 and 64 live with at least one chronic condition, such as arthritis, hypertension, diabetes or heart disease, all of which can be improved through exercise (IHRSA 2004).” Therefore, this aerobics program will be very beneficial to the client’s health. Movement is necessary in living a long healthy life, and that is what this program is all about. Physical health can add to one’s mental health as well. When one is comfortable in his or her own body, he or she will be more likely to be comfortable in every other aspect of his or her

For this health promotion assignment, the subject I have chosen to discuss is sexually transmitted infections (STI’s). STIs are spread from one person to another through intimate sexual contact but can also spread through non-sexual means such as via the blood or from mother to child during pregnancy (World health organisation (WHO), 2016). According to Mudhar (2013) groups that are particularly at a higher risk are young adults, men who have sex with men (MSM), black African and Caribbean communities. With more than one million STI’s acquired everyday worldwide, it is a major public health issue within society (WHO, 2016). Even though the overall health of the population in England has significantly improved over the past 50 years because of the highly valued NHS, health inequalities are still a dominant feature of health across all regions in England and many people still find it hard to accept that serious health inequalities still exist (Marmot, 2010).

The summer after freshman year, my determination to improve my heart strength pushed me to start jogging every other day. It took many frightening instances of pushing myself to nearly fainting to find the balance between aerobic efficiency and overexertion. The thought of giving up would often surface, but my ambition drove me to push forward. By slowly increasing the distance of my runs from hundreds of yards a day to a mile a day, my cardiovascular system gradually improved. By the end of summer, I felt proud to be in the best shape of my life.

As a student, I maintain physical wellness by trying my best to stay active. Last semester, I had volleyball practices every Monday through Friday for at least two hours. In addition to practice, our team played matches at least once a week, occasionally twice a week. This semester, I have weight training workouts for an hour and a half in the mornings on Monday through Friday every week. During the daytime hours, I practice volleyball every Monday through Thursday. To maintain mental wellness, I try my best to spend at least an hour a week doing something for me, which I enjoy. An example of this would be spending my time by running and walking outdoor trails, watching the TV show, Criminal Minds, with my friends, or enjoying time with my family members. By doing this, I am sure that I stay just as mentally healthy as I am physically healthy.

The theoretical base for my research project will be Healthy People 2020. The reason why I chosen Healthy People 2020 is because it can provide measurable objectives. For instance, since my topic is on exposure to gun violence among youth in an urban setting I believe two of the Healthy People 2020 measurable objectives will be beneficial. Furthermore, I will use injury and violence prevention and mental health and mental disorders objective topic areas to support my research question.
