My Family's Health Project

Personal Health and Wellness 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.

Personal Food Diary Guidelines Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to increase self-awareness of the student by analyzing personal nutritional intake and activity routine throughout the course. In turn, the student will be able to help others modify their diet and activity, and improve overall wellness. An examination of a personal food and activity assessment will provide the student with essential data from which to change their health and wellness behaviors.

1. Eating plenty of fruit and veg- This was good for me to think about when my individual could eat her fruit most important in the day, as before creating the healthy plan she was not eating lot of fruit, it is very important that individuals get their five a day, this could be used when the individual is on the go instead of going to get a take away, she can go and eat some fruit which is going to fill her up as much as the take away but will be better for her health and her body, it will also give her a better nutrition to the body and also her brain for energy. This is also for her veg as well which we need to have every day.

For the Family Health assignment, my partner assigned was Cole Hornbrook. We’ve known each other since elementary school, but we’ve always sat on the far opposite sides of the room and minded our own businesses in all the classes we’ve had together. I don’t think we’ve actually had a whole conversation face-to-face with each other, so this analysis should be interesting in finally getting to know each other after all those years. Race is a parallel need but Cole is Caucasian and I’m Vietnamese-American (Choosing a Partner). I’ve always pictured myself marrying another Asian person, but it’s fine as long as we’re both not racist. I envision that we could have a successful long term relationship due to our compatible personalities (ENFJ vs.

I took this opportunity to understand my unhealthy habits and transform my behavior. In my Wellness Recovery Action Plan, the information brought light to the obstacles and how to overcome issues. After filling out the Schedule of Recent Experience (Wieitan et al., 2009) and Tactics for Coping with Stress (Weitian et al., 2009), it was a shock how much I put my body through. A finalized copy of my results can be observed in Appendix A, and the results of the Schedule of Recent Experience (Weitian et al., 2009) can be viewed in Appendix B. In the outcome, I conducted coping mechanisms such as therapy, exercise, and nutrition. Nutrition has been a challenge as a waitress and full-time student. I am always around food at work that led to overeating.

Fitness and Nutrition Paper University of Phoenix Paradigms of Health / SCI 100 Fitness and Nutrition Paper Fitness and nutritional habits should be more enforced in today’s society; especially in the United States. The general public as a whole is less healthy the prior days. People are not as active, make poor eating choices, are indoors more often and always on the run. This is the results to an unhealthy culture. By changing our day to day habits by incorporating healthy meal planning and exercise we can beat this growing change.

The three The factors are as follow: I currently have type 2 diabetes, which plays a big factor in heart disease. Secondly, my mother and grandpa have and had type 1 diabetes that is another factor. Lastly, exercise habits is another factor that are making me a high risk, I have never been a person who does exercising, but I need to change that in order to reduce the risk of heart disease. Currently, I am following a diet that is helping me reduce my glucose level in the blood and one of those changes is that I stopped drinking soda for the past year and a half. I never thought that I could stop drinking soda, but I did. By me making this change in by diet has helped me to reduce my blood glucose tremendously. I know there are more changes that I need to do in order to live a healthy life, but I have been making a good progress towards a healthy

As part of the year 10-health studies class, in the last unit, the class has made a recommendation to improve the situation related to the health issues. In the present unit it is required to implement an issue. As a class one environment that the class has in common is Macgregor SHS. Assigned to groups of 5, the members are to identify a health problem within the physical environment. The physical environment affects one’s health because it can facilitate or discourage interactions and may subsequent benefits of social support. An example is that an inviting environment around the school would encourage more students to enjoy and have comfort around the area. Another reason why it can affect student’s health is it could be an influencing factor

Utilizing appropriate health psychology strategies to establish health-enhancing behaviors is critical to preventing the onset of chronic illnesses. Through this assignment, I monitored my consumption of sugar from unhealthy-food items for one week. I then utilized cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies and the transtheoretical model of behavior change model to design an effective intervention plan that I implemented for two weeks.

Introduction Having a wellness plan in University of the Incarnate Word is very important because it helps promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

The minute that I find out about my assignment I was thinking really long and hard of something that I really wanted to know more about. This was a bit challenging for me. For the fact being that eating healthy is bit of a challenge for me, but thought if I were to find worthy information about it I probably could change some of my eating habits. Due to the fact that I want to get back in track with exercising, and being fit. In addition to knowing that I work in a Dialysis center and eating healthy there is a must. I thought finding about this won’t hurt me. In dialysis eating healthy is a life style. The patients in that facility are joyful for the reason being that there protein was good that month, or just because the dietitian compliments

Purpose: The target of my invention was to regulate my diet and increase my exercise. The behavior I was trying to change is to stop being inactive and instead being more active and eating healthier. The outcome I was expecting from this intervention is to decrease in weight and increase in energy and become more active. For diet, the target of my invention was to decrease the amount of carbohydrates (e.g. bread, pasta, rice) I consume and increase my consumption of healthy fat and protein such as fish, meat, eggs, peanuts etc. I also wanted to increase the amount of vegetables I consumed such as salad, broccoli, tomatoes, etc. For exercise, the target of my interventions was to increase the amount of exercise I do per day (with the exception of Sundays) with at least 20 minutes of walking. My main goal overall is to increase my energy, lose weight, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The benefits this will make to my lifestyle is it will help me have more willpower and reduce the chances of me obtaining severe illness in the future.

Everyday it is possible to open up an issue of “Men’s Fitness” or “Muscle and Fitness” or “Modern Woman” or “TIME” or any magazine for that matter, and find the “new and/or improved” way to lose weight, improve the quality of life, or extend your years working towards the other two goals. Almost all of the methods prescribed can work; some are exercise and some are diet. For the most part though, achieving diet or exercise goals requires one to have great discipline. It has been proven, by each of these diet deveopers, that the diets they prescribe will work if the individual will just manage his caloric intake.

My Family Health Background Denise Xylia Lagua California State University, East Bay My Family Health Background Family medical history is relevant for everyone to know and understand. It can be helpful in determining the kind of lifestyle a person should adapt in order to live longer and better. My family, which includes my paternal and maternal great-grandparents, my paternal and maternal grandparents, and my parents, is from the Philippines. Our traditions have not changed until my parents (Romeo and Luz Lagua) migrated to the United States of America in 1991, where they adapted a new way of living. It was not until the late 2000s that they found out that they both had health illnesses that are incurable. Fortunately, they were able to find excellent healthcare providers, get a diagnosis of their conditions, and receive the proper treatments. As I was analyzing my family tree, it was difficult to find further medical information about my paternal and maternal great-grandparents and my maternal grandparents. My parents and their siblings do not know much about their grandparents’ and my maternal grandparents’ medical histories. However, I was able to retrieve medical information about my paternal and maternal grandparents, as well as my parents’ medical information. There are a few health conditions that run in my family: high blood pressure, Multiple Myeloma, Type 1 Diabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes.

“Lifestyles impact health, wellness, and fitness more than any other factors” (Corbin, Welk, Corbin, & Welk, 2016, p. 500). Throughout this course, I have learned how my current lifestyle has increased my risk for health problems. Many of the lab findings reported frightening information, which lead me to recognizing the importance of taking care of myself through the use of physical activity, healthy eating, stress management, and environmental influences. The overall reason for changing my lifestyle behaviors is I want to feel good — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I need all aspects of my life to coordinate with each other, so that I may live a long life to the fullest and serve the purpose God has for me. Of course, “Knowledge doesn’t translate to behavior” (Corbin, et al, 2016, p. 339). In other words, even though I may be more aware of our health risks, does not necessarily mean I will adhere to the changes to reduce those risks. Without action, knowledge is useless; therefore, I am making a commitment to myself.
