Success in life is typically measured by the result of what is accomplished during the waking hours. The degree of effectiveness of those hours however, depend on effective rest. “Sleep is integral to the health and well-being of all people” (Wells 233). Sleep is simply defined as the body’s rest cycle – a time to recharge. The widely accepted metric for normal or sufficient sleep is about 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. When this metric is not met, either through total sleep loss or accumulated sleep debt, the effect can be dire, “Sleep deprivation results in poor memorizing, schematic thinking, which yields wrong decisions, and emotional disturbances such as deteriorated interpersonal responses and increased aggressiveness” (Orzeł-Gryglewska 95). Sleep deprivation hinders the abilities of the mind, harms the body, and shortens length of life.

Pound by pound, inch by inch, it slowly adds up until one day you wake up and realize you need to make a change. You try one diet after the other, lose a little of the extra weight, plateau, and begin watching the numbers climb right back to where they were before and then keep going. All that hard work wasted. It can leave you feeling defeated, frustrated, and completely alone. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Patience, perseverance, and a little bit of creativity will go a long way in making your kids eat healthy food for children.

Healthy food should be accessible to everyone. If healthy food isn’t available for everyone all it’s going to do is cause more and more health problems. If we made healthy organic food the same price as cheap unhealthy food there would be a big difference in the health of our country. It’s completely unfair to make healthy food too expensive for other people to buy, which causes them to buy cheap unhealthy food, like off a dollar menu at a fast food restaurant. This issue needs to be put to an end.

When we eat food, we consume it with thought of it providing nutritional support. Suddenly it has become easier to obtain by just driving though a drive thru and ordering meal instead of it being home-cooking with no thought of where it came from. People believe that the food they eat is giving them nutritional value but in truth it is only doing more harm than good. While some may argue that it is ultimately the responsibility of the consumer because no one is forced to eat, but the main problem it to stop eating a western diet that America has been accustomed to diet or not. Because of the amount of processed food causing chronic diseases, inflation of the pricing of the health care industry, and the constant fact that food is readily available without properly knowing what they’re eating, it is not publics fault for obesity it’s the food industry fault.

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and

Obesity, in addition to the negative impact on human health, also leads to considerable expenses for the global economy: reduced productivity, increase of the amount of fuel for transportation, rising medical expenses. To resolve the problem of excess weight is annually spent about two trillion dollars.

The behavior change I decided to focus on is: getting more sleep every day. For this, the article I chose is: Why Is Sleep Important. Sleeping plays a key role in maintaining a healthy life as it affects our mental activities, as well as physical health. When we sleep, the same as when we are awake, we tend to process information outside our conscious awareness. Whenever we are asleep, we may think our brains turns off but it is always still active because of the biological rhythm that is has. Having enough sleep helps us humans, and living things in general, ameliorate our immune system and gives our neurons time to repair themselves. Another benefit of sleeping enough is the fact that it helps rebuild the memories that may have faded, it reactivates them. Sleeping boosts your creativity. In fact, people who sleep on a task after having worked on it, tend to solve difficult problems more effectively. It also supports growth by releasing a hormone that is necessary for muscle development.

A healthy diet provides the body with the necessary nutrients: liquid, a sufficient amount of essential amino acids from the protein [1] Essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and enough calories. The requirements for a healthy diet can be met from a variety of botanical and animal foods, even though those following a vegan diet need non-animal sources of vitamin B12 [2].

A healthy diet, in addition to exercise, is considered as an important factor in reducing health risks such as obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cancer [3].

Following the French restaurant scene, a women’s etiquette class on how to eat spaghetti appropriately takes place in an Italian restaurant. The teacher speaks to the class that they should only catch three or four strings of spaghetti and eat them silently. However, after a westerner eats spaghetti casually and makes a loud noise, the entire etiquette class, including the teacher, begins to shovel the food into their mouths. At this point, the pleasure of eating food has taken place of the eating tradition of classiness and elegance.

How would it feel to accomplish a marathon at the age of 101? Imagine climbing Mount Everest at 76 years old?. Would it not feel incredible to be a world record winning yoga instructor at the age of 93? How would it feel to be able to extreme barefoot water ski at 92? Do any of those sound impossible? Faukja Singh, Min Bahadur Sherchan, Tao Porchon-Lynch, and George “Banana” Blair know the feeling of each of these respectively. Through hard work, proper nutrition, and living an active lifestyle, these incredible world renowned athletes are achieving what many only dream to achieve in a lifetime. What one should take away from these individuals is not the daunting nature of their feats, but that even at an advanced age, one can live an

Everybody sees it everywhere. “Lose 60 pounds in 6 weeks!” “Skinny is what’s in!” “Detox diet plan!” It’s a fair assumption to assume that the world, especially the United States, is obsessed with being healthy. From celebrity workout programs to expensive diet systems that make people lose weight, being fit is always what’s mainly focused on in the media, daily life, and nationwide. But with obsessions, come unhealthy actions and interests. Most people that anyone knows is most likely upset with some aspect of themselves. Whether it be the way they look, how they eat, or their lifestyle, obsession happens because of the nearly-impossible body types and lifestyles found on social media. On top of this, there are also restrictions and challenges that come with eating a healthy diet that seem simply irradical to address, and unhealthier foods are more available than ever. With these slowly arising issues, anyone would think the nation is making it hard for themselves to be healthy. The society the nation lives in is making it progressively harder and harder to be healthy because of the lifestyles that are easier to achieve.
