The Health Interventions And Improvement Of Activities Among The Teengers

First of all, evidences suggest that the health promoting school program can effective reduce several types of risk behaviors and solve health related issue via implement a diversity of health education strategies (Stewart-Brown, 2006). In addition, the approach can improve the health knowledge, attitude and behavior of individuals and bring positive effects to education and health outcome (Moon et al., 1999).

 I feel like schools should pay closer attention monitoring the health of children because health is such an important factor in everyday life and not all children are given that luxury at home. Some students might feel that they are overweight and schools can help students understand what the real definition of overweight is, how can they stop becoming overweight and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes the stigma of being overweight can lead to eating disorders of students so it’s good to promote positive eating

Helen Keller once said, “All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” Throughout life each person will face obstacles, but will only be defined by how they overcome or fail. In today’s society health and wellness has become such a challenge. Many things in our environment, social status, financial position, and culture can affect what we eat and our health status. Families in many countries are facing new onset of diseases and disorders, in which modern medicine now has the ability to combat to prolong good quality of life. Through research and education, families are now being able to understand juvenile diabetes. As a result, children are being able to live more normal lives.

Thank you for your interest in the San Joaquin County Safe Routes to School Network. The network seeks to join together parties across the county including parents, teachers, health advocates, community members, and business owners to improve the health of youth in the county. By promoting physical activity before and after school, students gain opportunities to form healthy habits and lead healthy lives. In these newsletters, you will receive information about current and future activities for Safe Routes to School, recent research or journals, and ideas of how to support programs. Small actions such as speaking to youth about health benefits or partnering with schools can create a positive environment for students. Together we

School lunches, curriculum focus, and daily activities have changed in elementary schools over the years. The nutritional value in school lunches often meet a bare minimum. Curriculum is focused strongly on idealistic future careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; but often forget teaching basic healthy habits needed for lifelong health. Physical education is no longer required every single day. Obesity has become an epidemic and not just for adults, it is increasingly affecting children as well. Children spend a generous amount of time in the classroom. They spend more time in school than at home or anywhere else. Therefore, schools have a responsibility in preventing obesity in adolescents by teaching them healthy habits, serving them nutritious food, and providing them with adequate physical activity.

On a smaller scale, a change ought to occur in communities in which the children live and attend school in order to provide an environment that makes healthy choices readily available. Parents as well as schools largely contribute to this epidemic. Schools contribute to obesity, and need to approach this matter face first. (1) Physical education programs are limited, which is distributing considering only 3.8% of elementary schools, 7.9% of middle schools and 2.1 percent of high schools actually provide their students with physical education. Curriculum needs to be utilized in order to educate and empower students of the importance of nutrition and physical activity. For change to occur everyone has to be on board, particularly parents. Parents cannot just tell children what and whatnot to do; they need to allow children to participate in planning and of activities, in order to be successful. Children like to feel as if they are an active participant and to take part in the decision-making process, thus the parent ought to provide them with instrumental support. Parents and school systems are strong advocates and need to implement change to receive positive results; there are various effective methods of doing this. Children spend most of their time in school and at home, subsequently education should occur about of nutrition’s and

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) The Ottawa charter aims to ‘Reduce differences in current health status and ensuring equal opportunities and resources to enable all people to achieve their fullest health potential.’ The Ottawa charter provides the framework to identify what we can do at a; local community level, state level, national government level and international organisation level (WHO). In this report the Ottawa charter will be used to demonstrate what action areas can be addressed to improve the nutrition, health and wellbeing of young children and adolesces. This report will focus on strengthening and developing each individual student’s personal skills, to help strengthen childhood and adolesces nutrition, health and wellbeing. According Better Health Victoria to Enabling developing personal schools allows ‘people to learn (throughout life) to prepare themselves for all of its stages and to cope with chronic illness and injuries is essential. This has to be facilitated in school, home, work and community

I am surprised that we are able to learn about problems that links to the risk factor of obesity. For instance, I learned that the elementary schools are serving unhealthy food which is a problem that can lead children to be at risk of obesity. We can resolve this problem by having protective factors for the children. And that protect factor can reduce the risk of obesity for children. I was able to think about different interventions that can help children in a way they can learn about being healthy. Children can learn and change their habits in healthy ways like being active, eating healthy choices, and avoiding unhealthy choices. Community can be the voice to prevent obesity for children. The spectrum of preventions is a great tool to help find protective factors to resolve the modifiable risk factors. With each prevention, the amount of obesity risk will be reduced to smaller number for children. Overall, I learn to utilize the different concept tools to help solve a problem. The risk and protective factors helps us see what is there and what is not there. The socioecological web gives us details about the problems within each level. The spectrum of preventions are ways to change the risk factors so there are available resources that can reduce and prevent the problem. Any program containing various interventions can lead health promotion within a community to help address a specific health topic and people get to learn information and get accessible resources so they can be healthy and

According to the (WHO, 2016) The Ottawa Charter aims to ‘reduce differences in current health status and ensure equal opportunities and resources to enable all people to achieve their fullest health potential.’ The Ottawa charter provides the framework to identify what can be done at a; local community level, state level, national government level and international organisation level (WHO, 2016). In this report the Ottawa charter will be used to demonstrate what action areas that can be addressed to improve the nutrition, health and well-being of students at Centenary Heights State High School (CHSHS). The aim of this report is the focus of strengthening and developing each individual student’s personal skills, to help strengthen students’ nutrition, health and wellbeing. According to Better Health Victoria, developing personal of school students allows ‘people to learn (throughout life) how to prepare themselves for all of its stages and to cope with chronic illness and injuries is essential. This has to be facilitated in school, home, work and community settings.’

The Plan and Recommendations for Health Promotion Healthy People 2020 One of the main objectives of Healthy People 2020 is to nurture the healthy lifestyle and reduce the chronic diseases through healthy eating and by sustaining stable body weights. To support the healthy status, Healthy People 2020 objectives have strong science supports that diet and body weight are one of the essential parts of any person’s health status. Healthy People 2020 also stresses out that changes in Americans’ foods intakes and way to live should be started in schools, working places, communities and healthcare establishments. Today in America one of three children is obese, which leads to wide range of diseases such as hypertension, increased cholesterol level causing heart problems, and diabetes. That’s why promoting healthy meals and snacks in school is the first step to preventing obesity in children.

The schools play an important part in the health of a child, there in schools they learn how to be active, eat healthy, and some schools districts provide a great program fun and fitness, but unfortunately, not all kids that need it participate in those programs, due to the lack of information to the parents.

The goal of this program was to prevent Type 2 Diabetes as well as reduce childhood obesity and the among Kahnawake residents. The project developed a health education curriculum for children, strengthened the school’s nutrition policy to create supportive environments for healthy eating in the school, and provided a program of classroom and school activities to promote healthy lifestyles for parents, teachers, and children throughout the school year. To follow up and support what the children learned in class, a year-long program of community activities that included walking clubs, cooking courses and community gardens was initiated (Willows, Hanley, & Delormier,

Children spend most of their time with their parents or in school, so parents and the schools are better placed to guide the eating habits and the physical activities of these children. Parent should definitely enforce the habit of ensuring that their children do not watch television, play video games or work on the computer for a prolonged period of time. They should however, create daily routine for their children to engage in physical activities such as playing soccer, taking a walk, riding bicycle and so on. Parents need to be educated on which foods provide a more nutritious option and devoid of unhealthy ingredients for their children. They will then be able to make the right decisions of providing healthier meals to the children. For example, providing a whole grain cereal instead of a more refine cereal will provide healthy benefit to a child. Also, if the schools provide an opportunity for the children to engage in sufficient physical activities, it will go a long way to reduce childhood obesity. Also by ensuring that unhealthy foods are not allowed in schools, it will take away the opportunity for the children to eat unhealthy diet while in school. Very importantly, schools must ensure that only healthy diets are served to students. Teachers can also encourage parents to pack

External factors can be recognised as interventions from surrounding environments such as government, school or law. All of these environments provide a wide range of information about health that is available through specific sources and intend to improve the health of people. Although the level of provided information is extensive that does not always mean they are fully competent. There are a few positive interventions made by schools that focus on educating children on the subject of health. One of these interventions is providing physical education in schools, which is needed in present times as children are overwhelmed by electronic devices. It stimulates them to being active and gives an opportunity to take part in a wide range of sporting activities (Y158, cited in L185 Block 3 Session 3, p.13). Another intervention refers to a healthy diet, more specifically to meals that are provided in schools. There is a high involvement of media that comments on what kind of food is served by school kitchens. Parents as well as a society expect that schools offer balanced nutrition and encourage children to take a healthy approach to their diet (Y158, cited in L185 Block 3 Session 3, p.14). One more intervention is educating children about health, which is included in their lessons. Information given during the lessons is focusing on having a greater understanding and knowledge of health matters (Y158, cited in L185 Block 3 Session 3, p.13).

The importance of establishing health promoting practices during childhood and adolescence has long been recognized by nutritionists and other health professionals. The purpose of this paper is to investigate further the issues relating to adolescents' diets and contributing factors. Contributing factors include the increase of fast food consumption, unconventional meal patterns and lack of exercise. During adolescence, the influences on eating habits are numerous. The growing independence of adolescents, increased participation in social life and a generally busy schedule of activities have a great impact on food intake.�In the September 2007 issue of 'Health Promotion
