I have struggled with my diet the past few years, either consuming to much or to little, ultimately eating not very healthy.

Taking care of myself inside will help in the workforce mentally and physically but also help with my knowledge about healthy eating, I’ll be able to share and teach by example.

Rodney was your average man. He ate, watched sports, and loved his family. Yet Rodney was ashamed, due to the fact he was overweight. Rodney’s family loved him and encouraged him to lose the weight, so they wouldn’t lose their father and husband. He currently weighed 310 pounds and worried nothing of it. After years of his families begging the only thing that drove him to lose the weight, was a mini heart attack. This scared Rodney his family had warned him, but he never listened. He swear after that day he would never give up on losing the weight not only for his family, but for himself. Rodney knew even though he wanted to lose it for his family.

The following studies are short-term interventions that last for 6 months or below that have looked at the effects that exercise has on body weight and what diet and exercise have on body weight. When these studies have been compared to each other they have found that the combination between diet and exercise have the greatest impact on losing weight. For example, Hagen et al (1986) conducted a study on 48 males and 48 females who were obese and there ages being equal to 36.6 years. The aim of their study was to compare the effects of exercise and caloric restriction for a 12 weeks period. In this procedure they split the males into four groups and the females into four groups. These groups were the same for both males and females. The groups were a Diet and exercise group (DE), Diet group (D), exercise group (E) and the control group (C). Hagen et al (1986) found that there

Through the beginning paragraphs, Belasco helps his readers understand his point by providing examples in which we utilize foods in our daily lives (such as coffee with a potential employer or a casual lunch to catch up with a friend). He also comments about how one of the most overwhelming emotions that surrounds food is anxiety. Although we may not think it, food really does cause major anxieties- from famine, to eating disorders, to obesity and everything in between. Upon trying to explain this concept to readers in simpler terms, Belasco comments on how “we can’t live without food, but food also kills us” (12). Using such straightforward and balanced syntax, it is clear that we live in a world in which the way we decide to portion our food intake determines the way our lives will eventually take course.

My first goal is to help him lose weight. Weight loss is very important. Being overweight increases your risk of health conditions such as heart problems, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. Being overweight can also increase your risk for osteoarthritis (joint disease), sleep apnea (abnormal breathing at night) or other respiratory (breathing) problems. Being overweight may also cause a person to feel sad or be treated differently by others. (2) My second goal is to help Chuck has better nutrition.

The National Nutrition Intake report demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of a certain person's diet. In this project we had to record three consecutive days of what we ate, and all the physical activities we took part in.

The topic I have chosen for my causal essay is the increasing numbers of obese children and/or adults in the US nowadays, which can be found on page 263 in our textbook. This is because the rhythm of life of our society has changed recently, and it manifests itself in exacerbation of many problems that really affect the quality of living of modern people. Our world has never been perfect and very often the things that we believe to be the signs of welfarism of the nation such as an excess of food can cause additional problems. These issues tend to be connected with our health and the thing making them even more dangerous is that their negative consequences arrest our attention only when the problem has reached its climax. The same is true for

Fewer than 1 in 3 adults and an even lower proportion of adolescents eat the recommended amount of vegetables each day. Study shows, compounding this is the fact that most adults (81.6%) and adolescents (81.8%) do not get the recommended amount of physical activity.

I also worked on overall improving my own wellness with more meditation, winding down at night before sleeping, and dumping the processed, unhealthy foods. At the beginning, I thought this would be simple, but as days passed, I soon realized how unhealthy my usual lifestyle is and how much better I was feeling focusing more on my health. From running a mile around the neighborhood to sleeping more at night, I saw an improvement physically and mentally.
