P1/M1 Lifestyle factors and their effects on health Lifestyle factors that can affect health are physical activity, alcohol, smoking, stress and diet. Physical Activity Physical activity is any movement or activity that requires your body to work harder than it does while sitting, or resting. Physical activity can affect health in a good way. Benefits of physical activity are it lowers the risk of heart attacks because exercise makes the heart bigger and stronger meaning it doesn't have to work as hard which puts less stress on the body. It increases aerobic endurance which is good because it means exercise can be done for longer and the heart can be further strengthened.
Also the ability of the body healing itself without medicine is improved. Health If you lead a healthy lifestyle it can have a massive affect on your health.

Creatine helps your cells retain water, which is good for performance. This can, however, give you a higher body weight; this is why fighters and other weight-class athletes may need to cycle off creatine from time to time. Creatine is safe for teenagers and it's also effective. Research suggests that creatine improves strength and performance in teenagers who were already in shape and highly-trained for their sport.

The Three Elements of Fitness If you've ever watched kids on a playground, you've seen the three elements of fitness in action when they: run away from the kid who's "it" (endurance) cross the monkey bars (strength) bend down to tie their shoes (flexibility) Parents should encourage their kids to do a variety of activities so that they can work on all three elements. (http://kidshealth.org/parent/nutrition_center/staying_fit/exercise.html# ) However if children do aerobic exercise then the heart can beat faster and the child wild breathe harder. So if the child has done exercise for a long period of time then the aerobic activity can strengthen the heart and improves the body’s ability that can deliver oxygen to all the child’s cells.
This decrease in muscle breakdown and lower recovery time permits more frequent training sessions at higher intensity and for longer periods of time. Another benefit is the increased aggressiveness they are believed to simulate, also noted as enhanced athletic performance. This increased aggressiveness may drive athletes to train harder and longer without the usual fatigue (Entine, 2000). Other positive effects of using steroids are increases in; storage of muscle glycogen, blood volume, a general increase of the immune system, and the reduction of body fat percentage. The effects are maintained as long as the athlete continues the steroid
In the short term physical activity helps childrens muscle to develop and allows their heart and lungs to function correctly. It is healthy for a child to have at least one hour a day of physical activity, this will then lead to a healthy sleeping routine. Long term benefits will be that a child who has regular physical activity will go on to have a healthier and in some cases a longer life. For example: A chlid who has regular physical activity will be more energetic and will respond well to being introduced to take part in sports and dancing activities which will also allow them to develop socially and emotionally by interacting with other children; whereas a child who does not have physical activity in their life would rather play computer games or simply just watch tv and not be interesting in socialising with other children. Physical activity is one of this first steps which a parent will take to beging building a relationship with their child.
