My family has a history of diabetes, cancer, heart disease and lung disease. Obesity is a major cause of all of these problems. If I change my diet and exercise pattern now then I have a chance of lowering my risk of getting these diseases from my life. My new exercise and diet are only going tio be the beginning for me. I plan on living a much healthier and fulfilling life.
Benefits of Weight Training in Today’s Society Today’s society and possibly always people have had an obsession with body image. Ironically the American population is in an epidemic due to obesity rates and poor health related to diet and exercise. One simple solution to this problem along with proper diet and exercise is resistance or weight training. Not only is this an answer to our obesity problem, it also benefits our society in a voluminous number of ways. In an unfeasible attempt I will try to cover the extraordinary number of benefits of weight training within this paper.
Delores jefferson 04/05/2014 SCI/241 Shelba Levins Individual Goal Statement My current health status is intermediate. I currently have diabetes, knee problems, and am overweight. I have lost some weight which has helped improve my knee problems and weight; however, nutrient intake plays a major part in this process. My nutrient intake will determine the outcome of my diabetes as there are certain foods that I cannot eat and others I must limit my intake. Monitoring my nutrient intake will also assist with weight loss which will improve the issues that I have with my knees.
While doing my Nutrition Analysis Assessment, I’ve learned a lot about myself. I always thought that my diet was average and that i consumed the correct amount of calories, vitamins and minerals from each food groups. Apparently i was wrong, from looking over my 3 day assessment, i recorded my food in take, quantities, drinks, snacks, condiments, mood, where and who i was with during meal, time of day and time spent eating. My eating habits are not the best and could lead to serious health problems in the future that may be detrimental. it was recommended that my calorie in take should be based on a 1800 calorie diet with at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day from www.mypryramid.gov .
I have learned in JROTC that as a leader if I show my subordinates the values that I have such as respect, loyalty, integrity, honor, duty, selfless service and personal courage, then they will respond in the similar fashion. JROTC prepares me for the future by allowing me to gain these skills. In addition, JROTC helps me to have a higher self-esteem while also informing me of healthy lifestyles. It teaches me to build self-esteem by improving my strength and mind. During physical training, I gain strength and learn more about how to maintain healthy lifestyles.
Personalized Nutrition and Exercise Plan SCI/241 Keeping a healthy diet and exercise is important for our overall health in our lives. Getting a balanced diet can ensure that we get the vitamins that we need, as well as maintain a healthy weight along with exercise, which can also ensure that we have healthy organs. With doing so, and focusing on the problems that we need to work on, or that could potentially come up, we can ensure that we get the right diet and exercise to ensure a healthier prolonged life span. I have been vulnerable to being anemic. Anemia is when the body is producing a low level of red blood cells.

Our genetic makeup affects an extensive range of chemical functions in our body and may affect your weight in various ways including your metabolism, hormones and body fat disposition. While there is widespread acceptance that hereditary factors might predispose to human obesity, it is frequently assumed that such factors would influence metabolic rate or the selective partitioning of excess calories into fat. However, it is notable that, thus far, all monogenic defects causing human obesity actually disrupt hypothalamic pathways and have a profound effect on satiety and food intake. To conclude, the evidence we have to date suggests that the major impact of genes on human obesity is just as likely (or perhaps more likely) to directly impact on hunger, satiety and food intake rather than metabolic rate or nutrient partitioning. At the risk of oversimplification, it seems that from an aetiological/genetic standpoint, human obesity appears less a metabolic than a neuro-behavioural disease.
Everything is becoming more fast pace, mechanized and technology based. With this in mind, the nutrition status for middle and low-income families have an increase in consumption of animal fat, refined grains and added sugar due to more production of highly processed foods to save time and money for companies (Gortmaker et al., 2011). It is important to stay up-to-date with the trends of obesity, but with the increasing rates is has become a high pubic health priority to prevent obesity (Penman & Johnson, 2009). Policies have been placed that increase taxes for unhealthy food, but this still makes it hard on lower income families who are still not able to afford healthier foods but instead are forced to buy unhealthy alternatives. Necessary alternative include a change in individual behavior and increase in education for people to understand the benefits and risk of obesity and how they can change.
When a doctor provides medication for obesity, should childhood obesity then be labeled as a disease if it can be prevented? The facts show that due to environmental and genetics obesity can be prevented if parental guidance is evident and exercise is utilized properly. Childhood obesity is a serious growing problem in our nation. If people had the facts of obesity, eat healthier, and made time to exercise efficiently one could live a longer, happier, and healthy life. “Our children are our future.” Childhood obesity will continue to influence the next few generations with knowledge of the BMI criteria associated health issues with the now called disease America could live a healthier happy life.
