...components of a healthy school nutrition environment. Each one is important and affects the nutrition and physical activity in a child’s school life. Healthy eating and physical activity are essential for students to achieve their full academic and physical potential, mental growth, and lifelong health and well-being. Schools influence students’ eating and physical activity patterns. In a school committed to a healthy nutrition environment, every member of the education team makes nutrition and physical activity top priorities every day. The hectic lifestyle of most families in the United States relies heavily on fast foods and leaves little time for regular physical activity. Such lifestyles have significantly affected the health of our nation’s children. Many students arrive at school with empty stomachs, while others sip sodas and munch on high fat foods and sweets in place of healthier meals and snacks. Such widespread eating patterns are causing serious physical health problems in children, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease risks, and poor bone health—as well as the mental, emotional and social consequences these problems pose. When students are in less than optimum health, their academic performance also suffers. To fight...

...What value do you see in managing your physical and mental health and stress levels? How might these skills relate to academic and personal success? Please elaborate on your response. When something is going on in my life- a paper due for school, an important meeting is coming up at work, I get nervous, I get anxious, and in plain terms, I freak out. I have always been a super high-stressed, high-anxiety person. There was one time, my freshman year of college, I was so nervous for a math exam I broke out in hives! One of the main things that I have learned over the years- from my amazing parents- is that all I have to do is step back from the situation, take a deep breath, and calm down. There is nothing more important than your physical and mental health. Is something is off with someone physically or mentally, there is no way to get anything done. It is of utmost importance to keep your body and mind healthy. For me, before I have a big meeting at work, I take off a bit early and do something for myself- whether its going to the spa and getting a massage or going to get my hair or nails done, I do something that gets my mind off of what I’m worrying about. This keeps my mental health in check, which ultimately keeps my physical being healthier. The way I have learned to keep myself calm and cope with my nervousness throughout the past 2 years has help me further my business by helping me believe in myself- when I’m not nervous and anxious I know that I have the clarity......

...Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is one of the most prevalent issues that needs to be alleviated. Children have to comprehend that if they keep on consuming fattening foods, their chances of developing diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes increases significantly. I am proposing a solution to prevent childhood obesity. The proposal is to spread awareness of this epidemic by educating parents and their children about the dangers of obesity and how to prevent it. Every school should have a mandatory half an hour class that teaches students about eating healthy and the importance of exercising regularly. This proposal is aimed towards elementary school children and their parents. The genre for this piece is a newspaper article. The proposal can be published in magazines, newspaper, internet, and it can even be broadcasted on local channels to increase awareness of this social issue. The readers should be aware of the fact that there is a significant difference between the words overweight and obese. Overweight means that the individual weighs more than normal. On the other hand, obese means that the individual is extremely overweight. The Institute of Medicine states “over the past three decades, the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5 years, and adolescents aged 12-19 years, and it has more than tripled for children aged 6-11 years.” In 2004, about 9 million children over the age of 6 were considered obese. In 2005,......

...I found that today’s class was very interesting because I could relate the topics that were being talk about to my everyday life experiences. Here are the topics that were relatable: ambiguous figures-they are basically any stimulus which can be perceived in more than one way. For me in life we are filled ambiguous figures from understanding the society in which we live in today to being two faced about who we really are. The society we live in today is filled with illusions that captures our gifted minds to simply closet the truth from us. For instance, when I was vacationing in the Bahamas I met this girl, who I got to chance to talk because we were staying at the same hotel, Atlantis. She was really funny so we started to hang out together, we had a lot of fun until I discovered from one her friends that she’s transgender. I was extremely shocked because she didn’t not look like a boy to me until I looked closely at her features and saw some boy like qualities, up to this day I still can’t believe it. Positive psychology was one of my favourite topics because I am a very optimistic person. When thinking of positive psychology just ask yourself what makes an individual emotionally healthy, happy and is it effective? Laughing makes me happy, I’m that type of person that can’t go an hour without finding humour in something that interest me. To keep my witty personality on track I like to watch the Kevin hart show and ridiculousness on MTV because it’s like I’m on cloud 9......

Targeting unhealthy behaviours depends upon a number of factors since the health practitioner needs to take into account the beliefs, the intensity of the unhealthy behaviour, an individual’s readiness to change in order to design an appropriate intervention to help the individuals understand the risks of that particular behaviour thereby inducing change. Using alcohol consumption as a health related behavior, brief interventions for this behaviour have been explained, this is mainly due to the large success of brief interventions. Thus this essay critically discusses examples of brief interventions in order determine what contributes to a successful intervention.

...Wedding Dress Helen T. Farrar Professor Mary Combs Physical Fitness & Health Baltimore City Community College DYING TO FIT IN TO THAT WEDDING DRESS Abstract Dieting has been a fad for the past few years. People tend to focus on the most popular diets are the ones being flaunted around by celebrities. Women have always tended to go dress crazy when planning their weddings. Women wait until the last minute to want to lose weight before getting a wedding dress. No one seems to do it the healthy way. Exercising would guarantee a normal healthy weight loss before a wedding. DYING TO FIT IN TO THAT WEDDING DRESS Dying to Fit into that Wedding Dress Brides are starting to go on crash diets before tying the knot.

In chapter 5, it discusses how 66 percent of adults in America are overweight. People aren’t working out nor are they eating healthy. A lot of people tend to not be happy within to change anything. I often wonder if most women only consider losing weight when it comes to only looking good. You never hear about anyone really wanting to lose weight because of health issues. In the article, Bridal Hunger Games, they discuss a woman names......

...Family Health Nursing Nur 464 – Concepts of Family Nursing Theory October 6, 2005 Family Health Nursing Nursing has been an integral part of patient care forever, though not considered as a part of medical profession in the early days. Nursing care has evolved from the time of nursing pioneers like Florence Nightingale and Dorothea Orem to today’s health care environment where, health care system has become more complex and fragmented with specializations. The growth of sophisticated medical technology has further changed nurses’ roles in taking nursing care to nursing profession. Today’s nurses have to focus on the psychosocial and physiological environment of a client along with the physical aspect of care. Individual’s personal circumstances play a very important role on their overall health and welfare. Family environment, family values, economic and financial support and education or knowledge base are few important factors that contribute in making individuals react. To provide optimal care, the patient has to be treated as a whole. Patients family should be included ‘as client’ rather than the background for care. What is an ideal family? There are multiple definitions of family. One definition according to The Bureau of the Census is, “two or more persons who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption and who live together as one household” (U.S.Census Bureau, 2005). Another definition of family is “two or more......
