Nutritiional Plan/Physical Activity Plan
Nutritional Revert I am typically somewhat healthy; I try to eat right and workout several times a week. I feel as though I get plenty of physical activity, but maybe by nutritional diet is not as good as I thought. I feel as though I have reverted back to old habits of skipping meal, making poor eating habits, and not eating enough from every food group. I need to develop a system to make sure I am eating properly, working out regularly, and then able to pass these habits off to my children. Nutritional traits are not genetic, but they can be learned. So the habits that you have can essentially effect your children’s health now and their future. If you do not want your children to have the same eating habits that you have or the same weight problems that you suffer from then changing the way that you eat and the amount of physical activity that you receive can change your children’s future health problems as well as their learned nutritional habits. My children do have a set example of the amount of physical activity a person should receive. My husband and I both workout several times a week. However, our eating habits could be questioned. I have always been under the assumption that home cooked meals were the healthy way to go, and not to eat out. My family does not eat out except maybe once a week if that. We eat every meal at home; even our lunches are leftovers from the night before or just packed items from home. My assumption was that we were healthy eaters since we do not eat out or eat sweets. However, after reviewing results from my past week on the SuperTracker I have come to realize that I not only do not consume enough calories in a day, but I do not meet the required amount of daily values from each nutrient source. I lack on eating fruit and vegetables all together, but I also was not consuming enough protein or dairy. The only nutrient that I receive enough of and even receive more than what is needed are grains. During my week one tracking I

    At my house there was always an emphasis on nutritional health. From an early age I had a vast amount of knowledge about which foods to eat and which to avoid. My dad is very particular about the food we eat. He puts a lot of emphasis on eating healthy and makes us eat lots of fruits and vegetables, even if we don’t like it. Often we would grow our own produce in our yard so my mom could use fresh vegetables and herbs in her cooking. Although…

    One can easily agree that it is imperative for a child’s diet to remain hearty but, everyone has a story. Zinczenko points out that when he went to college then joined the Navy Reserves, he managed his diet. Not everyone has the ability to do that. Yes, most, but not everyone.

    High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a disease that runs in my family. High blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body. High blood pressure does not mean excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension or stress can temporarily increase blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is called "pre-hypertension", and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high. While hypertension is not a current health problem for me, I am worried it may become one for me or my children in the future due to the family history. I know a healthy diet and exercise plan is the best way to protect myself from getting the disease. Other factors that can contribute to hypertension are; smoking, and stress, both of which are things I need to get under control for my future health.…

    “48 and Overweight.” This may sound like the title to a new reality television show, but the true reality is that this is my current life status. Thanks to eating and drinking too much of the wrong things and leading a mostly sedentary lifestyle, I found myself weighing 215 pounds, which is 50 pounds heavier than my target weight. I currently experience pain in my knees for the first time in my life, and become winded quite easily while doing minimally strenuous activities. I was always an active child, teenager, and adult, and was mostly underweight most of my life. When I turned 40, my weight increased at a rapid pace, and…

Not only will you feel great, but you will look great as well. 8 weeks ago I conducted a 3-day diet analysis and I discovered that my nutritional habits have drastically changed since then. I have made key changes that will have life-long benefits that will lower my risk of all types of diseases and sickness recorded by my SuperTracker. I also analyzed my diet and exercise results and identified a current nutritional need I am experiencing and a health nutrition problem I can foresee experiencing because of traits from my family history.

    As a child I would always place myself in the overweight category. I generally found it very difficult to eat real food I would always find myself snacking away on junk food when I was hungry.

It was my years of playing league that made me distinguish that maybe I was doing something wrong; that is the reason I gained weight gradually in comparison to my other team mates.…

    Children are facing chronic health problems that should not occur for years or decades. Another matter is that even though children are overweight, and their caloric intake is excessive, they are not necessarily well nourished. They are often not getting enough calcium, vitamins, and fiber because many of them do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. Parents need to look at their own eating habits. You cannot expect your children to learn good eating habits if you do not have them yourself. Eating habits are learned. Now your children need to relearn good ones. This can not make parents popular, but it about health not popularity. Keep in mind, one out of every four children is overweight. This is an opportunity to make changes. You need to make changes slowly. Pick one habit you want to change every month, but take your time. Kids take a long time to make changes. Think about what you are going to change next month, for example, one night a week, do not have dessert, have fruit. Get your kids involved, you will win on several fronts here. It is time for parents and kids to catch up, gives the parents help after a busy day, and important, kids will eat more of what they prepared. Sadly, fewer and fewer families eat meals together.
