...Final Project: Personal Nutrition Exercise Plan SCI/241 June 17, 2012 Tara Deters Final Project: Personal Nutrition Exercise Plan Over the last several weeks I have analyzed my current diet and exercise habits, as well as reading up on the USDA Food Pyramid Guide and their exercise recommendations. I have taken what I've learned in this class and what I have learned by doing a little research and I was able to personalize a nutrition, diet, and exercise plan for myself. For starters, I will need to take a good look at my current habits and that affect my nutrition and exercise plan. I like to believe I eat pretty healthy, but there is always room in improve. I'm not big on candy or sweets. I also have a hate for milk, so I only drink milk when I eat cereal, and milk is a needed for calcium and vitamin D. I love the sun so I tend to believe I get enough vitamin D from the sun. My diet consist of chicken, salad, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Since I have an office job and the only time that I have to actually get away is during my lunch hour, so I'm not very active at work, so that kill eight hour of my day right there. I like to ride bikes and take walks, and every now and again I will roller blade. I can honestly say that I haven't been doing too much of any of this, as it's been pretty busy for me. These activities I do take part in aren't really stimulating, and my heart rate is raising much, because I do it at my pace not as if I'm racing...

...[pic] Personal Exercise Program Name: Katayoon Khoshragham Writing a Personal Exercise Program Before we start exercising or trying to improve our level of fitness we must make sure that we are at a reasonable level of fitness to start. If you have not exercised for a while, had children or have suffered from an illness, you must seek medical advice before you start on a fitness/training program. 1. Why must you seek medical advice before you start training/exercising? Because, exercising is a physically intensive activity and you would have high heart beat rates, excessive sweating, tiredness etc. Some people who are weak or having cardiac illness etc may not be able to work out effectively.

...Personalized Nutrition 1 Personalized Nutrition and Exercise Plan Personalized Nutrition 2 Introduction Obesity has been a health problem in my family for generations. My great grandparents died before I ever had a chance to personally meet them but the pictures I have seen indicate that they both were obese. According to the WebMD body mass index for adults, my mother, her two brothers (my uncles), and her sister (my aunt), are all extremely overweight and considered obese in regards to their age, height and weight. My father left my mother when I was very young so I am unaware of any health or nutrition problems that concern me in regards to my father’s family history. My grandmother died of Coronary heart disease, which is an obesity related medical condition that develops when a combination of fatty material, calcium, and plaque builds up in the arteries that supply the heart with blood. My mother and my aunt both have constant lower back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. They both have had wrist and back surgery in order to relieve the pain/ fix the problem, but the doctor told them that their weight was the main issue. My uncles complain that their knees and back bother them all the time, and even though I am not a doctor, I know it is because they both weigh around 300 pounds.

...Nutrition and Fitness Adrienne Ferrara SCI 100 December 3, 2012 Laura Peters Nutrition and Fitness Nutrition and physical exercise are essential to living a healthy lifestyle. Each is valuable but together provide the most benefits. Consuming the right amount of nutrients can improve your physical performance, and exercise can help our bodies to use these nutrients resourcefully. This paper will discuss my current fitness and nutritional habits, explain the dangers of obesity, and identify new fitness and nutritional habits that I can incorporate into my lifestyle. I would consider my current fitness to be above average. Ever since I was in grade school I’ve always participated in a team sport and as I grew older, I’ve made a continuous effort to exercise 4 to 5 times a week. As for my eating habits, I don’t always eat as well as I should, but I am putting in more effort now than ever before to make better nutritious decisions. Obesity is the result of an excessive high amount of body fat. BMI (Body Mass Index) does not directly measure body fat but relates with the amount of body fat. When determining obesity, it is vital to consider fat distribution throughout the body, and body fat deposits. Obesity is a complex health issue because there are many different factors that play a part in obesity (Donatelle, "Chapter 9, Managing Your Weight, Overweight or Obese?," 2010). Obese people have a higher chance of developing gallstones, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes...

...Why is this generation so unhealthy? What is the reason for the insane amount of overweight young adults today? The obesity epidemic is directly affecting young people in America today. This generation is the first to experience growing up with it being “normal” to be overweight because it has become so common. American’s lifestyle has changed and so has eating habits. Many know what needs to be done: eat healthy and exercise. But it can be more difficult than just that. Educating people about how and what to eat plays an important role in this.

Obesity has become cone of the nations most widespread epidemics and it continues to grow. In this study 20 peer-reviewed articles were chosen on obesity and nutrition, and then the articles were analyzed and broken down into a basic concept of obesity prevention.

...concerned with the quality of life and prevention of many health diseases, life expectancy will continue to gradually increase. One popular approach to increasing awareness about healthy lifestyles includes the focus on maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle and living actively to ensure the human body is strong in every sense. More companies and businesses have started offering healthy alternatives to their product lines to remain competitive with the growing health awareness trends of most consumers. However, one aspect of healthy living which is just as important as healthy eating or awareness is the personal one-on-one guidance when concerning making the right food choices and fitness activities that individuals need. This industry has not been widely accepted or positively viewed as affordable and necessary. Lifestyle Fitness-Who We Are and What We Do From my personal experiences, it is important to have a support team in place before making a lifestyle change. Not only will individuals be faced with food temptations, but they will also find reasons why they cannot go to the gym or participate in other physical activity. People find it easier to stop doing something when there is no one there to...
