...healthier weight. The issue is that his father believes he does not eat a healthy diet and I disagree with this. His father only sees and spends time with our son every other weekend and assumes that the diet I feed him is full of fast food and candy. I spend every day with my son and almost the 2 days every other weekend that he is with his father and know that he does eat a healthy diet that I prepare for him. The way that I distinguish what is a problem and what is an issue in this situation is by thinking about the main thing we both agree on and what we disagree on to some extent. In this situation the main thing we both agree on is that my son could be at a healthier weight, this is the problem. Something we disagree on to some extent is weather my son is eating a healthy diet, this is the issue. Another way is to ask myself the following questions to determine whether it was a problem or an issue. If the answers to these questions are yes then the subject is an issue and not a problem. If not, then it is a problem and not an issue. Does the subject arouse partisan feelings? Does it divide informed and intelligent people on the subject? Does it provoke considerable disagreement, between one or more parties? The way I would express the problem in this situation would be how can we help our son to reach a healthier weight? The way I would express the issue would be is our son’s diet healthy? The difference in the way I expressed both of this is...

...A Healthy Life Brooke Williams Sci163 Kristina Worthington May 27, 2014 A Healthy Life Health and wellness is an important part of everyday life and it includes fitness and nutrition, preventing chronic disease, environmental awareness, and protecting your immune system. There are many ways that each of the topics can affect your life and the way you live it. The knowledge of these can give way to a more healthy life. Wellness is much more than merely physical health, exercise or nutrition. It is the full integration of states of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The model used by our campus includes social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual and physical wellness. Each of the seven dimensions act and interact in a way that contributes to our own quality of life. There are many ways to implement them all into our everyday society but the three in particular that I would give more focus and put emphasis on would be environmental, emotional, and intellectual. Emotional wellness implies the ability to be aware of and accept our feelings rather than deny them, have an optimistic approach to life, express feelings freely and manage feelings effectively, express emotions appropriately, adjust to change, cope with stress in a healthy way, and enjoy life despite its occasional disappointments and frustrations. Emotional includes the “capacity to manage one’s feelings and related behaviors including the realistic assessment of one’s limitations...

...is. Any foods that are less than five percent of daily value, or DV, is considered to be unhealthy. Foods with a low DV include saturated fat, cholesterol, and also total fat. Foods with a higher daily value are healthy to intake at the right proportions. These foods offer more nutrients to our bodies as they include fiber, vitamins, iron, and calcium. My family is big on Nutella. I know its an alternative to peanut butter, and assumed it was healthy until of course I read the label earlier. Nutella has only four grams of protein and one gram of fiber, both of which fall under the daily value suggestion of staying above five percent. However, iron, Vitamin A & C, and calcium make up for the lack of nutrition in the previous areas although I am not sure if it counts as being healthy in general. Looking at various nutritional facts about food I regularly eat made me realize I do not always make the best choices in my eating habits. Reading these labels is important because they inform us of what we are putting into out bodies, and can help us choose something that is similar but is healthier. I know that people who diet are constantly looking at the labels on their food to see how many calories it may have or just too simply check the daily value. This is a good way to keep track of your calorie, fat, and protein intake. I also noticed that many fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s now includes nutritional facts on their burgers and fries. Each Nutritional Food label...

...not just about the game itself, but a benefit in every aspect of life. Live life to the fullest, try new things, and enjoy every moment. Health is one of the most important aspects of any sport. Staying physically fit as a teenager/ young adult is a priority to living a long healthy life. In the Harlan Community High School, a student must have a semester of physical education; however, they can bypass this by being involved in a full semester of sports. Athletes put in hours and hours of physical activity every week. Being physically fit is not only just about working out though. Eating healthy can make you that much more of a powerful athlete. Protein, fruits, and vegetables can help keep the body full of energy and power longer than any energy drink or power bar. Sports also increase your metabolism rates so you can eat more to keep your energy up. Having a high metabolisms allows your body to take in more food without gaining much weight. Your cardiovascular system will also be stronger from workouts and conditioning. Exercise can strengthen the pumping muscles in your heart, expand your red blood cells, and increases your bodies ability to remove waste. It also improves the performance of your respiratory system. Sports can help you stay motivated to be healthy for the rest of your life. Coordination is key. Any sport requires a lot of hand-eye coordination....

The older a person gets the more problems they have with respiratory/circulatory systems, they have more constipation, they lose bone mass, they lose strength in their muscles, they get drier skin, their skin becomes loose, their hair begins to fall out, and they begin to have less sensitivity to sensory modalities like taste, touch, hearing, and vision (Cliff notes, 2000-2012). Health and fitness affect aging in many ways. The healthier a person eats and the more exercise they do the better shape their body will be in. Staying healthy and active can delay the aging process. Having a poor diet and lack of exercise can make a person age quicker and it does more harm to the body than good. Eating cheeseburgers while sitting on the couch and smoking a cigarette is not going to keep a person’s body healthy....

...Katrina Phillips University of Phoenix Management and Leadership Paper October 24, 2011 When we think about what a leader and manager is, most of us will use the same meaning. But in actual fact this is incorrect. We have to look at these two terms differently. What is a manager? A manager is someone who is responsible for directing and controlling the work and staff of a business, or of a department within the organization. So what is a leader? A leader is someone whom people follow, somebody who guides or directs others. Looking at both terms they both are very different. The question is always asked is a manager can be a leader and leader a manager. The true answer is managers are not always leaders, while leaders can be managers. To understand the two is to understand the difference between the two roles in a company and how they both operate. Managers are given a manager’s position in an organization, but leaders gain the power through their skills to empower and motivate others. They implement others ideas and encourage them to follow their ambitions and responsibilities. According to "What Is The Difference Between Management And Leadership?." (2011), “The manager administers; the leader innovates.” Investigating the difference and similarities between management and leadership one should understand how they both operate with the organization. One should also look at how they create and maintain different cultures within the organization. Furthermore one should...

The public needs to know that we can have a voice in the way are children are fed at school with a healthy breakfast and lunch. The Public Needs to know Our goal is to improve the nutrition and health in breakfast and lunch programs in schools today. The children need better choices in eating healthy. We should be able to provide them with the tools they need for success in life. I believe that staying fit and healthy is the backbone for our children’s future. The economic issues we are faced with are that it cost more monies to eat healthier and it’s time consuming doing the research in finding ways to make it less cost efficient. We have to change our budgeting around in order to meet the heath needs. Our kids are worth more than anything so we should show them that by putting their health first in our budget. Everyone is looking for the easy way out. We can be healthy as well as cost effective at the same time. There are special needs for our children and they come with guidelines.

...the importance of good health. Health, as they say, is wealth. Good health is necessary to carry out daily tasks. When discussing healthy, many people would consider the condition of their bodies and forget about the condition of their minds. However, health is not only about alleviating and being free from physical aspects of health. It also means being healthy in mind too. An unhealthy mind results in an unhealthy body. Good mental health helps you to make the most of life and enjoy it. Good mental health offers you a feeling of well-being and the inner strength needed in times of trouble or unrest. Everyone knows how to care for their bodies. This is done almost every day by the majority of people. Exercise and eating the proper foods are the best ways of keeping the body healthy. But, how does one keep the mind healthy? A healthy mind requires a lot of work, as well as, a combination of the right foods and exercise. Most often, the food consumed has a pivotal effect on the body, as well as, the mind. A healthy diet consists of the right food groups with right number of calories. It does not contain an excess of sugar, salt, fat and alcohol. Selecting the right foods that provide energy helps the body to be healthy. This also helps the mind. An energized person is a happy person. Happiness is a state of mind. Without proper energy, a person can become angry, tired and sad. These are not good for the mind.

...Entrepreneurship My entrepreneurial idea is to start a small limited liability corporation (LLC) that pertains to health and fitness for baby boomers, age 50 and older that work 60 to 80 hours a week. Baby boomers enjoy looking good, being social and staying healthy. The target consumer for our device would be the vast group of baby boomers that work 60 to 80 hours per week. My idea for a product is a wearable device, in many configurations, that helps baby boomers stay aware of what their bodies are doing throughout the day. Besides being able to tell time, this device will monitor heart rate, pulse, body temperature, calories burned, navigation as well as being able to connect with one another with voice-to-text and phone calls. Since baby boomers are the target market, my business will be pertaining to products that they could use to help them stay social and stay healthy. Baby boomers are usually overwhelmed by fast growing technology; therefore the user interface will be simple so that the learning curve is small and they can set it up then go back to enjoying their everyday routine. The wearable device will be able to tell time, and monitor most body vital signs. Many baby boomers like to know their vital signs and how much activity, walking, running, distance they have traveled. Instead of manually checking vitals, the device will be able to display them right away since it constantly updates. They will also get alerts when their vitals are off. Baby boomers are...
