Always remember to take care of yourself and manage your stress. Don't overwork yourself and keep track of what you do and eat so that you can try to be healthy. Keep your hygiene and body clean too.
The most important thing to keep is yourself. Your well-being is crucial for you to live a long life. Eating fruits, vegetables, and drinking water is also healthy for you.
Eat healthy foods and maintain your health. The three types of wellness is physical, mental, and social. It's important to keep your wellness intact. Especially when keeping healthy relationships and friendships.
Your Well-being
Module 1
There are many ways to keep yourself going in life, and one of them is being physically well. If you don't exercise regularly throughout your life, than your body wouldn't function correctly and your mental health could get messed up. But if you do, you get to live longer, be healthy, improve sleep, and more beneficial things. By being physically well means that you take authority over your health.
Throughout life, you'd want to complete your goals to live the right life. One method to use is the SMART method, which means, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-related. Your goal can be short or long term. This method can help you to not procrastinate and allows you to focus on the important things. If you're having trouble getting more sleep you can use the SMART method. For example, I will get more sleep by managing my time better and focusing on important things.
Being Active and Thinking Smartly
Module 2
Then you would take steps and use resources to make your goal come true. Even if the goal is long term, you're bound to complete it one day or another.
A few components of physical wellness is physical activity. The 5 topics related to it are, body fat composition, flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance. All of these can help you with your physical activity and your health.
Flexibility training is the ability of your joint to move through a full range of motion (ROM). One thing that people use while working out is a self-myofascial release (SMR). It helps to release the tension in their muscles. There is also static and dynamic stretching. Static stretching is focused on tight muscles while dynamic stretching is used before an athletic activity on a certain muscle group.
Your health and the way you plan it is important. That's why there are three types of training to help your body to be healthy. The three types are, resistance, cardiovascular, and flexibility. Resistance training takes place in weights. It helps with your muscle fitness and can help you with gaining muscles. An example is weight training.
Your fitness level is assessed in flexibility, muscular strength, endurance, and aerobic fitness. These factors help you know if you've improved. or not.
Health and Fitness
Lastly, the principles of fitness will help you to work your way through your fitness plan. The four principles are FITT (which stands for frequency, intensity, time and type), overload, progression, and specificity
Module 3
Cardiovascular, or cardio, training is where your body has the ability to deliver oxygen and blood to the muscles. There are also different intensities in cardio, low, medium, and high. It is based on your maximum heart rate. The different types of training in cardio are aerobic and anaerobic interval training. Aerobic interval training is high intensity training with an interval of a low intensity training. Anaerobic is the opposite of aerobic but it is done with 85%-100% of your heart rate.
Your fitness is important to track since it shows whether you made or lost progress. The objective assessments are unbiased physical aspects of your health. They are, resting heart rate, body mass index, circumference measurements, blood pressure, and weight.
Deciding on what physical activity to do, you have to consider your environment, resources, and your health. Your personality/attitude is important since I don't think you would want to be doing an activity you hate. You'd also want to consider your reason to participate in the activity because if you're stressed, then you shouldn't be doing a highly competitive activity.
Calories and Physical Activity
An important concept in your fitness is a caloric balance. It is a comparison between how many calories you consume and how many calories you burn. Calories can be burned two different ways, and the number of calories you burn each day is called the basal metabolic rate. The first way you burn calories are by digesting food, creating new cells, etc. The second way is by physical activity. When we consume calories, it gets converted into energy. This process is called metabolism.
Module 4
Weather is an important consideration when exercising. You wouldn't want to have heatstroke or hypothermia. If you start to experience any symptoms such as , a swollen tongue, feeling dizzy, and a rapid heart rate, you should seek help.
Being physically, mentally/emotionally, and socially well can impact our lives in a positive way. There are also benefits such as, living longer, improved/better sleep, reduced depression, and healthier/stronger bones. Your total wellness is important for how you live your everyday life.
Your Body and Overall Wellness
There is also a thing called body composition. It represents the water, bone, fat, and muscle percentages, in your body. An example of a healthy body composition is a percentage of body fat that's low and a high percentage of fat-free mass. A couple of factors that influence body composition are, caloric balance, metabolism, being active/inactive, and eating habits.
Module 5
Some common injuries when exercising are, muscle strains, shin splits, blisters, and muscle sprains. When you experience symptoms of muscle strains, (such as sudden pain and soreness) your doctor would usually recommend the RICE method. The RICE method stands for, rest, ice, compression, elevation.
Different body types means different healthy weights. Everyone comes in different shapes and sizes, but the three types are ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph. These are all categorized based off your muscle mass, body fat, and bone size. Ectomorph has a small, but long and slender body type. Endomorph is a large, soft, pear-shaped body. Lastly, mesomorph has the muscular, large boned-shape physique, and a solid body type.
One thing to be careful of when exercising is injuries. Before any physical activity, you should do a warm up to prevent any injuries. It's also important to take a break/cool down and drink a fluid every 20 minutes.
Choosing the right and wrong foods can affect your body and health. In order to make the right dietary choices, the calorie intake should be 10-35% for proteins, 45-65% for carbs, and 20-35% for fat. Types of foods you would want to avoid are foods that have empty calories. Foods such as fast food, frozen pizza, and soda are bad. Unfortunately society can also factor in with obesity. Society can influence others to buy their fast food or get their candy. You should also portion your foods in a good way so that you're getting all the nutrients you need.
Your relationship with food begins once you start to eat solid food. The way the food tastes, smells, feel, and the texture of it will affect your relationship with it, for the rest of your life. But as you move onto life, things will change and your relationship with food may not always be the same.
Food and Nutrition
Module 7
Eating too much food can cause obesity. It is where your weight is 20% higher than usual and when there is an excessive storage of fat in the body. Lack of physical activity, genetics, and a poor diet can lead to obesity. Some issues can be excess cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure.
Fad diets, the diet that restricts certain foods to make you lose weight in an unhealthy way. A couple of risks for it are dehydration, fatigue, nausea, and weakness. Some examples are the tapeworm diet which requires you to eat a tapeworm so that it eats the food you consume, and keto which is a high-fat diet with very low carb intake.
