My Health/Nutrition Target
My nutritional health has been a very important part of my life since 2001 when I discovered I have Crohn’s disease. The food I consume affects my life in serious and immediate ways. Throughout this course I have learned various ways to help improve my dieting and better my overall health with different foods, ways of cooking foods, and supplements to help provide nutrients my body needs. Having Crohn’s disease can often make eating fruits and vegetable very painful. Although I have a chronic illness, I plan to find a pain free way to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and

Fruits such as grapes, oranges, and pineapples have a pulp texture which causes extreme pain for me during digestion. Fruits such as bananas and peaches are less painful, so I plan to identify more fruits like these to incorporate in my diet. I have had pleasant experiences with fruit yogurt cups and V8 Fusion in the past, so I plan to use these to meet my appropriate fruit intake. For my exercise goals I’ll begin by bike riding two to three times a week. I’ll also play a few games of basketball once in a while to add variety to the ways I am getting a good cardiovascular exercise. On my job I am actively moving or walking for about 3 to 4 hours a day, but that doesn’t get my heart rate elevated enough to be considered a vigorous workout. Secondly, continuing my current workout plan of weight lifting, pushups, and sit ups is fundamental for muscle growth and maintaining a consistent weight. Having difficulties with digestion is difficult to maintain a consistent weight, so identifying and maintaining a workout regimen and proper dieting will help regulate my weight.
Anticipated Setbacks Towards Meeting My Goals Maintaining my weight may be offset by consuming large amounts of whole milk on a regular basis. According to "Fitday" (2011), “Whole milk contains approximately 8 grams of fat per 8 ounce glass. Five of the fat grams come from

Throughout this paper you will find that it is going to be discussing many things. Some of those things are to describe a current health problem or nutritional need that I may be experiencing, four nutritional or physical exercise goals, the actions taken to meet each goal, the anticipated setbacks or difficulties and the approaches to overcome them, the outcomes by which to measure success, evidence of the plans effectiveness by addressing the identified problem or need, and the evaluation of potential health risks that may develop if the plan is not implemented. So basically this paper is going to be about a realistic nutrition and exercise plan that best suits me.
My Fitness goals are to decrease my resting heart rate, become more toned muscularly, become faster,touch my toes, run for longer distances and squat more weight. I would like to accomplish these goals so I can be a better athlete and feel better about myself.
Some of the risks are getting cancer from the inhaling Malathion once it is airborne. You also have the factor of it getting on our children, especially out toddlers. We have the largest corn field in the county right behind the middle school. What about that? Tests have shown that Malathion case cause Asthma, trouble breathing and shortness of breath. I believe it is too much of a danger for our families and the members of this community. We must find another pesticide to use for our crops.
Switching from the expensive oil to alternative fuels has moved from a dream to reality. Today, there are dozens of alternatives to oil that are currently available us to be used. One alternative to oil that is being used more today is ethanol. Derived from plant materials, ethanol can be a cheaper, cleaner alternative to the gasoline that our vehicles run off. When going to gas pumps, one will notice that much of the gasoline is up to 10 percent of ethanol. According to our text, most ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn, yet ethanol can be made from any biomes-- including garbage. (Turk & Bensel, 2011)
Natural disasters occurring from the climate change could be on the rise. Global warming has been rumored to be causing more hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, heavier monsoonal rains that cause major flooding, mud slides, and other disasters worldwide. A tropical cyclone, also referred to as hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones, depending on where in the world the cyclone is occurring, are one of the world’s grandest shows of energy provided by nature. Hurricanes are large, swirling, low pressure storms that have sustained winds of over 74 miles an hour and are formed over warm ocean waters (NASA, n.d.). The purpose of this paper is to discuss hurricanes
Since the 1970s, calorie intake from all of these liquids have increased dramatically, contributing somewhere in the neighborhood of 150-300 extra calories per day. Unless you increase your activity or eat less, that many calories adds up to an extra pound of body fat every 20 days or so. Milk is about the only source of liquid calories that has decreased in the last 30 years.

The goal I chose is to live a healthy lifestyle which in terms will add years to my life. In this transformation I chose to eat healthier, exercise more, drink plenty water and add supplements to my personal wellness plan. I will devote a significant amount of time to each area of this wellness plan over the next eight weeks to get the ultimate results. Below are specific goals and a plan of action that I will be doing over the course of eight weeks; in an effort to make lifestyle changes. I will be reviewing the various area of my health deciding which areas I would like to make improvements. My present situation is that I have gained a significant amount of weight that has made my life a little uncomfortable. I started by making a chart to track my plan of action in each area that I will be working on.
Due to a high metabolism and fairly active lifestyle, I have always struggled to gain muscle mass (and mass in general). Although I have seen moderate results from strength training programs that I have attempted in the past, I am still searching for a program (both strength training and nutrition) that can help me reach a healthier body weight. Whenever I attempt a new weight-training program, I tend to see immediate benefits in many aspects of my life (i.e. sleep, mental focus, posture, improved mood, and improved daily functioning). Also, I engage in strength training programs with the goal of protecting myself from future health issues such as heart complications, diabetes, lack of bone density, etc. Although I prefer training solely with free-weights (due to the fact that it works my stabilizers), I often resort to the use of machines when a spotter is not available to me. Many of my routines target major muscle groups (abs, chest, shoulders, and biceps) and I often neglect other key areas of the body (Triceps, Lats, Rhomboids, Legs, Gluts, etc.). Thus, my one-month action plan (attached below) will devote time to all important muscle groups. Additionally, I have chosen to vary the number of reps and the amount of weight that I lift each week in order to avoid a plateau in my muscle
I began to slack off on my exercising, being that I could already lift a great deal more than any of my friends, not to mention I had gained an additional five pounds bringing my total weight gain to twenty pounds. Adding even more difficultly to maintaining my exercise routine, I took on a career as a traveling salesman, requiring me work long days and living out of hotels most of the year. I also continued in poor eating, abuse alcohol, and sleep for only a few hours a night. Over the next two years of irregular and undedicated exercise, I had lost ten pounds and nearly all my strength. I began to notice my life style had suddenly taking a toll on my overall health, sending me to the emergency room on several occasions. I soon realized that I needed to make a change in my life style or it was going to destroy me. I again turned to exercise for the answers I needed to make the change. I had heard many times before, while talking to other people who worked out, that it is very important to eat healthy, get enough sleep, and avoid alcohol if I wanted to see results from exercising. I was always quick to brush off advice like this, because I seemed to be making progress without following such strict rules, but I knew now that I need to make a change. I set out to achieve a healthy life style and began to use exercise as a source of
