Health Plan for Life How to Utilize a Nutritional Program to Attain Personal Health Goals

The importance of a healthy diet cannot be stressed enough. One of the main problems that plague our society today is a high percentage of overweight people. Indeed, struggling with weight is a lifelong problem for many in today's society, and this stems from the fact that both our food and our lifestyle has a great impact on how many live and eat. The aforementioned two facts refer to the fact that first, our food is produced very poorly and many eat the cheap, mass produced food instead of organic, farm-based food, and second, our lifestyle is highly dependent on cars, and is quite sedentary both in our workplace and often times at home. It is also important to mention here that stress also has a great impact upon how our diet fluctuates.

Nonetheless, and as mentioned above, a healthy diet is perhaps the most important aspect of a healthy and long life. In fact, since birth, we are bombarded by nutrients, and during teen years, we experience growth spurts that allow us to eat various foods and still be healthy and active. However, as we go forward in age, one must be careful. I have struggled myself with weight fluctuations, and have come to realize just how important a good diet truly is to both make me feel good about myself, to give me energy and eventually, allow me to lead a long life. I have therefore learned, primarily from the text for this course, that a poor diet anytime in life always affects health eventually. In order to implement all that I have learned and address my lifelong struggle with weight, I have decided upon identifying a viable health plan including diet and exercise, that I will attempt to start and continue throughout my whole life. The remainder of this paper will therefore focus...

I have first started to think very deeply about what my nutritional and my physical exercise goals should be. First, I would like to describe my four nutritional goals. These will include: eating at least four pieces of fruit every day, drinking at least 1.5 liters of water every day, eating lunch halfway through the day instead of at 12p.m. though keeping this schedule relatively fixed, and also increasing my intake of dark vegetables, especially with dinner.

Next, I would like to describe my physical exercise goals, which are activities that I am able to do regardless of the season and which will include: mountain bike riding at least three times a week, enrolling at a gym where I can do cardio training on treadmills or stair masters at least twice a week, swimming once a week, especially during the summer, and taking a relaxation class such as yoga or something similar that can enable me to vary my exercise program. Further, in this section I would also like to add that I would like to do some easy exercises in the office, so that I may better be able to continue my physical exercise goals throughout the day. The office exercises can simply include taking stairs instead of the elevator or standing while speaking on the phone instead of speaking, and these could vary throughout the day as well, but I will try to do them for at least 20 minutes or so daily.
