In Sickness and in Health Healthplan Writeup
Health plan write up:
I hope to prevent any easily preventable diseases that I could possibly get from not eating well and not exercising. I plan on on eating a lot healthier and exercising more often, and that will benefit me by making me stronger and healthier from the things that I eat. I want to be able to prevent the diseases that I could get from not exercising and eating well, because cardiovascular diseases are terrible things to get. If I am to exercise and eat better more often, then a lot of things about my body would change. By exercising, I am adjusting my blood pressure to a healthy amount to help and circulate blood better, and the eating healthier will prevent unnecessary plaque build up in my veins and arteries that could lead to heart attacks, blood clots or strokes. This health plan will impact my family because it will enable me to inform them about the risks of certain relevant cardiovascular diseases that they can prevent.
Nutritional health:
During the health plan project I will be drinking far less soda and eating substantially less candy and fast food. Instead of drinking my regular copious amounts of soda, I will be drinking water to keep my body well hydrated and healthy. I will be drinking a minimum of four cups of water a day, and may also drink some organic juices to substitute eating just fruits. During the project, I will be eating a lot more apples and tangerines because these are fruits that I enjoy already. I will try to monitor the amounts of sugar that I eat because I don’t want to eat excessive amounts that could be detrimental to my health.
Physical health:
Being an average teenage boy, I like sports and video games. Unfortunately, I spend a lot more time playing video games than I do at the gym exercising. I hope to change that by spending a lot more time at the gym. I will be spending a minimum of one hour at the gym per night, if possible. To monitor how much time I should be spending at the gym, I will be recording the amount of time that I spend playing video games and spend any extra time that I wasted playing games at the gym.
Musculoskeletal:
There has been some issues relating to my musculoskeletal system in the past, but nothing that still affects me today. In the past, my feet have gotten damaged while playing causing my a lot of pain. Even though the initial pain has been gone for years, the occasional feelings of it come back. They don’t usually come back, but they do if I collide with something abnormally hard or if my feet get stepped on hard. Other than that, I have been especially healthy. I haven’t had any broken bones or other things that could impact this system.
Cardiovascular:
I have been an athlete for the majority of my life, and because of this I have been generally fit. My cardiovascular health was better in earlier years because I was more involved in competitive sports, but now that I’m not as involved, my cardiovascular strength has taken a bit of a drop. My current health isn’t bad, but it could definitely be better than it is. With the good cardiovascular system, I have been generally strong for the entirety of my life.
Nervous:
There have been no major nervous events that may be relevant either now, or in the past. I have been mentally healthy for my entire life, and I am progressing through my mental development (learning, social abilities) normally.
Digestive:
I have been pretty healthy for my entire life. I tend to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables with a balanced diet. I eat pretty healthy, aside from the soda and fast food. I haven’t been eating as well lately because my both of my parents are working more, and I eat a bit more meals by myself. In eating by myself, I often just get a pizza or a fast burger to hold me over, and because of that I haven’t been eating nearly as healthy as regular. However, this change is nothing major because I still do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables with a well rounded diet.
Begin Date:
Nutrition:
I will be avoiding soda and fast food as much as I can. As a replacement for my soda and fast food, I will be eating more fruits, at least two per day, and I will be drinking substantially more water, at least four cups a day.
Physical:
I will be testing my endurance with a one mile run. I want to be a stronger runner for when the soccer season comes around so that I can play far more efficiently. I plan on not spending more than an hour a day on video games, and spending at least one hour at the gym working out my endurance and physical strength. I plan on making my workout well rounded by spending about half an hour on my running and endurance, then another half an hour working on the rest of my body. I will be working my core, arms and other assorted muscles that I can effectively exercise.
Daily:
Nutrition:
I will be eating more fruits every day. I plan on two apples, but that is subject to change because the fruit that resides in my house is often changed for other things to eat. I will be eating at least two pieces of fruit per day and I will do my best to eliminate drinking sodas while I do my homework because that will lead me to drinking more water on a regular basis. I will be drinking at least four cups of water per day.
Physical:
I plan on spending no more than an hour a day on video games. I will be increasing the amount of time that I spend at the gym drastically so that I can begin to get physically stronger. I will be running for at least half an hour and I will be lifting or pushing for another half an hour. This should in turn help with my cardiovascular health because I will be getting better at my endurance while keeping up the strength of the rest of my body.
Weekly:
Nutrition
I will be changing my diet in the first week to ensure that I am not eating any unnecessary sugars. I will continue to eat the fruits drinking the water, but I feel like I should take the average of how much fruit I eat per week and find how many standard deviations away from normal that it is. I will be doing this with water also, except I will be doing it with how many cups that I drink. This will be so that I can be entirely certain that I am completing my goals.
Physical:
I will be testing my mile time every week to see how good of a runner that I am becoming. I will be looking at my endurance because I will be checking how tired I am after the run and comparing that to the week prior. If I don’t feel as tired as before, then I can realize that I am doing a good job with the project. During the week I will record just how much time that I spend playing video games. If it is above normal, one hour a day, or seven hours a week, then I will be making that time up in the gym. Say I spend eight hours a week playing games, I will be sure to spend one extra hour working out.
End Date:
Nutrition:
I will check the overall averages of the fruits consumed and see if it all adds up. If it does, then I will have succeeded. At this point, there shouldn’t be any other foods that I consume that could counteract the health from my exercising and good diet. There shouldn’t be any junk food and there shouldn’t be any soda or unnecessary sugar. At this point, it should my routine to be eating primarily fruits and vegetables.
Physical:
I will be checking my mile time for the last time. At this point I should be able to run the entire mile without being as winded as the start. I aim to not slow down during this run, and I wish to be able to life just a bit more than at the start. I know that lifting heavier weights takes a bit of time, so I hope that it has changed just slightly from the start.
My primary goal is to increase my overall stamina so that I can play soccer better when the season comes around. I think that I will be able to accomplish this because it’s a realistic goal that I will be able to easily work at. I know that my stamina will surely increase and that I will become a little healthier from the nutritional aspect. My goal is to just become generally healthier and to grow physically from this. This is going to be easy to achieve because I will be able to work accordingly to influence this change.
By doing these activities I will be working to prevent cardiovascular disease by making my body all around healthier. Exercising will be working on my blood pressure that could help in cleaning out my veins and arteries while also helping to prevent unhealthy buildup of fat on my body that could make me lethargic. The exercise will also help to keep various parts of my body healthy and active so that I can be all around stronger.
By eating healthier I will be supplying my body with more of what it needs to function properly. I will be reducing the amount of unhealthy foods that I will be eating so that I can prevent any unnatural plaque buildup in my arteries so that the risk of a heart attack is dropped significantly.
From doing this project I found that I wasn’t as fit as I had assumed I was. I found that running long distances was actually pretty difficult for me, and that I was stronger in the cardiovascular system a few years ago. I think this is because I was playing more sports and exercising more than I am now. In the end, I did end up accomplishing my goals. My goal was to get better endurance for the soccer season, and I can tell that goal was completed because I am running a lot more efficiently at practices and games. My goal was to decrease my mile time and gain some endurance, and going to the gym nightly did a good job in helping me to do so.
To ensure that I am able to obtain optimal fitness and cardiac health I need to continue to exercise and run. By making my heart work a little harder by running, I am decreasing my resting heart rate, which is a healthy thing to do. To ensure that I can make myself more heart healthy, I plan on continuing the running and lifting. By doing that I will be continuing the things that allow me heart to be healthier than it is now. By testing myself for endurance more often, I will be able to adjust myself to a healthy workout that will be best for stimulating my cardiovascular system. I also need to continue eating healthy and avoiding unhealthy things, such as Mountain Dew. That is easy to do because I can simply replace the need for things such as that with better things, like fruits and water.
This plan will serve people in my family pretty well considering it is mainly for making people heart healthier. By having my family, and myself run and exercise more often, we are making ourselves healthier and less susceptible to heart disease. Most heart diseases are caused by a lack of stimulation and a buildup of plaques that cause a blockage. By exercising more often and eating all around better, preventing any possibility of this will be very easy. The nutritional aspect of this project could very easily serve my entire family because we shop at Costco, and we always have a lot of fruit to eat. This will enable us to eat a lot healthier, and that should help us to become a little healthier.
If I did this any differently, I may have spent less time watching TV and playing video games. If I were to stop doing those so often, I would be able to spend more time playing outside and exercising. One big thing that I learned from this project is that I can’t push myself too far or the entire exercise won’t really matter. I can apply what I learned because now I know my limits to my exercise, and overdoing it will become a thing of the past because I know when to stop exercising.
