Health and Nutrition Discussion
- Describe your current approach to exercise, nutrition, and overall health.
- To be completely honest the only exercise I really get is when I go to my physical therapist. You see I was in a bad car accident last May that has made it hard for me. If I walk for too long my knee hurts and begins to swell. Plus with my left shoulder the way it is I cannot do much in the way of stretches and things. However, I do try my best to do what my therapist tells me to do. My nutrition, on the other hand, is pretty good. I eat pretty healthily for the most part. My overall health is ok as well other than the fact that I have severe asthma which sometimes makes it a bit difficult to breathe.
- Select and describe two nutritional strategies that you can implement to either improve or maintain your current health.
- Two nutrition strategies that I can use to improve my overall health would be to cut down on the amount of greasy foods that I intake. Such as hamburgers, fried foods and things that are just overall fatty foods. Another strategy that I could probably improve on is the exercise. I could try to be a bit more active. Maybe go for a least one walk a day with my children.
