DID YOU GET ALL THE WORDS? WOW ! YOU ARE AMAZING!

Weight and Nutritional value are highly capable to nutritional

health, the choice of where, as well as what to eat, is often based more on
social considerations than on nutritional judgments.

Hence, you should be more conscious of the factors that affect your own
personal food choices.

Poor food choices contribute directly to obesity, heart disease, diabetes,

cancer, and other health problems. Understanding the importance of food
choices becomes even more critical as a greater number of people rely more on
convenience food, take-out meals, and eating out. Poor diet, coupled with lack
of exercise contributes to an increased risk of diseases.

A modification in your eating habits is needed most especially when you

are at risk of disease. Small and simple changes like adding more fruits to your
diet can make a difference in your health.

PRACTICE TASK 2: LET’S ANALYZE!

This is an opportunity to discuss and clarify the importance of critiquing media and technology
regarding physical activity and nutrition.

Materials:

 Reading materials
 Video presentation of a product advertisement ( e.g., Fit ‘n Right. Etc.)
 Poster of an athlete with a product being endorsed (Michael Jordan on Gatorade, Manny Pacquiao
in Sting, etc.
Procedure:

Watch the video and/or study the poster and discuss the following questions and share it with
your classmate.

Guide Questions:

1. Based on your prior knowledge about physical activity and nutrition practices, what can you
say about the advertisement?
2. What is the literal and implied message of the advertisement? Who is the target audience?
3. Is it an effective advertisement?
4. In an essay form, discuss the value of analyzing the effect and power of media and
technology on physical activity and nutrition practices.
Think about this!

Media and Technology can greatly influence the choices individuals make about
their health, particularly their eating habits and participation in physical activity.

  Hence, you must be aware of the power of advertisements and how they affect
  you. You may be surprised   to find out that a lot of your attitudes, beliefs, and practices
have to do with what you see on TV, in advertisements, and what you hear from others.
