Let’s Go and Read!

Being alive is something we have the utmost gratitude for, and fitness and health are
of universal concern. This is something we all need to be concerned with, regardless of our
age. The youth today tend to be allowing to adopt some harmful behaviors that inevitably affect
their health both in the short and long terms.

Healthy eating is understanding what nutrients are available in the food that a person
eats and how the body uses them. This is closely associated with good health and freedom
from disease.

Overweight and Obesity

Both overweight and obesity imply a condition of excess weight of a person. Being
overweight means having more body weight than is considered normal or healthy for one’s
age or build. Being overweight does not necessarily imply excess fat. People like athletes and
bodybuilders can be overweight but not obese. On the other hand, obesity is the condition of
being obese. This means that there is a large amount of excess body fat.

Causes of Obesity or Overweight

 Overeating
 Inactive lifestyle
 Metabolic or Eating Disorder, medical conditions, or other types of hormonal imbalance
like thyroid problems
 Physical disabilities and food allergies
 Psychological and mental conditions caused by eating disorders

Eating Disorders
This are actually serious and often result to fatal illnesses that cause severe
disturbances to a person’s eating behavior and weight regulation. They are serious emotional
and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences.

 Common Signs and Symptoms of Eating Disorders

 Chronic dieting despite being dangerously underweight

 Constant weight fluctuations
 Obsession with calories and fat contents of food
 Engaging in ritualistic eating patterns such as cutting food into tiny pieces,
eating alone, and/or hiding food
 Continued fixation with food, recipes, or cooking; the individual may cook
complicated meals for other but refrain from partaking of the food
 Depression or inactive stage
 Avoidance of social functions, family, and friends; thus, becoming isolated

 Types of Eating Disorder

 Anorexia Nervosa
The person badly limits the quantity of food he/she consumes and view
himself/herself as overweight, even when the person clearly underweight. It
can be damaging to health such as brain damage, multiorgan failure, bone
loss, heart difficulties, and infertility. The risk of death is highest in individuals
with this type of disorder.

 Bulimia Nervosa
This is being characterized by repeated binge eating followed by behaviors
that compensate for the overeating such as forced vomiting, excessive
exercise, or extreme use of laxatives or diuretics. It can effect gastro-intestinal

6 | P a g e  
 
 

problems, severe hydration, and heart difficulties resulting from electrolyte

imbalance.

 Binge Eating Disorder / Over Eating Disorder

The person who suffer from this disorder will frequently lose control over
his/her eating. Unlike bulimia nervosa, episodes of binge eating are not
followed by compensatory behavior. Due to this, the person may become
obese and at risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

 Emotional Eating / Stress Eating

It is when a person uses food as a way to deal with feelings instead of
satisfying his/her hunger. Many have experienced finishing a whole bag of
chips out of boredom or downing cookie after cookie while cramming for a big
test. It can affect weight, health and overall well-being.

Practice task 1:

” Post an Awareness”
 In a clean sheet of bond paper or oslo paper (or any available and easy to use
material of the same kind) make an awareness poster/slogan about eating
disorder.
 You may seek a little assistance from your family members in the sourcing out of
materials or in the art process but be sure that you give your 80-90% effort on this
activity.
 I assure you, this will be a rewarding task!

Your output will be grade based on this criterion:

Content/Relevance - 10 points
Creativity - 10 points
Impact & Presentation - 5 points
Total - 25 points

After finishing your output share this to your family members and them your stand about eating
disorder. Maybe they will join you in your advocacy.

Get your materials ready and …. ENJOY!

Ok let Continue…!

 Prevention of Eating Disorders

 You should have a genuine awareness that will help you avoid judgmental or
mistaken attitudes about food, weight, body shape, and eating disorder
 Challenge the false belief that thinness, weight loss and/or muscularity and
desirable, while body fat and weight gain are shameful or indicate laziness,
worthlessness, or immorality.
 Avoid attitudes or actions that communicate “I will like you better if you lose
weight; do not eat so much or change your body shape.”
 Do not think that a particular diet, weight or body size will automatically lead
to happiness and fulfillment.

7 | P a g e  
 
 

 Talk about yourself with respect and appreciation and value yourself based
on your goals, accomplishment, talents, and character. Embrace the natural
diversity of human bodies and celebrate your body’s unique shape and size.
 Become a critical viewer of the media and its messages about self-esteem
and body image. Talk back to the television when you hear a comment or see
an image that promotes a certain body ideal at all costs.

 Weight Loss Strategies

o Make a commitment to change. You must accept that you have a problem
and decide that you really want to change.
o Incorporate exercise into the program. Choosing enjoyable activities,
places, time, equipment, and friends to work out with will help you get
motivated.
o Avoid automatic eating. Many people associate certain daily activities with
eating, for example cooking, watching television, or reading. Most foods
consumed in these situations lack nutritional value or are high in sugar and
fat.
o Stay busy. People tend to eat more when they sit around and do nothing.
o Try “junior size” instead of “super-size”. People who are served larger
portions eat more, whether they are hungry or not. Use smaller plates, bowls,
cups, and glasses.
o Eat slowly and at the table only. Eating at the table encourages people to
take time out to eat and deters snacking between meals. After eating do not sit
around the table but rather, clean up and put away the food to avoid snacking.
o Cut unnecessary items from your diet. Substituting water for a daily can of
soda would cut calories from your diet.
o Do not serve more food than you should eat. Measure food in portions and
keep serving dishes away from the table.
o Think positive. Avoid negative thoughts about how difficult changing past
behaviors might be. Instead think of the benefits you will reap, such as feeling,
looking, and functioning better, plus enjoying better health and improving
the quality of life.

 Mindful Eating

To be mindful is to use our minds to look inside, outside, and all around to consider
our actions and how these effects ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Mindfulness is usually associated with meditation and stress relief but it can also be a
powerful tool when choosing what we eat, how we are eating, and how our choices affect
our health and that of our environment. Just ask yourself who, what, when, where, why
and how.
1. WHAT are you eating?
Pay attention to food labels, ingredients lists, and sourcing. Avoid food with contents
that trigger a stress response in your body, namely refined sugars and carbohydrates.
If you see these in the first five ingredients, find something else. Remember you are
what you eat. Opt over quality over quantity.

2. WHY are you eating?

8 | P a g e  
 
 

Are you hungry? Stressed out? Sad? Celebrating? Keep a food journal and watch for
trends in your eating habits. You may discover that you may eat much high-fat, high-
calorie food when stressed. If you are aware of this trend, you will be able to look for
other ways to relieve stress that do not involve energy dense food that may ultimately
be leading to your weight gain.

3. WHEN are you eating?

Avoid skipping meals if possible. Instead, try to evenly space your meal and snacks
throughout the day which will be easier on your body’s digestive system.

4. HOW do you eat?

This is perhaps the most important part. Engage your five senses while eating and
slowly eat your food to really appreciate and savor the experience. Eating is very
sensual and perhaps our greatest weapon against diseases.

5. WHO is growing/preparing your food?

You should know who is growing and preparing your food.

6. WHERE does your food came from?

Many factors affect nutrition content such as variety, production method, post-harvest
handling, storage, and transportation. Most often local food will be higher in nutrition
content simply because it has traveled a shorter distance and varieties chosen are for
taste, not shelf stability.

Practice task 2:

“My Reflection”

1. Are you satisfied with your current body composition (including body
weight) and quality of life? If not, are you willing to do something about it
to properly resolve your problem? How?
