1. HEALTH AWARENESS PROGRAM IN COMMUNITY

Implementing a health awareness program in a community can have significant positive

impacts on the well-being of its residents. Here are some steps and considerations for
developing and executing a successful health awareness program:

1. Assess Community Health Needs:

Conduct a thorough assessment of the community's health needs. Identify prevalent

health issues, demographics, and existing healthcare resources.

2. Define Program Objectives:

Clearly outline the goals and objectives of the health awareness program. Consider both
short-term and long-term outcomes.

3. Collaborate with Local Stakeholders:

Engage with local healthcare providers, community leaders, schools, businesses, and
other relevant stakeholders. Collaborative efforts can enhance the program's reach and

effectiveness.

4. Create Engaging Content:

Develop informative and engaging materials tailored to the community's needs. This
could include pamphlets, posters, videos, and online content.

5. Utilize Various Communication Channels:

Employ diverse communication channels to reach different segments of the community.

This may involve community meetings, social media, local newspapers, and radio.

6. Organize Workshops and Seminars:

Conduct workshops and seminars on relevant health topics. Invite healthcare
professionals to share insights, answer questions, and provide guidance.

7. Promote Healthy Lifestyles:

Emphasize the importance of healthy behaviors such as regular exercise, balanced

nutrition, and stress management. Consider organizing fitness classes, cooking
demonstrations, or mindfulness sessions.

8. Offer Screenings and Vaccination Clinics:

Arrange for health screenings (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol) and vaccination clinics
to promote preventive healthcare.

9. Empower Community Leaders:

Train and involve community leaders as health advocates. Their endorsement and
active participation can significantly influence community members.

10. Evaluate and Adjust:

Regularly assess the program's impact and gather feedback from the community. Use
this information to make necessary adjustments and improvements.

Though we stress that health is wealth, not everyone pays much attention to it. A slight
delay in treatment or simple carelessness could cost your life, and this is why people
should have proper health awareness. The short essay on health awareness focuses on
how we can prevent the issues of lack of treatment or healthcare facilities.

Some people do not know if they have any diseases, and they continue living in ignorance till
their health situation turns severe. Hence, it is necessary that we educate them about different
diseases, their symptoms and treatment options, as well as raise their awareness about health.
In this way, they will be motivated to make the right decisions regarding their
health.Constituents of Good Health

First, we have our physical health. This means being fit physically and in the absence of any
kind of disease or illness. When you have good physical health, you will have a longer life span.
One may maintain their physical health by having a balanced diet. Do not miss out on the
essential nutrients; take each of them in appropriate quantities.
Secondly, you must exercise daily. It may be for ten minutes only but never miss it. It will help
your body maintain physical fitness. Moreover, do not consume junk food all the time. Do not
smoke or drink as it has serious harmful consequences. Lastly, try to take adequate sleep
regularly instead of using your phone.

and way of handling situations. We must maintain our mental health by being positive and
meditating.

2. PREPARATION OF HEALTH PROFILE

A person-centered Health Profile is a document that brings together

all the information about the health of an individual. A Health
Profile can keep a person’s helpers (DSPs, family members, friends)
up-to-date about the person’s health. This article explains how to
write a Health Profile.

People living in Community Care Facilities already have documents

like Health Profiles: current physician’s reports, health histories,
and Individual Program Plans (IPPs). These documents can be
found in an individual’s file.

Why is a Health Profile important?

Individuals with developmental disabilities may face complicated

health problems. As a helper, it is your responsibility to monitor the health of the people you
support. The first step is to know about each individual’s health and be able to communicate
with other support people about an individual’s health.

The best way to communicate with an individual’s support team about the individual’s health
is to develop a person-centered Health Profile. Developing a Health Profile using a person-
centered approach means planning with the person, not for the person. Once it’s finished,
make sure that everyone who supports the individual knows about the Health Profile and has
read it.

If you know the person you support well, you may think you know all the information
already. However, it can still be helpful to sit down and talk about the person’s health with
the other members of their support team. It is also important to write the information down in
a way that is easy for everyone to find and understand.
How do I write a Health Profile?

You can develop a Profile by getting together:

 The individual you are supporting
 People who know and care about the individual (family, friends, helpers who support
the individual)
 People who know about the individual’s health (doctors, nurses, helpers who support
the individual, Regional Center Service Coordinator)

Meet together as a group and ask the individual's support team a series of person-centered
questions. A Health Profile is a one-to-two page summary of what people said in the meeting.

Another determinant of choice of diet is medical conditions. If an individual

has been diagnosed with a certain condition or disease, then the medical expert advises the

patient to avoid or favor a specific kind of diet as a means of treating the disease or problem

(Harvard Medical School Commentaries on Health, 2014). Personally, I have anemia so I

tend to favor a diet with a lot of meat in it.

My diet contains a lot of meat. Eating meat in excess is interfering with my health and fitness

goals. According to studies, too much meat fuels cancer (Healey, 2016). I exercise but my

weight never goes down as a result of too much meat. I also feel very tired most of the time.

Drug Use and Influences

During the weekends I take alcohol. It is only on the weekend that we meet up

with all my friends to spend time together share what has been happening in our lives as we

watch different football leagues playing. Since the setting is in a club, we are forced to buy

alcohol so as to remain on the premises. Also, drink alcohol because it makes me lively and

confident therefore I am able to enjoy myself and have a good time. Without it, I am usually

dull since naturally, I am a shy person.

My friends influence me the most since when I ask for a soda instead of alcohol, the laugh at

me and patronize me hence I am left with no choice but to order an alcoholic drink since they

deem it as a drink taken by mature adults. As a result of taking too much alcohol, my

judgment is impaired and I tend to make unwise decisions (Acred, 2014). I also experience a

hangover the next day.

As far as beverages are concerned, I take tea or coffee in the morning. These

two are stimulants and they help to awaken the mind and keep me alert for the day ahead

(Muth, 2015). I also take soft drinks especially after taking my lunch since it quenches my

thirst.

As far as influences are concerned my mother influences me and my family mainly because,

since I was young she either tea or coffee every morning. The consequences of taking tea or

coffee for many years are that you tend to be addicted. Whenever I fail to take either of the

two beverages in the morning I always feel dull.

All in all, financial status, education and behavior are some of the health determinants that

influence a person’s health (Inkster, 2014).

 UNIT 2
YOGA PRACTICES
1.MUDRA YOGA
Yoga is about more than twisting your body or performing tough asanas. There are
many other old practises that can be used in Yoga. Today, we'll discuss one of them:
Mudra, an ancient technique that we use during Pranayama and Meditation.

Mudra is a Sanskrit term that means "gesture" or "attitude." Psychic, emotional,

spiritual, and artistic gestures or attitudes are all examples of mudras. Mudras were
characterised by ancient yogis as energy-flowing postures meant to connect individual
pranic force with universal or cosmic force

1. Gyan Mudra (Psychic gesture of Knowledge)

This is one of the most fundamental yoga mudras for increasing concentration and
knowledge.

2.Chinmaya Mudra (Awareness)

This is one of the most effective mudras for physical and mental well-being

3.Vayu Mudra (Air)

This is for balancing your body's air element, as the name implies.

This mudra aids in the expulsion of excess air from the body, which relieves chest pain
caused by trapped gas.
4. Agni Mudra (Fire)

This mudra is for balancing your body's fire element, as the name implies. If you have
indigestion or acidity, you should avoid this mudra.

5.Varun Mudra ( Water)

This mudra is for balancing the water element of your body, as the name implies. This
mudra can be used to improve one's appearance.
6. Prana Mudra (Life)

This mudra is for balancing your body's life element, as the name implies. This yoga
gesture strengthens your immune system, enhances your vision, and helps you feel more
energised by combating lethargy. This is a crucial mudra because it activates your
body's energy.

Bend your ring and little fingers and place the tips of both of these fingers on the tip of
your thumb. Straighten each hand's other two fingers, keeping them relaxed and slightly
apart. Now, with the palms facing up, place the hands on the knees. Hands and arms
should be relaxed.

This mudra strengthens your immune system. This increases the power of your eyes and
the clarity of your eyesight. It also alleviates fatigue and treats eye disorders.

7. Shunya Mudra (Sky)

This mudra is also known as the paradise mudra, and it can help you achieve a state of
tranquillity if you practise it regularly
Using your thumb, press the first phalanx of your middle finger. Straighten each hand's
remaining three fingers so that they are relaxed and slightly apart. Now, with the palms
facing up, place the hands on the knees. Hands and arms should be relaxed.

This mudra relieves earaches and aids persons who are losing their hearing due to age or
disease. It also aids in the treatment of motion sickness and vertigo.

8.Surya Mudra (Sun)

This mudra is for balancing the sun aspect of your body, as the name implies. To take
use of the sun's vitality, you must do it first thing in the morning.

Press your ring finger with the thumb. Straighten each hand's remaining three fingers so
that they are relaxed and slightly apart. Now, with the palms facing up, place the hands
on the knees. Hands and arms should be relaxed.

This mudra aids in the reduction of bad cholesterol and weight gain. It also helps with
anxiety and digestion.
9.Prithvi Mudra (Earth)

Make a connection between the tip of your ring finger and the tip of your thumb.
Straighten each hand's remaining three fingers so that they are relaxed and slightly apart.
Now, with the palms facing up, place the hands on the knees. Hands and arms should be
relaxed.

This mudra helps to increase blood circulation throughout the body. While meditating,
it improves patience, tolerance, and concentration. It also aids in the strengthening of
weak and lean bones. Surprisingly, it aids in the increase of body weight, as well as the
reduction of weakness and mental dullness.
10.Adi Mudra ( First Gesture)

This is a symbolic and ritualistic hand gesture used to quiet the mind and nervous
system in a spiritual yoga practise.

A light fist is formed by placing the thumb at the base of the tiny finger and curling the
other fingers over the thumb. Now, with your palms facing upwards, lay your hands on
your knees and take deep, relaxed breaths.

This mudra helps to prevent snoring by relaxing the nerve system. It also boosts the
passage of oxygen to the brain and expands the lungs' capacity.
2.KRIYA YOGA

Kriya yoga is an ancient type of meditation technique that, when practiced, is meant to
rapidly accelerate one’s spiritual progress.

Although practiced in India for centuries, the Kriya yoga meditation technique received
worldwide attention after it was mentioned in the book, “Autobiography of a Yogi” by
Paramahansa Yogananda. He is known as one of the modern founders of Kriya yoga and
introduced the practice to the West in the 1920s.

Kriya yoga is a meditation technique of controlling energy through pranayama and

meditation, which speeds up the spiritual process of the aspirant. In 1861, the practice of
Kriya yoga was revived by Mahavatar Babaji and passed through his disciple, Lahiri
Mahasaya. Through Lahiri Mahasaya, the practice spread throughout India.

The practice of Kriya yoga is taught only through a guru-disciple relationship and after an
initiation ceremony. Most practitioners of meditation spend time in self-study and practice
until they are ready to be further initiated into the advanced practices of Kriya yoga.
Beginning meditators are advised to use a mantra or word in order to focus their attention and
progress into deeper meditation sessions.

The term kriyā yoga has a technical meaning in the Yoga Sutras. It designates the "practical"
aspects of the philosophy that is the "union with the Supreme" due to performance of duties
in everyday life.Kriya Yoga is described by its practitioners as the ancient Yoga system
revived in modern times by MahavatarBabaji through his disciple LahiriMahasaya.

Kriya Yoga was brought to the international awareness by ParamahansaYogananda's book

Autobiography of a Yogi and through Yogananda's introductions of the practice to the west
from 1920. Kriya yoga system consists of a number of levels of pranayama, mantra, and
mudra based on techniques intended to rapidly accelerate spiritual development and engender
a profound state of tranquillity. Yogananda attributes his description of Kriya Yoga to his
lineage of gurus, Sri YukteswarGiri, LahiriMahasaya, and MahavatarBabaji.
Essence of Kriya
Fundamentally kriya means internal action of the body. Both the body and the mind are
external to a person. Only when a person develops mastery to do action with his energy, then
it is called kriya. Karma (fate) binds a person while kriya releases him. A person’s thoughts
and emotions are not stable. They keep fluctuating from time to time but energies are
different. If the energies are touched and activated, it gives a completely different dimension
to every aspect of life.

Without guidance, the path of Kriya should not be followed as that would be too strenuous
and the true essence of Kriya will not be understood. Kriya helps a person to comprehend the
essence of life and realization. The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve,
upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar,
sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the
symbolic Cosmic Man.

Potency
Kriya yoga is a very powerful way to walk the spiritual path, but at the same time it is a very
demanding way. What it demands out of a person is so tremendous. For a modern educated
person today, kriya yoga would be inhuman because it needs that kind of discipline and and
certain exactness about everything. Constantly seeking comfort is a hindrance in the path of
Kriya. This yoga is important to do things beyond realization. Kriyas are elaborate and
involve a lot of discipline and focus.

History
According to Yogananda’s book in ‘God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita’, the science
of Kriya Yoga was given to Manu, the first man according to the Vedas. Through him, it
passed to Janaka and other royal sages. According to Yogananda, Kriya Yoga was well
known in ancient India, but was eventually lost, due to priestly secrecy and man’s
indifference. Kriya entails several acts that have evidently been adapted from the Gita, the
Yoga Sutras, Tantrashastras and from conceptions on the Yugas.Through LahiriMahasaya,
Kriya Yoga soon spread throughout India. Yogananda, a disciple of Sri YukteswarGiri who
was himself a disciple of LahiriMahasaya, then brought Kriya Yoga to the United States and
Europe during the 20th century. LahiriMahasaya's disciples included his sons, DukouriLahiri
and TinkouriLahiri, Sri YukteswarGiri, and many others.

Benefits
By the practice of the scientific technique of Kriya Yoga, simultaneous development of body,
mind, intellect and soul takes place. By magnetizing the spine by a very simple way of Kriya
practice, one can perceive the all-accomplishing divine energy in the body.

Spiritual Growth
By the practice of the scientific technique of Kriya Yoga, the entire human system is
magnetized and energized in a very short time. All the internal organs like liver, pancreas,
spleen, thyroid, pituitary, pineal organs are activated. They secrete necessary hormones and
enzymes to keep the body healthy.

Mind Control
By the practice of Kriya Yoga, the mind becomes in a short time calm, quiet and thoughtless.
The blood absorbs a better quantity of oxygen and becomes quickly de-carbonized, which
increases the general well-being. A number of psychosomatic diseases can be avoided.

Intellectual Development
Through more circulation in the head, thereby energizing the brain cells, the working
capacity of the brain is enhanced. One will not get easily tired, and the memory and retentive
quality of the brain will increase.

Personality Development
Kriya Yoga brings change in the entire human personality, making one free from falsehood
and all negativity, and constantly absorbed in truth and divinity.

Kriya Yoga enables constant soul-awareness, in every breath, in every thought and every
moment. It quickens spiritual evolution and takes one to the door of spiritual realization in a
short time. However the necessary precondition is to practice the technique with love,
regularly and sincerely with implicit faith on God and guru.
 Unit-3

Concept of Sports and Fitness:

Definition of Sports:

Sports encompass a diverse range of physical activities or games that require skill,
strategy, and competition. These activities can be organized or recreational and are
often governed by established rules or customs. Sports play a crucial role in promoting
physical health, mental well-being, and fostering social interactions.

Definition of Fitness:

Fitness is a holistic concept that refers to an individual's overall health and well-being,
encompassing physical, mental, and social aspects. Achieving fitness involves regular
physical activity and the development of various components, including cardiovascular
endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.

Importance of Sports and Fitness:

1. Physical Health:

Regular participation in sports and fitness activities contributes to cardiovascular

health, helps manage weight, and promotes overall physical well-being.

2. Mental Health:

Engaging in sports is associated with improved mood, reduced stress, and enhanced
mental resilience. Fitness activities can positively impact mental health, contributing to
a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.

3. Social Interaction:

Sports provide a platform for individuals to interact socially, fostering teamwork,

communication skills, and the development of strong social bonds.

4. Discipline and Goal Setting:

In sports, individuals learn discipline, commitment, and the importance of setting and
striving for personal and team goals. These skills are transferable to various aspects of
life.
5. Skill Development:

Participation in sports enhances motor skills, coordination, and the acquisition of

specific skills related to the chosen activity. This can lead to increased self-confidence
and a sense of competence.

6. Community Building:

Sports have the power to bring communities together, creating a sense of identity and
shared purpose. Community-based sports events contribute to social cohesion and a
sense of belonging.

Fitness Components:

1. Cardiovascular Endurance:

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to
working muscles during sustained physical activity. Activities such as running,
swimming, and cycling enhance cardiovascular endurance.

2. Muscular Strength:
Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle or group of muscles can generate.
Resistance training, weightlifting, and bodyweight exercises contribute to the
development of muscular strength.

3. Muscular Endurance:

Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to perform repetitive contractions over an

extended period. Endurance training, involving lower resistance and higher repetitions,
improves muscular endurance.

4. Flexibility:

Flexibility is the range of motion around a joint. Stretching exercises, yoga, and Pilates
enhance flexibility, promoting better posture and reducing the risk of injury.

5. Body Composition:

Body composition refers to the proportion of fat and non-fat mass in the body.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy body composition involves a combination of
regular exercise and a balanced diet.

History of Sports:

Ancient Sports:

Sports have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. In Ancient Greece, the
Olympic Games, first held in 776 BCE, were a celebration of physical prowess and a
tribute to the gods. Similarly, ancient civilizations in China, Rome, and Mesoamerica
had their own sporting traditions.

Medieval and Renaissance Periods:

During the medieval and Renaissance periods, sports evolved with the emergence of
activities like archery, jousting, and early forms of football. These sports often had
connections to military training or were associated with social and cultural events.

Modernization of Sports:

The 19th and 20th centuries witnessed the formalization and modernization of sports.
The establishment of standardized rules, international competitions, and the formation
of sports organizations contributed to the global popularity of sports.

Ancient and Modern Olympics:

Ancient Olympics:

The Ancient Olympic Games, held in Olympia, Greece, were a major cultural and
athletic event. They included various sports such as running, wrestling, and chariot
racing. The Games were held every four years, and winners were celebrated as heroes.

Modern Olympics:

The modern Olympic Games were revived in 1896 by Pierre de Coubertin. The event,
held every four years, brings together athletes from around the world to compete in
various sports. The Olympics promote international understanding, unity, and fair
competition.

Asian Games:

The Asian Games, initiated in 1951, are a multi-sport event held every four years. The
Games feature athletes from Asian countries participating in a wide range of sports.
The event fosters cultural exchange and friendly competition among nations in the
Asian continent.

Commonwealth Games:
The Commonwealth Games, established in 1930, are a sporting event for countries that
are part of the Commonwealth of Nations. Held every four years, the Games promote
goodwill and understanding among Commonwealth nations through friendly
competition in various sports.

In conclusion, sports and fitness are integral to human well-being, providing physical,
mental, and social benefits. Understanding the historical context of sports, the
components of fitness, and the significance of major international events contributes to
a holistic appreciation of the role sports play in our lives. Whether ancient or modern,
sports continue to be a source of inspiration, unity, and celebration across the globe.
