LIFE STYLE AND WEIGH
MANAGEMENT TO PROMOTE
SOCIETAL FITNESS AND
EATING HABITS
LIFESTYLE
• The way in which an individual lives
interest.
• This includes the typical patterns of an
individual’s behavior like everyday
routine at home, in school, or at work;
eating, sleeping, and exercise habits,
and many others
Managing your lifestyle entails
making modifications in your routine
especially in those aspects that elevate
health risks. Food choice, physical
activity, and eating habits are some of
the aspects of your lifestyle that can be
modified to improve it.
These modifications should be
done gradually, like reducing the
intake of fatty food, getting up to
reach for something instead of
asking someone to get it for you,
or walking faster and more often.
The idea is that for health risks to
be reduced.
Risk factors are variables in your lifestyle that
may lead to certain diseases. Many aspects of
your lifestyle can be considered risk factors.
Aside from genetics or heredity, age and
physical make-up are some of the factors that
cannot be changed; however, your lifestyle can
go around these factors to gain more benefits.
For instance, you cannot stop the aging process,
but you can delay the signs of aging from showing
by being more active and avoiding vices.
The other variables in your lifestyle,
however, can be modified to achieve a
healthier life. Such variables include
nutrition, body weight, physical
activity, and health habits. What
should be kept in mind is that these
variables bring with them risk factors
that are serious concerns.
Some of the risk factors associated
with lifestyle variables include
hypertension / high blood pressure,
overweight and obesity, excess body
fat, high levels of stress, lack of
exercise and sedentary lifestyle,
smoking, unhealthy dietary practices,
and alcohol consumption.
An unhealthy lifestyle brings with it certain
diseases that can shorten your lifespan.
These diseases, known as non-
communicable diseases (NCDs), are not
transmitted from person to person, yet kill
more than 36 million people each year. Also
called chronic diseases, they are of long
duration, and are generally of slow
progression.
The four main types of NCDs
• Cardiovascular Diseases (like
enlargement of the heart and
hypertension),
• Cancer,
• Chronic Respiratory Diseases (such as
chronic obstructed pulmonary disease
and asthma), and
• Diabetes.
WEIGHT
and
MANAGEMENT
• Weight Gain = energy consumed is
greater than energy expended / more
food intake but less physical exertion
• Weight Loss = energy consumed is
less than energy expended / more
physical exertion but less food intake
• Weight Maintenance = energy
consumed equals energy expended /
physical exertion is the same with
food intake
BMI =
Measure Progress
Without The Scale
Use a tape measure.
• A tape measure is a more accurate way to see
which individual parts of your body have
slimmed down or bulked up, depending on
your goal. Measure the places that you want to
see change. Some common areas are the
biceps, chest, thighs, and waist.
Take progress photos
• Photos also help keep us motivated
when the number on the scale isn’t
budging.
• To get the best progress photos, make
sure that your photos are as consistent
as possible. Take each progressive
photo at the same time and day of the
week, in similar lighting conditions
and clothes.
Evaluate how your clothes feel
• Your clothes can tell you a lot about how your
body is changing. Focus on how they feel on
your body, depending on your fitness goals.
Your pants may feel looser in the waist and
tighter in the thighs as you lose fat and build
muscle, for example. Pay attention to how
your old favorite pieces fit and fall around
your body. Feeling confident in your body and
your wardrobe are important pieces in the
progress puzzle
Test your fitness levels
• Improving your fitness and health isn’t
just about the number on the scale.
“Measure your progress by the
amount of weight you can lift [and]
how much faster you can run,”
