THE PICTURE

Directions:
Describe the person in the picture below.
“What may have caused the person to be that
way?”
Many of us try to live a healthy lifestyle. We
do various things to become fit and to
achieve our desired physique oftentimes
without first knowing and understanding the
consequences.
Our health becomes at risk and prone to
different risks that can affect our capacity to
do daily physical activity.

We need to realize that there are some

common health practices particularly when
dealing with stress that needs to be corrected
right away, especially among the young ones.

Management: What Goes Wrong?
Eating
Habits
We can always eat the food that we want. There is nothing
wrong with eating. It only goes wrong if we consume less
or more than what our body needs; also when we eat
unhealthy food.

Can lead to being underweight, overweight, or even

obese. It is alarming to see that many are suffering from
malnutrition, overweight, and obesity.
 Eating Habits, Sleep Management, and Stress
Management: What Goes Wrong?
Eating
Habits
Underweight people are often found to suffer from
malnutrition due to lack of adequate nutrients in the body.
Many of them do not get the right number of calories to
fuel their bodies thus, they tend to lack the energy to do
regular tasks at home, school, and work.

Their immune system also gets weak and compromised,

making them prone to health risk issues such as anemia
and osteoporosis.

Eating
Habits
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder wherein a person is
abnormally underweight, has an intense fear of gaining,
and an abnormal understanding of body weight, often due
to coping with emotional problems stemming from self-
worth.

Eating
Habits
People with anorexia use extreme efforts to prevent
weight gain and keep on losing weight by restricting
food intake, exercising excessively, or misusing diet aids,
diuretics, and laxatives. These tend to significantly
interfere with activities in their lives.

Overeating is also found to be one of the leading causes of
overweight and obesity. Eating too much, especially
processed food and sugary drinks, coupled with a
sedentary lifestyle contributes significantly to weight gain.

The calories consumed, particularly from fats and sugars,
must be burned off through physical activity or exercise.
Otherwise, these calories will just be stored in the body as
fat.

Eating

Overweight and obese people often encounter a lot of
physical and emotional struggles in their daily lives.
They often have a hard time doing simple tasks such as
tying their shoelaces or walking up a short flight of
stairs.

Furthermore, they are also at risk of developing other

Sleep Management
Sleep is essential to everyone’s health. Normally, we need
about 6 to 8 hours of night sleep everyday to allow the
body to rest and regenerate. When we wake up in the
morning after a good night’s sleep, we feel fresh and
energetic. We become effective and productive in our
daily activities.

However, a lot of people, in particular teens, practice bad
sleeping habits such as the following:

1.Staying
2.Internet up all night
addiction
3.Eating before sleeping
 Eating Habits, Sleep Management, and Stress

Staying up all
night
This is the most common bad sleeping habit of most
people. To submit a project, a paper, or some other work
at the last minute, they cram to finish it, staying up all
night until they are done.

Some people just spend the night reading or doing other

stuff that they just do not want to postpone for another
time.
 Eating Habits, Sleep Management, and Stress

Internet Addiction
Social media is massively addictive. Many people would
spend a lot of their time browsing social media sites such
as Facebook and YouTube.

They are awake all night to converse and play with their
friends and forgo sleeping on time. This results in
tiredness and unproductiveness in work, in school, and
even at home.

Eating Before
Sleeping
Eating could be one of the things we do that give us
comfort but should be discouraged just before bedtime.
Eating before sleeping can cause discomfort preventing us
from falling asleep easily.

Eating Before
Sleeping
When we eat too close to our bedtime, it means that we
go to our bed while digesting. This can cause acid reflux
which makes a person lose sleep. It is best to eat 4 hours
before falling asleep so we can be sure that our digestive
system has done its job.

Stress Management
We need to deal with the fact that stress is part of our
lives. Stress happens for many reasons, environmental
factors, fatigue, too much work, illness, and loneliness.
It is inevitable; therefore, it needs to be handled properly.
 Eating Habits, Sleep Management, and Stress

Stress Management
Handling stress seems to be tough to do but we need to
learn how to cope with it the right way. If not properly
dealt with, it can lead to many health concerns, difficulties
in sleeping, poor immunity, hypertension, and even heart
disease.

One may also perform poorly in physical activities
because of stress. However, while some may be able to
deal with stress, others may not and resort to ineffective or
worst, unhealthy means of dealing with stress.
Examples of such means that can be detrimental to
health are the following:

1.Smoking
2.Bad Eating Habits – Skipping meals and/or overeating
3.Excessive alcohol intake
4.Excessive sleeping
5.Procrastinating – Trying to hide and escape the
problem using delaying tactics rather than facing the
problem.

SUMMARY
Skipping meals, overeating, too much intake of processed
food, lack of sleep, staying up late, and the inability to cope
with highly stressful environment are all part of having an
unhealthy lifestyle. This can lead to failure in performing
daily tasks as these affect the physical and even emotional
state of a person. Being exposed to a prolonged state of
stress may compromise our immune system and even lead to
health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes,
and cancer. It is therefore wise to be aware of your health
and to correct bad health practices as early as now or suffer
the consequences.
