XII. The ideal factors for cardiovascular are as followed: Optimal cholesterol, normal blood pressure, not having diabetes, having a lean body mass index, not being a smoker, physical activity, and a healthy diet.

Realistically speaking, I try to maintain a healthy diet, but, I don’t eat as healthy as I should, and I have a sweet tooth. More importantly due to genetics I have high cholesterol, I have lowered it throughout the years by eating better and exercising. The first time I had my cholesterol read to myself when I was sixteen, my range was at 290 (the average is below 200). This year during my checkup it ranged at 222.

Another way employers may help, is just as the idea of 401K, for those not interested in paying for health care, if employers can convince the employee to take a small portion even 1% of their income aside into a healthcare saving, to at least obtain one annual physical, that is a step forward into people being more conscious of their health, and what they can do to improve

    Over the course of this class, I have learned quite a bit about what it takes to actually eat healthy and take care of my body. Coming into this class, I thought that I had already figured out most of what I had needed to know. Very quickly, I started to realize that there is a whole lot more to eating healthy than I had thought. Being as health conscious as I am, I immediately found the class very interesting, as it is one of the only classes that I have ever taken that can actually be applied to life on the daily. That is why I found the “My Diet Analysis” project to be extremely interesting.…

    The heart is considered the “engine of life” through its ability to rhythmically pump oxygen rich blood throughout the body to supply life. Unfortunately, this vital organ is vulnerable to damage through actions of everyday life ranging from smoking, diet, physical inactivity, and consumption of alcohol. Damage to the heart results in heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease. Because of the vast complexity of the heart, heart disease branches off into various categories including “Rheumatic heart disease, Hypertensive heart disease, Ischemic heart disease, Cerebrovascular disease, Inflammatory heart disease and Valvular heart disease” (World Heart Federation, 2016). These categories branch off even further to Angina, heart attacks, stroke and Arteriosclerosis (World Heart Federation, 2016).…

It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

    Doing the personal dietary was an amazing experience that I cannot forget. It is enhanced my experience about how good certain food can be for the body and at the same time destroy the body or vital organs. For example, citric is good detoxifying the liver and can at the same time erode the enamels of the teeth. It was hard for me to take account of what I ate and only measured after eating, before realizing that I either ate too much or too little. Unit one was my first diet intake with my Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 2000; I consumed 1133 calories with balance of 867.…

By that, I mean I was relieved to know that I did not eat excess calories, but am concerned that I’m not eating enough. I was also surprised to see how much of everything (dairy, grains, etc.) you actually need every day.…
