Pedometer

Another idea is to purchase a pedometer to encourage walking. Children can count the number of steps taken and monitor their daily progress (918). It will challenge them to increase their walking. It is a fun idea to promote exercise. As a family, it is important that everyone is involved…

Question 1) Before I even think about implementing a stroke prevention program, I must look at all of the potential resources that are available. In addition, I must explore the setting that the program will be initiated in. As a health educator, at this stage one of the biggest issue’s is accessing grants for programs that can help a vast majority of the adult community. However, some potential grants for stroke prevention may be only limited to women. With that being said it, will take…

Hello, I’m Nate Sunker and I’m writing to on the urgent matter of cell phone use in secondary schools. This is an outdated policy that is overlooked by so many school executives who are chiefly looking at outdated studies and research. Newer research has shown that today’s cell phones are able to let students connect with the topic, communicate and keep safe, and improve students’ abilities inside and outside of school. Because of that, this issue cannot be ignored, and needs to be solved by the…

game from the ‘90’s and puts a modern twist on it. Instead of carrying around a Gameboy or Nintendo DSi with game cartridges that could be lost or damaged, the app is downloaded directly to a smartphone. The game itself uses location services and pedometers to track how far a user walks and determines how close Pokémon are and how much farther they must walk in order to hatch an egg. History is even incorporated into the game. Pokémon Go delivers many benefits to users that are beyond simply…

The childhood obesity epidemic is a majorly increasing issue in Australia that is constantly affecting the health of children. Obesity is defined as an excessive fat accumulation that may impair health (World Health Organization, 2016). Worldwide in 2014, 41 million children under the age of 5 were obese. Australia accommodated for 11.2 million of those children (AIHW, 2017). Therefore, the main focus of this work will look at children in the age category of 5 -12. According to the American…

The truck was all set. The coolers were stuffed with cheesy sandwiches, soggy with their exposure to ice, and all the kids were seated and buckled with their faces engrossed to their oversized iPads. Money? Check. Strollers? Ready to go. Large hunting cages? Check. Once a month my entire family plans a trip to our local flea market and I get dragged along. I like dusty vintage records and stained clothing as much as the next guy, but the idea of endlessly walking around small shops for hours on…

“A broken pedometer can count more steps than the genes that gave you your anger.” As Parker caught his breath, Murkoff proceeded to reach into the dented cooler and took out a syringe with an apportioned amount of mauve-colored liquid inside and another filled with…

Tax Incentives for Health Promotion Health promotion is an evolving approach to individual health that focuses on a proactive approach to health behaviours and not a reaction to illness. In light of the rising rates of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and respiratory disease in Canada, new strategies for chronic disease prevention are required. Addressing the common denominators of chronic disease (tobacco and alcohol consumption, a sedentary lifestyle and an unhealthy diet) is at the forefront…

level/Fitness: As I go through my day, I have been indirectly doing my fair share of exercise by engaging on daily walks and stair climbing. I am proud to say that I was able to log 65,387 for the week or roughly 9,341 steps a day using my iPhone pedometer app before I retire to my bed. Not only did I walk, but I also recorded 120…
