Question

Health Care reform is here...was here ...where is it? It took more than 75 years to bring changes ... political bickering...Supreme Court involvement...elections...more elections...more political bickering, and it is still going on! What a long process! This semester, you participated in your own health reform and brought changes a lot faster. Now that you know how easy it can be, how do you think society should handle individual responsibility for health care? Answer question #1 and any two of the policy questions; then respond to two of your classmates' policy discussions. One response should be to someone with whom you agree, and the other response should be to someone with whom you disagree, and both should be more substantial than "Me, too" or "I agree" type responses. If you do not disagree with anyone, pretend that you do and provide points that someone with that opinion would provide. Remember, it is possible to disagree without being disagreeable. Show the politicians that it is possible to debate the issues without being hostile. Netiquette is a must here.

1. How has this course affected your fitness and wellness understanding? Do you feel that you know more now than you did at the beginning of the semester? If you already knew a lot about fitness and wellness, did the course reinforce what you knew? What is the most important information you will remember from the course?

2. Should people who do not exercise and eat nutritiously pay more for health insurance? What about people who smoke cigarettes? Should people who exercise and eat nutritiously receive discounts on health insurance?

3. Do you think health care should be free for everyone, including people who do not practice preventive health? Should there be a minimal charge for everyone?

4. Should there be a "health tax" on soft drinks and fast food?

Answer:

What’s Best for Your Health Goals: Diet or Exercise:

A proper diet and regular exercise are the two pillars of a healthy lifestyle. But that doesn't mean they're equally important when it comes to your weight, your disease risk, or how long you'll live. In a head-to-head battle, research shows what you eat trumps how much you move.

You’ve set a health goal—to lose weight, increase your energy, boost your libido.

Here are five steps you can take to managing a healthier lifestyle:

1. Include fruits and vegetables in your diet

Adding fruits and vegetables is a perfect foundation for starting a healthy routine. Vegetables, like leafy greens, and fruits contain plentiful amounts of nutrients such as vitamins and antioxidants that help boost your immune system and fight off disease causing toxins. Antioxidants help fight eye disease, promote healthy skin, and overall health. The World Health Organization recommends eating fruits and veggies as a regular part of your diet so you’ll have a better chance of fighting some cancers, diseases, and heart disease. Make sure to eat five to nine servings of varied veggie and fruits per day.

2. Drink water

You can save money and improve your health by drinking water throughout the day. The natural liquid offers the benefits of hydration, nourishment, and improved well-being. Water can cleanse toxins from the body, improve brain function, energize muscles, control weight gain, and balance body temperature and fluids. It’s recommended to drink about 8 glasses, or 64 ounces, of water per day.

3. Manage your mental health

When it comes to building a healthy lifestyle, it’s easy to concentrate on the physical aspects of health and ignore the mental upkeep. Remember that your mental health is a foundation of your overall health. It’s important to manage and asses your feelings on a day-to-day basis. If you feel negative towards others, you could cause more unhappiness at work, school, or in your social life. Some ways you can improve your mental health include:

• Exercise
• Socialize with loved ones
• Join a club
• Sleep 7-9 hours every night
• Do something creative

If you continue to feel unhappy or even depressed, consult your physician or talk to a professional about ways you can improve your mental health.

4. Destress

Sometimes it’s beneficial to stop, take a deep breath, and relax. You can help maintain your physical and mental health by decompressing from a long, stressful school or work week. Try some relaxing activities to help you relax. Take advantage of meditation, listening to music, reading, watching a comedy, or exercising. These activities can help you unwind and they cause feelings of happiness and clam.

5. Exercise

The body is truly the temple of the soul, and you don’t want that temple to fall apart! Exercise is a great way to stimulate your health and studies have shown that physical activity helps improve longevity and overall health. Try to exercise up to three times a week. The American Heart Association advises for 150 minutes of exercise each week or an hour at least three times a week. Pick a convenient time schedule out time. You could exercise for 30 minutes the morning to get energized for your day.

Remember to keep your workouts fun. You should enjoy your workout and not feel like it’s a chore. Some fun physical activities include:

• Dancing
• Yoga
• Aerobics
• Running
• Hiking

These lifestyle tips can help you maintain a healthy and happier habits. The Branford Hall Career Institute hopes our students and graduates take advantage of these tips and share them with others. Sharing health and wellness with others can help build a strong, happy community and fulfilling lives!

1)The course about the health and fitness let to know a lot more than before. It helped me gain knowledge about both.

Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical activity, your diet can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease and cancer), and promote your overall health.

2) people who eat and exercise can be given a larger amount of discount and for people who eat nutritious food and don't do exercise can be given a little discount on health insurance.

3) can be free for people who practice preventive health.

4) of course there should be a health tax on soft drinks which will make people aware about the serious ill effects.
