LIFESTYLE AND MANAGING IT

Introduction

The way in which an individual lives is called lifestyle. 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. These patterns of behavior are related to elevated or reduced health risk.

Teenagers like you may have practices or habits at home or in school that either elevate or reduce health risks. Do you spend a lot of your time at home just sitting down and doing nothing? Do you move a lot by helping out at home, cleaning your house for example? Do you love eating fruits and vegetables? Or do you prefer junk food or fast food? Teenagers like you should be more aware on how your nutritional practices can affect your health.

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, changes in your lifestyle should be made.

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 are cardiovascular diseases (like enlargement of the heart and hypertension), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and asthma), and diabetes.


12

DEPED COPY

All age groups are affected by NCDs, although they are often associated with older age groups. Evidence shows that more than nine million of all deaths attributed to NCDs occur before the age of 60. Children and adults are all vulnerable to the risk factors that lead to non-communicable diseases, whether from unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, exposure to tobacco smoke, or the harmful effects of alcohol. (www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs355/en/ ).

Figure 1. Lifestyle Management Continuum

It is important that these risks factors are addressed even at your teenage years. You could start by being more active, adding physical activity sessions to your daily routine, or by being a healthy eater, opting for more nutritious food.Fahey, T. D., Insel, P. M., & Roth, W. T. (2003). Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in

Physical Fitness and Wellness (5th ed.). Boston: McGraw-Hill.

WEIGHT AND MANAGING IT Introduction

You might find other individuals lucky because they eat a lot but do not gain weight as much as you do. You might also think it is unfair that though you limit your food intake, you do not lose as much weight as you want to. This is because your weight is a result of metabolic responses of your body to your food intake, energy expenditure, and physiologic processes. A simple elimination of food or addition of physical activity does not encompass the entirety of weight management. Understanding how your body works is a vital key as well as a combination of healthy food practices and a more active lifestyle.

The concepts of weight gain and weight loss are important in weight management. How to gain and lose weight are probably some of the more common issues when it comes to health. Along with this concept is weight maintenance. To understand it in simple terms, energy expenditure is the amount of energy you spend through physical activity, while energy consumption is the amount of energy you take in through food. They both play key roles in weight management. A simple formula is shown here.


13

DEPED COPY

Weight Gain = energy consumed is greater than energy expended = more food intake but less physical exertionWeight Loss = energy consumed is less than energy expended = more physical exertion but less food intakeWeight Maintenance = energy consumed equals energy expended = physical exertion is the same with food intake

Modifying your eating habits can aid you in managing your weight. Opting for more nutritious food can help lessen health risks and improve your physique. Some of the common tips in weight management are including fruits and vegetables in your meals, reducing intake of sweets, preparing your meals in a healthier way, and decreasing portion sizes. Aside from taking note of your eating habits, you should also take note of your actual weight as an indicator of health risk. This has to do with getting your Body Mass Index (BMI). It is a rough measure of body composition that is useful for classifying the health risks of body weight. It is also based on the concept that a person’s weight should be proportional to height. BMI is calculated by dividing your body weight (expressed in kilograms) by the square of your height (expressed in meters).

Example: Weight: 130 pounds (convert into kilos) x 1kg / 2.2 pounds = 59 kg Height: 5 feet 3 inches (convert to meters) x .0254 meters / inch = 1.6 m

BMI = wt in kg = 59 kg = 23 kg/m2 ht in m2 (1.6 m) 2

Classification BMIUnderweight

DEPED COPY

regular exercise and healthy diet. A lifestyle that includes regular exercise may be more important for health than trying to reach any “ideal” weight. Once you have established a body composition goal, you can then set a target range for body weight.

ACTIVE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Introduction

Recreational activities are those activities held during one’s leisure time. Their purpose is to refresh oneself by doing activities that are considered by an individual as enjoyable.

These activities may require large body movements such as running, throwing, and jumping, or small movements such as playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and many others. When a recreational activity is athletics or sports, this may require more physical exertion and competition. However, athletics and sports may also be participated in more for the enjoyment they bring rather than competitive play.

Active recreational activities are highly recommended for health promotion. These activities require more amounts of energy to be expended than the usual energy expenditure. This means that you do activities that make you exert more effort than what you usually do.

Moderate amounts of physical activity are recommended daily. The total activity can be accumulated in multiple short bouts – for example, two 10-minute brisk walk sessions and a 15-minute bike ride. This can also be done in continuous sessions.

Choose recreational activities that you find enjoyable and fits into your daily routine. Your participation in these activities could easily be sustained since you personally enjoy doing them and you even do it in your own time. Hence, strict adherence to a regular physical activity is very viable.

Regular physical activity, regardless of how hard it is, makes you healthier and can help protect you from many chronic diseases. However, exercising at low levels of exertion does little to improve physical fitness. It is recommended that you exert more than your usual effort. For example, if you are used to walking for 15 minutes from home to work, you could walk faster or for a longer duration.

Some of the more common active recreational activities are sports like badminton, tennis, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and football. These activities require specific skills to be able to play them. For sports involvement to be enjoyable, either recreational or competitive play may be pursued. It all depends on you and your enjoyment.

Your knowledge of lifestyle and weight management would be beneficial to you as you get older. In general, lifestyle should be your focus. Knowing your weight and how to manage it, coupled with participation in active recreational activities would make you a healthier individual. However, take note that making significant cuts in food intake in order to lose weight and body fat could be a difficult strategy to maintain; focusing on increased physical activity is a better approach for many people.

A lifestyle based on good choices and healthy practices maximizes the quality of life. It helps you avoid diseases, remain strong and fit, and maintain your physical and mental health. One of the most important practices is being physically active.

People of all ages benefit from regular physical activity. Significant health benefits can be obtained by engaging in moderate amounts of physical activity on most, if not all days of the week. Through a modest increase in daily activity, most individuals can improve their health and quality of life. Additional health benefits can be gained through greater amounts of physical activity. Individuals who can maintain a regular regimen of a more vigorous or a longer-duration activity are likely to obtain even greater benefits.

Lifestyle physical activity

Moderate exercise program

Vigorous exercise program

Participation in regular moderate physical activity can lead to improved physical fitness. It is a condition whereby the systems of the body are able to function at their optimal efficiency, associated with an individual’s ability to work effectively, to enjoy leisure time, to be healthy, to resist disease, and to respond easily to emergency situations.

Regular moderate physical activity means engaging in relatively vigorous bodily movement for 30 minutes to 1 hour that can elevate your heart rate. “Regular” here refers to being active in most, if not all days of the week. About 3 to 4 times per week or more are the recommended times of exercise for an individual. You may opt to have rest days or easy days in between to allow your body to recover from the physical exertion.

To know if the amount of effort exerted during physical activity will be beneficial

to you, the FITT formula should be kept in mind. FITT stands for:Frequency (how often) – number of training sessions that are performed

during a given period (usually one week)Intensity (how hard) – an individual’s level of effort, compared with their

maximal effort, which is usually expressed as a percentage

Time (how long) – duration of a workout (including warm-up and cool-down) or the length of time spent in training

Type – mode of physical activity

For example, you are used to leisurely walking for 20 minutes from your home to school and back from Monday to Friday. Applying the FITT formula would entail the following adjustments in your physical activity for it to become more than your usual practice, such as increasing the intensity of your pace to moderate or vigorous and decreasing the amount of time to do it.

Your usual More than your usual

Frequency5x/wk (Monday-Friday)2x/day (home-school;

school-home)

5x/wk (Monday-Friday)2x/day (home-school; school-home)

Intensity easy (leisurely pace) Moderate to vigorous (moderate to fast pace)Time 20 minutes 13 minutesType walking brisk walking

Changing from your “usual” to “more than your usual” does not necessarily mean changing everything in the FITT formula. Frequency can be retained but intensity is elevated; or both can be slightly adjusted but time is increased; or type ischanged to a more challenging one. Remember, changing your FITT formula should


24

DEPED COPY

be done gradually to give your body time to adjust to the demands you place on it.

When your body is challenged to do more than what it is used to , changes in your body start to occur. If the physical activity is too easy for your body, changes, if any, would be minimal. Hence, your body should be challenged and more effort should be exerted.

One way to gauge this is through the Rate of Perceived Exertion or RPE. It is an assessment of the intensity of exercise based on how the participant feels. It is basically a subjective assessment of effort which ranges from 6 (very, very light) to 20 (very, very hard) with 1 point increment in between. The target zone for aerobic activity is from 12 to 16.

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)Rating Description Rating Description

6 147 Very, very light 15 Hard8 169 Very light 17 Very hard10 1811 Fairly light 19 Very, very hard1213 Somewhat hard 20

Remember, if you find the activity as “very, very light” (7) to about “fairly light” (11), you need to increase the intensity of your physical activity to reach “somewhat hard” (13), depending on your goal. You can also increase frequency and time, or change the type. However, if you find the activity as “very hard” (17) to “very, very hard” (19), you might want to check your FITT formula. Remember, health promotion does not mean exhaustion or risking yourself of getting injuries.

Physical fitness tests are also good gauges of your fitness level. Health-related and skill-related components are tested to determine points of improvement of an individual. Health-related components are those that contribute to the development of health and functional capacity of the body. These include cardiovascular strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Skill-related components on the other hand are those components that contribute to the development of skills. These include agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed.

Here are just some of the components of physical fitness:•Cardiovascular endurance - the ability of an individual to perform prolonged

work continously, where the work involves large muscle groups (Fahey, Insel, and Ruth 2007)

•Agility - ability to start (or accelerate), stop (or decelerate and stabilize), and change direction quickly, while maintaining posture

•Coordination - ability to perform complex motor skills with a smooth, flow of motion

Good physical fitness is important because it contributes directly to the physical component of good health and wellness, and indirectly to the other components. Good fitness has been shown to be associated with reduced risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, and has been shown to reduce the consequences of many debilitating conditions.

Factors affecting physical fitness include age, gender, heredity, nutrition, activity and disability, among others. These factors affect physical fitness in varying degrees since they are relative to the individual. For instance, if you eat ample amounts of food regularly, your fitness level will likely be higher than somebody who does not get enough nutrients on a regular basis. The same can be said with somebody who is very active compared with somebody who is very sickly.

Participating in regular physical activities should be enjoyable to be able to make you continue doing it. Reasons for participating and dropping out from the activity depend on the individual; that is why it is important to know what your reasons for participating are so that dropping out can be avoided. Some reasons for participating include: the thrill and excitement of competition; desire to succeed or win and/or be good at something; a sense of personal accomplishment; enjoyment in playing and mastering new skills; socialization or being with others; challenge limits; release of stress and frustration; improvement of self-image, self-confidence, and appearance; improvement of health, wellness, and fitness levels; and prevention of disease.

Activity: Shuttle ‘MintonFor this volleyball-like lead-up game, you will need a racket for each

player and one birdie. Form two teams, with 6-9 players each. The objective of the game is hit the birdie over the net to the other team’s boundaries. A team is allowed to hit the birdie up to three times while on its side before it goes over the net. Note that the same player may not hit the birdie twice in a row. The serving team will score when the other team cannot return the birdie legally and within the serving team’s boundaries. However, if the serving team fails to return the birdie to the other team, that specific play is over and the other team is up to serve. Set a limit of points at the beginning of the game. The first team to reach this number of points is the winner.

Injury Prevention and Risk Management

The most common table tennis injury is very similar to standard tennis injuries. Sprained ankles, tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis are just three of the more frequent table tennis injuries.

Table tennis is a non-contact sport but injuries are often acquired when athletes suddenly change direction or twist their body quickly, leading to pulled muscles and other injury problems. Players who do not warm up properly or stretch their muscles before taking to the table also put themselves at a high risk of injury.

(www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/table-tennis.php)

Activity: Table Tennis Ten Pin

Set up 10 targets fairly close together at the end of the table. Group 3 players for each team and assign them the following tasks: 1 hitter, 1 fielder at the back and 1 fielder in front, who is in charge of returning the ball to the hitter. The hitter feeds the ball and hits it over the net aiming it at the targets. Each target hit scores one point. Take turns in keeping score. Each player has 10 balls to use to score as many points as possible. Replace or re-set targets and change hitters and fielders.

Tennis injuries are generally defined as either cumulative (overuse) or acute (traumatic) injuries. These injuries occur over time due to stress on the muscles, joints, and soft tissues without proper time for healing. They begin as a small, nagging ache or pain, and can grow into a debilitating injury if they aren’t treated early.

Many sports injuries result from overuse, lack of proper rest, lack of proper warm uip or poor conditioning. Safety precautions are recommended to help prevent tennis injuries like warming up thoroughly prior to play, wearing the right tennis shoes with skid-resistant soles, using good technique in the different tennis movements, cleaning of courts before play to check for slippery spots or debris, getting adequate rest and time for recovery after each play, and staying hydrated.

Activity: Bucket Game

Five buckets, bins, or containers are placed in various locations on each side of the net. The participating players each stand on their respective baselines. The first player tries to hit 10-20 balls into any of the buckets accross the net. If the ball does not cross the net or does not land into the buckets, it is added to the balls that the other player will use. After all balls are hit, those balls that don’t land in any of the buckets are given to the other player, who in turn will try to hit the balls into the buckets across the net.

When all the balls are in the buckets, they are counted and the player who gets the most balls into his opponent’s buckets wins.

If you use too much effort in pitching the ball, or continuously pitch without rest, a serious elbow or shoulder injury may be on the horizon. If you complain of elbow or shoulder pain the day after pitching, or movement of the joint is painful or restricted compared to the opposite side, see a a physician familiar with youth sports injuries. Warm up properly by stretching, running, and easy, gradual pitching. Emphasize control, accuracy, and good mechanics. Do not play all year-round. Your body needs to recover from the physical demands of playing.

Activity: Base Running-Catch-Stealing Base Game

Three markers are used as bases. Three players stand near the markers while another player is positioned away from the 3 markers and is the designated hitter. The hitter has to hit the ball with a bat to any of the players positioned in the 3 bases. As the player nearest the ball catches it, they all run to steal a base. The player who fails to steal a base will be the hitter in the next round.

Injuries occur during football/soccer games and practice due to the combination of high speed and full contact. While overuse injuries can occur, traumatic injuries such as concussions are most common. The force applied to either bringing an opponent to the ground or resisting being brought to the ground makes football/soccer players prone to injury anywhere on their bodies, regardless of protective equipment.

Activity: Partner Soccer Score

Partners stand 6-8 meters apart, facing each other. At the signal, one partner will attempt to shoot the ball between their partners’ outstretched legs. They also must retrieve the ball and go back to the starting point to shoot the ball again. This goes on within a minute, afterwhich they switch roles. Whoever scores the most goals in one minute wins, and assigns a task for the non-winner to perform. Variation can be done using teams instead of individuals.

Activity: Dribble Tag

This game is played on a hard court. Select 4 players to be “it” and give them a basketball each. Their objective is to tag other players who are scattered on the court while dribbling the ball. The players who are tagged must get a new ball and also become “it.” Once the majority of students have been tagged, start the game over by selecting new players to be “it”.

Injury Prevention and Risk Management Since volleyball involves repetitive overhead motions, such as spiking and blocking, players are prone to overuse injuries of the shoulder. In addition, volleyball players are particularly susceptible to finger injuries, ankle sprains, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and patellar tendinitis. Usually injuries can be treated non-operatively with bracing and physical therapy, or home rehabilitation exercises. However, treatment can vary significantly depending on the injury. Recovery time usually depends on the injury.

Activity: Catch, Toss, Set and OverThe class will be divided into groups of 4-6 students each. The teacher

tosses a ball to one team wherein the first contact must catch it. The person who catches the ball tosses it towards a player near the net (preferably in the middle). That person volleys (or bumps) the ball along the net to another player who then plays the ball over towards the other team and within the scoring area. The process is then repeated for the second team. If the ball falls or if the second player catches the ball, that team must leave the floor and the next team enters the court.

Participation in sports-related recreational activities is one of the best ways of achieving a healthy lifestyle. Participation can either be recreational or competitive. The important thing to keep in mind is that regular moderate participation in such activities will help improve your health.

READINGSMODIFYING EATING HABITS

The active life is a magnet that attracts a composite of behaviors or habits, that when viewed one at a time, seems too simplistic to be valued. However, eating and our body’s response to eating are some of the most intriguing concepts in health.

Eating is an intentional act. Each day people choose from the available food, prepare the food, decide where to eat, which rules to follow, and with whom to dine with. These make up your eating habits. Convenience is only one factor that drives food choices. Some of the other factors are:

Advertising: Media might have persuaded you to eat such food.Availability: There are no others to choose from.Economy: They are within your means.Emotional comfort: They make you feel better for a while.Habit: They are familiar; you always eat them.Personal preference: You like the way such food taste.Positive associations: They are eaten by people you admire, or they are just for fun.Region/location: They are common or favored in your locality.Social pressure: They are offered; you feel you cannot refuse them.Values/beliefs: They fit your religious traditions, or honor your ethical beliefs.Weight: You think they will help to control body weight.Nutritional value: You think they are good for you.

The last two factors are highly viable to nutritional health. Similarly, the choice of where, as well as what to eat, is often based more on social considerations than on nutritional judgments. Hence, you should be more conscious of the factors that affect your own personal food choices.

Poor food choices contribute directly to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other health problems. Understanding the importance of food choices becomes even more critical as a greater number of people rely more on convenience food, take-out meals, and eating out. Poor diet coupled with lack of exercise contributes to an increased risk of diseases.

MODIFYING EATING HABITS

A modification in your eating habits is needed most especially when you are at risk of disease. Small and simple changes like adding more fruits to your diet can make a difference in your health. However, some situations may need major changes in one’s lifestyle. Some of the strategies in changing eating habits include making a plan and sticking to it.

Eating habits can be modified according to the nutritional recommendations for Filipinos by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI). Bearing in mind these recommendations help ensure proper diet especially the changes being experienced as your body matures. Your eating habits should revolve around these recommendations to become healthier. Remember, your nutritional needs should not be neglected as you participate in active recreational activities. More attention on nutritional needs is necessary to energize your body and help your body recover as well.

Compute the recommended number of calories you should burn using FNRI’s Energy Calculator to find out what physical activities you need to do to burn these calories. Take note that in order to manage your weight well, you should give importance to both physical activity and nutrition. That is why you should take note of the calories you need to burn and the physical activities you can participate in to burn these calories.
