## SLMQ1SHSHOPE ### Exercise, Aerobic, Muscle-strengthening, and Bone-strengthening Activity * Exercise: "planned, structured, repetitive bodily movements that someone engages in for the purpose of improving or maintaining physical fitness or health" * Aerobic: "endurance activities, are physical activities in which people move their large muscles in a rhythmic manner for a sustained period" * Muscle-Strengthening: "resistance training and lifting weights, causes the body's muscles to work or hold against an applied force or weight" * Bone-Strengthening: "weight-bearing or weight-loading activity, produces a force on the bones that promote bone growth and strength" ### Barriers to Physical Activities 1.

Weather Conditions ### Eating Habits The term eating habits (or food habits) refers to why and how people eat, which foods they eat, and with whom they eat, as well as the ways people obtain, store, use, and discard food. Individual, social, cultural, religious, economic, environmental, and political factors all influence people's eating habits. ### Influences on Food Choices * **Personal Preferences:** Each individual has unique likes and dislikes concerning foods. These preferences develop over time and are influenced by personal experiences such as encouragement to eat, exposure to a food, family customs and rituals, advertising, and personal values. * **Cultural:** A cultural group provides guidelines regarding acceptable foods, food combinations, eating patterns, and eating behaviors. Compliance with these guidelines creates a sense of identity and belonging for the individual. * **Social:** Members of a social group depend on each other, share a common culture, and influence each other's behaviors and values. A person's membership in particular peer, work, or community groups impacts food behaviors. * **Religious:** Religious proscriptions range from a few to many, from relaxed to highly restrictive. This will affect a follower's food choices and behaviors. * **Economic:** Money, values, and consumer skills affect what a person buys. The price of a food, however, is not an indicator of its nutritional value. Cost is a complex combination of a food's availability, status, and demand. * **Environmental:** The influence of the environment on food habits derives from a composite of ecological and social factors. Foods that are commonly and easily grown within a specific region frequently become a part of the local cuisine.
