“INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATION “MAN DOES NOT DIE, HE  KILLS HIMSELF”  Seneca’s adage Despite the proven benefits of exercise, more than 50% of American adults do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. 25% of adults are not active at all in their leisure time. Activity decreases with age and less common among women than men and among those with lower income and less education.  Given the health benefits of regular exercise, we might have ask to ask why 28% of the Filipinos are overweight, which one of the causes is not participating in regular exercise. Furthermore, 60% are not physically active at recommended levels. These are barriers that keep Filipinos from being or becoming, regular physically active. Food and Nutrition Research Institute Department of Science and Technology  “We have the same kind of body as that created for ancient people-one designed for physical activity” ▪ Present Situation that leading us to sedentary lifestyle ▪ We live in an age of disposal products and containers ▪ The ordinary task of daily living no longer provide individuals with enough vigorous exercise to develop and maintain good muscle tone, recommended body weight or cardiovascular fitness.  ▪ We never been taught how to be responsible for own physical fitness. ▪ Our world no longer demands fitness. ▪ Our lives are far more likely to be imperiled by our own conduct ▪ Modern machines and technologies hold people in captive idleness. ▪ Diseases of Choices ▪ Many people ate older than their would indicate.  ▪ EXERCISE – It is often used as the general term. Whereas, it has a specific meaning. Specific exercise must be utilized for special purposes such as improving physical fitness and reduces the risk of developing different heart diseases. The types of Exercise Exercises are generally group into three types depending on the overall effect they have on human body: Flexibility/Stretching exercises improve the range of motion of muscles and joints.  Aerobics  / cardiovascular exercises – such as cycling, walking, running, hiking and playing tennis, focus on cardio vascular endurance.  Anaerobic/Strengthening Exercises- such as weight training, functional training, or sprinting increase short muscle strength. Sometimes terms dynamic and static are used. Dynamic exercise such as steady running tend o produce lowering of the diastolic blood pressure during exercise.   Facts and figures in PF Problem ▪ 1. More thank 50 % of the deaths results from cardiovascular disease. Many of which are associated with obesity and inactivity. ▪ 2. Obesity is a major health hazard. ▪ 3. The common backache, far less dramatic than a heart attack is usually a result of physical degeneration. ▪ 4. Chronic tiredness is one of the frequently heard complaints of modern life.   Basic health practices that were found to contribute to longevity ▪ 1.

Includes breakpast cereals, rice, pasta, fruit. Starchy vegetables such as potato and sweet corn, legumes and low fat milk and yogurt.  ▪ REFINED CARBOHYDRATES- examples are sugar, sweet spread jam and honey, soft drinks and ;low fat milk ice cream. ▪ HIGH FAT CARBOHYDRATES- which are rich fat includes full fat milk, chocolates, crisps and chips cakes and reach dessert. ▪ PROTIEN – is essential for normal growth and development, plays a vital role in the repair and recovery of damage tissues (such as muscles) and acts as fuel source during exercise, especially when carbohydrates stores are reduced.   ▪ FLUID – ▪ HINTS FOR INCREASING FLUID INTAKE ▪ 1. Do not rely on thirst as indicator of fluid needs. ▪ 2. Have drinks readily accessible. ▪ 3. Avoid drinking excessive amount of containing drinks. ▪ 4. Develop good drinking practices in training. ▪ 5. Water is suitable for exercise lasting 60 to 90 minutes. ▪ 6. Schedule a regular drink breaks into training sessions.  BALANCING ACT- Weight loss and weight gain are matter of balancing food intake with daily energy demands. When the body is in energy balance- that is energy consumed is equal to energy expenditure.
