Whole Foods vs. Processed Foods TASK- Write down everything that you ate and drank yesterday. What would you change and why? "When you eat junk food you think junk thoughts." — Michael Bernard Beckwith Engaging in a Healthy Lifestyle There are two primary reasons we become unhealthy: •We do not deliver enough nutrients for our cells to operate properly. •Our cells are bombarded with too many toxins. 11.1 Taking Care of Your Physical Health What is healthy eating? What You Drink ● Most of your blood and every cell in your body is composed of water. ● Water makes up 60 to 80 percent of our entire body mass. ● Drink a large glass of water first thing in the morning. Your body becomes a little dehydrated as you sleep. 1 pound (lb) ½ kilogram (kg)= 3500 calories! How to Read a Food Label -Figure 11.3 This label displays the key nutritional information about a common container of fruit salad. Though fruit is generally healthy, be aware of the amount of calories and sugars, and particularly the serving size to which those amounts are tied.

How to Read a Food Label -Figure 11.3 APPS FOR TRACKING What about your exercise habits? How much exercise did you get this week? (This can be in the form of walking/steps, any kind of sport, dancing, etc….. Or anything that gets your heart rate up!) How Fit are You? Exercise There are three basic types of exercise —flexibility, strength training, and cardiovascular. Flexibility is the range in motion of the joints in your body, or the ability for your muscles to move freely. Without adequate flexibility, daily activities can become difficult to do. Stretching increases your body’s flexibility, improves circulation, and sends more blood to your muscles. Just a few minutes a day of deep stretching can have a powerfully positive impact on your health. Yoga Exercise Strength is the body’s ability to produce force. Strength training helps improve muscle strength and muscle mass, which will become increasingly important as you age. Increased muscle helps your body burn calories more efficiently. Strength training also helps maintain bone strength. In addition to lifting weights, other ways to build strength include push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, and yoga. (Recommended 3-5 Exercise Cardiovascular is the body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently during exercise. As one’s ability to use oxygen improves, daily activities can be performed with less fatigue. Great cardiovascular modes of exercise include jogging, swimming, biking, and HIIT (high intensity interval training). HIIT is short bursts of intense activity followed by a rest period. With HIIT, you can squeeze a lot of THE WORKOUT ROUTINE- WHAT’S YOUR GOAL? The frequency, duration, and intensity of exercise are helpful terms to consider when deciding on an exercise regimen. • Frequency: How often will you do the activity—once a day, three times a week, twice a month? • Duration: How long is the exercise session—20 minutes, 1 hour, 30 minutes split into two sessions in one day? • Intensity: How much energy is needed—light versus vigorous activity, 3 METs versus 6 METs?
