William Kormas, an editor for Harvard Men’s Health Watch, promotes a moderation consumption of red meat because there are studies that show that red meat is often linked to heart disease and cancer. Thus, sticking to a moderate red meat and vegetable diet is a safe and healthy alternative to a heavily red meat depended diet. Unlike red meat, vegetables only come with beneficial nutrition that promotes weight loss and lowering the risk of diseases. There are only positive effects to consuming vegetables; therefore, the advantages of removing or decreasing red meat consumption should remain an incentive in a healthy diet and more importantly, reducing carbon
A few months ago I joined Weight Watchers after a friend of mine lost a lot of weight; she was my dinner partner for a lot of years. After being friends for at least 15 years I started to notice that she started speaking differently and acting differently when we would chat on the phone. Although I was happy for my friend, she was becoming like a stranger to me. She would talk about these meetings and the exercise that was now doing, and of course the wonderful food that she was making. She kept telling me that I should check into it because it changed her life.
My Health Habits Compare to the recommendations from the Canadian Food Guide (2011), I need to increase my grain products and vegetables/fruits intake, and eat less milk/alternatives and meat/alternatives. In two week period, daily I had average 5.9 guide servings of grain products, 6.2 guide servings of vegetables/fruits, 2.1 guide servings of milk/alternatives and 2.8 guide servings of meat/alternatives. I had average 7.1 hours of sleep each night, which fulfilled the minimum of recommendation. It would be beneficial if I sleep longer at night. I completed more than three hours of moderate- to vigorous- aerobic physical activity at the first week, and around two hours of moderate aerobic physical activity at the second week in this two week period.
One way I intend to do to balance my diet is to plan my meals for the week in advance instead of deciding what to consume on a day to day bases. By doing this, I can better analyze what I plan to eat, and make sure that I am consuming adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and lean proteins. Balancing my diet and consuming more plant-based nutrition will lower my consumption of foods higher in fat and sugar, which will reduce my chances of being affected by
This Wellness Recovery Action Plan I have already partially implemented and will begin to implement the remainder as soon as possible. The nutritional section of this plan has been implemented for the past year, and plan to continue with the Daily Food Diary (Davis et al., 2008), as shown in Appendix D. On Exercising, I will begin in May or June when the semester is over and my son is out of school to free a little more of my time schedule as shown in Appendix C, Diary of Opportunities To Exercise (Davis et al., 2008). Finally, coping with stress is going to be and has been a challenge in the areas I scored high as shown in Appendix B Schedule of Recent Experience (Weitian et al., 2009).
You Can Accomplish Whatever You Want To Accomplish I believe that anyone can accomplish whatever they want to accomplish, as long as they put in the effort and time into that one thing. I am talking about things like sports, art, education, and many other things. You just have to believe in yourself, and tell yourself that you can do it. Some people tell themselves that they can 't do it, but they have to think positive.
The last year of high school was the toughest time of my life, because I got married, had a son and got a divorce. In addition, of being a new mother; my husband moved me away from all help and support. During that year, he made sure that he knew where I was and what I was always doing, especially if I was to go to my mother’s house or shopping with her. After I graduated in 2007, he then allowed me to see my family more but only on his terms. It wasn’t till that July when he kicked me and our son out of our house.
My strive for perfection was dismantling me. It started with small things that eventually spiraled out of control. I began to take hours before deciding what clothes to wear, only to put on one of the same three outfits I always wore. I wouldn’t let anyone else use my pencils out of fear that they would turn my perfect eraser into a rubber shaped dome. Decisions became too hard to make and mistakes to me were worse than having a group of sharks slowly tear apart my body.

I could feel the grip my old lifestyle had on me loosen up, and my mind transcended my previous beliefs. I have become accustomed to this new lifestyle that it inspired me to pursue an everlasting goal of personal fitness. I felt my body shift gears as I focused on avoiding that type of food, and putting a variety of new and healthy foods in my path. Natural sugars, such as fruit replaced the all the candy and chips. Broccoli and salads and an extreme amount of chicken breast replaced my fast food meals.
