SCI 215 Final Project Rough Draft JuBeshia Loveberry Southern New Hampshire University SCI-215 Contemporary Health October 1, 2023
Physical health is how well your body functions and how you care for it. It affects your well- being, disease risk, mental health, and ability to do everyday activities. Physical health is essential for my age because it can improve my brain health, help manage weight, reduce disease risk, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve my quality of life. I will discuss my plan of action to optimize my health and improve my chances of enjoying good health as I age. I am a seven-year breast cancer survivor and have had a problem with my weight. Many think I look great but don't always feel great and have problems climbing three flights of stairs to my office. There are several things that I can do to get a hold of my physical health. Innovative dietary choices and exercise programs for physical and mental health can help you prevent excess weight gain, lower your risk of chronic diseases, improve your mood and energy, and enhance your sleep quality. There are so many different diet plans out there, and I have tried them all. The diet plan I have chosen is the Ketogenic diet plan. "The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits. The ketogenic diet involves consuming a meager amount of carbohydrates and replacing them with fat to help your body burn fat for energy. Health benefits include weight loss and lowering your risk for certain diseases" (Mawer, 2020). I have to exercise physically more. I enjoyed exercising. I had a routine for over a year until I hurt my ankle. There are exercises that I can do that will take the strain off of the ankle. Some full-body exercises that take the pressure off the ankles are Towel Scrunches, Deficit Calf Raises, Clamshells, and Side Lying Leg Raises. The plan is to start with fifteen minutes a day and work my way up to forty-five minutes daily.
Life, especially recently, has been very stressful for me and the people around me. There are many ways to improve happiness and sleep habits. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, my son was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer in 2018, my daughter was shot and now is paralyzed from the waist down in 2019, my brother was hurt in an ATV accident in 2020, left with nerve damage, and my father died in December 2021. I was placed on a low-dose antidepressant and continued to worship God. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood, and health. It also supports growth, development, immunity, and weight management. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults get at least seven hours of sleep each night for proper cognitive and behavioral functions. I was only getting about four to five hours of sleep a night. Between work, school, and family, more hours need to be in the day. It isn't that I wouldn't be lying down my mind just wonders. I started listening to white noise on YouTube, which relaxes me and allows me to get more sleep. I will be at seven or more hours a night in six months. Since I have been in school, my social life has been less active. My daughter and best friend say, "When I am asked to do something, I always say that I have schoolwork." I promised them that after graduation, I would make up for it. Improving existing relationships and building new ones is an integral part of my social health. Social health is the aspect of overall well-being that stems from connection and community. It’s about having close bonds with family and friends, enjoying belonging to groups, and feeling supported, valued, and loved. My mom didn't raise me, so our relationship isn't what I want, but it is better than it has been. I have invited her on small road trips with my daughter and me. We attend the same church, and through that, we both have a spiritual connection with God, improving our relationship daily.
