are making healthy choices?

Personal health choices are decisions you
make about physical activity, good nutrition,
positive personal relationships, and positive
attitudes toward yourself and others. They are
important because all your daily personal
choices affect your health. In this lesson you
will examine standards for good health. It is
hoped that the knowledge you gain will help
you to make wise decisions about your
personal health and wellness.
Health choices affect you in the following three
Emotional health
ways:
Physical health is
your body’s ability
to handle your
daily activities.
Physical health
allows you to do
things without
getting tired or ill.
is your ability to
deal with the
people and events
in your daily life.
It affects your
feelings and how
you react to
others.
Intellectual health
is your ability to
think about what
happens to you on
a daily basis. It
involves how you
learn and how you
solve problems and
make decisions

Many individuals and organizations work to
promote good health. For example,
Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating suggests
choices to promote healthy eating habits.
Many programs encourage people to stay
physically active in their daily lives.
Health professionals advise getting the proper
amount of sleep needed to maintain energy.
These standards become a measure by which you
can make choices about your personal health and
wellness.

The real question is…..what am I snacking on?
Choose healthier options between 100-200
calories. You are generally allowed 2 snacks
per day in between meals.
Snacking is good……

This is what a total daily
average intake should
look like:
60% - Carbohydrates
20 – 30 % Fat
(ONLY 10% should be
Saturated Fat)
10-20% Protein
Although eating too much fat can lead to obesity and health
problems, our bodies do need some fat every day. Fats are an
important source of energy and provide insulation and
cushioning for the skin, bones, and internal organs. Fat also
distributes and helps the body store certain vitamins.
Some fats are better than others. Unsaturated fats, which are
found in vegetable oils, nuts, and fish, are often called "good
fats." That's because they don't raise cholesterol levels like
saturated fats and trans fats do. Both saturated and trans fats
are considered "bad" because they can increase a person's risk
for developing heart disease. These types of fat are solid at
room temperature (picture them clogging your arteries).
Saturated fats usually come from animal products like cheese,
meats, and ice cream.
This amount covers all carbohydrates, including fiber
and sugar. The best sources of carbohydrates are
fruits and vegetables, along with whole-grain
foods like cereals, breads, pasta, and brown rice.
Most of your daily calorie intake should come
from carbohydrates.
Sugars are found in most foods. When a food contains
lots of sugar, the calories can add up quickly. Soda,
snack foods and other foods that are high in added
sugar are considered "empty calories" because they
usually don't offer a lot of other nutrients.

Most of the body — including muscles, skin,
and the immune system — is made up of
protein. If the body doesn't get enough fat and
carbohydrates, it can use protein for energy. So
be sure the foods you eat give you some
protein.

• sex appeal—This approach implies that others will find you more appealing if
you use the product.
• snob appeal—This approach connects a product to a desirable lifestyle. It is
designed to make people think that the product makes them distinctive.
• appeal to tradition—This technique tries to boost consumer confidence by
emphasizing longevity. For example, the manufacturer says to the consumer,
“We have made the best product for over one hundred years.”
• celebrity testimonial—This method associates a product with a famous or
respected person such as a movie star, athlete, singer, or corporate executive.
Since the celebrity likes the product, you should too.
• appeal to excellence—This gimmick closely relates to snob appeal. You’re
supposed to think that this product is the best and only the best is good
enough for you.
• loaded words—This gimmick uses words such as New! Fantastic! Gorgeous!
• bandwagon—This technique asks that you follow the crowd. Everybody’s
doing it! And no one likes to be different. It is effective with people who don’t
want to stand out.
