How do I start an essay evaluating my health/physical fitness?
It's for a health project, its about what we learned from the project about our caloric intake/output, how physically fit we are, and our diet. I have no clue how to start this.How do I start an essay evaluating my health/physical fitness?I'd start by mentioning the holistic approach to health, which means that one isn't entirely healthy unless they have balance within their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being, with a quick explanation of what that means. Then I'd give a basic overview of my findings, i.e what my intake/output was, how fit I am, what my diet is like, and how I tested these things. I'd then split these up into categories, and do a paragraph on each. As I go through each paragraph, I would discuss what I'm doing currently, what affect this currently has on my health, why I'm doing what I'm doing, what may be affecting my choices, and how I can improve my overall health. So, for example, I might say that my caloric intake is 3200 calories and my caloric output is 2100 calories (these are just two numbers off the top of my head). I would then say what affect this has, so if my caloric intake is higher than caloric output, I put on weight, which makes me feel bad about myself and affects emotional health. I might suggest why my caloric intake is higher than my output, such as not exercising enough, or eating or drinking high calorie things too often. I would then say that my choices may be affected by the availability of food, what I can afford, time restraints etc. I would finish this off by saying that I could improve my calorie intake/output by doing more exercise, or by replacing some high calorie foods with lower calorie alternatives. I would do this for each paragraph.How do I start an essay evaluating my health/physical fitness?I just turned in a report for my Nutrition's class in college and it was kinda like what your doing. We had to write down what we ate for 3-days and the nutritional facts (total fat, calories, sugars, etc.) and tell what deficiencies or excess is in each of the following facts that may affect us. It really helped me out and that I need to exercise more. If you start out by explaining what you eat and how often you exercise, that will show how much you need to improve and it shows your interested in the project. Use words such as "I need to eat more ____ because it reduces the risk of certain diseases. I also need to exercise at least ____ minutes a day." Just the small stuff like that. That's all I know on how you can start it. Hope this helps!
