Personal Health and Well-being
- LINK BETWEEN EXERCISE, DIET, WORK AND REST
- Diet is one of the factors that contributes to a
healthy lifestyle and general well-being
- The energy equation - the more physical work we do, the
more energy we need to complete it. Food contains
calories, which are used within the body to release
energy for physical activity
- Sports performers will use more calories than
those who do not exercise and so they can afford
to consume more food for energy
- Athletes must ensure that
Energy IN = Energy OUT
- work provides finance and opportunity -
exercise provides fitness to work and enjoy life -
rest allows us to recover and improve
- all FOUR need to be done in moderation and
combined for a health, active lifestyle
- DIET
- It is very important to eat a balanced diet
- Macronutrients (nutrients required in large quantities)
- carbohydrates (starchy foods such
as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta)
- fats (dairy products, fatty meat, sweets)
- protein (fish, eggs, meat and beans)
- saturated (HDL) bad, can be
converted into cholesterol by the
liver. This leads to high blood
cholesterol and increases the
likeliness of heart attack
- unsaturated (LDL)
good, these are foods
like nuts, salmon and
olives
- there are simple carbs (high
glycaemic) and complex carbs
(low glycaemic)
