6 lifetsyle choices
Diet, activity level, work/rest/sleep balance, recreational drugs, smoking and alcohol
Diet
Getting the right energy balance is important. To maintain our body weight the number of calories in your diet should be the same as the number of calories used through metabolic processes and physical activity.
Activity levels
Your activity level has a huge impact on your health and fitness. The most important factor here is choice. Choosing to be active or not.
Work rest sleep
However, try not to exercise too late as this will have the opposite effect and mean you’re to energised to sleep because of the release of serotonin and endorphins.
Rest is also an important aspect of training as it allows your body time to recover and adapt.
Rec drugs
Legal drugs include caffeine found in tea, coffee and energy drinks, nicotine from smoking and ethanol more commonly known as alcohol. Even though each of these have a negative impact on our bodies or our behaviour and accepted to some extent in society.
Illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine, LSD, amphetamines, ecstasy and cannabis are not accepted in society. These drugs have negative and harmful effects and can be highly dangerous.
Smoking
The addictive ingredient in cigarettes is nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant that raises alertness. As nicotine is an addictive drug the longer someone smokes for the more addicted they become.
Alcohol
While caffeine is a stimulant which makes you more alert, alcohol is a depressant it slows your reactions down and alters the way you see, hear, move, and respond to things. A small amount of alcohol can make you feel more relaxed and less anxious. Larger amounts causes greater change in your brain and make you ‘drunk’.
Positive lifestyle choices - the benefits
thy lifestyle offers two types of benefits – things people want to gain, for example increased mobility, and things people want to prevent, for example becoming overweight which may result in longer term health issues. People are often motivated more by gains than by prevention. Benefits may be immediate and long-term.
