When I learned that heart disease is prevalent among women, I was very surprised. I would have thought that cancer would be the number one killer among women because you here more about breast and cervical cancer in women. The unhealthy lifestyle that we live is definitely a very common factor that contributes to heart disease in women.
I feel that academic institutions can promote more physical activities on the campus. Some of the activities that can be promoted are boot camps, intramural sports, physical activity competitions, aerobics classes, more advertisements of personal training, and campaigns about getting fit. I feel that if they did a voluntary campus studies and physical assessments among the students that many students will realize that their physical fitness as well as diet relates to the development of heart disease. I believe that heart disease information sessions can be successful in educating people about the seriousness of this deadly disease.
Heart disease does not run in my family, but anyone can develop this disease. I am currently working on developing a healthier lifestyle. I hope to change my diet and physical activity so that I can reduce the chances of developing heart disease. We should all be aware of this disease and take it seriously.

I agree that a good variety of physical activites would benefit academic institutions. They also need to think about the food offerings at the colleges and schools. Colleges close their cafeterias so early that students almost have to choose fast food.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that many different physical activities would benefit students, men and women. As most freshman are young and not aware of all the health problems that can occur later in life. Most do not understand proper nutrition, as with most freshman, there are the freshman 15. Which shows that 15 pounds in a year is not healthy, especially from poor eating habits. Knowledge is the key to success for everyone to develop healthy lifestyles, that they can use all through their lives.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I am also working on developing a healthier lifestyle. I'm 23 years old have never really taken my health into consideration until recently. I think it's very important that women our age begin practicing a healthy lifestyle to prevent future health problems along the road.
