There are many substances that you can misuse like legal and illegal drugs, solvents, tobacco, smoking and excessive alcohol. Drug abuse can relate to many things. Smoking can smoking can cause Lung disease, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, Cancer, Heart disease, Hormonal problems. Smoking also relief’s stress. Smoking is very addictive and it can harm people around them. Alcohol is another type of substance which is misused. Many young people are experiencing the consequences of drinking too much, at too early an age. As a result, underage drinking is a leading health problem in this country. People misuse these drugs because of many reasons. It can be because of pear pressure, social isolation, family problems and many more. After taking large amounts and then stopping will have a major side affects on you. If you stop smoking you might be ill for couple of days because you body is used to the taking it and needs it.
Age is the length of time a person has lived. Old aged people are more likely to die than young children. This is because the body is week and has stopped growing. Young people have less chance of die because their body is young and is still growing.
Women tend to be more concerned about their health than men. Older people may see less point in changing their behaviour because they have less time left. Gender is between female and male. Age and gender can change people’s life. People sometimes depressed because they want to be young or old.
Peer pressure is when "friends" persuade you to doing something that you do not want to do. But maybe you want to do it, and you just don't have the courage to do it and your friends talk you into it. Peer Pressure can be broken down into two areas; good peer pressure and bad peer pressure as you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions. Peer pressure is when a persons changes. Because of peer pressure teenagers and teenagers might start to smoke, go on drugs etc. peer group and social peer is extremely important especially to young people who seek the approval of peer group. Social pressure can slowly cause a change in behaviour.

Factors affecting my person’s health.
Negative factor
Mr Person (Mr David) smokes. He smokes about 10 cigarettes a day. This is not good for his health because he can suffer from many diseases from it. Like cardiovascular dieses. This is when hardening of the arteries is a process that develops over years, when cholesterol and other fats deposit in the arteries, leaving them narrow, blocked or rigid. When the arteries narrow (atherosclerosis), blood clots are likely to form. These diseases can take many years to form. Smoking can cause cancer in David body. Smoking calms you down but keep you unhealthy. This means you will not be able to run because you will be out of breath quickly. Smoking is also expensive because David has to buy cigarettes regularly. Smoking also makes you teeth colour change to yellow. Smoking makes you stay smelly. This means if he goes near to people he will smell of smoke. Smoking causes people to lose their taste buds. This is when people can’t taste food they eat. They will say there is no taste to the food. Smoking will also affect David family. This is because David family might never have smoked ever but they do not know they are passive smoking. This is when someone breathes in smoke from cigarette. When David smokes he takes in less oxygen into the body. if David were to stop smoking he will have less chance of getting serious dieses and illness like gum dieses and bad breath, coughs and shortness of breath, colds and flu, mouth ulcers, high blood pressure and asthma attacks. In the long-term, breaking the habit reduces the chances of you suffering from: Stroke, Reduced vision, Mouth and throat cancer, Heart disease, Emphysema and bronchitis, Lung cancer, Stomach ulcers, Bladder cancer, Infertility. Smoking also costs money. As he smokes regularly he will be loosing a lot of money. This can draw him to not being able to pay for food, shelter and family care. He can also become homeless just for smoking. Davis also has a big family. He smokes in front of his wife, children, family and friends. Even if his family, relatives and friends don't smoke, they are passive smoking. Passing smoking is when you breathe in second hand smoke from smokers. Because of passive smoking his family friends can Eye irritation Headache Cough Sore throat Dizziness. Passive smoking will increase the chance of a non smoker dying earlier and developing of ling cancer and other types of dieses. David smokes because of personal problems. His wife cheated on him and he smokes to calm down and he is trying to forgive her. David also smokes because he feels better and relaxed. If Mr David didn't smoke he would have been fit and healthy. He will have a better chance of not getting cancer and other types of dieses. His family and friends would not have to passive smoke. This means that they will also be fit and healthy. They would have less chance of getting cancer and other types of dieses. Mr David smokes because he is stressed out and because of his wife cheated on him. This means if Mr David stops smoking he will be in lots of stress and he will have to find another solution so he doesn't become stressed out easily.
Negative factor
Mr David has a poor diet because he does not eat proper food daily with the proper nutrition’s. E.G. he doesn’t get enough iron, fluorine, calcium, phosphorous, iodine, sodium, zinc, potassium. He is not getting enough nutrients daily. He eats a lot of fatty food like pizza and burger. This is bad for him because he is getting too much salt, sugar, oil. Too much off these could lead to serious problem such as heart attack. David is not getting enough calcium. This is because he is not eating eggs and drinking milk. This means he will be weak.
This will make him have weak bones and make him have not strong teeth. He is not getting a lot of carbohydrate. This will mean he will not be energetic. He is not the daily nutrients daily for a man. Here are the daily nutrients for a man.
Nutrients daily recruitments
Carbohydrate 190g
Protein 37g
Lipid 100g
Vitamin c 30g
Iron 9g
Calcium 0.5g
David doesn’t have a balanced diet. This means eating the right food regularly.
Mr David doesn't have a balanced diet because he is at work most the time and he is smoking and his break and dinner. MR David can eat a Varity of food because there are lots to choose from. As MR David is a Muslim. He is allowed to eat certain food and he isn't allowed o eat certain food. He is allowed to eat foods that are Hallal. He isn't allowed to eat foods that are Haram. This is good because he isn't allowed to drink alcohol and any sort of drink that make you drunk. This means he has less chance of being drunk and he has less chance of doing stupid if he was drunk. He also has less chance of getting dieses caused by alcohol. In the other had he isn't allowed to eat certain types of meet like pork, pigs, tucker etc. he is allowed to eat these types of meat fish, chicken. In there other hand he can eat any type off food but he needs to watch out for what type of meet he eats. If Mr David had a good diet he would live more healthily, he would be fit and healthy. Balanced diet will make you feel good about your self. If he had a balanced diet he would have less chance of being obesity. He will have less chance of getting heart attack. With the balanced diet he would not need to be stressed out and for this he can stop smoking.
Negative factor
David doesn’t exercise a lot. This means he wont be able to help protect his heart from disease stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, back pain, osteoporosis. Not exercising will make a person more stressful. He mites get back pain. To prevent this happening he will have to strengthen his back muscle. He will need to exercise to take affect. If he exercises he will become fit and healthy. Regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Regular exercise is one of the best things you can do to prevent the bone weakening disease osteoporosis. Strength training exercises such as lifting weights or working with resistance tubes are particularly helpful. Also important are exercises that bear your body's weight, such as walking and jogging. If David were to exercise, it will help a lot in his life at the moment. He will feel much better about himself. He will feel more relaxed. As he is stressed out a lot and not getting a lot of sleep, exercising can help him get a better sleep. Exercise will also help his mind by being more peaceful. Exercising can also help him with his health issues like depression and self esteem. Exercising can make David see a better in him self. He will feel much more powerful. As my person is 42 by exercising he will luck better than before. When I asked MR David about exercising he said he tries to exercise but he gets bored and then quits. I think he should take a couple of his mates with him to exercise. This will give him some company and he shouldn't get bored. He should try taking a personal media player. He can listen to music while his exercising. This will make him not get bored. If MR David doesn't have time to exercise he can other for of exercise like cleaning windows, walking short distance instead of going with a car, not watch TV a lot move around more. Because Mr David smokes it will be hard for him to exercise. When he is exercising he will be out of breath quickly. This is one of the affect of smoking. So if Mr David stopped smoking it will be better for him. His heart and lungs will start recovering from all the smoking. This will give him more chance to exercise and he won’t have to be out of breath quickly. He can stay on for longer.
Positive factor
Mr David loves his job. He owns his own business. This is good for Mr David because he will be able to socialise and make new friends. He has a big family. His family can help him when he needs help. E.g. they can help him recover from any illness. They can help him if he needs help. His family can tell him to stop smoking. This is good for Mr David because he will be able relay on someone. Mr David has lots of mates. This is good for, Mr David because his mates will be able to help him like his family. Mr David loves being in control of his own business because he is in control. He is full of energy because he will be able to boss people around. Mr David sometimes feels tired after work. This is good for him because he knows he was working. Mr David business is quite near to where he lives. He usually drives a car to go to his business. As Mr David doesn't exercise a lot he can walk it to his business. This will be good for his heart. I think Mr David loves his job because he gets to forget about what his wife has done in the past and makes him think about the future and his future of his children. Mr David dreams is that his children will have a really good job that pays a good salary. He doesn't want them to work at places like a restaurant or salon. He wants to work at an office or office type work. Mr David earns a lot of money in his business. He earns about sixty thousand pound a year. This is really good because he gives his children an opportunity to go to a private school. He pays for his children education. I also think that his job influences him to do all of this. I think his love for his family made him forgive his wife and give her another chance. Mr David doesn't have any financial difficulties because he earns his living like other people and earns a lot on money doing this. I also think that his love for his family might make him stop smoking in the future.
Positive Factor
Mr David has a big family and he has really good friends. This influences him on him doing better at his job. He gets lost of support from his family and friends. His family help him with his business. His friends make sure he has a good time after work. He loves socialising so he always goes out with his mates after work. Sometimes he goes to the cinema, sometimes town on weekends. Mr David loves going on holiday with his family. If he can’t go on holiday he lets his family go on holiday. This makes him feel good for himself because he is letting other people have good time. Sometimes he goes on holiday with his mates. When he goes on holiday he knows he can rely on his family to look after his business. The neighbour hood he lives is good for his family. This is because there is no violent there and everyone in that neighbour hood respects each other and treat each other the same. This is good for Mr David family because they do not have to keep moving houses. Mr David owns the house because he bought of a friend of his. His neighbour hood is very supportive to him and his family. When Mr David or Mrs David got ill his neighbours used to look after his children and sometime Mr and Mrs David. This is really good for him because he doesn't have to worry if anything happened to him. If he died, or became ill he knows his neighbours will keep an eye on his family until he comes back or recover from serious illness. His friends are very loyal to him. On some weekends he goes out with them. He does this so he can have some time to him self. His friends look out for him always. Some of his friends smoke. This influences him to smoke more. Some of his other mates don't smoke. The ones that don't smoke tell him and the others to stop smoking. I thing he takes no notice of them because he isn't listening. He never falls out with his mates no matter what each other have done. His family are very loyal to him. His children look after Mr and Mrs David when they are ill. They get the help from their neighbours. He only fell out with his wife once. This is because she cheated on him. After him forgiving her, he and she never have fallen out again. This shows how much he trusts his family and loves them. That why he was prepared to give his wife another chance. I think in the future his family might persuade him to stop smoking.
Overall the main risks and the non risks to Mr David are smoking, not doing enough exercise, poor diet, job and family, friends, neighbour hood. Because of smoking he can die early. He will also not be healthy. From not doing enough exercise he will have a week heart and he won’t be healthy. Poor diet isn't good for him because he doesn't exercise and he smokes. This will make him get into a serious illness. His job is really good because he doesn't have to be stressed out. He can relax because he is the boss. Having a good neighbour is good because you will have respect, and good friendship towards them. And if he ever needed help he can go and ask them for help. Having good friends is because you can rely on them whenever when you need help. There like you neighbour. As Mr Davis having a trust worthy family he can rely on them on very important occasions. Like if he ever got ill. His children can look after him and there mother. From all the positive and negative factors I found out that Mr David could have a more relaxed and healthier life if he stops smoking, get a balanced diet and exercises often. His relation with his wife is not good because he is stressed out of his wife affair. He and his wife need to sort this out or else Mr David and his wife will have to pay a certain price later on in life. This could be splitting up, Mr David business getting spoilt and etc.
Health improvement plan
From my persons lifestyle some things that need to be improved. These are:
1 Smoking
2 Exercise
3 Diet
I will prepare a plan to help my person but first I will take some measurements of health
Your body is made up of water, fat, protein, carbohydrate and various vitamins and minerals. If you have too much fat especially if a lot of it is at your waist -- you're at higher risk for such health problems as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes that increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Before taking any measurements you need take into account of a person’s age, sex and lifestyle. A height and weight metre tells us if someone is under weight for their height. To measure your height you use a weighing scale and to measure how tall you are use an Altimeter. Then use a height and weight table to find out if you are underweight for your height. E.G.
My height is: 1.54 metres
My weight is 44.0 kg
My peak flow is 440. This means I am in the normal rate even though I am short.
In the height and weight graph it shows me that I am just on the line between underweight and ideal weight.
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
Body mass index can be calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in metres. This can then be used as a guide to the five BMI groups.
WHAT IS A PEAK FLOW METER?
A Peak Flow Meter is a portable, inexpensive, hand-held device used to measure how air flows from your lungs in one fast blast. In other words, the Meter measures your ability to push air out of your lungs.
Peak Flow Meters may be provided in two ranges to measure the air pushed out of your lungs. A low range Peak Flow Meter is for small children, and a standard range meter is for older children, teenagers and adults. An adult has much larger airways than a child and needs the larger range.
Peak flow monitoring is done to detect changes in airways, to adjust treatment
and to develop a management or action plan.
How to measure your peak flow:
There are several steps to properly using a peak flow meter. A good peak flow reading requires a strong blowing effort. You should blow hard on the meter to get the best reading possible and repeat this attempt three times. Record the best of the three trials. All three measurements should be about the same to show that a good effort was made each time
Before each use, make sure the sliding marker or arrow on the Peak Flow Meter is at the bottom of the numbered scale (zero or the lowest number on the scale).
Take a deep breath (as deep as you can). Put the mouthpiece of the Peak Flow Meter into your mouth. Close your lips tightly around the mouthpiece. In one breathe blow out as hard and as quickly as possible. Do these three times to get an accurate answer.
Here is an example of how to calculate a person BMI.
My BMI is: Person weight in K.G. divided by the square of their height in metres
44.0 K.G. Divided by 1.54 M times 1.54 M
=18.5528757
=18.6 to one decimal places
My BMI shows that I am underweight because I am below 19.0 on the table.
After measuring my person’s peak flow, weight and height I got these results.
His peak flow is: 479
His weight is: 70.56 kg
His height is: 1.58 m
These results tell me that his body mass index equals:
Persons weight in kg divided by the square of their height in metres
70.56 K.G. divided by 1.58 M times by 1.58 M
This means that my persons B.M.I. is 28.26
In the B.M.I table it shows us that he is in obese grade 1. He is overweight for his size.
My person’s peak flow is 479. This means he not very fit because he smokes. My person is 19 years old. His height is 1.58 metres.
My person’s peak flow is 479. This is very low for his height.
Below there is a table that is showing some of the positive and negative factors of my person. All the factors have been split up into four sections. These are Physical, Intellectual, and Emotional
Positive and negative factors which will affect my person.
The environment will affect my person in many ways. Good and bad.positive environmental health keeps health. It can be source of nutrition like farming etc. negative factors are threats to health. These can be environmental disease etc. there are many kind of environmental pollution like air pollution. My person has an unbalanced diet. An unbalanced diet will affect my person lots of ways. Having unbalanced diet is the opposite of balanced diet. My person sometime provides too much or too less of certain nutrients. This will creates many health problems for him like heart diseases, strokes, circulatory problems and others. My person doesn't exercise a lot. Lack of exercise is the opposite of regular exercise. Lack of exercise can lead to many problems for my person’s life. Lack of exercise can cause strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer. Lack of exercise can also cause many problems like little strength, sluggish blood flow, a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries, poorly developed heart and skeleton muscle. My person has a good supportive relationship. He has a big family that cares for him to bits. This keeps a smile on my persons face. My person doesn't have to worry about if he gets ill because he knows he has someone along him to look after him. This type of relation ship is really good for my person because of his bad habits. My person has adequate financial resources. He has enough money to feed his family. He has a big house which a big garden. His business is very good for him because he enjoys it very much. He loves to boss people around. Sometimes bossing people around makes him feel better which makes not having to smoke. My person has bad habits which are smoking. This will affect in later in life. He can get cancer and other type of dieses. His bones will become weakened because of smoking. His family is in stake because of him smoking. He will not only suffer his family will also suffer because of passive smoking. Mr David sees his G.P regularly because of his excessive smoking. His doctor has advised him to top smoking. Mr David is trying to stop smoking but finds it difficult.
Weekly peak flow chart
Here is a plan for my person. I have made a peak flow meter chart. This chart will record my persons peek flow during a seven week period. My person will stop smoking and start exercising more often. He will improve his diet by sticking to the diet plan I provided him. The diet plan will tell him what he is allowed to eat each day. If my person follows my diet plan and starts exercising and stops exercising his peek flow meter should improve. It will take time.
I have also Made a table which my person will use to record what he eats, how much he exercise and when he smokes. My person then can see what he has don in that week and can make improvement for the following wee. Overall all these two tables should show my person what things he needs to improve.
From the investigations I have don on my person (Mr David) I have made three targets for him. Here are Three targets my person needs to improve.
1 Exercise 3 times a week about half an hour. Let body recover the other days:
I think he needs to exercise about three times week because he doesn't exercise at all. Exercise should be an important part of his life. This is because he has a big family and he is the father who needs to look after them. He needs to do this if he wants to stay healthy and live a longer life. If he had exercised it would have many differences in his life. At the moment he is chubby and unhealthy. If he exercised he could trim all the fat out of his body and become healthier. It also stimulates the cardiovascular system. This will help him loose weight. If he exercised he could set his own goals. As he is 42 he is quite old. For this reason I think he should not do weight training because it will strain his body. Weight training is when you break muscle tissue and build muscle. At his age I thin he needs to do aerobic exercise like walking, jogging, this type of exercise will help his heart. Mr David can walk to work instead of going by car because it’s about a mile from where he lives. This could be one of his exercises for the day. Mr David should also do flexible exercise. This type of exercise is stretching. This type of exercise stretches the muscle and extends the body various bending points and has a greater mobility. This type of exercise reduces muscle strain and improves balance. Before Mr David does any type of exercise he should stretch his body muscle. This will help his body not getting staring after exercise. As starting exercising these type of exercise will be very good for his body. If Mr David wants to do resistance exercising, he can do this but he needs to watch out what kind of exercises he does because of his age. Resistance exercising is when lifting, pulling or pushing against something is a resistance exercise, designed to build muscle strength. As Mr David has a very big garden he can do the gardening, household chores and climbing stairs. These are types of resistance training. I think he should do any other type of resistance exercise because it will strain his body too much. If Mr David doesn't star to exercise, this will have a major affect on his family. If Mr David died because of not exercising his family would be devastated. This will lead to relationships breaking and this might lead to relationships splitting up. This is why Mr David needs to start smoking.
2 He needs to stop smoking:
Mr David needs to stop smoking. There are many reasons for this. He has a chance of dying early. He family and friends are at risks because of passive smoking, smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels. This can cause heart attacks. As he is at the stage of middle age he can die because he has bin smoking for 10 years now. Mr David is addicted to smoking. Because of smoking, it slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. If he carries on smoking he might have to get his limbs amputated. Emphysema is a dieses caused by smoking. Emphysema slowly rots you lungs. If Mr David wants to quit he needs to set a date to star stooping smoking. He needs to try to find a date which will not be stressful and which will keep him busy for long period of time. In the positive side Mr David goes to hid G.P regularly. He gets lots of advice from him on how to stop smoking. If Mr David tried to stop smoking without consulting a doctor it could have major side affects and can lead to death. He has friend that smoke. I think he needs to persuade them to stop quitting smoke. This will give him more confidence on quitting smoke. He will have to tell his family about quitting smoke. This is because after stopped smoking for a long time you body will have some side affects. You might be ill for a couple of days. This usually happens because you body is used to you smoking and can’t take it if you stopped smoking. If he stopped he will feel some withdrawal. After quitting smoking he has to get a good diet so his health improves. He will have to consult his doctor about his diet. He will need to find out what makes him smoke and try to ovoid these barriers. He tried to stop smoking before but he started to smoke because he couldn't be without smoke. He needs to find ways to resolve his problems of smoking. He might have to see a specialised who deals with someone trying to stop smoking. He will have to be positive about stopping smoking. This is because he will not succeed if he isn't positive. He can also do other things to stop smoking like take nicotine patches, nicotine gum and etc.
3 Stop eating junk food. Eat more healthy food. Intake the daily need of nutrients and have a balanced diet.
Having unbalanced means that you are unhealthy and having a balanced diet meant that you are healthy. Mr David has an unhealthy diet. He doesn't eat regularly. He eats whenever he wants to and he eats anything. Mr David has an irregular lifestyle habits. This is not good for him and his family. This is because if anything happened to him his family would have to suffer. He usually skips breakfast every week. He eats whenever he has time. This will lead to obesity. I think Mr David needs to improve his diet because in the future his diet will affect him. His body is not getting enough nutrients as needed for his daily amount. He is mostly eating fatty food like pizza, burger, and chips. This type of food makes him fat. He hardly eats vegetables and fruits. I think his family needs to persuade him to improve his life style. If Mr David had a better diet he would be more energetic. He would be more confident about himself. Because of bad diet Mr David can get heart attacks and can get heart dieses.
Overall Mr David must quit smoking now, and have moderate exercise. Next, in his diet he must keep to regular meal times: three times a day. Next, the meal contents are another point for improvement. He should eat low-fat foods and foods having more natural vitamins Mr David has no time to hesitate. He must change his unbalanced diet and bad lifestyle now. If he does not improve their unbalanced diet and bad life style, he will likely develop some sorts of illness in the future. If he doesn't do all of this his family will be at risk and him self.
Below is a table showing hot my person will be affected positively and negatively from my diet plan.
From my investigation I have made 3 difficulties that my person will have. On the difficulties I will explain the barriers that will stop my person from the difficulties and how my person can overcome the difficulties.
Difficulty 1. Stop smoking.
My person needs to stop smoking because of many reasons. His family, relatives and friends are at stake. Mr David smokes in front of his children and his wife and his friends and relatives. His family are passive smoking. Passive smoking is the breathing in of air that contains other people's smoke. For this reason my person’s family can suffer n a great deal. They can get cancer, heart attaches and other smoking dieses. Mr David thinks that opening the window will stop his family, friend’s passive smoking the smoke. This is not true because the smoke is still in the room. All of this should influence Mr David to stop smoking. He should think about what can happen to his love ones. Mr David smokes because he is stressed out and his wife had an affair. It is hard for him to forgive her. If Mr David is stressed out he should spend less time at work and more time with his family. This should relief his stress. He should also see a specialist that deal with stress. The specialist would help him over come the stress and also give him advice on how to overcome it by him self. Mr David also smokes because his wife had an affair. He fines it hard to forgive her. Mr David needs to forgive her quickly because he is not helping at all. He is making the whole family suffer. If he can’t forgive her he should think about leaving her. This might make Mr David calm down and less stressed out. If this happened the family would separate and it would not be good for his children growing up without a father or mother. Mr David and Mrs David might also want to see a specialist that deal will relationships. The specialist would help them overcome their problem. If this is not the case the specialist would recommend them to do what is best for both. Mr David also smokes because some of his mates smoking. Mr David needs to convince his friends to stop smoking. If this doesn't happen Mr David needs to stop seeing his mates and see them less often. If Mr David did this he would have no friends and he would have to make new friends which might be hard. If this is not possible he needs to go to a specialist who deals with people wanting to stop smoking. The specialist would give him advice on how to stop smoking and what to do instead of smoking. If Mr David stopped smoking he might not fit in with his mates which are another problem. His friendship might break up. His family will have less chance of getting dieses related with smoking. Mr David doesn't want to stop smoking also because his scared of the withdrawal symptoms that occur when he stops smoking. Mr David needs to now what is more serious. Having withdrawal symptoms or getting dieses for smoking. His family are also concerned that Mr David waste a lot of money for cigarettes. This might lead him and his family to financial difficulties. Mr David needs to do something that does not involve smoking cigarettes. He might want to spend more time with his family. His family can try to make him stop in different ways. Every time they see Mr David smoke, his family could through the cigarettes away in the bin. This can lead to other things. Mr David might get angry because of that or he might realize how much his family care about him and then he might want to stop smoking.
Difficulty 2 Balanced diet.
My person needs a balanced diet. Mr David has an irregular lifestyle habits. This is not good for him and his family. This is because if anything happened to him his family would have to suffer. He usually skips breakfast every week. He eats whenever he has time. This will lead to obesity. He normally eats junk food with his work mates. And normally comes home tired and goes to sleep. He misses the evening meal. Mr David needs to have balanced diet. Having a balanced diet is not as hard as stopping to smoke. His family need to make sure Mr David has a good diet. They need to persuade him to eat regularly and eat the recommended amount. His family need to do this because now one else would do this. His friend would influence him to eat more fatty food. In the morning His family need to wake him up and make him eat something health. During dinnertime at work his family need to take food to him to eat. This means he doest have to eat fish and chips. His family need to make sure he isn't tired when he comes back from work. They need to make sure he has the evening meal. If this happened David would be used to it and he will start to eat healthy by him self. He wouldn't need his family to baby sit him. He would also realize how much effort his family are putting him. There are negative side to all of this. Mr David might not like the health food and he might throw it away and eat the fatty food. His friends are eating fatty food. He might want to join in and eat with them. Mr David needs to persuade his mates to stop eating fatty food. All of his friends might want to go on a diet. This is good because he would be eating healthy food. He doesn’t have to worry about fitting in. Mr David might also miss the fatty food and this might lead him to eating more fatty food. Without balanced diet he can get allsorts of dieses. He would be week and he won t have enough strength. This should make Mr David think twice before eating anything. If Mr David had a balanced diet and once a week he treated himself on something fatty. It would be ok because it’s only for once. As Mr David is a Muslim it is easier for him to have a healthier diet. This is because his only allowed having vegetable related oil. He isn't allowed to have meat related oil. He is also allowed to eat certain type of food. The food must be Hallal. So if Mr David had anything that isn't Hallal it would be against his religion. His religion should convince him to start having a balanced diet.
Difficulty 3 exercising
My person doesn't exercise regularly. Mr David has many barriers that are stopping him exercising. Mr David thinks exercise is boring. Mr David can think exercise as an activity so it isn't boring. He can listen to music whilst exercising. This should make it not boring. Do different types of exercises which should be interesting and not boring. This is because he will be learning new activity. He might want to exercise with friends, family, relatives or neighbours. This is good because he will have someone along side him exercising and someone who he can talk to. Each of them can encourage each other to exercise. Mr David could check out exercise classes or sport leagues at a health club or leisure centre. Mr David thinks his too tired after working all day. He could exercise in the morning. To do this he should wake up about 30 minutes earlier that usual. This will give him enough time to exercise ad he can have a breakfast. He can use a treadmill he has at his house. Exercise during his lunch. He could walk for a while his lunch break. He needs to be prepared to work out. He should put his work out clothes in front t of him so he doesn't forget. He should get to sleep earlier. This would give him plenty of rest so he can run in the morning. Mr David thinks his too lazy to exercise. He needs to set realistic targets. He needs to think about what he can achieve for exercising. He can achieve a better body, fitter etc. he should set a realistic time for him to exercise. This is so he doesn't miss any important meeting at work. Mr David thinks he is not athletic. It doesn't matter if his not athletic. He should not think like this because it will put him off. He needs to this positively. He tried a few years ago and he failed. He should pace him self. He should start with small exercise and then increase his exercise. He should set realistic goals that he now he will be able to full fill. He should have goals like exercising for hours a day. This is not realistic. This will put him off if he does not succeed. He should always remember why he is exercising and he should remind him self always. His own goals should motivate him into exercising. Mr David has a treadmill and he complains that gym equipment is too expensive. As Mr David’s 42 he doesn't need to do strength training. But if he wanted to do this he can use resistance bands. They are not expensive. He can try lifting milk carton or jug full of sand. He can do push ups or sit-up or squats. This means he doesn't have to send a lot of money for exercise equipment. He should try starting a walking group. He should get friend and family to walk with him up and down during his free time. This should motivate him. He could also walk up and down stairs. Mr David afraid that hell hurt himself while exercising. He should take it simple. Start with easy exercise and then go on to advance ones when you get used to the easy exercise. He should try and exercise for beginners he'll learn the basic from scratch. He also could consider working with a personal trainer. He could get a professional trainer which will instruct him to do exercises which is fit for him. And the trainer could also show him how to improve certain exercise and he can also give him diet tips. Mr David thinks his family and friends don't support him when he tries to exercise. He could sign up for a parent and children fitness class. Take your family to the park on foot.
Overall From the three difficulties I have found out that my person will be affected positively and negatively. His family, relatives, friends will also suffer because of his difficulties. For this reason he needs to overcome the difficulties before he does any damage to his loved ones.
