Balanced diet
By having a balanced diet, it means that people are generally healthier and more fit than people who constantly eat “junk” food.
Mary has a balanced diet through having adequate finances and can buy healthy and nutritious food for her and her family. This means that she will have the benefits of oral health through an adequate calcium intake, which can also help fight the onset of osteoporosis. It also reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease and obesity making her feel better about herself. Mary’s immune system will also be better equipped to fight off infection, therefore taking less time off work through illness - employers are now financially rewarding their staff for not taking sick leave. My client will also have increased energy which would make her feel better and want to do more and getting more enjoyment out of her life.
Supportive Relationships
If people have supportive relationships with their friends and family, this means that it gives them encouragement and boosts their self esteem.
My client has a supportive relationship with her husband and children. They give her encouragement and help her to do things that she cannot do very well. As Mary has a bad back, due to a horse riding accident, her family help her with physical things suck as cooking as she cannot stand up for very long. Also, my client has supportive relationships with her friends at work. They go out together after work and she enjoys their company as they support and encourage her. This gives Mary a boost for her self esteem and means that she has a good social life.
Simulating Work and Education
By having a good education, it enables people to get a better job than if someone quit school early or had a bad education. Stimulating work means that the brain is still working and processing information.
Mary’s job includes lots of thinking and stimulation for the mind as she is a legal secretary, working on computers, having to do lots of jobs at once for her boss. She also had a good education in Canada and received her diploma after graduating and this has enabled her to get a good job which she enjoys, likes her colleagues, and it keeps her brain busy.
