HEALTH

Health is very important in our daily lives. Health is the the measure of our bodys well being. We base our health off of the 5 pillars of health which are nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and social. The body is healthy when levels of insulin, glycogen, leptin, and cortisol are all balanced. Nutrition is a very important thing. It is food that exerts a biological function in our body. The keys to a healthy diet is moderation and variety, adequete and balance. Nutrients dense is lots of nutrients for relativley low amounts of calories. Fibers consist of whole grains, fruits, veggies, Triglycerides is a source of most dietary fats. Exercise is also very important. It reduces risk of chronic disease and adverse health outcomes. There are 3 metabolic pathways. They are the phosphogen pathway, glycolitic, and oxidative pathway. Some of these depend on how high ones intensity is when working out. Intensity is also defined as MET. Sleep is a sensory shut down and you are no longer aware of the environment. REM is rapid eye movement. Humans need sleep in order to function properly or else they get sleep debt. It is very important for humans to be social because being social can renew old friendships, help you meet new people, and get invited to events. These all play a huge role in my life. I exercise every single day to stay healthy and it is just fun for me. I also sleep alot so that is good because of all the sports I do. My health goals from now on are to try new and healthier foods. I am a very picky person so trying new types of food is important for me especially healthy options.
