Eating Habits: My 20's
Eating Habits: My diet should be focused mostly on growing and obtaining enough energy to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle in this period of my life. My 20's will most likely be the most active and energy-consuming time of my life so I will need to eat well. Foods that I would include are: berries, as they are easily portable and provide a lot of vitamins and antioxidants; and various fish, as they are a good and lean source of protein and other essential vitamins. -
Routine Health Care/Physical Activity: My 20's
Health Care: My health care should mainly be focused on preventative measures, such as getting frequent check-ups; keeping up-to-date with my shots; practicing safe-sex, and getting enough exercise. I should also try to start investing in a basic insurance plan and retirement for later down the road.
Physical Activity: Some easy exercise routines that I could do are: biking to work as much as possibly; going to a gym at least 3 days a week; and try to move around in general. -
Eating Habits: My 30's
Eating Habits: My eating habits should now focus mainly on trying to get enough calcium for my bones, so they are not as brittle further down the road. I should also focus on trying to reduce my daily calorie intake because I do not require as much energy as I did in my 20's, and my metabolism is dropping. Some foods that I would include in my diet would be: lots of dairy products, as they are an essential source of calcium; leafy greens to reduce calorie intake but also provide vitamins. -
Routine Health Care/Physical Activity: My 30's
Health Care: My health care should still be focused on preventative measures through the use of screenings for possible diseases, such as cancer, or cholesterol levels. I should still be taking the correct immunizations and get exams for my eyes and ears, as they begin to function worse as we age, as well as paying attention to my weight.
Physical Activity: I should try to get 30-60 minutes of exercise a day by jogging or walking each night, or finding a sport to participate in. -
Eating Habits: My 40's
Eating Habits: My eating habits in my 40's should focus on maintaining a healthy waistline, preventing cancer, such as skin or prostate cancer, maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol, and maintaining good vision and hearing. Some foods that I would include in my diet would be: cooked greens to help maintain my vision and prevent skin cancer; nuts to prevent prostate cancer, and lean meats to lower my calorie intake while also getting enough protein. -
Routine Health Care/Physical Activity: My 40's
Health Care: My main focus for health care should be preventing heart diseases, cholesterol, and cancer. I should still be getting regular screening tests for cholesterol and diabetes which could lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. I should also go see my doctor for checkups of my overall health.
Physical Activity: I still need to watch my weight in my 40's so I will take a walk most nights after dinner, try to continue the sport I played in my 30's and go hiking when possible. -
Routine Health Care/Physical Activity: My 50's
Health Care: I should continue my screenings for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol as it is always important to maintain healthy levels of those as they could lead to chronic diseases. I should continue to have my physical exams, along with eye and ear exams to check my overall health. I should focus more on preventing osteoporosis also.
Physical Activity: I should include weight lifting in my exercise to strengthen my bones along with daily activities, such as walking and jogging. -
Eating Habits: My 50's
Eating Habits: In my 50's, my metabolism would have been declining for 20 years now, so I have to eat foods that provide a lot of nutrients and vitamins that can prevent brittle bones, heart disease, obesity, and cancer. Foods that I would include in my diet would be: leafy greens and beans because they provide a lot of nutrients along with a low amount of calories; dairy products as they provide a lot of calcium to help keep my bones strong, and nuts to prevent cancer and keep my heart healthy. -
Eating Habits: My 60's
Eating Habits: In my 60's my focus should just to eat as healthy as possibly to prevent any chronic disease, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. Some foods I would include in my diet would be: berries, for the antioxidants and fiber; green beans and broccoli for their nutrients and low calories, and some cheese and crackers for calcium and daily grain intake, but also for a light snack. -
Routine Health Care/Physical Activity: My 60's
Health Care: In my 60's, I should focus on trying to keep my mind as sharp as possible by doing daily puzzles or crosswords. Of course, I should still continue my screenings and checkups for cancer, diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol because I am more vulnerable to the disease associated with unhealthy levels as I age.
Physical Activity: I should continue to work my muscles and bones to prevent osteoporosis and I should continue my walks to stay in shape and not become obese.
