1. LIFESTYLE AND
WEIGHT
MANAGEMENT
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND EATING
HABITS

2. Analyze the picture
and give your insights

8. What do you think
they have this kind
of body size?

9. Activity 2: WHAT IS IT FOR
YOU?
In this activity, your prior
knowledge about lifestyle and
weight management will be
assessed.

10. I. Objectives: To discuss the
meaning of lifestyle To identify
the different lifestyle factors and
their importance
II. Materials/Equipment:
• manila paper
• masking tape
• pen
• activity notebook

11. III. Procedure:
1. Form groups of five to eight members
each.
2. Using a concept map, write words
associated with “Lifestyle” inside the
circles. You may add more circles if
necessary. Do this in your activity
notebook.

12. 3. Focus on the following:
• Describe the words given.
• What were the words commonly given
by the group? Why do you think these
words were given?
• What words were mentioned only once?
Are these words important?
4. Define “Lifestyle” based on the words
given by each member.
5. Choose one representative to do the
presentation for 3 minutes.

14. Your lifestyle is of utmost importance.
Everything you do, whether good or
bad, has an effect on your health. Your
lifestyle involves a lot of aspects like the
physical activities you engage in, the
food you eat, the daily habits you
observe, the choices you make as a
consumer, and many others. These
different aspects of your lifestyle affect
your overall health. Therefore, it is a
must that you give attention to these
factors to become a healthier individual.

15. What aspects of your lifestyle do
you think you should be most
attentive to?
Why do you think so?

16. LIFESTYLE AND MANAGING
IT
Lifestyle – is the way in which an
individual lives.
It includes:
everyday routine at home, in school,
or at work;
eating, sleeping, and exercise
habits, and many others

17. Managing your lifestyle entails making
modifications that elevate health risks
Oreducing the intake of fatty
food,
Ogetting up to reach for
something instead of asking
someone to get it for you,
Owalking faster and more often.

18. Lifestyle can go around these
factors to gain more benefits
e.g.
you cannot stop the aging
process, but you can
delay the signs of aging
from showing by being
more active and avoiding
vices

19. other variables in your lifestyle
Onutrition,
Obody weight,
Ophysical activity, and
Ohealth habits

20. risk factors associated with
lifestyle variables
Ohypertension / high blood pressure,
Ooverweight and obesity,
Oexcess body fat,
Ohigh levels of stress,
Olack of exercise and
Osedentary lifestyle, smoking, unhealthy
dietary practices, and
Oalcohol consumption

21. An unhealthy lifestyle brings with it
certain diseases that can shorten your
lifespan
ONon-communicable
diseases (NCDs) - are not
transmitted from person to
person, yet kill more than 36
million people each year

22. OAlso called chronic
diseases, they are of long
duration, and are generally
of slow progression.

23. The four main types of NCDs
Ocardiovascular diseases (like
enlargement of the heart and
hypertension),
Ocancer,
Ochronic respiratory diseases (such as
chronic obstructed pulmonary disease
and asthma), and
Odiabetes

24. All age groups are affected by NCDs,
although they are often associated with
older age groups. Evidence shows that
more than nine million of all deaths
attributed to NCDs occur before the age
of 60. Children and adults are all
vulnerable to the risk factors that lead to
non-communicable diseases, whether
from unhealthy diet, physical inactivity,
exposure to tobacco smoke, or the
harmful effects of alcohol.

26. It is important that these risks
factors are addressed even at
your teenage years. You could
start by being more active,
adding physical activity
sessions to your daily
routine, or by being a
healthy eater, opting for
more nutritious food

27. WEIGHT AND MANAGING
IT
You might find other individuals
lucky because they eat a lot but
do not gain weight as much as
you do. You might also think it is
unfair that though you limit your
food intake, you do not lose as
much weight as you want to.

28. OThis is because your
weight is a result of
metabolic responses of
your body to your food
intake, energy
expenditure, and
physiologic processes

29. OThe concepts of weight
gain and weight loss are
important in weight
management. How to gain
and lose weight are
probably some of the more
common issues when it
comes to health

30. concept is
weight
maintenance

31. Energy expenditure -
is the amount of
energy you spend
through physical
activity

32. Energy consumption -
is the amount of
energy you take in
through food

33. They both play
key roles in
weight
management

34. Formula
Weight Gain = energy consumed is
greater than energy expended =
more food intake but less physical
exertion
Weight Loss = energy consumed is
less than energy expended = more
physical exertion but less food intake

35. Weight Loss = energy
consumed is less than
energy expended
= more
physical exertion but less
food intake

36. Weight Maintenance = energy
consumed equals energy
expended
=
physical exertion is the same
with food intake

37. Body Mass Index (BMI)
It is a rough measure of body
composition that is useful for classifying
the health risks of body weight. It is also
based on the concept that a person’s
weight should be proportional to height.
BMI is calculated by dividing your body
weight (expressed in kilograms) by the
square of your height (expressed in
meters).

38. Example:
Weight: 130 pounds (convert into
kilos) x 1kg / 2.2 pounds = 59 kg
Height: 5 feet 3 inches (convert to
meters) x .0254 meters / inch = 1.6
m

40. At low values of BMI, weight
gain should be achieved. For
normal values, weight
maintenance is
recommended. Healthy
eating and active physical
activity will be beneficial in
maintaining a healthy weight.
