Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

Download or read book Body Composition Changes and Work efficiency Effects from Diet Modification and Incorporation of an At home Exercise Regimen written by Brian M. Farrell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Obesity has been identified as one of the more serious health risk factors facing many individuals and society as a whole. The cost that is associated with the loss of life and medical expenses is significantly greater than that of smoking, excessive drinking, and poverty. In a working population, to stay economically viable and healthy, exercise and physical activity need to be a part of daily lifestyle to maintain both healthy body weight and composition and to prevent negative work effects. Obesity leads to reduced productivity and efficiency at the workplace, and leads to greater healthcare costs for companies. The cost of obesity in healthcare encompasses direct costs such as missed days to indirect costs from increased doctor visits and medications for health complications from obesity. There are numerous studies that support the fact that a modest reduction in weight can improve risk factors of obesity. Methods: A Physical Activity Pamphlet (PAP) was developed to assist employees in service industries with Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 25kg/m2 to make healthier choices about their weekly exercise patterns. The guide centers around adding more steps, burning more calories, and incorporating more exercise in simple ways. There is also a reference to MyPyramid.gov for nutritional advice and dietary suggestions. A Physical Activity Assessment Tool (PAAT) was also developed to measure the impact the PAP could have on changing the behavior of the employee group in making healthier choices. Conclusion: Studies of wellness programs in work settings have shown results of improving healthy behaviors of those that participate in the program. Wellness programs offer nutrition interventions and exercise advice, which include a variety of education tools to improve participant knowledge so they can make healthier choices. Implementing these changes would benefit both employees and their employers. It would aid employees by increasing job satisfaction, efficiency, and motivation, and reducing absenteeism rates. It would benefit employers by decreasing absenteeism, improving efficiency of work force, and improved overall morale at the workplace. This study would have shown that a change in diet and implementing a physical activity regimen would help to reduce weight and favorably change body composition, which would lower risks for chronic diseases and costs associated with obesity.

Download or read book Measuring Health From The Inside written by Carolyn Hodges Chaffee and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Carolyn and Annika bring decades of expertise in the care of patients with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and the many related atypical and subsyndromal variants. Their clinical wisdom, understanding of the experience of sufferers and those who love them, and understanding of these illnesses and the recovery process infuse these pages.” —Diane Mickley, MD, Director, Wilkins Center for Eating Disorders The ever changing field of eating disorder treatment needs innovative new techniques and approaches. As the number of people with these challenging disorders increases at an alarming rate, treatment has not kept pace. The death rate for Anorexia Nervosa in the U.S. is twelve times higher than all other leading causes of death combined for the 15-to-24 age group. Measuring Health from the Inside is a major step forward in treating patients with eating disorders. This important book explains how two simple measurement techniques—Metabolic Testing and Body Composition Analysis—can help patients make rapid progress in understanding their condition and tracking their progress toward recovery. Thousands of patients have been successfully diagnosed and treated by this technology at Carolyn’s clinic and Annika’s private practice. In Measuring Health from the Inside, they explain how the information from the tests can be used to help treat patients not only for their underlying eating disorder but also for the malnutrition that almost always accompanies—and worsens—the condition. Based on their extensive experience, they offer practical guidance for therapists, patients, and loved ones on the often overlooked importance of nutrition in treating eating disorders.

He mapped out a plan that saved his life and helped him become stronger, healthier and more balanced than he was years before. "What I did for myself," he says, "I can do for you." Dr. Z has been there with his readers, feeling the fear, confusion and frustration of a health crisis. With this book, though, readers will conquer their fear and their health issues to recover, rebuild and sustain their health for a lifetime.
