Task 3 (M2, M3, D1, D2)



In this report I will be providing lifestyle improvement strategies and explaining the strengths and areas for improvement for their lifestyle. From
the questionnaire, I have gathered that my client already lives a reasonably healthy lifestyle. He doesn’t consume any alcohol and he doesn’t
smoke or vape which are two crucial areas in which he doesn’t need to improve. He also doesn’t require any improvements regarding sleep
because he currently gets 10 hours per night, which is over the average of 8 hours per night. My client doesn’t have any current physical injuries
or mental health issues which is also a positive for living a healthy lifestyle. My client’s strengths regarding lifestyle would be not smoking or
consuming alcohol. Even though my client has a good level of fitness, relatively low levels of stress and a reasonably good diet, there is some
room for improvements to help him live a better lifestyle.



There are several lifestyle management strategies which can be used to help my client live a happier and healthier life. The first one is to sleep
well and ensure he gets at least 8 hours sleep because this helps with your cognitive functions and it helps with muscle recovery, which is
essential if you exercise regularly. In his questionnaire he stated that he gets 10 hours per night which is above the average hours required.
There are a few things which can help you get a good amount of sleep such as building a bedtime routine, ensuring your room is dark, managing
your caffeine intake, use blue light blockers at least 2 hours before going to bed and overall making sure that your bedroom is a comfy and
relaxing environment. The second one is to exercise regularly. He currently runs with college once or sometimes twice a week and he takes part
in physical exercise 3-4 times a week, this isn’t including his football training and football matches he plays. Later in the report I will be talking
about the ways to increase his physical activity and the benefits of it. The third one is to eat well because having good nutrition can help boost
and individual’s energy, mood and wellness. My client’s current diet is currently healthy and will be explained more in depth later in the report.
The forth one is to avoid smoking, drugs and alcohol. On a positive note, he doesn’t use any of them which means they aren’t hindering his
health. The fifth and final strategy is to reduce and manage his stress. My client’s current stress rating is a 5/10 which is a relatively low score.
Having high levels of stress overtime can affective an individual’s mental and physical health negatively. My client’s three current sources of
stress are work, football related stuff and coursework. To help reduce stress, he could take breaks from work or other structured activities.
During these breaks it would be ideal to spend the time by going for a walk, exercise or play video games (It all depends on the individual’s

preferences.) A negative for advising using video games to relief stress is that they may be tempted to stay on it for longer rather than doing
their work.

To begin with, my client has a reasonably healthy diet because his meals throughout the day contain a balance of all of the nutrients which are
carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates, protein and fat are macronutrients, also known as macros, because they
make up the most of people’s diets, whereas vitamins and minerals are called micronutrients because you only require them in smaller amounts
(maxliving.com) The national guideline for the amount of nutrients an individual needs daily according to the NHS are: at least 260g of
carbohydrates, less than 70g of total fat, less than 20g of saturates, 90g of total sugars, 50gof protein and less than 6g of salt. In his
questionnaire he also stated that he often skips breakfast and meals. It’s negative that he skips breakfast because consuming a healthy breakfast
restores the glucose levels in the body and lowers stress levels, therefore it is important not to skip it.

Although my client’s diet is reasonably healthy, to maintain it there are a few things which he needs to do. Firstly, he needs to ensure he avoids
sugars at all costs as well as bad fats. Bad fats, also known as saturated fats are found in food that people most commonly eat, for example
biscuits, cakes, bacon, cheese, milkshakes, ice cream, pastries, chocolate etc. According the NHS website, UK health guidelines recommend that
the average man aged 19-64 years should eat no more than 30g of saturated fat a day and the average woman aged 19-64 years should eat no
more than 20g of saturated fat a day. Secondly, he needs to keep avoiding processed foods because they are usually really high in saturated fats.
This includes avoiding white foods such as white bread, white rice and white pasta because they are usually high in carbs and are heavily
processed, making it less healthy compared to brown foods which are a healthier alternative. Thirdly, it is important to read food labels so he
can help limit the amount of fat, sugar and cholesterol in his diet. Fourthly, despite it providing us with iron, he should not eat red meats such as
beef, lamb and pork because in future it could put him at risk of getting bowel cancer as research shows, according to the ‘cancer council’
website. However, to get a good source of protein he can try eating healthier alternatives such as chicken, fish, eggs, beans and pulses. Finally,
he should maintain his current water intake which is 7 glasses per day and the NHS recommend that people should drink six to eight glasses of
water per day.

My client doesn’t smoke which is very beneficial to his lifestyle and means he has nothing to cut down on. He doesn’t breathe in any second
hand smoke at home or even when he’s around his friends. There are various benefits for stopping smoking. The first major difference they will
notice is that their breathing will become easier and their lung capacity will improve up to 10% within 9 months after quitting. (NHS website)
Stopping smoking will also give the individual more energy due to an improved blood circulation. However, there are many more negatives for
smoking because it will have an overall negative effect on your body. The main issues caused by smoking is that it puts individuals at a higher risk
of getting smoking related diseases such as heart disease, lung cancer and chronic bronchitis. The NHS website suggests different ways an
individual can stop smoking. If they don’t think they have the courage to stop by themselves, then the first step is to visit their GP and they can
