could long term stop herself by going out without any cigarettes as a long
term solution. A short term target for Naomi may be doing yoga or going to
the gym to relieve stress, by starting at home. Naomi can also time how long
it is into a situation she needs to smoke.
- Explaining the rationale - -
- Give a rationale for the actions and targets? - -The action in my belief
begins with supporting and my opinion is best for Naomi. Actions and targets
should could try are: walk to work, go to the gym 1 hour a day, Do yoga 1
hour a day, Naomi's colleagues going on walk's at break with her with
Asthma try 10-30 minutes at the gym walking. A time scale of 1 year is
suitable to help her lose weight and stop smoking.
- Health and wellbeing plan: actions, targets and support - -
- Suggest one short term and one long term target from Naomi's smoking.
Suggest one formal and one informal source of support? - -A short term
target could be using a yoga, fitness app on an electrical device to stop
herself. Naomi could also speak to her GP. A long term target could be going
to yoga classes, or gym sessions and join a support group.

centered approach when planning for health improvement? - -1. To help

- Explaining physiological data: BMI - -
- Explain what the data suggests about Kesh's : current health and future
health - -Kesh's BMI is currently 33 making him obese. By being obese he
increases her risk of diabetes, heart disease, low self esteem and low
concept. The data also show's that Kesh is at the border of being severely
obese. The data overall show's Kesh is eating the wrong things and not at
the right time. Kesh also doesn't exercise having a negative effect.
, - Explaining physiological data: peak flow - -
- Guidance to interpret peak flow data? - -The peak flow for a woman age
20 should be around 400 for 160 cm in height. The Woman in this case has a
peak flow of 420 which is high. A 63 year old male at a height of 183 cm
should have a peak flow of around 595 while our man has his at 505 making
it low. Another male aged 47 at a height of 175 cm should have a peak flow
of 585 while this male is at 648 making it high. In my opinion the more
people that are obese make the peak flow become slower making it harder
to breathe and may be the case of having it built up somewhere.
- Explaining physiological data: blood pressure - -
- Explain what the data suggests about Faith's current and future health? - -
Faith's blood pressure is currently low explaining why she sometimes feels
dizzy when she stands up. Faith's future health can be affected by having
low blood pressure so to try build her blood pressure up it is recommended
to increase her salt intake, drink more water and war compression stockings.
This can lead to heart and brain damage as oxygen cannot carry at a normal
speed to power the body.
- Explaining physiological data: pulse rate - -
- What do the reading's suggest about Damien's health at the beginning of
the plan and after 6 months of exercise? - -Damien's reading's tell me that
at the start he had a lack of exercise as he had a 7 minute recovery time and
when resting a pulse rate of 105 beats per minute. After 6 months on a plan
Damien has lost some weight, increased the amount of exercise he does and
has now got a 4 minute recovery time which has also resulted in his pulse
rate going to down to 75 beats per minute. This data suggests after 6
months his body is adjusting to becoming healthier.
- Interpreting Lifestyle data - -
- Explain what this lifestyle data suggests about Naomi's current health and
future health risks? - -Naomi smokes 14 cigarettes a week. She also drinks
14 pints of alcohol a week which is the government average. Naomi goes to
the gym once a week and goes to work by car and has a desk job. Naomi's
future health shows the longer she is smoking the more addicted she will
become making it harder to stop. By Naomi smoking she has increased her
risks of cancer, heart disease and gum disease. By increasing the risk she is
also increasing the chance or a shorter life expectancy than other people her
age who don't smoke and drink once in a while. At this time no red flags are
popping up which puts her at a good life expectancy.
