Students are assigned to write a descriptive writing paper on staying healthy at home. First, chose one day this week and record all the food you eat along with the calories in each serving. All food items are required by the U.S. gov. to have a nutrition facts label. The Harvard link can then be used to record the calorie expenditure for the activities done by the student for that day.
Create two tables showing data for both activities. Staying healthy at home is not easy, since eating combined with little exercise can create an increase in body mass. In the quest to break the two hour marathon. Three athletes
trained and had numerous runners that helped keep their pace during the challenge. The main point of the movie and it can be seen on Disney plus is that Kipchoge states that I am nothing without my team. Kipchoge states live simple and train hard, which is not easy to do when we are required to stay at home and not be in groups. Thus, the goal of this activity is to document your conditions under these stay healthy at home circumstances. If your eating has a higher calorie intake than your exercise, then weight gain will follow. The percentage
of children aged 6-11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2012. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12-19 years who were obese increased from 5% to nearly 21% over the same period. http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/obesity/facts.htm
What is causing this increase? The smart phone became available to the consumer in 2006, so did a decrease in activity cause parents to over feed their children? Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as
adults and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several
types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. One study showed that children who became obese as early as age 2 were more likely to be obese as adults.
What causes childhood obesity? Children become overweight and obese for a variety of reasons. The most common causes are genetic factors, lack
of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these factors. Only in rare cases is being overweight caused by a medical condition such as a hormonal problem. A physical exam and
some blood tests can rule out the possibility of a medical condition as the cause for obesity.
How can I involve my family in healthy habits? Although weight problems run in families, not all children with a family history of obesity will be overweight.
Children whose parents or brothers or sisters are overweight may be at an increased risk of becoming overweight themselves, but this can be linked to shared family behaviors such as eating and activity.

Taking time to think about the prompt and to plan your writing
will improve the quality of your final essay. Planning can help you compose a more organized, polished response. Use this guide to plan your composition.
Read the prompt carefully and restate it in your own words. Think specifically about what the prompt is asking you to do (for example, make an argument, tell a story, or explain a
process).
After you have thought about the prompt and it is clear what you’re being asked to do, write one or two sentences describing your initial reaction to the prompt. This may be the basis for your thesis statement, or the main idea of your essay.
Read the reminder list (questions to ask about the prompt) that follows the prompt. (If you are still unclear about the prompt, the list may help you better understand it.) Think about those items that you have particular trouble with and write them down. Explain how to avoid those mistakes in your writing.
Brainstorm ideas, details, or information to support your response to the prompt. You may use a brainstorming technique such as free writing, making a list, or creating a web. Record anything that comes to
mind.
Review the things you wrote as you brainstormed. What ideas support your thesis statement?
What details add information to those supporting ideas? Underline or highlight the ideas and details you plan to use in your composition.
There are many ways to organize your ideas. You may wish to use a visual representation such as a web, an outline, or a chart. The graphic organizers that follow are some examples of ways to structure your ideas.
This organizer is useful for many types of writing, including expository and persuasive essays. Use the thesis statement from the Respond exercise and the ideas from the Record and Review exercises to complete the graphic organizer. You may add additional Supporting Ideas and Details as necessary.
