Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper presenting an individual health promotion designed to last only two weeks. Based on diet and exercise for the purpose of lowering cholesterol, the result of the intervention may be that the individual experiences a sense of well being and heightened responsibility for his own health. If so, then motivation for continuing past the two week period may become intrinsic rather than being driven for the purpose of completing a required record sheet. Ultimately, the health promotion should have positive effects on the individual’s cholesterol levels as measured by a blood test. In the meantime, targets and outcomes can be assessed by means of the three modalities of overt motor behavior, physiological response and the cognitive sphere. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

best of intentions. This is some of the reason that many smokers and would-be dieters perennially repeat the same New Years resolutions annually. The purpose here is to
undertake a personal health promotion effort overcoming the barriers that ultimately defeat so many in their efforts to take responsibility for their own health and well being. Required Components
Widely-available and general advice on lowering serum cholesterol includes altering diet and exercising more. It has been found relatively recently that the benefits
of exercise extend beyond helping to burn the energy that the body stores as fat. Fat and cholesterol can collect along the internal
walls of the artery, forming plaques along the artery wall (Atherosclerosis, 1998). These plaques disrupt the flow of blood through the artery, requiring that the heart work harder to
move blood through it. As rocks on the bottom of a stream bed creates turbulence in the water moving over them, so do these plaques have the same effect
