HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AS A VALUE Antoshkina N.A.

Chelyabinsk State University, Chelyabinsk, Russia Abstract

Background: Healthy lifestyle - the lifestyle of an individual with the aim of preventing diseases and promoting health. A healthy lifestyle helps us to fulfill our goals and objectives, to successfully implement our plans, to cope with difficulties, and if necessary, then with enormous overloads. Strong health, supported and strengthened by the person himself, will allow him to live a long and full of joys life.

Health is the priceless wealth of each individual, and of society as a whole. When meeting and parting with people close to us, we always wish them good health, because this is the main condition for a full and happy life.

A healthy lifestyle is not achieved overnight, but we have to be consistent. You have to follow a good plan based on healthy habits. By doing this, our bodies and minds will get in to a rhythm that will eventually become second nature. It's common for people to have routines that are only a little healthy, or not healthy at all. Maybe that's the way it is, because it's easier and more comfortable than doing it correctly (or at least that's the popular belief).

Today healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular both with the old and the young. People have become more health-conscious. They say that the greatest wealth is health. And it's so true. The healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live. Discussion: It is widely known that life expectancy is increasing. But the reason why the average figures are higher than they used to be, say, hundred years ago is not that all people live longer than before. One reason is that, due to medical research, many illnesses were eliminated; the second one is that fewer people die in wars. Generally, the life of modern man is endangered by many factors.

Introduction

Healthy lifestyle - the lifestyle of an individual with the aim of preventing diseases and promoting health. A healthy lifestyle helps us

to fulfill our goals and objectives, to successfully implement our plans, to cope with difficulties, and if necessary, then with enormous overloads.

Strong health, supported and strengthened by the person himself, will allow him to live a long and full of joys life.

Health is the priceless wealth of each individual, and of society as a whole. When meeting and parting with people close to us, we always wish them good health, because this is the main condition for a full and happy life.

A healthy lifestyle is not achieved overnight, but we have to be consistent. You have to follow a good plan based on healthy habits. By doing this, our bodies and minds will get in to a rhythm that will eventually become second nature. It's common for people to have routines that are only a little healthy, or not healthy at all. Maybe that's the way it is, because it's easier and more comfortable than doing it correctly (or at least that's the popular belief).

Today healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular both with the old and the young. People have become more health-conscious. They say that the greatest wealth is health. And it's so true. The healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live.

A healthy diet is an essential part of staying healthy. We know that we should not stuff ourselves with fast food, sweets, sausages, pastry and fat food. Due to medical research, this type of food shortens our life, it leads to obesity, heart and blood vessels diseases, diabetes, gastric problems and lots of other serious ailments. To prevent all these problems we should enjoy well-balanced home-made meals with a lot of organic fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains and seafood. We are what we eat.

Keeping fit and going in for sports is also important for our health. Lack of exercise in our life is a serious problem. In big cities people spend hours sitting in front of computers, TV-sets and other gadgets. We walk less because we mainly use cars and public transport. We certainly don't have to be professional sportsmen, but we should visit fitness clubs, go jogging, walk much, swim, go cycling or roller-skating or just dance. Doctors say that regular moderate physical activity is necessary for our body because it protects us from strokes and heart diseases, flue and obesity.

We must understand the harm of bad habits for our health. Smoking, drinking or taking drugs mean serious illnesses and even death from lung cancer or liver diseases, for instance. Cigarettes kill about 3 million heavy-smokers every year. Drug addicts die very young. So I think there is no place for bad habits in a healthy way of life.

Taking a proper rest and getting enough sleep, from 8 to 10 hours daily, are also great healthy habits. Sleep is the food for our brain and the rest for our muscles. Moreover we should avoid getting nervous or worried for no reason.

Healthy way of life concerns our body, mind and soul. Healthy people live longer, they are more successful and they enjoy their life. I believe that it's not difficult at all to follow these simple rules, and they are worth it.

Healthy nutrition

In this field researches have been repeatedly conducted and many articles written. I took some of them. The first aim of this study was to examine the association between SES and children's fruit, vegetable and breakfast consumption.

Children with a high SES consumed more fruit and vegetables and consumed more often breakfast on a daily basis, than children with a low SES. These findings are in line with those from the majority of similar studies and emphasise that children from low socio- economic groups can be considered an important target for interventions to improve dietary behaviour.

However, maternal education level, (and other measures of SES), are not considered to have a direct effect on dietary behaviour and are not easily modifiable. To explain socioeconomic disparities in children's dietary behaviour, several studies examined socioeconomic differences in the home food environment of children. These studies showed that the home food environment of children of mothers with a low educational level was less supportive than the home food environment of children of mothers with a high educational level.

For example, adolescents of mothers with a low educational level were more likely to report that unhealthy foods were always or usually available at home, while adolescents of

mothers with a high educational level were more likely to report that fruit was always or usually available at home and that vegetables were always served at dinner time. In addition, a study among 5-6 year old children found comparable results; households of mothers with a low educational level were more likely to watch television while eating dinner and mothers with a low educational level were more likely to have negative perceptions about the quality and variety of fresh fruit and vegetables at their local shops.

Furthermore, Hupkens et al. found that mothers with a high educational level more often limited their children's intake of unhealthy foods (e.g. sweets, soft drinks, chips). These differences in the number of restricted foods by educational level were partly explained in health and taste considerations between mothers with a low and high educational level. A more recent study also found socio-economic differences in food parenting practices; frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables, restrictive rules, verbal praise, negotiation and restrain from negative modelling were all more common among mothers with a high educational level. The present study also shows that aspects of the home food environment differed by SES, where low SES had the less supportive home environment.

However, socio-economic differences in determinants of the home food environment do not necessarily account for socio-economic differences in children's dietary behaviour. Therefore, a second aim of this study was to investigate modifiable factors of the home food environment that mediate the association between SES and children's fruit, vegetable and breakfast consumption.

We included parental intake, home availability and parental rules about children's fruit and vegetable consumption as possible mediating variables in the association between SES and children's fruit and vegetable intake. Our results indicate that all the studied home environmental factors mediate the association between SES and children's fruit and vegetable intake.

Moreover, our results indicate that the difference in fruit and vegetable consumption between children with a low and high SES is

explained in particular by parental intake of fruit and vegetables. Very few studies have assessed mediators of the association between socio-economic status and children's fruit and vegetables intake.

Vereecken et al. found that differences in children's fruit and vegetable. consumption by mother's educational level were completely explained by mother's consumption and parenting practices.

Bere et al. concluded that home accessibility was the strongest mediator of the association between maternal educational level and adolescent's fruit and vegetable consumption.

Furthermore, Hilsen et al. also found that accessibility of fruit and vegetables mediates part of the association between socioeconomic status and adolescent's fruit and vegetable intake. Eleven studies reported on outcomes of food consumption and the overall energy intake of primary school-aged children.

Curriculum-based approaches were the most popular (seven studies) and reported achieving statistical significance of p < 0.05 or better across nine studies reducing food consumption or energy intake outcomes. However, researchers were able to calculate effect sizes across six of the reported outcomes and found that four showed minimal or no effect, one had a negative effect and one reported a small effect size.

The mean effect size of curriculum-based approaches is minimal (Md = 0.12) and would suggest that curriculum-based approaches alone are not the best influence on reducing food consumption or energy intake. In light of these findings, it is important to note that the high levels of heterogeneity among the included primary school healthy eating programs, does not make it possible to make firm conclusions.

However, the findings have been supported in other literature, with experiential learning strategies, such as garden-enhanced learning strategies, positively influencing vegetable preferences and consumption among primary school children, which has been found to be the strongest predictor of future consumption. Similar to this review, Langellotto & Gupta, who used meta-analytic techniques, found that school gardens and associated teaching

strategies increased vegetable consumption in children, whereas the impacts of nutrition education programs were marginal or nonsignificant.

There are two possible reasons for these findings: 1) school gardens increase access to vegetables; and 2) gardening decreases children's reluctance to try new foods. Birch and colleagues have also stated that in order to improve primary school children's healthy food preferences, experiences and strategies need to increase availability and accessibility to increase exposure to those foods that will then affect their willingness to taste.

The Diffusion of Innovations Model provided an organizing framework to present emergent themes. With the exception of tria-bility (not relevant in the context of mandated guidelines/policies), the key attributes of the Diffusion of Innovations Model (relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, and observability) provided a robust framework for understanding themes associated with implementation of mandated guidelines. Specifically, implementation of the DPA and FBSS guidelines was facilitated by perceptions that they: were relatively advantageous compared to status quo; were compatible with school mandates and teaching philosophies; had observable positive impacts and impeded when perceived as complex to understand and implement. In addition, a number of contextual factors including availability of resources facilitated implementation.

This study is - to the best of our knowledge - the first to provide knowledge on the relationship between cognitive ability and health. On the basis of the present data it is concluded that the relationship between cognitive ability and health can at least be partly explained by the link between cognitive ability and health related behaviour. In this study, self-control does not explain the link between cognitive ability and health related behaviour. Future studies need to replicate the present findings and investigate, with different methodologies, if similar findings are found for different health behaviours as well as for other methods of measuring self-control. Both the type and frequency of snacking events have been implicated in hypercaloric diets, and it has been shown that discretionary food

choices are responsible for up to a third of our total dietary energy intake.

Identifying potentially modifiable factors that influence snacking is paramount for preventing and treating obesity. Previous studies have underlined the importance of internal and external cues for snacking behaviour. In this study, we aim at providing further evidence for the validity of the PFS in explaining day-to-day snacking behaviour by examining whether the effects of environmental cues on snacking are moderated by PFS scores. Importantly, rather than relying on retrospective measures of triggers and dietary behaviours, we use ecological momentary assessment methods to collect real-time data on eating and environmental stimuli.

This technique overcomes many of the limitations in recall-based eating assessments such as biased memory and memory lapses, and in addition is able to capture the presence or absence of food cues present during everyday eating. As regards healthy diet, we found no relations between lifestyle coaching and any type of motivation for healthy diet. A higher educational level and participating in the Start up or Supervised exercise programme predicted lower amotivation.

Participating in these exercise programmes also predicted higher integrated motivation. Sleep is an essential component of healthy development and is required for physical and mental health. However, declines in adolescents' sleep duration observed in recent decades are concerning and it is time that we make better sleep a national health priority. In our busy, work-obsessed society, sleep is seen as a luxury or a waste of time.

There is strong evidence demonstrating that insufficient sleep leads to obesity and is associated with a long list of adverse health problems. Lack of sleep increases food intake and is associated with more screen time. A good night's sleep can improve the success of weight loss interventions by facilitating appetite control and increasing physical activity level in some individuals. Health care providers should include sleep questions in their health assessment, especially if the behavior modifications target diet and screen time.

Physical activity

Sport plays an important role in the life of teenagers. Those people who go in for sports, lead a healthy lifestyle, follow a diet and control their weight tend to be more cheerful and are less susceptible to diseases.

On the other hand, those people who don't participate in any physical activity and prefer junk food tend to be subjected to obesity and are at risk of heart and vascular diseases. As a matter of fact, the problem of obesity is one of the most pressing in the modern world. Today more and more teenagers are becoming overweight.

One solution that can be put forward is doing sports, which can help teens not only to lose excessive weight and to stay fit, but also to feel more vigorous and spirited throughout the day. Physical exercises are also the perfect way for emotional release. To improve school performance it is essential for school children to balance mental stimulation and physical activity. Besides, it is necessary to mention that supporters of healthy life style are also at much less risk of getting involved in drinking alcohol, taking drugs and other bad habits than those who are addicted to computer games, instead. In addition, sports develop the will for victory, as well as caseharden the constitution and the spirit. Sports also create opportunities to find congenial souls with common interests and values. That feeling that you are a part of the team can help to develop your leadership skills and to boost your self-esteem.

The most popular team sports for teenagers are football, volleyball, basketball and tennis. However, some youngsters prefer winter sports, such as figure-skating, ice-hockey and skiing, while others are fond of summer sports, including diving, swimming, yachting and rafting.

As far as I am concerned, I do like sports. I usually wake up at 7 a.m. and go for a run or do my morning exercises indoors. Twice a week I take my fitness classes and go to the swimming pool. I am also fond of yoga which teaches me how to take care of my body properly and how to stay healthy, flexible and strong. In summer I like to play badminton and volleyball with my friends, while in winter I go to the skating rink. As for dieting, I am a follower of separate nutrition. When you

eat separately you can eat almost anything but not at the same time. For instance, for breakfast I prefer a plate of oatmeal, a glass of orange juice and two apples. As is known, "an apple a day keeps a doctor away".

For dinner I can eat fresh vegetables and some steamed fish. Besides, I prefer mineral water and fresh juices to fizzy drinks. Physical activity and exercise, when undertaken regularly, are highly beneficial for health, and for physical and psychological well-being. Yet, only a minority in modern societies reports engaging in physical exercise at a level compatible with most public health guidelines. For instance, 2009 data indicate that, on a typical week, 60% of adults in Europe engaged in no physical exercise or sports.

In the US, less than 50% of adults are considered regularly physically active while in Canada new accelerometer data shows that only 15% of adults meet national physical activity recommendations. Such findings suggest that many people lack sufficient motivation to participate in the 150 minutes of moderately intense exercise or physical activity a per week recommended. Indeed, approximately 40% of Europeans agree with the statement: "Being physically active does not really spare time".

Lack of motivation can broadly be explained by two orders of factors. First, as highlighted in the previous statistic, people may not be sufficiently interested in exercise, or value its outcomes enough to make it a priority in their lives. Many individuals experience competing demands on their time from educational, career, and family obligations, possibly at the expense of time and resources that could be invested in exercising regularly.

Second, some people may not feel sufficiently competent at physical activities, feeling either not physically fit enough or skilled enough to exercise, or they may have health limitations that present a barrier to activity. Whether it be low interest or low perceived competence, the physical activity participation data indicate that many people are either unmotivated (or amotivated), having no intention to be more physically active, or are insufficiently motivated in the face of other interests or demands on their time. In addition to those who are unmotivated, another source of

short-lived persistence in exercise behaviors comes from people who do express personal motivation to exercise regularly, yet initiate exercise behaviors with little follow through. Specifically, a significant percentage of people may exercise because of controlled motivations, where participation in activities like going to the gym or running regularly is based on a feeling of "having to" rather than truly "wanting to" participate.

Controlled forms of motivation, which by definition are not autonomous (i.e., they lack volition), are predominant when the activity is perceived primarily as a means to an end and are typically associated with motives or goals such as improving appearance or receiving a tangible reward. One hypothesis then is that the stability of one's motivation is at least partially dependent on some of its qualitative features, particularly the degree of perceived autonomy or of an internal perceived locus of causality. That is, the level of reflective self-endorsement and willingness associated with a behavior or class of behaviors should be associated with greater persistence.

An utilitarian approach to exercise (and to exercise motivation), such as might be prevalent in fitness clubs or other settings where exercise is externally prescribed, could thus be partially responsible for the high dropout rate observed in exercise studies. In fact, the pervasiveness of social and medical pressures toward weight loss, combined with externally prescriptive methods may be ill-suited to promote sustained increases in population physical activity levels.

The results show consistent support for a positive relation between more autonomous forms of motivation and exercise, with a trend towards identified regulation predicting initial/short-term adoption more strongly than intrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation being more predictive of long-term exercise adherence.

The literature is also consistent in that competence satisfaction and more intrinsic motives positively predict exercise participation across a range of samples and settings. Mixed evidence was found concerning the role of other types of motives (e.g., health/fitness and body-related), and also the specific nature and consequences of introject-

ed regulation. The majority of studies have employed descriptive (i.e., non-experimental) designs but similar results are found across cross-sectional, prospective, and experimental designs.

A few studies used a broad definition of sport without providing further context of participation. Sport participation versus no sport participation was found to be significantly associated with enhanced self-concept. A longitudinal study also reported benefits of participation in sport compared to no participation, in relation to lower rates of suicidal ideation including both thoughts and intentions. In terms of the effect of sport participation on shyness, a longitudinal study with measurement at baseline and one year later found that sport was positively associated with positive adjustment (e.g. social skills and self-esteem) and that sport played a uniquely protective role for shy children, with shy children who participated in sport over time reporting significant decreases in anxiety. Similarly, in a qualitative study of focus groups of parents of young people participating in sport, social factors as well as life skills and self-concept were stated as benefits of participation.

There is substantive evidence of many different psychological and social health benefits of participation in sport by children and adolescents. Furthermore, there is a general consensus that participation in sport for children and adolescence is associated with improved psychological and social health, above and beyond other forms of leisure-time PA.

More specifically, there are reports that participation in team sports rather than individual activities is associated with better health. It is conjectured that this is due to the social nature of team sport, and that the health benefits are enhanced through positive involvement of peers and adults. However, the research is predominantly based on cross-sectional studies.

In light of the research evidence, acknowledging that research to date is predominantly based on cross-sectional studies, it is recommended that community sport participation is advocated as a form of leisure time PA for children and adolescents; in an effort to not only improve the obesity crisis associated with low PA levels, but to enhance other psy-

chological and social health outcomes. It is also recommended that the causal link between participation in sport and health be further investigated and the conceptual model of health through sport tested. Furthermore, in light of the fact that our assessment of the quality of the studies to date has revealed considerable variation in study quality, it is recommended that researchers should give more attention to protocols such as consort and strobe in order to ensure high levels of methodological rigor in future studies.

The key finding of this study was that many practical and potentially modifiable aspects of the home environment were associated with preschool children's physical activity and dietary patterns. Parents are important in terms of role-modelling physical activity, providing a safe and interesting backyard for children to play in, setting rules about how small screen entertainment is used in the home, behavioural approaches to family food consumption, and providing healthy food choices in the home. Preschool years are a key time as children spend a large proportion of time at home and this study supports focusing on the family home environment for obesity prevention and management.

Childhood obesity is a growing epidemic and has become a public health priority in developed countries. Over the past few decades, prevalence rates of childhood obesity have tripled, with recent estimates indicating that 16.9% and 8.6% of children are obese in United States and Canada respectively. Obesity negatively impacts a child's self-esteem and results in diminished quality of life.

Moreover, children with high body mass index (BMI) often become obese adults, who are at increased risk of developing obesity-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, car-dio-vascular disease, and certain types of cancer, and place significant financial burden on healthcare systems. Poor diets and inadequate physical activity are widely acknowledged as the main drivers of the obesity epidemic. As childhood obesity rates continue to rise, the effects of unhealthy eating, compounded by increasingly sedentary lifestyles, emphasize the need to identify comprehensive health promotion approaches to curb the worsening trends.

Recent reviews suggest the use of school-based interventions to address the childhood obesity epidemic. Schools are the ideal setting given their ability to reach nearly all children who spend a significant proportion of their time in schools. Moreover, school-based programs influence children's learning environments at a young age where healthy habits can be taught and practiced, resulting in improved health and wellness later in life.

Conclusion

It is widely known that life expectancy is increasing. But the reason why the average figures are higher than they used to be, say, hundred years ago is not that all people live longer than before. One reason is that, due to medical research, many illnesses were eliminated; the second one is that fewer people die in wars. Generally, the life of modern man is endangered by many factors. One is the increasing pollution of the environment by industry and transport; another one is sedentary lifestyle of people living in cities and towns, that is, the majority of the population of the planet. The third one is the quality of food we eat and water we drink which results in a lot of diseases. The fourth one is that living in big cities leads to epidemics, and even pandemics of many catchy illnesses. Unhealthy life results in the fact that many people are overweight.

The only possible way of preserving your health is, therefore, healthy way of life which includes keeping fit, balanced meals, and giving up unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, and, of course, drugs.

Physical fitness is a general state of good physical health. For anyone who really wants to be healthy, fitness has become an integral part of their lives. The fitness boom resulted in a rise in the numbers of people participating in sports and sports activities. It is a well-known fact that even moderate physical activity can protect you from heart diseases and strokes, obesity and influenza. There are many ways of keeping fit. Firstly, you could visit health and fitness clubs. A lot of health and fitness clubs, public leisure centres, huge indoor water parks are very popular among people of all ages. Secondly, regular exercise is necessary. People of different ages can choose or design exercises that will fit them.

Some people do aerobics or yoga; others prefer weight training in a gym. Many people prefer walking or jogging which are the cheapest and most accessible sports. Doing some sport or other on a regular basis is the best way of keeping fit. In Russia a number of sports activities are popular among the old and the young: football, swimming, cycling, skiing, skating, fishing, hunting, rollerskating, etc. Mass running competitions gain popularity with Russians. City marathons have become sporting events reported on the radio, television and in the press.

A healthy diet is an important part of staying healthy, too. This diet contains reduced amounts of cholesterol, fat, sugar and salt. It helps protect our body from a wide range of diseases; the most dangerous are heart diseases, liver diseases, and cancer.

To stay healthy one must, of course, abstain from smoking. Everybody knows smoking is hazardous for your health and can lead to fatal diseases like cancer. Smoking should undoubtedly be banned in all public places.

Аннотация. Здоровый образ жизни - это образ жизни человека с целью профилактики заболеваний и укрепления здоровья. Здоровый образ жизни помогает нам реализовывать наши цели и задачи, успешно реализовывать наши планы, справляться с трудностями, а если нужно, то и с огромными перегрузками. Крепкое здоровье, поддерживаемое и укрепляемое самим человеком, позволит ему прожить долгую и полную радостей жизнь.

Здоровье - это бесценное богатство каждого человека и общества в целом. Встречаясь и расставаясь с близкими нам людьми, мы всегда желаем им крепкого здоровья, ведь это главное условие полноценной и счастливой жизни.

Здоровый образ жизни не достигается в одночасье, но мы должны быть последовательными. Вы должны следовать хорошему плану, основанному на здоровых привычках. Делая это, наши тела и умы войдут в ритм, который со временем станет второй натурой. Обычно у людей есть рутины, которые только немного здоровы или не здоровы вообще. Может быть, так оно и есть, потому что это проще и удобнее, чем делать это правильно (или, по крайней мере, таково распространенное мнение).

Сегодня здоровый образ жизни становится все более популярным как у старых, так и у молодых. Люди стали больше заботиться о своем здоровье. Говорят, что самое большое бо-гатство-это здоровье. И это так верно. Чем мы здоровее, тем лучше себя чувствуем. Чем лучше мы себя чувствуем, тем дольше живем.

Дискуссия: Широко известно, что продолжительность жизни растет. Но причина, по которой средние показатели выше, чем они были, скажем, сто лет назад, не в том, что все люди живут дольше, чем раньше. Одна из причин заключается в том, что благодаря медицинским исследованиям многие болезни были устранены; вторая причина заключается в том, что в

войнах умирает меньше людей. Вообще, жизнь современного человека находится под угрозой многих факторов. Одна из них-растущее загрязнение окружающей среды промышленностью и транспортом; другой - это оседлый образ жизни людей, живущих в городах и поселках, то есть большинства населения планеты. Третье - это качество пищи, которую мы едим, и воды, которую мы пьем, что приводит к множеству болезней. Четвертая - это то, что жизнь в больших городах приводит к эпидемиям и даже пандемиям многих броских болезней. Нездоровая жизнь приводит к тому, что многие люди имеют избыточный вес.

Ключевые слова: здоровый образ жизни; здоровье; сохранения здоровья; укрепление здоровья; здоровое питание; движенье и здоровье.
