Human Behavior and The Social Environment Introduction Human behavior and social environment explore the mutual relationship between individuals and the social context. It explains how each of these two parties depends on each other for existence (Grignard et al., 2000). The environment provides an excellent habitat for humans and other organisms for stability, survivor, and adaptation. However, in the recent past, human activities have caused and are still causing significant distress in the form of direct and indirect negative impacts on the environment.

Growing old comes with challenges in hearing, vision, strength, and absolute age-related diseases. To deal with these issues, specific individuals have specialized in developing ways to ease the struggle of the aged.

improving healthy eating and promoting physical activity Background This review is a systematic study targeting physical activity and dietary behaviour among children in European primary and secondary schools. In the analysis, School‐based interventions promoting both physical activity and healthy eating in Europe, Debourdeaudhuij et al. (2011) systematically evaluate the evidence of school-based intervention in dietary and physical activity. The authors’ main idea is to promote healthy weight in high school and secondary school children across Europe. The objective of the evaluation was to prevent childhood obesity from an early age in the life of school children. The authors’ main idea is to analyse school-based interventions aimed at improving healthy eating and promoting physical activity which the author states have had an almost futile effect in reducing childhood obesity. Criteria Physical education and appropriate nutritional interventions are the basis by which the study was conducted. The participants targeted by these latter interventions were primary children aged six to twelve years old and secondary children aged twelve to eighteen years old. The review of school-based interventions targeting physical education and dietary habits…
perception of animals’ lives I decided to give up meat and concentrate on eating plant-based foods for five days as a challenge to my ability to control cravings. Meat has been a part of my meals at least twice a day since I was a child. The motivations that led me into trying the vegetarian way included my father’s conversion into being a vegan and the information I have been receiving from various platforms that educate people on healthy diets and how to avoid lifestyle diseases. The main motivations for trying to take the meat off the plate include the environmental, ethical concerns, and health issues associated with eating meat (Moseley, 2017). Religious beliefs also influence the perception of animals’ lives, especially when considering the eastern traditions that are heavily influenced by Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. The ability to shun meat has partly been motivated by the environmental concerns which include the forest covers that are cleared to make room for grazing, the increased carbon dioxide emission into the air, and the waste disposal mechanisms that release the animal waste…

Individuals should strain to adapt to this practice since it has been proved to have a range of benefits. Healthy eating limits the rate at which diseases attack individuals’ bodies and boost the immune system, hence offering sufficient protection. In the case of HIV/AIDS, eating a balanced diet is a way of suppressing this virus; thus, victims have possibilities of living exultant lives. Besides, healthy eating entails vital nutrients, such as fats, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals. In the United States, a healthy diet can be understood through readily available data and the encountered challenges. This trend can be compared in the world so that effective practical steps are to ensure that the U.S. citizens have realized healthy eating.
