Risk for Heart Disease
For this discussion, pretend you are creating a wellness plan for someone who is at risk for heart disease. In your plan, address the following points to help guide the person into making healthy lifestyle decisions:
Diet: What should the person eat? What should they avoid?
Social factors: What are some of the social factors that can influence healthy cardiovascular health (as explained in your readings)?
What suggestions would you make based on these factors?
Psychological factors: What are some of the psychological factors that can influence healthy cardiovascular health (as explained in your readings)?
What suggestions would you make based on these factors?
Biological factors: What are some of the biological factors that can influence healthy cardiovascular health (as explained in your readings)? What suggestions would you make based on these factors?
Be sure to draw from the readings, but do not copy and paste or simply re-phrase what is written. This should be a critical reflection about the biopsychosocial factors that influence one’s cardiovascular health.
