I am concerned about my sibling's eating and exercise habits. How can I keep my him healthy?

Answer 1

Please elaberabte on the questions, is he over eating and over exercising or under eating and under exercising.

Answer 2

Your question is a bit vague. Basically, it really depends on whether he/she is willing to change her eating and exercise habits. Fundamentally, one has to know that in order to keep oneself healthy, he/she has to balance his/her meals. Exercise is also important. If your sibling is a male, he should be able to have a larger serving and exercise more than a female and vice versa. Next, you also have to take into consideration about the age of your sibling. If your sibling is a child, you need to strictly follow this basic rule: Less salt, sugar and fats; but, more in vitamins and minerals, dietary fibre, proteins and water. If your sibling is a teenager, include more carbohydrate and protein foods. Also, don't forget about vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and water. Although dietary fibre and water are not really considered as nutrients, they are known to be integral components of the food we eat every day. If your sibling is an adult (which is pretty unlikely), do include the same.

Sometimes eating can be affected by psychological changes. When it does happen, you have to be very careful: a person, especially a female, can suffer from anorexia nervosa or bulimia.

Why do people treat exercise so important? There is a balance between food intake or rather energy intake and energy expenditure. If the energy intake is 'heavier' than energy expenditure, that person is likely to be overweight and may have a higher risk of getting health problems like coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc. and vice versa. The food we take in/ consume is the energy. We need to do exercise not only to keep fit but also to lose weight. There are studies that show exercise help to lose weight, plus having a breakfast with foods that are high in dietary fibre. Exercise also helps to release/ give out excess heat (or called waste heat). A person is likely to have a fever or any other minor illnesses easily because they don't exercise.

For more information, you can consult a dietician, if possible.

Answer 3

Good example is one. Not keeping junk food in the house is another.

Answer 5

Let your parents worry about them. They know what's best for your brother more than you do. So I would mind my own business and let my parents do the work.
