Habituation and Dishabituation

Health Promotion: Lowering Personal Cholesterol Levels
[ send me this paper ]
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.
