Healthy Lifestyle and Personal Control of Grade 7 Students: Basis for Re-engineering the Feeding Program Work Plan

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The action research was conducted to re-engineer the existing feeding program work plan of the school which is based from the assessed healthy lifestyle and personal control variables set in the study.

METHODS

The research adopted the descriptive design in determining the healthy lifestyle and personal control of the 30 severely wasted student-recipient of the feeding program for SY 2018-2019.

RESULTS

It was found that student-recipient of the feeding program have a low level of dietary healthy choice; that they are not engaged in physical exercise; and with an average sense of social and mental balance. These affect their nutritional status and academic performance in school. With that, this research highly recommends its re-engineered work plan for severely wasted students to ensure that the programs set are being followed.

DISCUSSIONS

In the early ages of the students, they need to be aware of their nutritional status. They need to ensure that the normal weight and height must be observed. It is also recommended that enough sleep must be maintained. Students should be careful in their dietary habits. Teacher-in-charge of the school feeding program can create a monitoring log to strictly control the proper food selection of the students in and out of the school premise.
