Since being healthy includes a sound mind, less worrying over financial problems leads to a stronger, sounder mind.
Drinking a lot of water throughout the day is another health-promoting behavior. Drinking a lot of water adds natural moisture to your skin, giving a fresh glow today and helping the aging process tomorrow. It also helps when I exercise to drink more water because being properly hydrated during exercise allows me to have a better, more productive workout. Drinking water also improves my energy and increases both my mental and physical performance. Additionally it allows for proper digestion and relieves headaches and dizziness. For those reasons I believe that not smoking and drinking water regularly are two of my important health-promoting behaviors.
My Detrimental Health Behaviors
As improvements in health become more necessary and evident, the medical industry will continue to work to improve the overall health of all individuals. However, I have two behaviors that are detrimental to my health, worrying often and poor sleeping habits. Worrying too much is a behavior that is detrimental to my health because it affects my mental health. Worrying does not have any benefits; it does not do you any good, and it may push you over the edge. Worrying can also cause excess stress and addictions, which are not good for the mind. Once I start worrying, things...
Worrying can also cause addictions, which preoccupies you with whatever you are addicted to that it makes performing other tasks extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Poor sleeping habits, such as sleeping only a few hours one night and then too long other nights is also another behavior that I practice that is detrimental to my health.
Lack of proper sleep increases the risk for a variety of illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Many medical studies have been conducted on sleep deprivation, and the majority of these studies conclude that sleep deprivation or disruption, such as shift work, can seriously affect the body's ability to think clearly and accurately and to move or react normally. I believe that this behavior is detrimental to my health because if I am tired from not sleeping regularly, I perform everyday tasks such as driving, poorer. An everyday task such as driving without enough sleep can cause an accident to occur from just not being able to pay attention properly. Not sleeping causes a person to perform everything poorer, and can affect work, which can cause additional stress, and the cycle of detrimental behaviors begins again.

Health Information Technology The development of patient management systems continues to revolutionize the field of healthcare, specifically in the areas of treatment plans, content and records management systems, and predictive analytics. These areas are all making healthcare information and knowledge management a critical success factor in creating effective healthcare information systems globally (Epstein, Fiscella, Lesser, Stange, 2010).

Health Systems Issues and Strategic Planning The delivery of high quality healthcare services requires a sophisticated health system infrastructure that provides a multidisciplinary team approach. This health system infrastructure varies from country to country, but there are some common features that characterize health systems that can be used to identify best practices and current trends in healthcare delivery and administration in general and for an elderly American patient in particular. As
Health Care Systems Over the last several years, America's health care system has been undergoing a tremendous amount of changes. At the heart of these transformations is the role of the federal government in regulating the delivery of various services. For some this is troubling, as it will lead to a larger form of socialized medicine. This is when consumers will have less choice and the underlying quality will decrease. While
Health Promotion: The three levels of prevention in health promotion in nursing practice are primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
