An unbalanced diet could also be one that provides too much of certain nutrients as in the case of the American diet. It provides too much fat resulting in a high percentage of the population being overweigh or obese. This creates many health problems for those affected like heart disease, strokes, circulatory problems and others.

My Clients feels good about themselves. Experts have warned that not doing exercise is as bad for health as smoking a packet of cigarettes each day. The World Heart Federation said physical inactivity doubles the chances of developing heart disease and increases the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. Doctors estimate that between 65% and 85% of the world’s population fail to take enough exercise. Many people take no physical activity during a typical week. Physical inactivity is the most common risk factor for heart disease in the UK with 7 out of 10 women and 6 out of 10 men not active enough to achieve health benefits.
If you have done less than 30 minutes of the sort of physical activity that made you feel warm and slightly out of breath in the last week then you are physically inactive. It is estimated that in the UK, about 36% of deaths from heart disease in men and 38% of deaths from heart disease in women are related to lack of physical activity as compared to only 19% of heart disease deaths being related to smoking.

Sometimes my client Hillary is sometimes stressed at work this is why I have identified this as a risk. Stress levels are an important part of my client emotional health because if it is not healthy, all the other aspects of my clients Health and well being could be affected.
Emotional health is needed to motivate all the other aspects of my clients health and well being. Responses to stress include adaptation, psychological coping such as stress management, anxiety, and depression. Where stress enhances function (physical or mental, such as through strength training or challenging work) it may be considered eustress. Persistent stress that is not resolved through coping or adaptation may lead to escape (anxiety) or withdrawal (depression) behavior. The fulcrum of the stress response is a disparity between experience (real or imagined) and personal expectations and resources.
A person living in a fashion consistent with personally-accepted expectations has no stress even if the conditions might be interpreted as adverse from some outside perspective – rural people may live in comparative poverty, and yet be unstressed if there is a sufficiency according to their expectations. If there is chronic disparity between experience and expectations, stress may be relieved by adjustment of expectations to meet the ongoing experiences or conditions. Stress can also be triggered by alarming experiences, either real or imaginary. Common factors of stress
