How can you design a more healthful diet regarding carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fluid balance, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
2) Design a sound fitness program for yourself based on an exercise regimen and diet that will balance your caloric intake and energy expenditure to improve your overall physical fitness and calorie maintenance.

If you are already maintaining or participating in an exercise program, discuss the frequency of the activity, type of exercise, intensity and length of the sessions. Include a detailed discussion of your activity schedule and the benefits observed. How might you adjust / alter your program to obtain maximal health benefits?
3) Discuss the potential benefits and potential health hazards of incorporating various dietary supplements in your daily nutrition regime - choose at least 5 in your discussion ( DO NOT SELECT VITAMINS OR MINERALS ).
