@EM203Methner Early specialization can be detrimental for things such as burn out, injury and loss of love for the game. I believe individuals should play a plethora of sports at a young age. However, sports such as diving and gymnastics do require specialization at a young age

We all want our children to be as physically active as possible, but early specialization could be setting them up for failure! #EM203Robin https://t.co/VGfroIAe8A

@ArissWLU @Playfair97 Well Lucas, I personally like composting to combat food waste, as well as using alternative means of transportation such as public transport or sprinting across campus like naruto if I am in a hurry.

@christianlyle2 @FitnessMagazine simple at home body weight exercises such as squats, lunges, push ups and planks are great for building muscle. Adding reps and reducing rest time help to burn fat too. This lifestyle improves cardiovascular health, injury prevention, mood & quality of life.

@EM203SKrestell Non communicable diseases are greatly affected by our lifestyle and habits. For instance, type II diabetes can be greatly reduced and mitigated by a decreased sedentary life style, proper nutrition, and an increase in physical activity.

[Ben Playfair @BenPlayfair1]

@EM203SBoivin Social factors play a crucial role in health. In many cases individuals have their health reduced as a result of sacrifice for the care of their families. For examples parents reduce physical activity because they are providing for their families via increased work.

@EM203ASandhu Hi Amrit, I believe it's really important that we can apply these models not only in the classroom, but in applied settings such as the workforce. #EM203Robin
