INTRODUCTION
Skills are ability or capacity that are acquired through deliberate, and sustained efforts to
smoothly and adaptability to carry out complex activities of study, job function and involving
ideas(Putwain, Sander and Larkin, 2013).This report is going to analysis key resources available
to facilitate own learning and study with adoption of time management techniques for study

TASK 2
Investigation of impact of lifestyle choices on individual's health
Choices of lifestyle effectively has an impact on individual's health. Each choice made by
individuals are very much inclined on the kind of wellness which is achieved by an individual.
There are various choices adopted by individual to consume certain things or adopt
certain activity which could be harmful for their health (Phelps, 2016). Consumption of these
choices has certain health effects which are discussed below: Tobacco: One of the major substance is tobacco which is one of the worse choice for a
bad health. It has various risks associated with through and mouth cancer and other lung-
related disease due to development of tar in lungs. Gambling: It is another choice which have negative effect on the brain processes.
Moreover, this addiction could induce negative health outcomes in relation to blood
pressure, heart rate and certain brain functions. Drinking: Long-term effects in health of people who choose to drink are very much
negative as there are health outcomes like liver cirrhosis. Its elasticity is measured in
context with deaths due to such diseases. However, consuming alcohol could be really
grieving and unfavourable for personal health.
 Cocaine: Another worse choice having negative impact on health is consumption of
cocaine. Higher the quantity, more negative are the after effects of the same on health.

Several other choices between different group of people effect the health outcomes in
terms of food consumption. There are two types of vegans: health and ethical. There are various
choices regarding consumption of basic vegetarian food items which have different impact on
individuals.
 Life expectancy varies in terms of health and ethical vegan. The latter tend to experience
higher rate of life expectancy. The reason for the same is because ethical vegans
completely follow vegetable diets which have several nutrients absent in non-vegertarian
diet.
 Vitamin and soy supplement consumption is more in ethical vegan's case than in health
vegans. This is because health vegans take other supplements like meat and eggs which
fulfil their needs for vitamins (Radnitz, Beezhold and DiMatteo, 2015). However, in case
of ethical vegans, each individual are dependant on soy supplements and vegetarian food
items rich in vitamin.
 Lastly, Fruit consumption is higher in case of ethical vegan. They tend to eat fruits more
frequently than health vegans and thus, it benefits their health in a more positive manner
than that of the latter.
There are various diseases like cancer which could be mitigated or fought with through
effective life choices. For instance, physical activities have a certain impact on health and is
directly related with leading a healthy life. Those individuals who choose to adopt physical
activities are likely to be quite healthy throughout their lives than those who don't choose to be
fit.
Where dietary habits are concerned, people choosing to include essential elements like
vitamins and nutrients are healthier than those eating junk food and tend to remain healthier than
other individuals. Lastly, people who adopt smoking as a regular chosen activity remain
unhealthy as they are very much exposed to dangerous respiratory diseases. Moreover, people
who choose not to smoke remain healthier than other beings.
