Healthy lifestyle of the individual - the way to the health of population

The bachelor thesis summarizes the basic information about healthy lifestyle and it deals with this issue. It presents categories regarding healthy lifestyle and it presents the current scientific findings and recommendations in the area. The theoretical part is aimed at areas of lifestyle. It deals with the factors affecting human health and their division with regards to their importance. It aims particularly at the four main elements, which include: nutrition, smoking, stress, alcohol drugs abuse. I selected the factors as they related to human decisions the most and that is why they are more dependent on human will. First of all I am dealing with nutrition, particularly its optimum composition and effect on health. I further focus on stress and its mental and physical impacts on people. At the end of the theoretical part I am dealing with the question what the impact of smoking and alcohol and drugs abuse is on the human body. In the practical part, the research results are presented, focused on the issue above. The research part of the thesis realized in form of a questionnaire deals with nutrition, smoking, physical activity and health care in general in people working in the South-Bohemian Region. During the research I found out that women are more interested in their lifestyle than men, but they rather invest time while men mostly invest money. The research further documents that in people with elementary education there is higher percentage of smokers than in people with higher education. In the area of nutrition I focused on the difference between nutritional habits of men and women. I found out that women's diet is usually healthier that that of men, mainly because they are more interested in the nutrition quality, compared to men who do not care for the nutrition quality much. Therefore my thesis shows how people working in the South-Bohemian Region care fore their health and how they are interested in their lifestyle
