Mr Ojomu is a 42 year male of African origin. He has a demanding desk-based job and frequently has to work long hours. He rarely eats regular meals and so has developed a habit of snacking on foods with high salt, fat and sugar contents. He routinely drinks at least 4 cups of coffee a day and at least one bottle of coca cola. Recently he has noticed that he has put on weight and easily gets out of breath when walking, he feels tired on waking, often suffers muscular aches and pains and experiences bouts of anxiety over his workload.
Using four of the systems from the list below, explain what steps
Mr Ojomu should take to improve his overall physical and mental
health. Include in your answer how the body systems you have
selected work together to normalise body functions. 500 words
Human body systems
• The endocrine system
• The nervous system
• The cardio-vascular system
• The respiratory system
• The urinary system
• The lymphatic and immune system
