Students related to this lesson when they calculated their individual BMI and compared it to statistics which illustrated BMI and its relation to cardiovascular diseases.

As teachers we must also inspire our students to practice what we preach and using HFLE in this lesson did in fact encourage students to apply their lessons learnt to improve their personal health.
