Design And Implementation Of Internet-based Health Website

As society’s economy is developing rapidly, people’s work pressure is also increasing,resulting in less time to exercise to keep fit. At the same time, one’s lifestyle is also improving,more people are starting to care about their health. Two ideas are conflicting. Yet, because the useof the Internet is becoming more popular due to its ease of use, fast accessibility to informationand unlimited by time or space. Therefore, creating a website that concerns one’s health is aworthwhile, meaningful matter.The ‘Healthy Web’ which is illustrated in this article is a website that provides exercise anddietary guidance to achieve weight targets. The human weight is mainly controlled by consumingcalories. This article mainly make references to the calorie consumption calculator model madeavailable by the American College of Sports Medicine, and a list of food ingredients provided bythe Institute for Nutrition and Food Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control andPrevention, and the Chinese Nutrition Society, to become the guidance standard for users of thewebsite to keep fit and lose weight.When a human body’s total calorie intake is larger than the total calorie consumption, thenthe excessive energy/calories will be converted into fat that accumulates in the human body,increasing the body weight; When the human body’s total calorie intake is smaller than the totalconsumption of calories, the body will consume the fat and consequently reducing the bodyweight; If the daily total calorie intake is similar to the calorie consumption, then the body weightremains unchanged. This article shall illustrate how to achieve fitness through the usage of theInternet. The website’s functional modules will be described accordingly.This website uses ASP.net2.0technology, making Visual studio2010as the development tool,C#as the development language and uses Microsoft SQL Server2005database to provide datastorage and logic processing. The technical structure uses a3-layer technical structure, which areExpression Layer (or User Interface Layer), Task Logic Layer, Data Storage Layer.The website design mentioned has gone through testing to validate the executability of theInternet to achieve fitness and lose weight. Due to certain limitations, testing in a large populationwas not possible, and the eventual effectiveness of the website to provide fitness needs furtherverification.
