What’s New

Directions: Say something about these pictures.

Check your understanding!

Try to answer these questions briefly.

➢ Is it your responsibility to use health information wisely to guide

your day-to-day activities?

➢ When do you start to live a healthy and a happy life?

10

What is It

When you were younger, you did not think much about your health.

Your parents, teachers, and other caring adults looked out for your health.

They made sure that you ate the right food, had regular medical check-up

and immunizations, and other health practices.

As an adolescent, your personal health now becomes your

responsibility. Every day you make health decisions so it is very important

that you know correct health information. It is therefore, your responsibility

to use health information wisely to guide your day- to-day activities.

Live a healthy and happy life. This must start early in life. Your health

habits and practices today as well as in the past, will greatly affect the status

of your future health.

Nowadays, health focuses on wellness. It is a positive approach that

includes all the dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social

and moral-spiritual. Health is the well-being of your body, mind, and your

relationship with others. On the other hand, wellness means striving to live

your life to achieve your fullest potential, making decisions, and acting in

healthy ways. It is practicing positive health behaviors based on sound

knowledge and healthy attitudes. You are likely to have a high degree of

wellness if you have a balanced life. Being healthy means having a balance

of the dimensions of health. This results in attaining holistic health. Holistic

concepts of health and maintaining good health as requiring more than just

taking care of the various singular components that make up the physical

body, additionally incorporating aspects such as mental, emotional, social,

spiritual-moral and environmental well-being. The goal is wellness that

encompasses the entire person, rather than just the lack of physical pain or

disease.

Overall good health and wellness are inter-dependent on six

dimensions. Health dimensions are like separate pieces that need to be fitted

together to make meaning.

A healthy child is active at home and school. He/she is active to do the

household routine like cleaning the house and the backyard. He/she has

time to join with his/her parents in prayers, attending masses and worship

activities. He/she is alert and participative in classroom activities. He/she

enjoys being his/her friends, classmates, and other children in the school.

He/she is also practicing and active attending the environmental activities in

their place like tree planting and waste segregation.

Being healthy is way better than being sick. Your health is made up of

physical, mental, social, spiritual-moral and environmental resources that

allow you to live a satisfying and productive life. Optimal health indicates a

high level of functioning and is often characterized by vitality, a zest for life

and a sense of harmony with nature and humanity.

Physical Health

It means how well your body functions. It

is a state of well-being when all internal

and external body parts, organs, tissues

and cells can function properly as they

are supposed to function. It includes

being physically fit, eating nutritiously,

and getting adequate rest and sleep.

Mental Health means being a

lifelong learner by continuously

wanting to learn new things and

improve one’s skills. A mentally

healthy person is open to new ideas

and experiences that can improve

life, family, and environment.

He/she is aware of his or her own

abilities, can cope normal stresses

in life, able to work regularly and

productively, and is also able to contribute for the improvement of

community.

Health

Health is a state of complete physical, mental or intellectual,

emotional, social, moral-spiritual and environmental well-being, and

not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Health is a resource for everyday life, not the object of living, and is

a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources as well

as physical capabilities.

12

Social health refers to how well you get along with other people, how other

people react and how you interact with

social institutions. It involves your

ability to form satisfying interpersonal

relationships with others. It also

relates to your ability to adapt

comfortably to different social

situations and act appropriately in a

variety of situations. Each of these

relationships should include strong

communication skills, empathy for

others and a sense of accountability.

Emotional health involves

understanding and liking yourself as well as accepting and learning from

your mistakes. It refers to how well you

meet the demand of daily life and how you adjust to new situations. It also

means expressing your happiness, love,

joy and hope as well as your sadness, anger, stress and fear in healthful

productive ways.

Moral-Spiritual health means being

at peace and in harmony with

yourself, and others. It refers to your religion, principles, personal beliefs,

values and faith. It involves the

quality of personal relationships or a love of nature. It involves a sense that

life has meaning and purpose and

that you are in harmony in your

purpose in life.
