Being in the best of health throughout
your life means making healthy
choices and practicing healthful
behaviors.
Your Health can be looked at as a triangle
with Physical, Mental/Emotional, and Social Health making up the three sides of the Health Triangle.
When a person’s Health Triangle is balanced they have
a high degree of Wellness which is an overall state of well-
being, or total health.
Health & Wellness are dynamic (always changing). Your level of
Health & Wellness can be measured on a Continuum
Understanding how heredity,
environment, and other factors affect your health can help
you make healthy decisions.
Of all of the influences on your health the one you have the most control
over is:
Behavior / Attitude
Risk behaviors can harm your health,
but there are steps you can take to avoid or reduce
these risks.
Risk behaviors are actions that can potentially threaten your health or the health of
others.
A type of risk is called cumulative risk. Cumulative risks are related risks that increase in effect with each added risk.
Abstinence can keep you safe from disease, injury and other
health problems.
Abstinence is avoiding harmful behaviors.
Developing proper health habits is very important. These habits, or personal behaviors, related to the way a person lives are called lifestyle factors.
Prevention may be the most important thing you can learn,
and practice, where your health is concerned
Prevention is practicing health and safety habits to remain free of disease and
injury.
Individual, family, community, and national health
require planning and responsible behavior on everyone’s part.
