Why is it important to personally evaluate your health?
It is important so I know what areas to work with on my own personal self.
Behavior: the way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others.
Quality of Life: the standard of health, comfort, and happiness experienced by an individual or
group.

To be balanced means that we are healthy, physically and emotionally. We eat a variety of
healthy food, get enough rest and exercise, have close relationships with people, find meaning
and purpose in something, have several healthy ways to express our feelings, and do things
that make us happy and contribute to the well -being of others. Teens involved with clubs,
groups, sports, or art have more friends, get more exercise, learn new things and spend time
with other people who care about the same things they do. Teens who are involved in
extracurricular activities also are less likely to participate in unhealthy or risky behaviors.
As of 2015, in the state of California, if you are covered under your parents/guardians health
insurance, you can receive services like birth control, STI tests, pregnancy tests, drug
information, or outpatient mental health services from your healthcare provider without your
parents/guardians consent. You can also talk to your doctor about personal family or school
issues, or feelings about sex and sexuality. These conversations and medical treatments are
confidential, which means they are private. A parent or guardian cannot find out.
The only time a health care provider can break confidentiality is if you are experiencing physical
or sexual abuse, or you are at risk for hurting yourself or hurting others.
Teens who minimize screen time are likely to be healthier than teens who spend more time
watching TV, on the computer or playing video games. If you are not getting 60 minutes of
physical activity each day, you might consider replacing one hour of screen time with something
that requires your body to move more.
Breakfast is really important if you want to avoid being tired, distracted, overly hungry and
snacking. Breakfast sets the tone for the day and even other meals. Try getting up a little earlier
or packing small portions of healthy food you can eat on the go could be a well-balanced option.
People who skip breakfast tend to snack more and overeat at other meals and throughout the
day because they get so hungry. It is important to eat three balanced meals a day. Strategize
ideas to help you remember to pack your breakfast the night before and take it to class in the
morning.
Personal body image or how we perceive our own body can be different than how other people
see our body. Being underweight can have some health consequences. Talk to a nutritionist or
your doctor about how to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

What makes something seem risky to one person, but not another. What kinds of risks did you
take today? Did you think of them as risks? Why/why not?

hungry the rest of the day and not eat anything until after school.

Explain the 2 possible outcomes of making decision that goes against your values?

Prevention: the action of stopping something from happening or arising.

Childhood Obesity
In America 18% of children are obese. Obese is a disease a child can receive by the
way they live their life or genetics. This is a problem because this is the number one way most
people die in America. Obesity is a problem today in the U.S.A and the problem must be
resolved.

Everyday children all over America are getting obese for various reasons. One of the
ways of getting obese is through genetics. This is because parents most of the time have eating
habits and sometimes cant stop eating. Eventually their children starts picking up those habits
leading them to start gaining weight. Also because it can be in their genes which increases the
risk of the child to be obese. Another way of getting obese is for not being active enough. Today
kids are more interested staying in playing video games and not going outside to do something
active. Parents have to limit the time their children can stay inside and make them participate in
a sports team or at least go outside an hour a day. Last cause of obesity is theyre eating habits.
Sometimes the child doesnt pick up their eating habits instead they pick up their own eating
habits and start over eating.
This disease carries many health effects and is not good for someones health.
One health effect is high cholesterol that can lead to cardiovascular disease. In the article it
says, 70 percent of obese children had at least one CVD risk factor, while 39 percent had two
or more. Another health effect is type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is when your body

doesnt process a persons blood sugar. Eventually the children are going to get older and
will still have the disease with them. When someone is an adult and obese they will have
more severe diseases and have a great possibility of dying at an early age.
Besides all the ways of getting obese and the health effects there is a way of treating
it so it wont stick with a child to adulthood. For instance parents can start to teach their
children healthy eating habits. To help a child make better eating choices is by buying more
healthy things to eat and not buy so much junk food or no junk food. Another way is by
helping kids exercise and be active more. So parents can motivate their child by telling them
the benefits that they could get by being active such as they will lose weight and get more
bone strength. These are ways that a child could prevent from being obese.
In conclusion, obese is something that no one would want their child to have.

There are many ways of getting this disease; however, it could be treated and children wont
die at such an early age. Today parents must prevent their children from getting it so their
child wont suffer from the many diseases that come with obesity.

Explain how an imbalance in one part of the health triangle affects of other 2 parts?
If someone is depressed it could affect their physical because they wont want to eat and their
social. Another example is not socializing. This can affect physical because no one will motivate
to you to exercise or do anything active and it will affect mental because there wont be anyone
you can talk to about your feelings to or your dreams.
Habit: a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.
