Such thing can lead to more unhealthy behaviors. The book mentions a few, "obesity or eating disorders, substance use, unsafe sexual activity, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, sleep deprivation, school problems and low mood," (2). The increase in all this stress also increases the risk for unhealthy behaviors. ]]> 2016-11-01 19:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/75lq1e6z1pd9/wish/134612349 megan_roosa https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/75lq1e6z1pd9/wish/134612429 The textbook stated, "Communication is key, " (3). Effective communication is essential to good health, otherwise you'll just be bottling up all your emotions.
I had a close friend who held in all of her emotions and I knew that if she kept doing this then something bad was going to happen and/or she would continue being unhappy. Just telling her that she needed to express her emotions more often wasn't going to work, so I started subtly mentioning things about how good communicating was and I likes sharing my emotions. Eventually she got the hint slowly started to share more things. I definitely saw a mood improvement in her.  ]]> 2016-11-01 19:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/75lq1e6z1pd9/wish/134612429 megan_roosa https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/75lq1e6z1pd9/wish/134613658 Public health policies and government regulations help prevent diseases and promote healthy behaviors.
