Influences of Health by Dona Q Nguyen https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5 Factors that contribute to one's health en-us 2018-02-01 22:32:14 UTC 2018-02-15 04:29:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Culture 18dnguyen23 https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227310700 One's culture affects his/her health because of the traditional diet and expectations of one's emotions. Diets may be healthy such as how Vietnamese food contains (ex: pho) healthy amounts of fiber and is full of nutrients. However, some ideologies are unhealthy such as the apparent homophobia and sexism in many countries. This leads to depression and anxiety due to one's insecurities and feeling of worthlessness.  ]]> 2018-02-01 22:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227310700 Physical Environment 18dnguyen23 https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227311391 It is one's surrounding both indoors and outdoors. Examples can be the cleanliness of the air one breathes and the water one drinks along with the dangerous exposure to UV lights and even radiation from microwaves. 
If one is cautious about his/her physical environment, he/she can prevent certain health risks by applying sunscreen or go to smoke free areas. ]]> 2018-02-01 22:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227311391 Heredity 19gserrano https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227311466 Positive: Some genes inherited can prevent certain illnesses due to adaptation.

The community one is in shapes him/her starting with the parents who teach mannerisms from a young age. Family members are the foundation of one's opinions whether it be social or political and children often reflect how family members react emotionally. (ex: a child raised in an abusive household tends to be a more violent person in comparison to one who grew up in a stable household) Not only do family members influence one's emotional health, but friends do the same in positive and negative ways. Some friends are negative influences that drag others into the wrong crowd whereas other friends are supportive and promote healthy lifestyles. ]]> 2018-02-01 22:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227311557 Healthcare 18dnguyen23 https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227362460 Medical services provided by doctors, therapists, and the government influence health. Clinics are set up in areas easily accessible for people and healthcare exists to improve/maintain one's well-being no matter how rich or poor one is. Places such as planned parenthood promote sexuality whilst educating their audience about the risks of sex. A downside would be that though healthcare is out there-- it is not available for everyone. Those unable to receive health care get sick easily and have poor hygiene which leads to infections. ]]> 2018-02-02 04:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227362460 Behavior 18dnguyen23 https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227362496 Some behaviors are habits in which one becomes so accustomed to that behavior it becomes routine to him/her. Habits such as bathing regularly, sleeping moderately, and eating correctly are signs of good health. However, some habits are dangerous no matter how little it seems. Staying up to watch televisions series every night are hazardous to one's lifestyle and sleeping habits, and consistently drinking or smoking may lead to an addiction. ]]> 2018-02-02 04:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227362496 Media 19gserrano https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227569764 Positive: Social media allows people to connect with one another whilst staying updated in the latest news.
Negative: As social media becomes another outlet for people to express themselves, it allows for cyber bullying to occur. ]]> 2018-02-02 16:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227569764 Technology 19gserrano https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227571760 Positive: One positive thing about technology is that it is very advanced further allowing people to communicate across the globe.
Negative: One negative thing about technology is that now more kids are getting addicted to their phones, iPads, gaming consoles, etc. They spend more time inside rather than outside and studies prove that too much social media use can lead to anxiety and depression.]]> 2018-02-02 16:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/227571760 DONA NGUYEN AND GISSELLE SERRANO PERIOD 6 18dnguyen23 https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/231784697 2018-02-15 04:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/18dnguyen23/u5qu8n98fji5/wish/231784697
