Health education should be a must in life. What is the point of living if you cannot keep yourself healthy? In my life I have been over weight suffering from a bad back. I was like that for years until I started to research the causes. It was only once I had learnt things about the human body I began to realise what my problems were and set about fixing them.
My health education began with learning why my back was always being pulled. I found out that the body has several different physical levels. The bones give structure while the muscles and ligaments create the strength and movement. I had a problem with the virtebre in my back which had then tightened the muscles up around them causing them to pull as they were always under extra pressure.
With my weight I found that because of a nutrient deficiency it was causing me to have cravings between meals. By increasing my vitamin c intake, adding the good fats from nuts and taking a multi vitamin I stopped these cravings and the weight fell off me. I did all of this because of my very own health education experience.
So whatever else you study in life and whatever career you go into remember you need to study health education. By doing that and by becoming more in touch with your own body you can know when things are not right and more importantly enjoy things when they are living a happy healthy and active life.
