Health

HealthAs a student, there are certain aspects of health that I find most important. Physical health is key to ensure a healthy life that guarantees me to go about my everyday school activities without unduly getting fatigued. I support my physical health through a combination of good dieting and exercise habits and having enough sleep. Good physical health helps to psychologically improve my self-esteem, determination, and self-control. Intellectual health is another very important health aspect. It allows my mind to be receptive of new concepts and ideas. I support my intellectual health by engaging in reading activities of relevant materials like journals, novels, and even newspapers. Social wellness is another aspect of health that I consider important. It allows me to create and maintain relationships with those in my community or society. As a student relating to individuals in my society is very important as it is from them that I learn or get help in my learning process. I support it by avoiding conflict with other members of the community and by contributing to the common welfare of the society.
