II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Self-monitoring skills are competencies that will help us assess when we are
healthy or sick. It is important that we are familiar with the normal condition
of our bodies so that we can have information, such as our vaccination record,
to ensure the health, safety, and well-being to provide preventive measures.
Changing and adapting a healthful lifestyle considerably enhances peoples’
health. Aside from avoiding bad vices. Filipinos’ should adopt and practice the
following self-monitoring skills that will help prevent and control
communicable diseases.
1. Engage regularly in physical activities or exercise. This will
help a person attain an overall good health condition.
2. Practice healthful eating. Choose healthy food options. Avoid
foods that may increase risks of developing a disease.
3. Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke. Cigarettes contain
toxic substances that damage cells in the body and cause
different kinds of diseases.
4. Manage and maintain a normal weight. Obesity is ne of the
factors that increase risk of developing lifestyle disease. Do
regular exercises and follow a healthful diet.
5. Have a routine medical checkup. This will detect diseases
during the early stages. Early detection will help control and treat
diseases.
What is a healthful lifestyle?
As they say, “Health is wealth”. Healthful lifestyle is all about making one’s
health and well-being a priority. It is a choice made by an individual, a
commitment made for his own good and that of his loved ones (Pilipinas
Go4Health 2013).
