Lesson
1-2 DIMENSION of HEALTH
When you were younger, your parents, teachers and other caring adults
always looked out for your health, you did not have to think much about it. They
are responsible for your food, health check-up and immunization, education and
other health practices.
Now as an adolescent this responsibility done by the adults now becomes
yours. It is now your responsibility to ensure that you live healthy and happy life.
Your health habits and practices may greatly affect the status of your future
health.
Correct health information, a positive attitude, healthy practices, and
desirable coping skill will help you attain and maintain holistic health. You need to
develop and balance all dimensions of your health to attain holistic health. Being
healthy requires not only just caring of the physical body but it must be
incorporated with the following aspects, mental, emotional, social, spiritual-moral,
and environmental well-being. The goal is a wellness that encompasses the entire
person, rather than just the lack of physical pain or disease.

What is It

Nowadays, health focuses on wellness. It is a positive approach that includes

all the dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social and moral-
spiritual. Health is the well-being of your body, mind, and your relationship with
others. On the other hand, wellness means striving to live your life to achieve your
fullest potential, making decisions, and acting in healthy ways. It is practicing
positive health behaviors based on sound knowledge and healthy attitudes. You are
likely to have a high degree of wellness if you have a balanced life. Being healthy
means having a balance of the dimensions of health. This results in attaining
holistic health.
Physical Health means how well your body functions.
It means you can carry out everyday tasks without
becoming too tired. It also means you have enough
energy to enjoy activities and to meet emergencies. It
means developing healthful habits and avoiding
destructive habits, such as smoking, drinking
alcoholic beverages and taking dangerous drugs and
harmful substances. You can attain this by giving
your body total care, which includes the following:
- keeping your body fit by exercising and
participating in active games
- eating a well-balanced diet \
- getting adequate sleep and rest
- drinking enough water
- practicing cleanliness and good grooming
habits
- getting regular medical and dental checkup
and treatment
- avoiding harmful substances, such as
tobacco, alcohol and drugs of abuse
8
 Mental or Intellectual health means being a lifelong
learner by continuously wanting to learn new things and
improve one’s kills. A mentally healthy person is open to
new ideas and experiences that can improve personal,
family, and community life. He or she is aware of his or her
abilities, can cope normal stresses in life, able to work
regularly and productively, and is also able to contribute for
Teenager learning new skills to improve personal and
family life
the improvement of community.

Emotional Health involves understanding and

liking yourself as well as accepting and learning
from your mistakes. It refers to how well you
meet the demands of daily life and how you
adjust to new situations. It also means
expressing your happiness, love, joy and hope as
well as your sadness, anger, stress and fear in
healthful productive ways. You can best practice
these when you:

· face life’s problems squarely

· handle stress and seek help, if needed
Parents giving advice to their child
· express your emotions in positive ways
· deal with life’s pressures and stresses in
positive ways
· build strong communication network
among family, friends and peers
Social Health refers to how well you get along
with other people. This can be observed when
you--
· make and keep friends
· play/work well with a group
· give and get help from others when
needed
· communicate well and show respect and
care for yourself and others
It is also relating to your ability to adapt
comfortably to different social situations and act
appropriately in a variety of situation.

9
 Spiritual—Moral Health means being at
peace and in harmony with yourself, others
and a higher power or bigger reality. What
you feel, think and say what you believe in,
or value are shown in how you act. It refers
to your personal beliefs, values, and faith. It
involves the quality of personal relationship
or love of nature. It involves a sense that life
has meaning and purpose and that you are
in harmony with your purpose in life.

Environmental Health means the understanding

of the effect to us of the air, the water and the land
that surrounds us. To recognize the impact of
environmental and human-made hazards and the
ability to find ways on how to protect ourselves and
the ecological system against these hazards is
important.

Overall good health and wellness are interdependent on six dimensions. Health
dimensions are like separate pieces that need to be fitted together to make meaning.

A healthy child is active at home and school. He/she is active to the household routine
like cleaning the house and the backyard. He/she has time to join with his/her parents in
prayers, attending masses and worship activities. He/she is alert and participative in
classroom activities. He/she enjoys being with his/her friends, classmates, and other
children in the school. He/ she is also practicing and active attending the environmental
activities in their places like tree planting and waste segregation.

Being healthy is much more than not being sick. Your health is made up of physical,
mental, social, spiritual-moral, and environmental resources that allow you to live a satisfying
and productive life. Optimal health indicates a high level of functioning and is often
characterized by vitality, a zest for life and a sense of harmony with nature and humanity.

Interrelatedness of Health Dimensions

The five dimensions of holistic health are interrelated. An individual is

affected physically if food and shelter are not fully satisfied. This person will also be
affected emotionally as she/he may feel inadequate, insecure, and unsafe. And how
will this affect the mental health of the person? Anxiety may develop when a person
is worrying about his/her condition. Relationship with family, friends, and with
others may suffer also when a person is not contented and his/her longing for love
and affection is not met. When the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs
are not satisfied, a person may resort to unethical behaviour to satisfy his/her
basic needs. It is very clear that each dimension affects the other. The dimensions
are equally important to attain wellness or good health. These are like puzzle pieces
that need to be fitted together for meaningful health dimensions interrelationship.

Lesson
Health Practices to Improve
3 Holistic Health

When you were younger, you did not think much about your health.
Everything is made readily available for you by your family such as foods, regular
check-ups, immunizations, and other health concerns.

As young adults, your personal health now becomes your responsibility.

Especially now that we are amidst trying times due to the corona virus pandemic
which is fast spreading in the different communities all over the world. You need to
be mindful of how to maintain your health and wellness through establishing new
routines and practices to support healthy living. It is a positive approach that
includes all dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social, and moral-
spiritual. Nowadays, the way you learn, work, and socialize in now changed by
social distancing. There are shifts and changes in your daily life. Alongside are the
looming uncertainties of the future. It is therefore important for you to become
aware of the different healthy habits and practices that will ultimately guide you on
how you are going to take care of yourself. Health is the well-being of your body,
mind, and interrelationship. Put in mind that wellness means striving to live your
life to achieve your fullest potential, making decisions and acting in healthy ways.
A new normal requires new habits and some creative thinking about your wellness.
When one wants to have a high degree of holistic health, one must practice positive
behavior. Now that adolescents like you are studying remotely at home, you must
think differently and creatively about ways to keep healthy in mind and body. For
after all, living a happy and balanced life is everybody’s dream.
