was selling “health rings” that can detect the mood of a person and help lower body temperature
and blood pressure. The teenager was easily attracted, which made him buy two health rings for
himself and his sister. He spent Php 600 for the items.

Consumer health has three components: health information, health products, and
health services. What you have gathered from your classmates is health information.
Health information plays a big role in the life of individuals. “It is information that
people require to make wise choices and decisions about their health or the health of
[other people]”
Health information is any concept, step, or advice that various sources give to aid the
health status of an individual. The type of information varies depending on “diseases,
sexual health, weight loss/gain, drugs and alcohol, depression/mental illness, violence,
smoking, eating disorders, acne/skin care, local clinics, and sexual assault” (Payne, et
al., 2005). The information is critical as it may alter the health conditions of a person.
Another important characteristic of health information is that it is continuously and
rapidly changing. Thus, it “should be timely, relevant, culturally appropriate,
accessible, and delivered in a relevant format” (Galvez Tan, et al., 2009). There is a
great need to update oneself regarding current research and evidence available in the
field.
