Health/Wellness • Defining Health:• The combination of your physical,

mental/emotional, social and spiritual well-being.

• Your personal level of health/wellness effects everything about you. Your health/wellness effects how you look and function (physical), how you act, and how you feel (mental/emotional), also, your values effect your beliefs (spiritual). As a result, your personal level of health/wellness effects all people around you (social health).

• My Health Education Teaching Philosophy is…..

…ABSTINENCE HEALTH EDUCATION.--not only what you are thinking

ABSTINENCE HEALTH EDUCATION is making an informed decision not to participate in ANY ANY health/wellness risk behavior. As a result, you increase your chances of leading a life filled with added quality of life and quantity of life. Additionally, you have the opportunity to invest in and add value to others along your life journey.

Knowledge is EMPOWERING !

"To laugh often and much, to win respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have I been a success today in making a case for Abstinence Education?
