A bit about me...

Hello. I am a Health Education student at University of South Alabama. My goal is to make health more interesting and relatble to the student. To know the lessons and techniques I discuss in class can actually be performed in their everyday routine. Preparing the students through knowing and understanding how healthy living is essential to their well being.

In my estimation, Health trumps all other subjects school board's set when outlining the curriculum. If you are not eating well, exercising, and using proper hygiene techniques, then how are you supposed to think-like critical thinkers, to perform intergration math in calculus or even operate a bunsen burner begining a science experiment.

Most students need the feeling of knowing, "hey this is information I can use today or tomorrow", that will be benefical to my overall well-being no matter my age or stage-professionally I may currently be in.

Let's Find Out !!

I would like to use this section to utilize informative, yet also interesting tips or notes about Health Education. I would like for my future students to be able to gain all the knowledge they possibly can, especially information that they will always be able to use and relate too.

Health Education
is a very broad and well rounded subject area that involves:
* Drug Prevention
* Weight Management
* Safety Education
* Disease Prevention
* Hygiene Management

For example...

Vitamin A
* is an essential human nutrient

Vitamin K
* helps in the forming of blood clots
* also helps in bone health

Hunger
is
* a physiological feeling(the body actually needs food, can fell pain)

Appetite is
* is psychological feeling ( a desire you have)

Weekly or twice a week, I think will be beneficial to the students for me to post interesting tips to know for long term knowledge.
