The unit focuses on modifiable risk factors for lifestyle diseases.
The unit also covers fuel (energy) for performance.

Learning Objectives

Students will recall modifiable lifestyle disease risks.
Students will understand the effect of unhealthy practices on their lives.
Students will relate health behaviors to health risks and physical activity.
Students will share insights and personal experiences on healthy lifestyles.

One-third of Filipinos report binge alcohol use in the last month, consuming six or more alcoholic beverages in a single sitting.
Four in ten Filipino adults reported alcohol use in the past 30 days.
Men report higher alcohol use than women.
Binge alcohol consumption is higher in men than women.

Describe Your Healthy Lifestyle

A visual representation of a traffic light system helps gauge one's current healthy lifestyle.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)

The World Health Organization's Pacific Region labels NCDs the leading cause of death in the Philippines.
NCDs are non-infectious illnesses, influenced by lifestyle and possibly inherited.

Top 50 Causes of Death

Coronary heart disease is ranked as the first in the top 50 death causes in the Philippines.
Various lifestyle factors contribute, including smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excess weight/obesity, inactivity, diabetes, insulin resistance, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle.

What is Healthy Lifestyle?

A healthy lifestyle promotes total physical, mental, and spiritual wellness and reduces the risk of major illnesses.
Key components include regular exercise, a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, relaxation, avoiding non-essential drugs, and alcohol moderation.

Modifiable Risk Factors

Key modifiable risk factors include smoking, alcohol consumption, poor dietary habits, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Why is Smoking Harmful?

Smoking damages nearly all body organs, weakening the body and leading to various diseases.
A single cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals.
Tobacco smoke includes harmful substances like hydrogen cyanide, insecticides, methanol, butane fuels, benzene, cadmium, and formaldehyde.

Harmful Substance of Tobacco (Tar)

Tar, a harmful byproduct of smoking, damages the respiratory system.
It obstructs lung function and damages air sacs.

Harmful Substance of Tobacco (Nicotine)

Nicotine is an addictive substance.
It affects the heart rate and causes light-headedness in some individuals.

Harmful Substance of Tobacco (Carbon Monoxide)

Carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke compromises the body's oxygen supply.
Smokers are at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.

3 Kinds of Smoke

Mainstream smoke is inhaled directly by the smoker.
Sidestream smoke is exhaled by the smoker.
Third-hand smoke is found on surfaces that smokers touch or have had contact with.

Alcohol Consumption

Excessive alcohol use can lead to chronic diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive problems.
Alcohol negatively impacts brain function and communication pathways.
Alcohol use also affects mood, behaviour, and coordination.

Dietary Habits

Poor dietary habits occur when individuals don't practice proper nutrition principles (adequacy, balance, and variety).
Inadequate amounts of necessary nutrients negatively impact body functions.
Poor dietary habits include inadequate amounts of healthy foods, and overconsumption of high-sugar, high-fat, and high-sodium foods.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Sedentary lifestyle implies a lack of regular physical activity.
Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for global mortality.

Fuel for Performance

Proper nutrition offers fuel for performance.

Why We Eat and Drink

The fundamental reason for eating and drinking is to gain energy.

Why Do We Use Energy?

Energy is used for development, growth, body function, nutrient provision (e.g., oxygen), and physical activity/exercise.

Energy Needs

The daily recommended energy intake varies based on gender and activity level as recommended by the WHO.
Men require approximately 2,900 kcal/day, and women about 2,200 kcal/day.

What Do We Need to Eat? (Eatwell Plate)

A healthy diet is essential for energy function.
Required nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals are essential, according to the eatwell plate.

How Do You Maximize Your Performance?

Diet plays a key role.
Athletes and people who are physically active should consider incorporating high-carbohydrate diets, pre, during and post-exercise/training routines adapted to meet time of activity and event, as well as personal preferences.

Activity Time

Participation in activities that promote understanding and healthy practices.

Unit 2 Task 1

Task Instruction: Design a poster to promote awareness about the harmful impacts of alcohol and cigarette use.
Creative and impactful slogan, engaging visuals that address health, social, and environmental consequences are required.
The team's names must be on the poster itself, submitted in a common format (JPEG, PNG, PDF) by 4:20 PM.
