2. Healthy Lifestyle
• A healthy lifestyle is one which helps to keep and improve people's health and well-
being.
• A healthy lifestyle is a way of living that lowers the risk of being seriously ill or
dying early.
• Many governments and non-governmental organizations have made big efforts in
healthy lifestyle and health promotion. It helps to benefit your critical health
numbers, including weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol.
Healthy living is a lifelong effect. The ways to being healthy include healthy eating,
physical activities, weight management, and stress management.

3. Components of a healthy lifestyle
 Healthy lifestyle is, mostly, associated with:
– Family traditions
– Health education
– Likable occupation
– Safe environment
– Adequate nutrition
– Physical fitness
– Absence of bad habits or addiction
– Personal hygiene
– Love and tenderness
– Positive social communication
– Proper sleeping pattern

4. PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

5. We need to have policy changes and a supportive environment to
encourage people to live healthier lives
THE ANSWER: HEALTH PROMOTION
 Health Promotion (HP) goes to the core of lifestyle by
addressing culture and environment.
 HP entails a paradigm in how we view health. It is about
empowering individuals and communities to make informed,
positive health decisions.

6. • The Philippines is lagging behind its Asian neighbors in enabling its citizens
to increase control over their health, global health expert Dr Prakit
Vathesatogkit said. – "In ASEAN,” he said, “5 countries already have a law
on health promotion. The good time for the Philippines to set up a mechanism
is now. The money is there. It just needs to be tapped. Otherwise, all these
budget (sic) will go to the profit of the [tobacco and alcohol] industry.”

7. -Irene Reyes, managing director of Health Justice Philippines, said that HP is
a worthy investment as the Philippine healthcare system in its current form is
“favorably biased to managing illness rather than encouraging wellness.”
– In 2001, Thailand passed the BE 2544 otherwise known as the Health
Promotion Foundation Act. It allocated a sizeable budget for mass media
campaigns on tobacco and alcohol control, physical activity and healthy diet,
road safety, and the mitigation of other risk factors that lead to health-related
problems

8. – The government agency responsible for health promotion in the Philippines is
the National Center for Health Promotion (NCHP) under the Department of
Health (DOH).
General Functions and Structure
– Develop directions, policies, standards, and guidelines pertaining to health
promotion
– Provide policy advice to partner agencies related to the health determinants
– Provide technical assistance to Central Office cluster/bureau, CHDs and
retained hospitals on health promotion
NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH
PROMOTION

9. – Take the leadership in the implementation of national campaigns as
determined by DOH management
– Provide health promotion data to CO, CHDs, retained hospitals and other
partners
– Develop, produce and provide IEC materials to CO, CHDs, retained hospitals
and other partners
– Establish networks with partners especially those involved in peace, shelter,
livelihood, education, food, income, eco-system, social relations, equity, poverty,
social justice, empowerment of women and human rights.

10. – Promoting healthy lifestyles is a challenge for many primary care practices.
Although most patients/people understand the importance of physical activity
and healthy eating, many seem unable to change their unhealthy behaviors to
reduce weight and improve chronic conditions.
– Medications often take a predominant role in the treatment of these patients,
even though medications alone are rarely completely effective for chronic
conditions, and lifestyle changes have been shown to significantly reduce
morbidity and mortality rates for most chronic diseases.

11. Healthy Lifestyle Program to Address
Noncommunicable Diseases in the Philippines.
• The Department of Health (DOH) launched its nationwide healthy lifestyle movement Pilipinas Go4Health which
encourages Filipinos to commit to a healthy lifestyle through physical activity, proper nutrition, and the prevention or
cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption.
• The health lifestyle program was launched to help prevent and control noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the
country.
• A significant proportion of Filipino adults are exposed to NCD risks which include tobacco and alcohol use, unhealthy
diets, and physical inactivity. In 2008, 57% of the total mortality rate in the Philippines is due to NCDs such as
cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease.
• The increase in NCDs are affecting populations of low and middle income countries like the Philippines, at a young
age, reducing the productivity of the working age population and stifling economic growth. Hence, the Pilipinas
Go4Health aspires to provide options for healthy living and making these options accessible to every Filipinos.
• Filipinos are encouraged to register in the program online through their website (www.go4health.ph) to get news and
updates on activities for healthier lifestyle. Through the movement, DOH and its partners work together to promote and
establish a sustainable environment for healthy living.
• Meanwhile, in South East Asia (SEA) a series of roundtables held in seven countries across the ASEAN region during
the ASEAN Healthcare Consultation in 2012 prompted the establishment ASEAN Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD)
Network. The network gathers health experts across SEA to work together and address the issue of NCDs in Indonesia,
Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.

12. Tips for healthy living
To help Pinoys get started, the DOH gave the following advice:
1. Go Smoke-Free Ten Filipinos die every hour because of illnesses related to cigarette
smoking, according to Ona. He said 17.3 million Filipinos aged 15 years and older are
tobacco smokers, based on data from the 2009 Global Audit Tobacco Survey. "GATS
data show that a number of smokers accessed tobacco when they were too young to
make informed choices. By the time they are old enough, they may find it very hard to
quit and some may already suffer its consequences," he said. Smoking is directed linked
to lung cancer, emphysema, and bronchial disorders, according to DOH.

13. 2. Go Sustanya Consumption of salt, sugar, fats, and high-calorie food has
to be reduced to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, as well
as obesity. A DOH statement on proper nutrition added that increased
intake of fiber, such as fruits and whole grains, is needed to lower
cholesterol and blood sugar levels. In an interview with GMA News Online,
Ona said the DOH is planning to propose a bill that would regulate food
labeling. "If you buy food ngayon, 'yung contents nasa likod, so who reads
it?" he said. "If you want to give that information, ilagay natin sa harap."

14. 3. Go Sigla Only 7 out of 100 Filipino
adults exercise at least three to four
times a week, the DOH said, based on
findings from the Food and Nutrition
Institute (FNRI). "The human body is
designed for motion," Ona said.

15. Go Slow sa Tagay
– According to DOH, the effect of alcohol varies in every person, and while it
may offer health benefits to some, it may actually impose a major health risk to
others. Excessive alchohol consumption can lead to drunk-driving accidents,
which is one of the reasons cited by President Benigno Aquino III when he
signed into law last May a bill penalizing drivers who are under the influence
of alcohol and dangerous drugs. Republic Act (R.A.) 10586, signed by the
president on May 27, gives law enforcement officials the authority to conduct
sobriety and breath alcohol tests on drivers found to have "indications" of
drunk driving, such as overspeeding, weaving, swerving and lane straddling.

16. Lifestyle champions
To help promote the campaign, the DOH has asked
the help of some personalities and athletes to serve as
"champions" for healthy lifestyles

17. Some Laws Pertaining in
Promotion of Healthy Lifestyle

laws addressing crucial health-related issues towards a healthier Filipino

Reproductive Health, National Health Insurance, and Graphic Health
Warnings Acts or Laws.

• The entire population as much as possible especially the “poorest of the poor”
• Should be covered by health insurance.
• When asked if this has been achieved already, Sec. Ona confidently replied, “We’re
there, almost there. Maybe we’re already there.” Data as of June 2014 show that 82
percent of Filipinos are already covered with premium subsidy. Sec. Ona explained
that the global standard for UHC is that about 85 percent of the population must be
covered.

19. National Health Insurance Act of 2013
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10606
• RA 10606 (An Act Amending Republic Act No. 7875, Otherwise Known as the
National Health Insurance Act of 1995”, As Amended, and for Other
Purposes) is a law amending the PhilHealth Law to provide wider coverage
to indigents.

Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will be completed at the latter part
of this year.

TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
• Its full implementation started last stated that the passage of the Sin Tax Law
is very important to the country’s healthcare pursuits. “Because of the income
or budget increase that was made possible through sin taxes, we were able to
enroll a total of 14.7 million families this year, from 5.2 million poorest
Filipino families from 2011 to 2013,” he said.
