UNIT 9: HEALTHY
LIVING BF034943 – Specification – Edexcel BTEC Level 1/Level 2 First Certificate and Extended Certificate in Health and Social Care – Issue 2 – February 2013 © Pearson Education Limited 2013 119 Unit 9: Healthy Living Level: 1 and 2 Unit type: Mandatory Guided learning hours: 30 Assessment type: External Unit introduction This unit gives you the opportunity to explore how healthy and unhealthy lifestyle choices impact on health and wellbeing. Health and wellbeing are influenced by a range of biological and lifestyle factors. Some of the choices people make can have a positive effect on their lives, both in the short term and the long term Exercising, for example, may have a short-term effect for a person of creating a ‘feel good’ factor, but also contribute to long-term weight management and heart health. However, health and wellbeing are also influenced by the negative choices people make in their everyday lives. For example, if a person chooses to smoke heavily and drink more units of alcohol than the recommended daily and weekly limits, this will have both a short-term and long-term impact on their health and wellbeing. In this unit, you will explore how a range of factors contribute to good health and wellbeing, and other factors that can lead to poor health and wellbeing. Many health and social care professionals help people to review and analyse their current health and wellbeing. This type of analysis forms the basis from which health improvement plans can be designed. In this unit, you will develop your skills in analysing information and will explore personal strategies that can be implemented to improve health and wellbeing. You will also consider the barriers and limitations that may have an impact on the success of measures taken to improve health and wellbeing. Learning aims In this unit you will: A explore the factors that contribute to healthy and unhealthy lifestyles, and their effects on health and wellbeing B explore ways of improving health and wellbeing.
