physical, mental, and social
well-being, NOT merely the
absence of disease or infirmity”
Health

5. HEALTH is more than a state
or absence of disease; it
includes striving towards
optimal functioning.
Health

7. Wellness
A dynamic state of health in
which an individual progresses
toward a higher level of
functioning, achieving an
optimal balance between
internal and external
environments.

8. Components of Wellness
Physical. The ability to carry
out daily tasks, achieve fitness,
maintain adequate nutrition and
proper body fat, avoid abusive
products and generally to practice
positive lifestyle habits

9. Social. The ability to interact
successfully with people and within
the environment of which each
person is a part, to develop and
maintain intimacy with significant
others, and to develop respect and
tolerance for those with different
opinions and beliefs

10. Emotional. The ability to
manage stress and to express
emotions appropriately.
Emotional wellness involves the
ability to recognize, accept, and
express feelings and to accept
one’s limitations.

11. Intellectual. The ability to earn and
use information effectively for
personal, family, and career
development. Intellectual wellness
involves striving for continued growth
and learning to deal with new
challenges effectively.

12. Spiritual. The belief in some
force (nature, science, religion or
higher power) that serves to
unite human beings and provide
meaning and purpose to life. It
includes a person’s own morals,
values and ethics.

13. Occupational. The ability to
achieve a balance between work
and leisure time. A person’s beliefs
about education, employment, and
home influence personal
satisfaction and relationships with
others.

14. Environmental. The ability to
promote health measures that
improve the standard of living and
quality of life in the community.
This includes influences such as
food, water and air.

16. TOP 10 CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE
PHILIPPINES
1. Heart Disease
2. Stroke
3. Cancer
4. Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease
5. Road Accidents and
Injuries
6. Diabetes
7. Dengue Fever
8. Maternal Deaths
9. Kidney Failure
10.Perinatal Conditions

17. HEART DISEASE
most common cause of heart disease is
the narrowing or blockage of the heart’s
arteries which leads to a heart attack.

18. STROKE- (cerebrovascular Disease)
Cerebrovascular disease or stroke occurs
when blood is not supplied to some parts of
the brain due to blockage (ischemic stroke)
or bursting (hemorrhagic stroke) of a blood
vessel in the body.

19. CANCER
Fifty thousand cancer cases have been
recorded in the Philippines and the
number is estimated to increase by 5%
every year. Meanwhile, 16% of these
recorded deaths are due to breast
cancer.

20. CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE
PULMONARY DISEASE
include chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma, and
emphysema. These diseases prevent air to freely
flow to and from the lungs. It is estimated that 7%
of all deaths worldwide are caused by chronic
respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, 15% of cigarette
smokers develop COPD. Second-hand smoke and
pollution aggravates the problem.

21. ROAD ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES

22. DIABETES
An estimated four million Filipinos suffer
from diabetes . Experts predict the number to
increase to 380 million by 2025. With diabetes
comes a number of life-threatening health
complications such as heart disease, stroke, and
kidney failure

23. DENGUE FEVER
From January to August 2010, 62,503 dengue fever
cases have been recorded by the Department of
Health. The number is said to be the highest ever
recorded in the history of the country. Of this
number, 465 deaths have been identified. This is
almost as large as the number of dengue fever
deaths in 2009. By the end of 2010, the DOH
estimates the record to be as high as 800 deaths.

24. MATERNAL DEATHS
The Philippines, along with 55 other countries,
contributes to 94% of all maternal deaths recorded
worldwide, according to the World Health
Organization. An estimated 162 maternal deaths
per 100,000 live births have been identified.
Common causes of maternal deaths include
hemorrhage, hypertension, sepsis, labor and
delivery problems, and complications related to
abortion.

25. KIDNEY FAILURE
happens when the kidneys cannot function
properly. One of the major functions of the kidneys
is to clean waste material from the blood. Stage 5
kidney failure patients require renal replacement
therapy or dialysis. Of the patients who undergo
dialysis, only 50% may be healthy enough to
undergo kidney transplant and of this number, only
20% can afford the costly life-saving operation.

26. PERINATAL CONDITIONS
Together with 42 other countries, the Philippines
contribute to 90% of global under-five deaths at a
ratio of 34 per 1,000 live births. Of this number,
47% is identified as deaths of infants less than 28
days old. Leading causes of perinatal deaths
include diarrhea, pneumonia, sepsis, pneumonia,
and asphyxia.

27. 10 REASONS OF SICKNESS
Water pollution – Factories dumping
toxic chemicals in the sea would have a
domino effect. Fishes that we eat would
be poisoned and when consumed by
humans, it won’t be a good source of
nutrition.

28. Noise pollution – You think that
noise pollution don’t cause
sickness? Noise pollution can cause
hypertension, high stress levels,
annoyance and aggression

29. Soil pollution – Plants and
vegetables is a healthy food source.
Of course, when polluted with
chemicals, one would know the
many effects in can cause.

30. Population – The more the
merrier? No. The more people there
is in one country, the more sickness
it can spread and at a faster rate.

31. Lifestyle – Eating out? Fast
food is very bad. Very unhealthy.
It will make you sick!

32. Limited resources – In the Philippines,
where we were recently hit by the rice
shortage crisis, people resort to eating
alternatives or not eating at all. Also,
resources of organic food is limited that only
those people who are willing to pay a
premium price can avail of the fresh organic
food from selected places.

33. Evolving sickness – Bird Flu
transmitted to humans? Well, this is
one effect of pollution but we can
blame this on us, human beings,
because we are the ones destroying
the environment.

34. Attitude – having a bad attitude would not
only make seem your life longer but, it
would actually make it shorter. Suicide rate
in Japan and Hong Kong are among the
highest when stock market crashes. In
the Philippines, it’s not yet as high as those
countries but, with this economic turmoil
and instabilities, it would surely grow.

35. Crime – sad but true. The crime
rate here in the Philippines is high
that I do not hear in the news a day
passing without someone being
killed.

36. Global warming – and this, my dear friend is not
a made up story. All the things we do contribute
to this ticking time bomb. Smoke belching
factories and cars, non-biodegradable materials,
non-recyclable things and other things we do,
unknowingly contribute to global warming which
would soon be the number one source of disaster
not only in the Philippines but to the world from
sickness, to drought, earthquakes and high floods.
