Physical activity and health are important for children's growth and development. Obesity rates are influenced by family and can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. While asthma commonly affects children, especially boys under 15, most cases are not persistent and there were 449 asthma-related deaths in Australia in 2008. Engaging in sports and physical activity provides benefits, and schools can help improve students' fitness levels through programs and opportunities for exercise.
Cardiovascular disease affects the heart and blood vessels and can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, physical inactivity, and age. To prevent cardiovascular disease, one should exercise daily, eat a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive stress, and maintain a healthy weight.

Negligence of health needs and lack of priority given to women's health also contribute to these problems.
This document discusses how traditional medicine often fails to treat individuals based on their unique biochemical needs, and outlines an alternative approach called the E-juven8 program. The program aims to detect nutritional imbalances and hormonal deficiencies in each individual in order to create customized treatment plans. It is presented as a way to prevent illnesses like heart disease, diabetes and cancer by addressing the underlying causes of metabolic dysfunction and toxicity at the biochemical level for each person. Contact information is provided to learn more about the program, which includes advanced testing, personalized supplements and medications, and ongoing consultations.
The document discusses men's health issues and concerns. The three biggest health concerns mentioned are heart disease, which is the leading cause of death, behaviors causing health issues other than cardiovascular factors, and rates of depression in men versus women. The document provides recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, including exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol intake, not smoking, and maintaining social relationships. Risky behaviors like smoking, excessive drinking, and lack of relationships are identified as shortening longevity and increasing health problems for men.
The most common sexual problem associated with diabetes is erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by reduced blood flow and nerve damage to the penis from diabetes. It can be treated with medications, devices, or surgery. For women with diabetes, sexual problems may include vaginal dryness, decreased desire, pain during sex, and difficulty orgasming, but more research is needed. Keeping blood glucose levels controlled can help address these issues.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common health problem among women that can cause irregular periods, excess hair growth, weight gain and fertility issues. PCOS occurs when a woman's hormones are out of balance, preventing the ovaries from regularly releasing eggs. It affects around 5% of women in India and can be managed but not cured. Lifestyle changes like exercise, diet and stress management are important to control symptoms and prevent further health complications like diabetes and heart disease that may develop from PCOS if left untreated. Proper diagnosis and treatment under a doctor's guidance including hormonal therapy and lifestyle management can help women with PCOS live near-normal lives.

Prostatitis is the first to bear the brunt in 3 health curseAmandaChou9
This document discusses three major health issues that men face as they age:
1. Prostate diseases like prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy, and prostate cancer, which become more prevalent with age due to factors like diet, lifestyle, and physical changes. Symptoms include urinary and pelvic issues. Treatment includes medications, physical therapy, and Chinese herbal remedies.
2. Obesity after age 50, which can lead to health issues like fatty liver and joint problems. Controlling weight becomes important for health.
3. Chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, which are more likely to develop with age and can damage vital organs if not managed through preventative measures and healthy habits
1) Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, killing more women each year than all forms of cancer combined.
2) While many women still believe heart disease is a man's disease, the facts show it poses a serious threat and over 1 in 4 women die from heart disease each year.
3) There are simple steps one can take to prevent heart disease such as being physically active, eating a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fat, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, and knowing your family health history and risk factors.

Mohammed hilal alismaily 12s10125 - is obesity a disease ?MOHAD92
Obesity is defined as having a high amount of body fat. While some organizations have declared obesity a disease, the document argues that obesity is not truly a disease for several reasons. Obesity is a symptom that something else needs to be addressed, as it indicates that one's lifestyle is out of balance and their body is carrying more weight than necessary. Rather than a disease, obesity should be viewed as the body signaling that lifestyle changes are needed to better balance life and address the underlying issues that are leading to excess weight gain.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

7. Asthma:
- 1 in 10 people suffer asthma
- Between the ages of 0-15 more
males have asthma than girls
- Less than 5% is persistent
- 2008, 449 deaths
- Aboriginal high rates of
asthma.
Health can be broken up in to two parts; Physical and Mental. Physical Health is the overall wellbeing and functioning on the individual’s body. Mental Health is one’s ability state of mind and ability to cope with the everyday things going on around us (Reach Out, 2015).
11% of Australian children do not meet Australia’s national guidelines for Physical Activity. Statistics also showed that for many of these children obesity follows them into adulthood.
Todays it is said that approximately 1 in 5 Australian children are overweight or obese.
Health issues can develop from genetics, unhealthy eating patterns and lack of physical activity.
A child’s family can play a vital role in whether or not they are healthy or unhealthy. If parents are overweight it can mean that the child will also be too. This can result from genetics or family eating and exercise patterns.
Children look up to their parents as role models. If the child sees that their parents aren’t participating in physical activity they can begin to think that it is okay to not part take in physical activity. Parents control what their children eat meaning that it is up to them to ensure the child is eating healthily.
If obesity is not targeted and managed during childhood it can lead to a series of physical health issues during adulthood. These health issues can include; stroke or heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers.
The effects of obesity on a child can be the development of long term physical problems such as; heart, bones, hormones and reproductive organs. Along with the physical is the psychological issues. These include isolation, bullying and poor self-esteem.
Obesity can cause not only physical health issues but mental health issues such as depression. Depression can be associated with obesity. The relationship between depression and obesity can be dangerous. For some depression causes the obesity whereas for others the depression is brought on because of obesity.
Just because they are a child does not mean they aren’t at risk of developing depression. Although it may not happen not happen then it can quite possibly develop later in life as a result of their childhood.
The National Survey for Mental Health and Wellbeing recorded that 14% of adolescents aged 4-17 experience mental health problems (Rivers, 2009).
Obesity can lead to bullying. The bullying can take the form of verbal (name calling), physical and being isolated because children no longer want to be friends with them as they may think that they are lazy or mean because of their appearance.
Asthma is a long term condition that affects a persons breathing. It can significantly lead to ill health and poor quality of life as it is obstructs the airways making it harder for the individual to breath.
1 in 10 Australian people suffer from asthma whether it be severe or not.
Less than 5% of children with asthma experience asthma and less than half of these children have asthma action plans in place.
More boys between 0-15 have more asthma than girls although as they get older the statistics change as for 15 years and over more girls experience asthma than boys.
In 2008 449 people died from asthma this was an increase from 2007.
The Aboriginal population are more at risk of developing asthma. This can be due to living in remote areas, doubled rate of smoking and infants being exposed to smoking before and after their birth.
Children aged 0-14 are more likely to attend the emergency room for asthma than adults with 0-4 year old boys being the main group.
Between 2012-2013 37,500 people were admitted to hospital because of asthma. This correlates to 168 people per 100,000 being sent to hospital.
It is critical that people regularly participate in sport and physical activity despite age, ability, gender and back ground.
Playing sport or participating in physical activity can help improve both mental and physical health.
Mental health is improved through building friendships in sport. Many sport activities involve teams and therefore give the child the opportunity to develop friendships with the other children. This can help lift their self-esteem especially if the child has been excluded by others based on their health status.
It can also promote self-esteem through positive body imaging and being in a positive social environment. It is also suggested that it can release anxiety in many adolescents.
Sport and/or physical activity has long been used as a treatment and form of rehabilitation for diseases e.g. obesity and other health issues.
Sport can help you lose and or avoid putting excess on. This is because sport helps burn calories and build lean muscle. It is suggested that this can be achieved through two and a half hours of high intensity physical activity.
Physical activity can help avoid serious medical issues later on in life as it improves the health of the child’s lungs, heart and blood vessels (Cohen, 2013).
As the child develops it is important that they part take in physical activity as it helps with bone and muscle health.
In young people sport is particularly important as it can help develop motor skills and cognitive function.
Sport can decrease the risk of suffering a stroke later in life by approximately 50%.
Exercise is mildly effective at improving depressive symptoms in individuals with chronic physical illness (ASEP, 2013).
Physical health correlates with mental health. If the individual is physically healthy than their self-esteem lifts whereas if they are not physically healthy their self-esteem is typically low.
The school playground can be one of the most important arenas for encouraging children’s physical activity.
The AIS or Australian Institute of Sport have developed a scaffold for school based strategies to promote sport and physical activity. These include; remodelling the school, educating the teachers on the importance of physical activity, integrate sport into homework, maximise sport in OOSH centres, give the students a voice when deciding on the sport.
Schools can encourage physical activity and therefore promote health by having a healthy canteen and removing the lollies and unhealthy foods, having fruit break where they encourage children to eat one piece of fruit along with producing a play environment that promotes physical activity.
This promotion of physical activity can be from having cricket nets or a large sporting areas for them or bringing out various pieces of equipment (e.g. balls and skipping ropes) at break times.
During primary school they have a sports day mainly at the end of the week. Depending on the time of year the sports change from term to term. This change gives them an opportunity to sample a range of different sports.
By giving the students the opportunity to sample the various sports they are able to gain a sense of the sports they like and can pursue them outside of school.
It is shown that children who participate in Active Play during their breaks have enhanced coping skills. Maximising quality play opportunities during school breaks has the potential to enhance children’s physical and mental health (BMC Public Health, 2014, p.4)
