Environmental health: Environmental health, in my opinion, relates not only to our external environment, but how we appreciate, and maintain our internal environment as well. But to provide an example of our external environment, I will point out the efforts many cities have made to prohibit smoking outdoors, or in restaurants.

Provide a brief explanation with each example. Refer to Ch. 1 in the text for explanations of these dimensions. Physical health: Exercising and eating healthy is very vital to all my organs for an optimal performance of my physical body. Even though I do not smoke or consume alcohol, I still have a fear of developing illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases etc if I don’t exercise and eat healthy. It has been a challenge for me to stick to a strict regime of exercising. I feel if I don’t incorporate exercise in to my life it will affect my ability to perform my daily living activities if I should become a victim to such diseases. My body will not be as easily responsive to normal chores and it will limit my physical performance. Social health: Not being physically fit and succumbing to any disease will be a huge hindrance to my social health. It will have a negative impact on my personal relationship with my family in the sense that they may feel I am taking time away from their lives to cater to my needs which I am unable to do for myself. I will be unable to attend social gatherings to interact with people and will definitely be unable to adapt to social situations such as attending a wedding, parties, community...
