6 types of health that make it up Part VI
“Take control of your health the natural way”
Enviromental health
Enviromental health It is often the most neglected part of our health, as it is also the newest recognized part of human health. Environmental health is the effects of our civilization, culture, personal habits, pollution, population growth, and travel on human health. It is a new science that measures a variety of factors that lead to acquired and congenital diseases. Congenital diseases are caused by genetic defects or factors that impair fetal development.
Examples of environmental health concerns:
Food handling is a major concern that includes not only the fertilizers and pesticides used in plant growth, but also the growth hormones and the type of process used with the meat. Birth defeats have been linked to these exact things.
Water quality is to make sure there is adequate drainage to control stagnant water. Stagnant water attracts mosquitoes that carry and spread disease. The other aspect is the purification of water for drinking, water for cooking and watering crops.
Disease Control It comes into play with the administration of vaccines and the promotion of personal hygiene along with the correct disposal of waste.
Housing and Transportation has implemented changes such as lead-free paint, asbestos removal, electric cars to help with carbon monoxide air pollution.
Contamination It has many areas of concern, such as air pollution, chemical waste management, and solid waste management, which includes recycling, landfills, and composting.
Climate change it is an aspect of environmental health that deals with rising temperatures, rising sea levels, and melting glaciers.
Environmental well-being has become many different concerns that must now be addressed as a consequence of our actions. The evolution of the health of the earth depends to a large extent on the decisions we make every day. It’s not just up to the government, it’s up to each of us to do our part to help maintain our natural resources. A healthy environment leads to a healthy self.
