TPH Healthy Weights Concept Healthy weights - interrelationship
between healthy eating, physical activity and self-esteem.
Weight is influenced by genetics, environment and personal choices.
Extremes in body weight are a risk factor for chronic diseases.
![Page 14: From Ads to Action: A childhood healthy weights communication campaign promoting physical activity, health eating & self-esteem Presented by: Donna Howard,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2e5503460f94b1e01d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TPH Healthy Weights Concept (continued) Achieving and maintaining a healthy
weight focuses on behaviours rather than weight itself.
Healthy weights are individual and unique.
Healthy bodies come in different shapes and sizes.
