What is risky behavior or a risk factor when it comes to health behaviors?
Describe the difference between a controllable risk factor and an uncontrollable risk factor? Give some examples.
What decisions have you made over the last couple of days that have affected your health? (+ or -) Explain.
Influences on Your Wellness Hereditary: the traits you inherit from your
parents Risk factors…focus on the controllable Social: your relationships you have with
others Negative peer pressure; parents talking out problems-not
yelling Cultural: Culture is the values, beliefs, and
practices shared by people of the same background.
Risk FactorsControllable vs. Uncontrollable
Controllable Factors- behaviors or actions you can choose to do or not do.
Uncontrollable Factors- things you can not change…

Ways to Take Charge Health Literacy: is the knowledge of health
info needed to make good decisions
Lifestyle: behavioral changes; put your knowledge into action
#1 factor that controls a person level of wellness…Choices /decisions they make
People don’t always behave in a way that shows they know what is healthy!
ATTITUDE

Feeling good about yourself and your abilities
Social Support- Deriving positive feelings from sharing life situations with others
Ch. 1.2- Health concerns in the U.S.
Communicable disease: A disease that is passed from person to person by an organism
Health concerns for teens Early 1900’s vs. today

Your choices and behaviors are part of your lifestyle and the development of habits (both good & bad)
Therefore…CHOICES #1 in what your health will be like!
Health – Then & Now Crisis Health- not taking action about your
health until something happens…illness or injury
then seeking medical help
Preventative Health- taking action to maintain a high level of wellness so there is little risk of illness/injury.
Prevention: eating right, stress management exercise, adequate sleep, support
