This document discusses how public and personal health is continually changing. It provides historical context by noting that in the 1800s-early 1900s, the most common causes of death in the US were contagious diseases like tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, bubonic plague and cholera. However, today the leading causes of poor health and death are preventable through healthier choices like eating better, exercising more, and avoiding tobacco. The document suggests modern technologies and societal changes may contribute to poorer health outcomes and notes an individual's health exists on a continuum that is always changing based on behaviors and choices.

- Where are you? Where do you want to be? What you learn in this class can help you reach your highest potential of health? ASSIGNMENT IDEA: Take a picture of yourself today and put it in an envelope along with a piece of paper answering these questions. 1. Where are you on the health continuum? Do you have good nutrition habits give 3 reasons? How often do you exercise? How much sleep do you get? Could a change in your weight improve your health and how? Do you find yourself feeling sad, nervous, or angry more than you think you should? Do you feel purpose in your life? Do you participate in any negative communities such as gangs, bullying, inappropriate internet use? Do you have any unhealthy relationships in your life that you can change? Do you do your best in school? Do you have a positive plan for the future? Come to class with a picture of yourself the last week of school and see how you’ve changed. Go over the questions and reevaluate how your health has changed. Have you developed any bad habits that are hurting your health? Have you changed any habits for the better that are improving your health? Have you incorporated anything we’ve talked about in this class to improve your health?
