1: taking charge of your health (pg 17-29) Abuse of environment=natural backlash- less hospitable and livable place for humans. Root of the problem is to reduce the amount of population from manufacturing, increased population size, transportation and use of technology. Ranked highest to low: health educators, health centre medical staff, parents, coursework, pamphlets, campus newspaper, campus peer educators, resident assistants or advisors, religious centres, internet, friends, magazine, television, other. Go to the original source, watch for misleading language, distinguish between research reports and public health advice, anecdotes are not facts, be skeptical, make choices that are right for you. Examine current health habits- behavioural changes to reduce health risks should be life long- not later in life. 1: choose a target behaviour-working on one behaviour until you succeed-> goal more significant-> success. Learn about your target behaviour and find help. Many have sedentary lifestyles, particularly teens- even though they are aware it is bad, but need motivation!
