My Health Triangle

You make choices every day that affect you health. You decide what to eat, how

to spend your time, and who you will spend your time with (well….technically you don’t get to hand pick your family

). All of these factors create your overall Health. Health is a combination of your physical, mental/emotional, and social well-being. Thus, as discussed in class, your health needs to maintain a

balance of all three sides of your health and your health triangle. They are all

interrelated, and the key to good health is keeping a balance health triangle.
