There are many behaviors that have a direct effect on our personal health. Some of these behaviors have a positive effect on our health while others have a negative effect. It is important to recognize these behaviors and understand what can be done to continue to improve one’s overall health.
Each of us make daily choices, both positive and negative, that have a direct impact on our health. For your initial discussion post, choose and discuss at least two positive and two negative behaviors that directly affect your health. Provide examples. These behaviors may be physical, social, environmental, or even mental.
For your reply post, respond to at least one other student’s initial discussion post. Choose one of the negative behaviors that was discussed in their post and give a recommendation on how the student can improve their negative behavior in order to improve their health.
Due dates for your initial and response posts can be found by checking the Course Syllabus and Course Calendar.

Well, I am going to answer this one without a google reference,
Negative: way too much phone time, the constant browse of social media or the use of your phone when quality time should be spent face to face. This one I am working on with my teens at the moment. What is working for us, is no phones on Sunday, no phones at the dinner table, this also includes outings. When the children talk to us there are no phones in their hands or earbuds in their ears. If they can’t hear me, I will not hear their requests either. This one is a tough one. We just had an incident with this one today about a friend request coming over. He asked, I answered, he had earbuds in talking to someone. When he said, “what did you say?” I said, “I said what I said.” He went “UGH.” and knew I was not going to repeat myself. So, no friend interaction was had.
Positive: Take time to just breath, it can be morning coffee or that 20 minutes when everyone goes to bed. That is when I sneak my time in during the week. I don’t do social media at night. I usually do homework, but I do take at most 20 minutes and just have a glass of water and sit and listen to some music.
