why is it important to study health?

Answer 1

Because it provides an understanding as to how the human body functions, what is normal and what is not. Understanding health is a vital part of our lives. Health is a very broad term and can cover many areas of the human body and how it functions. Good health is so important. It allows our bodies to fight infection, provides energy and stamina, promotes heart wellness, allows other major organs to be proficient. I wasn't actually certain as to what the question was seeking for answers, so, I thought this would cover enough of the topic. I hope that this helps.

Hi Sandra. Nothing is more challenging or more limiting in life than poor health. Americans spend 1/6th of their lifetime incomes on health care. Most chronic health problems are a product of poor lifestyles - poor choices in food/diet, excercise, personal behavior (brushing teeth, wearing a seat belt, regular check-ups with prevention oriented health care providers), etc.

By studying health and becoming educated about it, you can take control of your health by making better choices. In the long run this can improve the quality and length of your life and the size of your bank account!
