Non-Communicable Diseases

 What I Need to Know

Prevention is the action of stopping something from happening or arising. In

health, prevention is controlling measures which include actions that can be taken to
reduce the potential of exposure to risk. This good health practice can help us in many
ways if we just follow them diligently.
Generally, a person’s overall health is about more than the absence of disease. It
is the state of physical, mental, and social well-being. Ultimately, it is the key to living a
productive and satisfying life. Maintaining good health is an important factor for a
person’s quality of life.

What Is It?

Ways to Prevent and Control NCDs

A. Exercise every day. Physical activity

removes disease-causing toxins through
sweat. It also prevents cardiovascular
disease, respiratory problems and reduces
the risk of cancer and diabetes. It is
recommended to perform at least 30
minutes of exercise a day.

B. Maintain a healthy diet. Healthy eating

is an important part of your growth and
development. Eat plenty of fruits and
vegetables, whole grains, a variety of protein
foods, and low-fat dairy products. Control
yourself from eating too much sweets, salty
and fatty foods.

C. Get enough sleep. Most teens need

between 9 and 9 ½ hours of sleep every
night. Sleep has a strong effect on your
ability to concentrate and do well at school.
D. Maintain a healthy weight. Children and
teenagers with obesity are more likely to
have obesity as an adult. They are also at
higher risk for other chronic illnesses,
depression, and bullying.

On the other hand, to prevent from being

under weight, you should eat three proper
meals every day.

E. Learn ways to manage stress. You

cannot avoid stress, so you need to learn
how to manage it. This will help you stay
calm and be able to function in stressful
situations.

F. Eliminate smoking and alcohol from

your life. One puff of cigarette leads to 100
times damage to the lungs of the human
body. Addiction to smoking and alcohol
gives a very bad effect to the body and could
lead to complications.
