Why do you need to
become active in
life?
 The rise of mortality due to
non-communicable diseases has
been noted by the DOH over the
past years. In fact, the number
one cause of death among
Filipino is heart disease followed
by cancer.
 These diseases are non-
communicable because they are not
acquired from infectious agents
such as viruses and bacteria. Non-
communicable diseases develop
slowly but its progress can be
hastened if an individual possesses
certain characteristics of risk
factors.
 There are two classifications of risk
factors: non-modifiable and
modifiable. Non-modifiable risk factors
are intrinsic factors and cannot be
altered purposely such as age and sex.
Modifiable risk factors are lifestyle and
environmental conditions that can be
altered such as smoking, poor diet and
physical inactivity.
 According to WHO, physical
inactivity accounts 3.2 million
deaths all over the world every
year. Around 20% of coronary
artery disease is attributed to
physical inactivity. It is important
that we encourage the students to
move a lot and engage in various
forms of physical activities.
What is the
relationship between
physical inactivity and
non-communicable
disease?
 Why s it
important to
practice
healthy habits?
 FITNESS IS A
UNIVERSAL CONCERN
Why is it hard to
change unhealthy
habits?
They are hard to break
because they were
already programmed in
the brain
Changing unhealthy
habits is an arduous
task but not an
impossible one.
 The first step is to
recognize the practice
of unhealthy habits
 Most smokers are
aware that smoking is
bad for their health and
yet negative behavior
persists.
It should be a personal
and conscious decision
that the old habit is
detrimental to one’s
health
 The will power to
change unhealthy
habits is vital in
making a productive
life
 They are hard to
change because of
some barriers to an
active lifestyle
