Being in good health is not only healthy for you, it is important because it can help you with your confidence and you can receive more energy in the day. As kids we all think school is boring and we would rather be hanging out with our friends then sitting in class and listening to the teacher, but the fact is the higher education level you acquire can be directly related to your health. The education you receive can also improve help you because it will increase your knowledge and you will have a better understanding on how to take care of yourself, what I mean by this is becoming aware of your symptoms earlier and deciding if it’s something minor like a small cold, or something major like the flu. There is also a link between your gender and you knowledge on health. The studied had shown that education had a higher impact on females then males. “To entertain the possibility that the impact of schooling on health knowledge differs between males and females, we re-estimated the models by adding an interaction variable between attendance and a dichotomous variable to indicate if the person is female. The results, presented in Altindag et al. (2010), demonstrate that the impact of schooling is greater for females, and in some of the alcohol-related questions, such as alcohol-addiction and alcohol-liver damage, education has an impact on the health knowledge for females but not for males” (Cannonier, C, Altindag, D. 2011). The methods used In the Hints survey 2007 the question was “Are you male or female?” There were only two responses that could be picked the first response was male, while the second response was female. The data was collected by phone and mail, the number of people in the survey was 7,665. The number of males in ... ... middle of paper ... ...dence in males. This is keeping in mind only how they feel about taking care of themselves not actually how they are about taking care of themselves which could affect that data that was acquired.

When we consider the education of our children in the United States, we must consider their health as a significant issue as it can positively or negatively impact a student’s education. It has generally been acknowledged that there is a great disparity in our country in the area of health care. Healthy People2010, a published report put out by the Health and Human Services Division of the Unites States Government (2000) has included as part of its Goals for 2010, to eliminate health disparities among different segments of the population. According to this report, health differences occur depending on a persons gender, race or ethnicity, education or income, disability, rural locality, or sexual orientation. In this paper, I will mostly concentrate on racial and ethnic differences as well as socioeconomic differences. According to the Healthy People 2010 report, biological and genetic differences do not explain the health disparities experienced by non-White populations in the United States. Besides "complex interaction among genetic variations, environmental factors, and specific health behaviors," Health and Human Services says, "inequalities in income and education underlie many health disparities in the United States." Also, "population groups that suffer the worst health status are also those that have the highest poverty rates and least education." Health, United States (1998) reported that each increase of income or education increased the likelihood of being in good health. According to this report, those with less education tend to die younger than those with more education for all major causes of death including chronic diseases, communicable diseases and injuries. There are several factors that account for differences between socioeconomic and racial and ethnic groups. These factors include a lower sedentary life style, cigarette smoking and less likely to have health insurance coverage or receive preventive care among these groups.

The film gives a sense that something about education is correlated to health. First, from my point of view education does not just give us our economic status, yet the understanding of the world and the social behavior instead of the individual when concerns to health choices. Having an education people will have a better view of certain situations, so they can make better choices. According to Nana Krieger a social epidemiologist, “Among twins who lived together until age eighteen, who basically grew up in the household, so had at least a relatively similar exposure, if they diverged late in life, if one became professional, and the other was working class they ended up with different health status as adults. This is among identical twins.”(Page 1) Unnatural Cause- In other words, even if you had same childhood as your siblings, the education level will determine your health. A reason why education provides us with a good health because a person who is graduated from university will have a better life style compare to high school graduated. Consequently, education is linked to a healthy life because educated people tends to have more opportunities in order to have a healthy lifestyle than working class people. Thus, people with college degrees tend to live longer. Education is the door to many different factors that positively enforce a better health. Education

Education is a major factor for the development of an individual and can have a large impact on a person’s health. Education and health are closely linked and can either change a person’s life for the better or worse due to the lack of education or having a sufficient education.
Some hypothesize that moderate levels of exercise will decrease the symptoms of mental health conditions (Blumenthal et al., 2007; Diaz & Motta, 2008; Motta, Kuligowski, & Marino, 2010; Rosenbaum, Nguyen, Lenehan, Tiedemann, van der Ploeg, & Sherrington, 2011) and therefore be used as an alternative or complimentary treatment option for mental health (Libby, Pilver, & Desai, 2012).
The resulting participants were 100 adults aged 18 through 81. Fifty-three Caucasians, 17 Hispanics, 15 African Americans, 9 Pacific Islanders, 5 Asian, and 1 American Indian made up our participants. Fifty adults were randomly chosen to be in the control group and the other fifty adults were in the experimental group. The mean age of the control group was 50 years old and the mean age of the experimental group was 49 years old. 50% of the participants were female and 50% were male in each group.
All over the world, it is believed that physical exercises help people achieve wellness. Physical exercise not only encourages physical wellness but also have a significant impact on mental stability and health. Although such positive believes stand, many benefits of physical activity has lost value overtime, as people nowadays have the tendency to rely on modern technologies and machineries, which are believe to make life easier. This often leads to shortage of physical activity and over sometime both physical and mental health will deteriorate. This argumentative essay, will explain how engaging in physical exercises improve one’s mental health.
People with more education have better physical and mental health; also education helps improve the overall quality of people’s lives. By helping people get better jobs, it reduces financial worries. It builds self-esteem, feeling of being in control; it also makes them critically aware of media messages about health. It contributes to health behaviors, such as moderate drinking, anti-smoking, according to the Institute of education at the University of London (Dec. 2004). As stated earlier, education reduces inequalities, creates intolerance, build social cohesion and boost the health of whole communities.
In addition to these basic literacy skills, health literacy also requires the knowledge of health topics. People with limited health literacy often lack knowledge or are misinformed about the body as well as the types and causes of disease. Without having this knowledge, they lack the knowledge that there is a relationship between lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise and the effects that an unhealthy lifestyle may cause greater risk of diseases and poor health effects. Health literacy is a new idea in health promotion research and some recent works suggests that there is a relationship between literacy and the health level of an individual. (Zarcadoolas, Pleasant & Greer, 2005). Having a better understanding of health literacy is very crucial nowadays as there are many kinds of health care plans, medical advances requiring the knowledge to use new medical devices, and with improved health literacy individuals will be able to live healthier lifestyles and in turn it would reduce the costs of

Furthermore, education aids in gaining social support, from strengthening social networks to mitigating social stressors (Freudenberg & Ruglis, 2007). With education, people acquire a greater sense of control, and better health. Recent reviews show policies increasing educational achievement may play a significant role on population health (Freudenberg & Ruglis, 2007). In addition, estimates propose investments seeking to improve educational attainment can actually save more lives than medical advances. These possibilities can only be realized however if public health researchers develop new methods to study reciprocal relationships between health and education, and the need for
A study of Education and Health is particularly interesting because these two are fundamental components of human capital. In the contemporary U.S., holding a college degree is associated with a range of health-related benefits, basically because the college educated people maintain healthier lifestyles, have fewer functional limitations, lower probability of being disabled and suffering from chronic diseases (Bauldry, 2014). Furthermore according to the study by Mirowsky and Ross (2003) college educated people have lower rates of mortality. In such context and for many years the link between education and health has sparked great interest and has become subject of scrutiny for the sociologists in various countries, who have been keen to systematize any direct or indirect causality, correlation and pathways. In fact most of the papers and empirical studies that have been conducted on this topic indicate that higher education leads to improved health also in the case in which it is controlled for different indicators of socio-economic status and demographical characteristics (Xie and Mo, 2014). Study of causality of education on health is especially important for drawing appropriate policies which objective is to improve health through promoting education and to determine the rate of return to education funding (Xie and Mo, 2014).
