LIFESTYLE DISEASES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

Emphasizing that youth does not provide immunity from lifestyle diseases, segments on smoking, alcohol, obesity, sleep, and stress describe how teens’ decisions have an immediate impact on their health in the present, not just the future. Commentary from a doctor complements interviews with teens about their health and lifestyle choices, and teens already dealing with the consequences of smoking, drinking, and being overweight—consequences such as Type 2 diabetes and decreased lung performance—are highlighted. A final segment provides suggestions for making healthy choices. Included is a 36-page pdf guide featuring a pre/post test, activities, and fact sheets. Grades 7–12. Closed captioned. Color. 18 minutes. Human Relations Media. ©2009.
