What is Health? 
      Health is ones' mental and physical well-being. To be in good health you need to follow the 5 pillars to a healthy life style. The 5 pillars of health you should follow are nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep and social. 
      I think I am overall pretty healthy. I think a majority of people are healthy at SHS, but if I could change one thing to promote better health and wellness on campus would be the food sold in the cafeteria. They sell a lot of foods but a majority of the food is terrible for your body. 
     The themes and essential understandings from this unit had to be the 5 pillars of health, and based of each of those pillars connected back to a healthy lifestyle. 
      I learned that stress is not good on your health, and sleep is VERY important because it regenerates your body but if you keep depriving your body of sleep you will not be able to catch up and come out of the hole of no sleep. I learned about different exercise and how each one is beneficial to your body. I also learned about intensity levels and how you know if you are pushing yourself to your limits. There is nothing that i do not still understand fully, its pretty straight forward. The thing i did have trouble understanding in the beginning was with sleep, reading the graphs on the Astronauts Lab and deterring what type of sleep they were in. 
       On the next unit i think i could improve by asking for help sooner than later, and asking questions during lectures if i want to know something in further detail. 
        A real world application to health could be a dietitian/nutritionist, this relates to health because they are specialized in teaching people how to live a healthy lifestyle. They help people change their current lifestyles and help them make it better so they can live a happier and healthier life.
