Education to Health

I decided to compare education to health. Diet and exercise are major factors in what type of health issues/problems a person develops throughout their life. From the day you are born the type of diet and exercise affects your health. A person that does not monitor negative habits such as; eating unhealthy foods, consuming more calories than needed, using drugs, abusing alcohol, not exercising daily, will be more likely to develop serious health issues. A lot of people have health issues that are from family genes, however they can be monitored by dieting and exercising daily.

Education for a person begins from the day they are born. There are a number of outside forces that can affect the level of education a person gets. Parenting as a newborn (being read to and learning how to communicate and speak). The effectiveness of teachers from K-12. Role-models in life. Friends that are made. Activities that a person is involved in (sports, music, art, language, etc). The amount of effort that a person gives back into learning (studying and reading). All of the above mentioned factors affect the quality of education that a person receives.

I compared education to health because I believe that they are similar in the fact that many variables affect both greatly. Education can be positively or negatively affected depending on the influences and experiences in a persons life. This is similar to health where it can be positively or negatively affected depending on the diet and exercise.

The fascinating aspect is that the level of health and education are constantly changing for better or for worse.

*Dieting does not mean losing weight (ie weight watchers). A diet is a healthy amount of food consumed that relates to their body type.
