Health and its determinants. Literature review

Summary/Abstract: Apart from medical care, medical biological equipment or physical environment, the biggestimpact on our health have our behaviors. We can influence them so they will help our health,influence in a positive way our emotions, help in relations with others or in the longer rundevelop our social and personal resources (Wrona-Polańska 2003).On the basis of the research analysis and literature it can be concluded that an importantpractical direction is to develop from a young age health awareness, i.e. knowledge aboutwhat health is and how we can influence it to develop it. Education should aim at continuousdevelopment of knowledge of health and its conditioning, promote a healthy lifestyleexpressed in conscious activity aimed not only at avoiding a certain group of behaviors(e.g. smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol) but above all developing health potentials (e.g.sensitizing young people to art, music, beauty of nature in order to trigger positive emotionsthat mobilize the body to deal effectively with everyday challenges).These actions are necessary so that a holistic, functional approach to health can graduallypenetrate into the ordinary consciousness of young people and consequently lead to theirconscious control and regulation of their own health.
