    “A sound mind lives in a sound body” A healthy lifestyle cannot be acquired without frame of

    mind and proper frame of mind cannot be possible without proper health and hygiene

    It is from that idea wherein health education enters. Health education is the very foundation of
    very successful public health program so one of the main function education should be is to help
    everyone to have a healthy body, an alert mind and sound emotional attitude.

    Health education bridges the gap between health knowledge and health practices of the people.
    It ensures wellness of the body and mind of very individual. It employs health education experts or
    skilled on that matter to help shape the future health care of all the citizens of the country.

    Health education is indeed a tool or a mover to push people to be aware of proper health and
    sanitation. And in doing this, People are departed from traditional sanitation practices. Virus abound
    everywhere and we need to combat them with proper knowledge and application.

    The COVID-19 is challenging everyone to be health conscious and militant. The challenge today
    is to reduce as much as possible the negative impact it has in our lives. The health educators help us
    cope with this crisis, teaching us to be stronger and more vigilant so that we can evade from deadly
    virus.
    Why should we care about health education? What good will it do to us? People just don’t care
    since they are far beyond what the ordinary people for a living.

    But rich or poor, young or old health education is very important. It teaches above physical,
    mental, emotional and social wealth. The people should be aware of this importance of health
    education.

    Furthermore, health education aims to improve and maintain health and prevent diseases and
    reduce risky behavior. Poverty is a great hindrance in achieving material things for them to have a
    healthy life. If they are living in slum areas, they cannot get away from unclear or untidy and unhealthy
    environment. No matter what effort exerted by the health practitioners it seems that it has no positive
    effects, for how can they vail medicines, disinfectants and health essentials such as alcohol soap and the
    like if food and water is their primary needs?

    I think health education facilitates actions towards the achievement of the goals and objectives
    of the heath sector. Mental health showed also be give emphasis to people at the lover portion of this
    society. Due to difficulties they are experiencing, they are prone to depression leading to suicide.

    In conclusion, Health education enhances the physical, social, emotional, and psychosocial
    component of a human. It is indeed not enough that an individual is physically healthy, He must also be
    mentally healthy where he feels that he is loved, has sense of belongingness and everyone is concerns
    about him.
