SEC-S16 / W4 | "The Environment and Our Health"๐๐ฉโโ๏ธ
picture of my environment
One of the best gifts God has given to us as human beings is the environment, and as so, it is our responsibility to take good care of it. Right from the old days in school, we all have learnt that the environment is made of three basic components which are the air, water and land. These three basic components are among our essentials for sustenance as living things.
The environment has an important role to play with our health and lives in total and so, the way we care for it will determine how it will affect our wellbeing. We'll be discussing together the theme for the Season 16 week 4 which is - "The Environment And Our Health". Let's begin
Environment is a very broad term that can refer to a wide range of things. The most basic definition of the environment is the surrounding in which living things exist. This includes the physical, biological and chemical aspects of the world around us. Does this only apply to living things alone? No, it doesn't, which means non living things can be found in the environment.
An environment can also refer to a specific area such as an ocean, a forest or a city. It can also refer to the human-made world, natural world or both. Environment can also be attached to the interaction between people such as through the use of their resources and others. And finally, most importantly it can also refer to the quality of the environment whether it' is clean, comfortable or polluted and dangerous.
Our surroundings, or the environment can have an acute impact on our wellbeing in a number of ways. The physical environment can affect our health straight away, through the things like air, noise and water pollution. It can also affect our mental health, through factors like the presence and availability of green space, the fairness of our surroundings and the amount of sunlight we get.
The social environment can also impact our well-being, through things such as the level of social support we have, the availability of community resources and the range of crimes and violence in our community.
Pollution is the release of harmful substances into the environment, Which makes the surrounding not fit for survival. There are four major types of pollution and they are;
| Land pollution |  |
|---|---|
| Air pollution |  |
| Water pollution |  |
| Noise pollution |  |
Pollution of any kind is a major public health concern, as the can cause or aggravate a range of different kind of health issues and conditions. Air pollution can cause health issues such as certain cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Some examples include asthma, heart disease, emphysema and bronchitis. Air pollution can also increase the risk of high chances of premature death, reduced quality of life from long-term damage the lungs and other delicate organs.
Water pollution, are also dangerous to the human health, disrupting a perfect well-being. Contaminated water can lead to major gastrointestinal illness including vomiting, diarrhea and even death. It can also cause defects from birth, nervous system damage and problems with the reproductive system.
There are lot of things I do everyday as an individual who wants to promote the environmental health of the globe. Some of them are;
| Discouraging deforestation and encourage afforestation and other vegetation to help improve air quality |  |
|---|---|
| Eating locally made or grown food to reduce environmental and health impact etc |  |
- Using reusable items like shopping bags and water bottles.
- Recycling whenever possible.
- Turning off electronics anywhere, whenever not in use.
Education and awareness is a very powerful tool in any setting and so it can be for promoting environmental health. When people are enlightened and taught about the importance of what it means to keep their surroundings clean for them and other natural habitats as well as other species. Education is the key! - we all know this phrase and it is the key and right ingredient to have a good meal which is termed on promoting environmental health.
The environment is ours and it our responsibility to take good care of it. The environment and our surrounding has effect on our physical and mental health, and well-being. Pollution of all kinds are very dangerous and are bound to cause and aggravate major health challenges.
Education and awareness are two key ingredients in the recipe for a healthy environment. By increasing people's knowledge and understanding of how their actions affect the globe, we can begin to make and take steps to create a better environment for all.
I'm inviting... @bossj23, @kidi40 and @josepha to participate.

Bro you are good at writing, I really love it that you took time elaborating on the important of maintaining good and healthy environment. It's very good to educate and create awareness of living in healthy environment. So as to eliminate poor and polluted environment. Best luck @alli001.
Thank you bro for the compliment. Our environment is not as God created because of humans polluting the air. Sitting back and watch then pollute the air without finding solution to it wi only harm us, so joining forces to give our environment the natural look will help.

Saludos el medio ambiente es todo la naturaleza y el entorno nos rodea y todos los seres vivos se ven afectados si hay contaminaciรณn por ejemplo los humanos adquieren diferentes enfermedades que lo ha llevado hasta la muerte es por ello que cada uno de nosotros debemos de poner nuestro granito de arena y tratar en los menos posibles contaminar nuestro ambiente
