Factors Affecting Health Video Lecture - Class 9

hello friends this video on why do we
fall ill part 2 is brought to you by
exam fear calm no more fear from exam so
now let us look at the factors which
affect health what are the different
factors which actually affect our health
so the first factor is social
environment plus physical environment
what do you think I'm talking about when
I say social plus physical environment
well when I am talking about the social
environment and talking about our
surroundings where we actually live for
example if you compare somebody who is
living in a metro a big city with
another person who is living in a small
town and again if you compare yourself
with another person who is living in a
very small village do you think that the
social environment for these three
persons are all the same they are not
right for somebody who is believing in
big city he is having all the facilities
around him
he is adding nice infrastructure
cleanliness around him at the same time
he is facing a lot of pollution where
somebody was leaving a small village
maybe it is not that organized maybe it
is it is bit pollution see because you
don't have so many vehicles there and
you have lot of greenery but at the same
time maybe it is little clumsy and
little crowded and you might have
garbage thrown here and there so the
social environment also plays an
important role in your health right what
do I mean when I talk about the physical
environment physical environment
generally talks about the natural
phenomenon which happens in the
environment for example we often hear of
news of floods earthquakes cyclones or
heavy rains so don't you think that all
these things also affect our health for
example due to floods we often see that
so many people
lose their lives there are so many
people who get injured physically right
so the physical environment also plays
an important role the climatic
conditions right so the social and
physical environment together plays or
together affects our health the next
factor is cleanliness individual as well
as public cleanliness so when I talk of
individual cleanliness what all comes to
our mind so when I talk of individual
cleanliness we can think of all these
things for example washing hands before
we eat something because we are going
out we are doing so many things we are
touching so many different objects so
maybe they are are germs are there are
things in our hands which are not good
for our health so it is always good to
wash our hands properly before we eat
something so again when I talk of
individual cleanliness we should
maintain hygiene so where do you think
we can maintain hygiene in our
individual life for example we should
try to keep our house neat and clean we
should try to keep the kitchen very neat
you should keep whatever we cook we
should keep them covered so that insects
or
something else doesn't fall into them
all right so we should maintain those
kind of hygiene at our home again we
should clean ourselves properly that
means when we take bath we should take
bath regularly and that we should wash
our body properly so that our body is
neat and clean right so these are some
of the small things which we can take
care of when we talk when we think of
our individual cleanliness now when it
comes to public cleanliness what are the
things that should be taken care of when
I talk of Public line eNOS for example
the garbage the garbage should not be
thrown here and there right so the
garbage should be every if every person
if everybody main
individual cleanliness maintaining the
public cleanliness becomes little easier
right so in I see many places not only
the small towns or villages even in big
cities there are places where you will
see that people threw garbage on
roadside and it is in an open space
where people just come and keep throwing
their garbage so there is lot of dirt
there so so many insects birds will come
and they will start picking up things
from there and it is like it will smell
badly so it is a horrible place to live
so if these if you are living in these
kind of localities the tendency that you
will your health will get affected will
be more right so the garbage should be
properly collected and accumulated at a
place so that it does not cause
pollution or so that it does not affect
the people residing in that locality
right so what we can do is everybody in
their house can pack their garbage in up
in a bag and then that can be collected
by the people the municipality people
who come and then they can collect it
and then they can throw it at an
appropriate place right similarly the
when I talk of public cleanliness the
unclean drains should be looked after so
you can see that there are so many
drains where water keeps flowing but
nobody maintains it so that water will
have all dirt in it it will smell badly
it will have so many insects mosquitoes
and flies opening around here and there
so these are the places where from where
diseases actually arise so there should
be no stagnant water collected anywhere
because wherever you have stagnant water
you have mosquito breeding there now
more must be DOS so those must be toes
can cause many severe diseases right so
these are some of the things which we
can take care of when we talk of
cleanliness both at individual level as
well as public level the third thing is
good economic conditions why do you
think that a good economic country
also affect our health now when I talk
of health health will be good only when
we have everything in a proper quantity
we should eat properly to be to have
good physical health now in order to eat
proper food and in order to get good
nourishment what do we need we need
money right if you want to buy
vegetables or fruits or pulses you need
money right you'll not get it for free
so from where will you get that money in
order to earn that money you need to
work right so good economic conditions
if somebody who is very poor he cannot
afford good food for himself so if he is
not eating proper food it is very
obvious that his health is getting
affected right so good implica nama
conditions is extremely important in
order to have a good health the next one
is social equality and harmony as I said
the human beings are social animals
right so if we live in a society where
there is lot of distinction between rich
and poor so what will happen it will
depress the poor if there is too much of
distinction between a boy and the girl
if people say that boys are good and
girls and output if you're living in
that kind of a society what will happen
the girls will stay depressed they will
start feeling bad so their mental health
will be affected right so social
equality should be maintained everybody
should be treated equally be it the rich
or the poor or be it a man or a woman so
everybody should be given or should be
treated equally and there should be
harmony between people so if there are
fights if there are arguments between
people so what will happen we will lose
happiness right so let us take this
example suppose if you are living in a
society where you have 4 neighbors right
so the 4 families are staying together
so which is a better situation to live
in that the 4 families are very
with each other they keep coming and
going to each other houses they keep
inviting them on festivals so that is a
good scenario or this is a good scenario
where they don't talk to each other they
always argue with each other they keep
fighting amongst themselves so in which
such scenario do you think that people
will be happier people will be in a good
mental and social health the one which
has a lot of harmony right so in order
to be in good health both mentally and
socially social equality and harmony
also plays a very important role right
so these are some of the broad factors
which affects our health social and
physical environment individual and
public cleanliness good economic
conditions social equality and harmony
many of us often misunderstand being
healthy as being disease-free many
people think that if I am NOT suffering
from any disease that means I am healthy
but as I mentioned in the definition of
health that it is not always the
scenario that if we are disease-free
that doesn't mean that we are healthy
let us look at some of the examples so
being disease-free does not necessarily
mean to be healthy right let us look at
some of the examples let us look at this
guy what does it look like he look like
a sports man rate so for this player
what do you think that healthy would
mean to be maybe this player thinks that
as long as he is fit enough he is active
enough to play well he is healthy as
long as nothing is bothering his energy
he feels that he is healthy enough but
maybe there are some problems which is
maybe some physical problems over here
going in his body maybe he is getting
some skin infection somewhere but since
it is not bothering him so he is fine he
feels that being a player what he needs
he needs a lot of energy he needs
fitness he needs to be active and if he
is having all that he calls himself to
be healthy right similarly if you look
at a dancer for a dancer he should be
able to stretch her hand
and legs properly she should have good
energy in her so if she is having all
those things she feels that she's
healthy similarly for a single maybe if
his lungs are good enough
his breathing capacity is good enough he
feels that he is healthy and if you
think of an old person maybe this old
lady if she is able to walk if she is
able to go to her neighbor friends chat
with them come back on her own and she
can do little bit work on her own for
example she can prepare her own food and
serve her own food she feels that she is
healthy enough but maybe all of these
people are suffering from some other
kind of problems maybe one of them is
having some dude problem but since it is
not giving him any pain or it is not
causing him any uncomfortable so he
feels that he is healthy right so when I
talk of being healthy healthy means that
the person has to be physically fit the
person has to be mentally happy and the
person also needs to be socially
satisfied so this health is always a
combination of physical mental and
social health if all these three things
are there then you can say that a person
is healthy so this is a myth that being
disease-free is being healthy it is not
actually like that thank you
