( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Welcome to Contemporary Health Issues! Together, we'll dive into the fascinating world of contemporary health issues, covering everything from exercise and fitness to nutrition, weight control, stress management, mental health, and substance abuse.
Throughout our exploration, you'll have the chance to reflect on your own health habits and understand how they may contribute to the risk of disease. This course is all about empowerment. By the end, you'll be equipped to craft a personalized wellness program aimed at reducing risk factors not only for yourself but also for your loved ones and the wider community.
The course modules and the book's chapters are a perfect match, working together to support your learning. Each week, you will read the information in the Canvas modules and then read the assigned chapters before completing your assignments. Remember, I’ll be here to support you throughout the course—please do not hesitate to contact me!
