			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Health And Physical Education</h1>
<p>Both health and physical education go hand in hand and need to work cohesively to have any positive effect on one another. Maintaining good health by consuming good nourishing foods as well as getting the right amount of fluids, water or juices, will only make our physical education experience both more enjoyable as well as be able to accomplish more in the form of not feeling bad which is what comes with not eating right. Which it should be known that one should drink half their body weight in ounces when it comes to water, which if one drinks a soda or coffee, this doesn&#8217;t qualify as half their body weight and needs to be made up in the form of water. In the past schools took care of the physical education part as most all schools did at least couple days of PE each week, which the parents held the responsibility of providing good foods and advising kids on wise choices when it comes to what to eat both at home as well as at school. But as health and physical education classes are being pushed out of school and/or becoming optional due to budget cuts or whatever other reason, the responsibility for advising children on both leading a healthy lifestyle as well as working in some sort of physicial education is are both for parents to provide now.</p>
<p>Being that at a young age children are extremely moldable and if done right, a parent can teach health and physical education concepts, examples as well as methods and exercises in which a child can adapt and continue to use for the rest of their life. This ultimately will lead to a more longevity and better quality of life in the next generation as well as provide the foundation for these children to teach their kids the right health and physical education ways and so on. A few examples that parents can offer to their kids as physical education are signing them up in seasonal sports as well as doing walks or jogs with them, which the ultimate aspect that one wants to focus upon is making the activity fun as one bad experience might set the child off where they won&#8217;t want to try again. Organized sports offer young kids not only a fun time with exercise but also teambuilding skills as well as interpersonal skils that can help them immensely as an adult. As far as health examples, the best thing is moderation which can meet cutting out some of the unhealthy things that the family is eating, which a great method is to eat healthy all week then treat your self on weekends as a reward which can be looked forward to.</p>
<p>The other fact when it comes to those who are worried about overeating is that the simple act of chewing your food more before swallowing will actual trigger ones brain to knowing that your body has had enough nourishment a lot faster, which the food will start to digest more by keeping it in your mouth longer as thats where the digestion process starts, leaving you will a satisfied feeling that often thinks only eating more will provide. Another aspect that one can use for health and physical education is to find a muli-vitamin that can provide you with the nutrients that you are not getting in the foods that you are consuming, as the food is becoming more and more depleted on nutrients each and every year that passes. At the end of the day, it is calories in and calories out, which means that we need to be burning the amount of calories we consume in order to maintain our weight.</p>
<p>By utilizing these health and physical education tips above, one can really provide their children with the right habits that will make an impact both in the short term as well as long term. Also, by adapting better health and physical education regimn, one will feel and think better which will provide better success in school as well as on the job as well as bring one a much higher self-esteem, leaving them feeling good on the inside and outside. For even more information on obtaining a better understanding of ongoing health and physical education information, a great site is offered by Dr. Mercola who specializes in a broad amount of natropathic topics and can provide one with very valuable information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Health Education In Public Schools</h1>
<p>Health education in public schools is needed more today than anytime in history as physical as well as mental/emotional disorders are more prevelant in young individuals today than ever. The topics delved upon in public school classes deal with the age group, in which a health educator is needed for all levels of public school starting grade school and all the way up to the high school level. The administered curriculum can vary depending on what level one is teaching, but the teaching tends to follow a pretty similar structure, all of which is dedicated to touching upon subjects that are the most prevalent among the age group the health educator is teaching to. Below is an example of some of the health education topics that are taught in public schools.</p>
<h2>Curriculum of Health Education In Public Schools</h2>
<p><strong>Health Education in Public Elementary Schools</strong></p>
<p>Health education topics in elementary schools are pretty generic, which health educators are found the least in this level of schooling, but the direness of the administration at this level are imperative that good habits are taught correctly as this can set up the foundation for good habits for the long term, even a lifetime. Some of the main topics that are focused upon in are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eating right and making healthy eating choices.</li>
<li>Staying active through extraacurricular activities.</li>
<li>Spotting symptoms of sickness.</li>
<li>What to do if one witnesses or are being bullied as well as violence mediation.</li>
<li>Positive emotion expression.</li>
<li>Methods that prevent sickness from spreading.</li>
<li>The stop drop and roll method.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Health Education in Public Schools for Middle and High School</strong></p>
<p>Health education in middle school and high school tends to be taught on very similar subjects as these age groups are fairly similar as well as they are dealing with many of the same inhibiting factors, those of which can include:</p>
<ol>
<li>A healthy body image, which includes eating right and the right amount for each individual, which the main goal of teaching this subject is to teach the pupils to embrace individuality and stray away from trying to look like a model or celebrity.</li>
<li>Emotional health like coping with certain mental disorders as well as the identification of them, which this topic also focuses heavily upon suicidal topics and what to do if one is in this state of emotional health.</li>
<li>Teaching of different STDs as well as methods of prevention, which this topic also focuses upon avoiding adolecent pregnancy.</li>
<li>Alcohol and tobacco use as well as preventing the use. This also includes teaching the students about the effects of both of these.</li>
<li>Preventing bulling and violence are also a topic touched upon in health education in public schools.</li>
<li>Becoming aware of the symptoms of asthma.</li>
<li>Working out and topics that mesh with it like eating healthy and staying active.</li>
</ol>
<p>Many of these are examples that the NCAAHPERD in which they state that most all schools end up only teaching on one of the many topics of health education, in which a small percentage actually employ all of the main 13 topics of health education in public schools.</p>
<h3>Public School Health Educator</h3>
<p>If you are interested in teaching health education in public schools, you can do so by obtaining a degree in health studies, as well as attain the Certified Health Education Specialist title which is an optional credential but can help one attain better jobs as well as a larger salary. Four year degrees are usually a minimum requirement for health education jobs, in which the median salary is over $60,000 a year in a profession that is expected to explode an employment demand over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.</p>

<li>Specialty/Type of Facility &#8211; There are various different specialties and places where you can find health education jobs in which the health educator salary can differ.
