Unit 10 - The IB Curriculum - A Conceptual Model

<ul>
	<li>Risk Factor: Anything about you, your surroundings, or what you do, that makes it more likely for you to get a disease or injury. Think of it as a nasty gremlin that keeps poking at your health. Yikes! 😖</li>
	<li>Example: Having a triple cheeseburger every day. The result? Potentially obesity and then diseases like diabetes or heart issues. It&#39;s like the gremlin bringing in more of his friends. Not a party you want to be at!</li>
	<li>Protective Factor: These are the superheroes in your life that fight off those nasty health gremlins. They keep you safe from diseases and injuries.</li>
	<li>Example: Regular exercise is like a superhero that punches the obesity gremlin right in the face, helping you stay healthy. Pow! 💪</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Obesity</li>
	<li>Being underweight</li>
	<li>Unsafe sex</li>
	<li>High blood pressure</li>
	<li>Smoking and drinking</li>
	<li>Bad hygiene or living conditions</li>
</ul>

Let&#39;s not invite these gremlins to our party!

<ul>
	<li>Regular exercise</li>
	<li>A healthy diet</li>
	<li>Clean water</li>
</ul>

Let&#39;s keep these superheroes around!

(Short for Biopsychosocial - a method that looks at your health from three perspectives - biological, psychological, and social)

<ul>
	<li>
	Smoking Tobacco 🚬
	</li>
	<li>Risk Factors: Addiction (biological), stress relief (psychological), peer pressure (social)</li>
	<li>Protective Factors: Nicotine patches (biological), stress management techniques (psychological), anti-smoking social campaigns (social)</li>
	<li>
	Binge Drinking 🍻
	</li>
	<li>Risk Factors: Alcohol dependency (biological), using alcohol to cope with emotions (psychological), social gatherings (social)</li>
	<li>Protective Factors: Detox programs (biological), counselling (psychological), sober social activities (social)</li>
	<li>

	</li>
	<li>Risk Factors: Lack of sexual education (biological), thrill-seeking behavior (psychological), societal norms or peer pressure (social)</li>
	<li>Protective Factors: Sex education (biological), responsible decision-making (psychological), public health campaigns promoting safe sex (social)</li>
	<li>
	Working in a Stressful Environment 😰💼
	</li>
	<li>Risk Factors: Long hours (biological), lack of coping mechanisms (psychological), toxic work culture (social)</li>
	<li>Protective Factors: Balanced work-life routine (biological), stress management strategies (psychological), supportive work environment (social)</li>
</ul>

Remember, our bodies and minds are like a complex game of pinball. Our actions can bounce us toward health (protective factors) or illness (risk factors). Keep these factors in mind, and you&#39;re already ahead of the game! Stay healthy, my friend! 💪🍎🥦🏋️&zwj;♀️💤
