The kind of food that people take influence greatly their health on a large extent as to the quantity and quality of food must be taken to consideration. For the body to function under its optimum level, its must acquire enough nutrients that are helpful to its wellbeing and coordination of body organs.

As they grow their food apart from the breast milk is rich in growth nutrients that protect them against diseases and any kind of illness that may be life threatening to their life and that of their mother. Health eating is emphasized by doctors as the kind of food that people consume will greatly reveal their health. An individual should always consume a balanced diet that contains a certain amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils and not forgetting mineral salts. Doctors also emphasize on taking a considerable amount of water that is essential to a health body, it helps hydrate the body which cannot function well without water for a health life (Glen et al. 2011).
Importance on health education on an individual as well on the community as it helps to improve the health of individual and teaches them on maintaining a good health life and this follows the doctrine of a healthy nation is a developing one. Health education incorporates life skills to individuals that are later passed on to their young ones and this leads to a continuation of a healthy generation. Individual behavior is kept in check with a follow up of health guidelines and helps to prevent premature death among children and youths and enhances a quality living for all people.

A healthy life is cost saving as one is an individual does not incur high cost associated with hospital bills which result when one is sick and needs to seek medical attention. The country also benefits from a healthy population as most of the funds that would be directed towards paying hospital bills are channeled to development projects by the government. Companies also benefit from a healthy nation as they are able to hire a healthy workforce who can work optimum without any interruptions of sick leave and insurance payment for sick employees (Sharon, Plowman & Denise 2008).
Individual attitude and behavior must be as per good morals of the community. People must consume health foods that are essential to their body and the proper function of the body organs. It should be a habit for each person to keep their health in check as much as possible refrain from consumption of health threaten substances like alcohol and drugs. Smoking of cigarettes should be avoided as it interfere with body organs like the lungs and affect the environment through pollution. Expectant mothers are discouraged from smoking as it interferes with the health of the unborn child. Proper health education on the community helps to eradicate some individual vices that do not go to with the morals of the community and the health of all stakeholders (Lebel, 2003).
Culture may determine the health aspect of individuals and the communities at large, as people learn the importance of a health life. Culture and norms of the community dictate the type of living that people follow. An interactive culture that understands the importance of maintaining a health life is vital to the development of the community in general. People should exercise normally as it helps to strength the body and for proper muscle development. A strong body is not only vital but crucial to each individual as their body remains disciplined and functions well. In some communities where bad eating habits are prevalent the health of their kids is put at risk with issues like obesity increasing. Proper eating habits should be encouraged among kids as they most seem to fail in practicing healthy living with a good diet and body exercise. The young generation should be encouraged to take up sports and other outdoor activities like swimming as they will maintain a healthy and strong life (Alters & Schiff, 2011).
