The Effect of Three Elements on Students: Diet, Smoking, and Oral Hygiene
Smoking among students in secondary and intermediate schools is prevalent, and this prevalence is expected to have a negative impact on the health of teeth and oral hygiene (Bassiony, 2009). Students are also engaging in poor dietary health (Al-Rethaiaa, Fahmy & Al-Shwaiyat, 2010) which results in the increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes (Wilmot & Idris, 2014; Cunningham-Myrie, Theall, Yonger et al., 2015). As Davis (2012) has shown, addressing dietary issues and getting people to eat a healthier, more organic diet that is low in fats and sugars can help individuals to improve their health and reduce the risk of the development of heart disease and diabetes.
The purpose of this study would be to obtain data about students who smoke or use tobacco products, their dietary habits, and their teeth and gum care habits. This information could then be used to develop a Special Awareness Health Program for schools so as to raise awareness about the importance of health and safety when it comes to diet, smoking, and oral hygiene. As students are already in an academic environment in which learning is the pathway to knowledge, developing a Special Awareness Health Program for schools based on advancing knowledge of health issues in these areas is a natural fit.
The gathering of data for this study would be through the survey method and surveys could be delivered to schools around the KSA in order to obtain a large sample with a wide ranging demographic in terms of locale. The survey would include questions related to students’ smoking, diet, and oral hygiene and responses would be closed-ended and measured using the Likert-scale with a range of 1-5. These responses could then be used to conduct chi-square tests to determine relationships between variables. This determination would allow health care educators to develop a better understanding of the activities and behaviors that students are engaging in, which would then allow for the appropriate development of a preventive medicine plan via health literacy to be constructed.
In this case the health literacy approach would be in the form of a Special Awareness Health Program that could targeted school students in secondary and intermediate schools within the KSA. Knowing the habits of the students as determined by the analysis…

" The patients in the study had "previously failed to lose weight in multiple medically supervised attempts, and were given a standardized form with instructions on the amylase-free diet (Jancin, 2001)." There was no exercise program provided, as the patients were unable to exercise without extreme difficulty. The results showed that "three-quarters of participants who were compliant with therapy averaged a 4.6% loss in body fat and a 3.1 pound gain

Therefore, I would tell the patient that their symptoms should not be considered in isolation of their whole person. Websites that address symptoms only are not taking into account the wealth of factors that can influence the diagnosis of a specific disease. At the same time, patients have the right to know about alternative solutions other than those provided or suggested by the physician or health care organization. Sometimes insurance

According to Zoller, scholars and/or practitioners proponents of workplace health promotion (WHP) generally assume that employees universally welcome the programs. Perhaps, the primary delimitation that could be contributed to health and wellness programs would be that one of the other would not be wanted by employees. Consequently, health promotion literature that deems the programs to be "pro-social" endeavors designed in employees' best interests frequently fail to engage employees' participation. Additional delimitations

These were categorized into three aspects, which the care provider could control for the benefit of the patients. These were satisfaction with the punctuality of the caregiver; the quality of interaction between the patient and the caregiver; and the overall dependability of health care. Promptness or punctuality with care or service was rated most highly by both groups. Being on time affected their functioning and comfort throughout the day,

Nurses, who have first hand knowledge and understanding of how to live healthy and how to take proper care of themselves, are far better equipped to teach others about these concepts. Certain populations can benefit greatly from prevention, especially those who are prone to specific types of diseases or conditions. One of the most common behaviors that leads to many chronic and often very damaging health conditions is smoking. Smoking
