 CHAPTER 1. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

A. Topics:
 Holistic Health and Health Dimensions
 Stages of Growth and Development
 Changes in the Health Dimensions During Adolescence

“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot fight, wealth becomes useless,
and intelligence cannot be applied”- Herophilus
Am I healthy or unhealthy? Why is it important to be healthy and well? These are just some of
the questions that we can ask ourselves if we talk about health. At your age, have you noticed some
changes in your body? What do you feel as you look at yourself in the mirror?
In this chapter, you would find out the importance of health and wellness to oneself. In addition,
you will understand that changes in the different stages of a human being are just normal: from infant to
toddler, pre-schooler to grade schooler, and adolescence to adulthood.

 INSTRUCTION:

1. Read and understand the concepts in this module.
2. You are given an activity after each chapter on a separate paper; follow the instructions in the
given activities diligently.
3. Answer all the given activities and summative test.

3|Page
  Explains the dimensions of holistic health (physical, mental/ intellectual, emotional, social, and
moral-spiritual)
 Analyses the interplay among the health dimensions in developing holistic health
 Recognizes that changes in different dimensions are normal during adolescence.

 CONCEPT DISCUSSION:

HEALTH- a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity.
WELLNESS- the quality of life that includes physical, mental, emotional, family-social, and spiritual
health.
- A healthy balance of the mind, body, and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being or as
“an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a more successful existence.”

6 DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH
1. Physical Health- it serves as the foundation in achieving wellness in other dimensions of health. The
characteristics of your body size and shapes, sensory alertness, and susceptibility to disease and
disorders, determine the ability of an individual to recover.
2. Emotional Health- the ability of a person to accept his/ her own feelings and that of others. One’s
emotion affects other dimensions of health and even that of decision-making. A good emotional
health involves being able to work, study, love and be loved, and enjoy activities, which
characterizes our being.
3. Social Health- one’s ability to relate with, build and maintain harmonious relationship with his or her
family and community. Being socially accepted boosts one’s self- image and well-being.
4. Mental Health- the ability to analyse, reason, create, and make rational decisions. This includes
determination of continuous personal growth, willingness to effectively learn and use new
information for personal, family and career growth.
5. Spiritual Health- one’s faith, beliefs and values. Being spiritually healthy seeks for the meaning and
purpose of life. It is about looking within oneself and deeply understanding one’s existence and
faith.
STAGES OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Growth- the measurable physical changes that occurs thought out a person’s life (height, weight, body
shape, dental structure/teeth)
Development- refers to the changes in intellectual, mental, and emotional skills that occur over time
(maturation)
Infancy (0-1 yrs. old) - during this stage babies triple their weight
INFANCY Toddler (1-3 yrs. old) -the growth slows down but body still gains in mass and length
Childhood (4-5 yrs. old) -rapid growth is still occurring
CHILDHOOD Mid- Childhood (6-10 yrs. -in this stage, there is a stabilizing period in which a uniform
old) relationship between bone and tissue growth and development
occurs.
Puberty (10-15 yrs. old) -puberty occurs when pituitary gland secretes hormones that
cause the sex organs to develop and occurs slightly earlier in
PUBERTY females.
Adolescence (11-18 yrs. -during this stage, the body adjust to rapid changes
old) experienced in puberty and this is the time of major
psychological changes.
Adulthood (18- up) -by this time, most of the bodies’ growth has taken place and
ADULTHOO many more changes will occur as adults continue to age which
D are mainly caused by external factors.

CHANGES DURING PUBERTY

4|Page
 PUBERTY- the start of adolescence, which brings physical and emotional changes. Girls undergo this
stage between ages 9 and 14 while boys go through it when they are 10 to 17 years of age.
Puberty is a period of stress both physically and emotionally.
PRIMARY SEX CHARACTERISTICS- changes directly related to sexual reproduction. The
reproductive organs of both boys and girls grow and develop. The boys experience their first
release of seminal fluid or ejaculation. The girls experience the first release of blood and fluid
called menstruation.

During This Period, Secondary Sex Characteristics Begin Developing.

PHYSICAL FEMALE - breasts develop, height increases with an average of 3.5 inches, weight
increases due to fat development, hips and waist become more defined, menstruation
cycle starts, hair grows on the underarm and pubic area, fat tissues normally increases,
vocal cords get thicker and longer, acnes may develop, maturity in reproductive system

MALE- height increases with an average of 4.1 inches, weight increases due to
increased muscle development, growth of body hair in pubic area, underarms, face, and
more on legs, vocal cords get thicker, longer and voice deepens, acnes can develop,
reproductive system begins to work, the adams’ apple becomes bigger, the shoulders
become wider than the hips.
MENTAL As adolescents mature, they learn to look beyond themselves and understand others’
point of view. Many would develop new interests and begin to focus on career goals.
EMOTIONAL Many adolescents feel awkward during this stage of their life. They feel more sensitive
about many things including what others will say about them. They are very conscious
about what they consider as their “defects”.
SOCIAL The adolescent starts to identify herself/ himself to a group. Having friends’ means that
they are accepted and they belong. They do things to please others and be popular. For
them, peer group acceptance and being popular are primary concerns. They may not
want to be seen with their parents in public.
MORAL- Adolescents consistently struggle between what they know they should be doing and
SPIRITUAL what they actually do. They struggle because they want to be mature yet so often fail.

MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH CONCERNS DURING ADOLESCENTS

PROBLEMS
AND HEALTH TIPS TO MANAGE
CONCERNS
Poor eating Eat a variety of food, balance the food you eat with physical activity, choose a diet with
habits plenty of grain products, vegetable, and fruit, moderate in sugar and salt, low in fat, saturated
fat, cholesterol.
Lack of sleep Sleep for 8- 10 hours every night. Your body fights infection, repairs cells, and grows during
sleep.
Lack of physical It is best to be aware not to be seated for a prolonged period of time. Stretching is advised
activities once in a while. Follow the Filipino Pyramid Activity Guide.
Body odor Shower or bathe regularly, especially after playing sports or sweating a lot, like on a hot day.
You can also use deodorant under your arms.
Dental Problems Avoid sweet snacks that stick to your teeth, choose food and beverages with vitamins and
minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and calcium, brush and floss your teeth every after
meals, visit your dentist every six months for a dental check-up.
Postural problem Follow an imaginary line that passes the neck, shoulder, lower back, pelvis and hip, knee and
ankle joints when standing and walking. On a sitting position, the hips and the back of thighs
support the body weight. Use a chair with lower back support, which helps keep a good
posture.

 B. Topic:
 Health Appraisal

How healthy are you? This question goes with the saying “Health is wealth”. The health condition of a

 Applies coping skills in dealing with health concerns during adolescence

 CONCEPT DISCUSSION:

HEALTH APPRAISAL- a series of procedure to assess or determine the health status of the students.
These include the use of teacher’s observation, screening tests, health histories or medical records,
medical and dental inspections, and psychological tests.

7|Page
1. Height and weight- it is during adolescence stage that an individual
gains half of its ideal body weight. We need to measure our
height and weight because these measurements are helpful in
determining if normal physiological growth patterns are occurring.

2. Vision screening- the Snellen chart is the commonly used,

the least expensive and the easiest to perform and a
remarkably high degree of success in identifying students
having vision problems using this procedure.
 Hyperopia (farsightedness) - this occurs when light
focuses behind the retina, thus making it difficult to
see close objects clearly.
 Myopia (near sightedness) - this occurs when light
focuses in front of the retina, thus making it difficult
to see distant objects clearly.
 Astigmatism- this is a distorted vision resulting from
an irregularly curved cornea, the clear covering of the eyeball.
 Presbyopia- this difficulty in reading or seeing at arm’s
length is linked to ageing and occurs universally.
 These conditions are diagnosed through an eye examination or vision test, and can be
corrected by wearing prescription glasses and can be treated by undergoing a refractive
surgery.

3. Hearing Screening- the child who has even minor hearing

problems can develop speech problems. Hearing screening
is performed with pure-tone audiometer, which is the most
reliable procedure for detection of hearing loss.

4. Screening for scoliosis- girls have more chances of acquiring it than boys and can get it genetically. Some
indications are having disproportionate shoulders and hips. Early detection and intervention may avert
scoliosis from developing into impeding comfortable movements or activities.

 CHAPTER 2. NUTRITION

A. Topics:
 Introduction to Nutrition
 Nutritional Guidelines for Adolescents
 Malnutrition and Micronutrients Deficiencies
 Eating Disorders

A unique Filipino way of showing their hospitality towards guests and friends is to ask them
“Kumain ka na?” which means “Have you eaten?” Part of the Filipino culture is to celebrate feast days
and other family occasions. They try new dishes and improve the old ones, mixing whatever ingredients
could tickle one’s taste buds. Filipinos from the different regions nationwide have their own unique and
interesting stories about tier eating habits. However, are the practices healthy or otherwise? As Julie
Murphy said, “You are what you eat. What would YOU like to be?”
In this chapter, you will learn how important nutrition is in our body. Furthermore, you will find
out ways on how to prevent or control malnutrition and micronutrients deficiencies.

 CONCEPT:

Nutrition- the intake of food in relation to the body’s dietary needs. Excess or deficient intake of same
nutrient may lead to illness.
 The physical changes during adolescence affect the body’s nutritional needs. Nutritional health during
adolescence is important to support the growth of your body and to prevent future health problems.

NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR ADOLESCENTS

1. Calcium- adolescence is a crucial period for bone development. Calcium is needed to reach the largest
amount of bone tissue or what we call peak bone mass. A balanced diet including the right
amount of calcium delays or limits the chances of having osteoporosis in later life. Adolescents
have a requirement of 100mg of calcium per day
2. Iron. Girls in the onset of menstrual cycle required increase iron intake. For 13-15 years of age,
recommended iron need for boys is 20 mg/day while girls need 21 mg/day.
3. Protein- Adolescents from 13-15 years of age needs 71 grams/day for boys and 63 grams/day for girls
4. Energy- during adolescence, boys need more energy foods for increase physical activities compared
to girls. Energy needs of adolescents from 13-15 years of age are 2,800 kilocalories for 50 kg
boys while 2,250 kilocalories for 49 kg girls.

NUTRITIONAL GUIDE PYRAMID

I.

NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR FILIPINOS

 1. Eat a variety of foods every day.
2. Breastfeed infants exclusively from birth to six months, and then, give appropriate foods while
continuing breastfeeding.
3. Maintain children’s normal growth through proper diet and monitor their growth regularly.

8. Use iodized salt, but avoid excessive intake of salty foods.
9. Eat clean and safe foods.
10. For a healthful lifestyle and good nutrition, exercise regularly, do not smoke, and avoid drinking
alcoholic beverages.

MALNUTRITION AND MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

 MALNUTRITION- a condition in which an individual’s nutrient is inadequate or unbalanced.

o Protein-energy malnutrition- a form of malnutrition where there is not enough protein-
calorie intakes.
o Underweight- a weight that is below desirable body weight
o Overweight a weight that is higher than desirable body weight.

Negative Effects of Malnutrition among Adolescents

1. Delay in growth and development
2. Poor performance in school
3. being sluggish and gets tired easily
4. Delay in the development of secondary sexual characteristics
5. Poor nutrition in adulthood

 NUTRIENTS- important food substances that help our body function properly.
 Macronutrients- required by the body in large amounts
o Water, carbohydrates, fats and proteins
 Micronutrients- only needed in very little amounts.
o Vitamins and minerals
 Micronutrient Deficiency- the lack or shortage in recommended amount or intake of vitamins
and minerals. Deficiency of nutrients leads to different health problems such as anemia,
preventable blindness, osteoporosis and goiter.

WAYS TO PREVENT MALNUTRITION AND MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

1. Food-based strategies
a. Fortification- the process of adding vitamins and minerals to regularly consumed food.
b. Dietary approaches- sustainable methods, which involves tackling social, environmental, and
cultural aspects. Promotion of breastfeeding and adequate complementary feeding is essential.
c. Dietary Supplement- a product that contains vitamins and minerals intended to add nutritional values
to the diet.
2. Public Health Approaches- education, disease control, socioeconomics and environmental aspects.

 EATING DISORDER- an abnormal eating habit, which results to insufficient or excessive food intake.
- Having a healthy body weight is very desirable, but for some people, social pressure to get
thin or be muscular may lead to negative body image and an unhealthy relation with food.

TYPES OF EATING DISORDERS

1. Anorexia Nervosa- characterized by weight loss often

due to excessive dieting and exercise, sometimes
to the point of starvation. People with anorexia
feel they can never be thin enough and continue
to see themselves as “fat” despite extreme weight loss.

2. Bulimia Nervosa- the condition is marked by cycles of extreme

overeating followed by purging, such as self- induced
vomiting, to compensate for the overeating.

13 | P a g e
 3. Binge-eating Disorder- compulsive overeating in which a person
eats huge amounts of food without control. It typically lasts
around two hours. Usually done by depressed, stressed, or
nervous people instead of expressing their feeling.

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF EATING DISORDER

Chronic dieting despite being hazardously underweight.

Constant weight fluctuations
Obsession with calories and fat contents of food
Engaging in ritualistic eating patterns, such as cutting food into tiny pieces, eating alone, and/ or
hiding food.
 Continued fixation with food, recipes or cooking; the individual may cook intricate meals for others
but refrain from partaking.
 Depression or lethargic stage
 Avoidance of social functions, family and friends. May become isolated and withdrawn.
 Switching between periods of overeating and fasting.
WAYS ON HOW TO HELP A PERSON WITH EATING DISORDER

 Familiarize yourself about eating disorders by knowing facts against myths. Use facts to reason with
your friend about any inaccurate ideas fuelling their eating habits.
 Be honest. Responsibly and truthfully talk about worries with people having struggles with eating or
problems with appearance of their body.
 Be caring but firm. Being manipulated by your friend should not happen when you care for them. Do not
make rules, promises, or expectations that you are not willing to follow.
 Compliment. Give admiring comments on your friend’s achievements or great personality. It is worth
noting that “true beauty” is not skin deep.
 Be a good role model. Be an example of sensible eating, exercise, and self-acceptance.
 People struggling with eating disorders need professional help. Steps towards improvement happen
through communicating honest share concerns, giving support and identifying sources of information
and proper assistance.

2. Distress (negative stress) - often causes poor performance.

CAUSES OF STRESS
Stressor- - it is an event or situation that causes stressful situations.
1. Major life changes. These stressful changes threaten one’s sense of security and self-esteem.
Example: loss of a love one, loss of job
2. Everyday problems. The minor but frequent, everyday events that cause stress are sometimes
called “hassles”. These stressors can be losing something, concerns of how you look, what to

affects daily life and brings discomfort to you and those who care about you.
 GRIEF- an intense emotion from a loss, disaster or misfortune.
1. Low- grief death- a death cause by prolonged sickness or anticipated death showing little emotion
after death due to experienced grief prior to death.
2. High- grief death- unexpected death where grieving process may be more emotional and longer
because no preparation for death was done.

FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF

1. Denial- in this stage, the individual is protected from experiencing the intensity of the loss. When
you first learn of a loss, its normal to think, “ This isn’t happening.” This is a temporary way to
deal with the rush of overwhelming emotion. It’s a defense mechanism.
2. Anger- in this stage, the individual usually feels helpless and powerless. The person often directs his
or her anger on the doctor who cared for the lost loved one or directed at loved ones and
expressed through shouting, complaining, and bitterness. You will ask, “Why is this happening?
Who is to blame?”
3. Bargaining- In this stage, the individual usually becomes obsessed with thoughts of what could have

21 | P a g e
 been done to prevent the loss. It seems that you will do anything if only your loved one would be
spared. You may try to strike a deal, “Make this not happen, and in return I will ______.” Or I
will never be angry at my dad again if you’ll just let him live.”
4. Depression- the individual starts to realize the extent and effect of the loss. This is not a sign of
mental illness; it is the appropriate response to a great loss. Signs of depression include crying,
sleep issues, poor appetite and lack of interest. The individual feels abandoned, isolated,
experiences self-pity, emptiness and lost. You may say, “I’m too sad to do anything.”
5. Acceptance- this stage is about accepting the reality that our loved one is physically gone and
recognizing that this new reality is the permanent reality. You can say, “I’m at peace with what
happened.”

COPING WITH LOSS

1. Give yourself time. Accept your feelings and know that grieving is a process.
2. Talk to others. Spend time with friends and family. Don’t isolate yourself.
3. Take care of yourself. Exercise regularly, eat well, and get enough sleep to stay healthy and
energized.
4. Return to your hobbies. Get back to the activities that bring you joy.
5. Join a support group. Speak with others who are also grieving. It can help you feel more
connected.

 MENTAL DISORDER- an emotional disturbance, which affects the way an individual thinks, feels and
behaves making it difficult to live a normal life.

TYPES:
1. Organic mental disorder- due to physical injuries and illnesses affecting the brain.
2. Functional mental disorder- due to environmental conditions or poor coping skills.

CAUSES:

1. Life situations and experiences- these include insecurities in early life like broken homes, loss
of loved ones, marital problems, financial difficulties, unemployment and others.
2. Physical conditions- these includes fever, intoxication from alcohol or drugs, trauma like head
injuries, senility, and disturbance of the endocrine glands.

3. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE- a disease of the heart and blood vessels. This disease is the leading
cause of mortality in the Philippines. This includes:

A. Coronary Heart Disease- occurs when coronary

arteries are narrowed or blocked by waxy
substance referred to as plaque. Major risks
factors for coronary heart disease are smoking,
diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, age, obesity

stroke is blood clot in an artery of the brain, which causes aneurysm, a wreaked part of
the blood vessels.

SIGNS OF STROKE
FACE DROOPING- does the face sag on one side or numb? Ask the person to smile and
examine if the smile is uneven.
ARM WEAKNESS- ask the person to lift both arms. Can the person keep arms lift up?
SPEECH DIFFICULTY- is the person’s speech slurred? Do you understand what the

parts.
 MALIGNANT- it is cancerous. It can spread infection and destruction of nearby tissues
and other body parts.

WAYS TO TREAT CANCER

1. Radiation Therapy- uses high-energy radiation to kill or damage cancer cells.
