SDG 3 Action: Conduct a survey on living habit
The below conclusions
are based on the responses of the 10 survey results attached above. The
age group of the respondents resemble around 12-14 years old.
Physical health:
- Most people eat three meals regularly with a balanced diet to a certain
degree
- Majority use electronic devices for a long period of time and rarely
exercise.
- Many sleep somewhat regularly
Mental health:
- Majority of the responses stated that they get nervous
and angry easily.
- A large part of respondents stated that they often feel depressed and
inferior to others
- Great number of respondents stated that they seldom see the negative in or
lose interest in things
Overall:
- Generally, respondents seldom satisfy with their current life
- All of the respondents wish to improve some of their living habits
According to the above report, it can be concluded that most respondents
have poor mental health and lack attention towards it. In accordance with
the results in the physical health of respondents, it is relatively better
compared to the results of the mental health section. To sum up, respondents of
the survey should take care of their physical health as well as their
mental health for better development and growth.
Suggestions for improving your physical and mental health
After seeing the results
of the respondents towards the survey, I am actually shockingly surprised by
how poor their mental health is. Many people have this misconception of
“physical health is more important than mental health therefore mental
health does not matter”. The truth is, they are equally important.
Therefore, I came up with a few suggestions for improving physical and mental
health. Firstly, communication. Communication is crucial to a good mental
health due to human interaction which is vital to a more balanced
lifestyle. Secondly, figuring out your hobbies. Hobbies may not be sport
or something active; even if it is a passive activity, it can also be good for
your physical health. Thirdly, trying new things. New things are ways for
our human body to learn to adapt to something different, which helps us develop
good physical and mental health.
