Your health is affected by the way that you live your life. There are certain behaviours and
actions
which reduce your body’s ability to function and can lead to injury or illness, as well as
positive lifestyle choices which improve your health.

In the table below list as many ways as you can in which a person’s lifestyle can influence
their health:

Positive influences Negative influences


• Good diet • Smoking

Pick one positive and one negative influence and explain how each can affect someone’s
health.

e.g. Smoking is a negative influence as smoking can damage your ability to breath so it will
become harder for you to take part in exercise due to the fact you will tire more quickly.
By leading a healthy lifestyle and taking part in regular physical activity, individuals are likely
to experience a number of physical, psychological and social benefits.

Identify from the list given below whether each point benefits your physical, social or mental
health.
