46. DEALING WITH HEALTH
CONCERNS

47. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the student should be
able to:
1. identify health concerns during puberty
2. apply coping skills in dealing with some health
concerns during puberty

48. CONTENT:
Management of health concerns during puberty
- Body odor
- Lack of sleep
- Posture problems
- Poor eating habits
- Lack of physical activity
- Dental problems (dental caries, halitosis, periodontal disease
such as gingivitis)

49. POSTURE PROBLEM
Teenagers usually carry heavy backpacks and
spend more time in front of the computer.
If the backpack is too heavy and carried
improperly, it can cause strain on the spine. Too
much time spent on the computer with shoulders
hunched and the head forward also affects
posture.

50. BODY ODOR
Body odor is an unpleasant smell in our
body that gives off when bacteria that live
on the skin break down sweat into acid.
Body odor is common among
adolescents because of their overactive
sweat glands. Those who may also be
susceptible to body odor, sweat
too much

51. BODY ODOR
Sweat itself is practically odorless to
humans but it is the very fast multiplication
of bacteria in the presence of sweat and
what they do that eventually cause the
unpleasant smell.
Body odor usually occurs in the armpits, feet,
groin genitals, pubic and other hair, belly
button, anus, behind the ears, and to some
extent, on the rest of the skin.

52. SOME WAYS TO PREVENT/LESSEN
BODY ODOR ARE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Maintain clean armpits by washing them regularly and
using anti-bacterial soap.
2. Daily washing or bathing with warm water helps kill
bacteria on the skin. Deodorant keeps the skin from
giving off a bad smell.
3. Aside from wearing clean clothes, use natural-made
fibers, such as silk or cotton for clothing.
4. Lessen the consumption of spicy foods, such as curry,
garlic and others because these foods make the sweat
more pungent.

53. DENTAL PROBLEMS
Tooth decay or dental caries or dental cavities
are common problems among adolescents.
Bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack
the enamel of the tooth until a cavity is formed.
Adolescents should form the habit of brushing
their teeth using toothpaste with fluoride after
every meal and flossing their teeth at least twice a
day.

54. When adolescents wear braces, they
have to take certain precautions in
order to avoid any more oral health
complications
The most important precautionary
measure is to brush the teeth regularly
after every meal.
