One thing I learned in the health promotion lecture today was about health literacy, and how many people it effects. I think that this is something that gets very easily overlooked by health professionals because they don't want to take the time to check with the patient to make sure they understand everything. After watching the video in class, it made me realize how important health literacy is with your patients, and how dangerous it actually can be if a patient doesn't understand their health condition. Another thing that I learned in class today was that there are so many things that contribute to your overall health, things that we don't even think about. Your education, peace and safety in your environment, and your social justice are all things that I didn't realize play so much into whether or not your healthy.
