Health Education is the process of providing individuals and communities with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions about their health. It involves teaching about various health topics, including nutrition, physical activity, mental health, disease prevention, substance abuse, and sexual health. The goal of health education is to empower people to take charge of their health and well-being, understand the implications of their choices, and adopt healthy behaviors. This can occur in various settings, such as schools, community organizations, healthcare institutions, and public health campaigns.
