Lesson 1 BENEFITS FROM ENGAGING IN REGULAR
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/ SPORTS SPECIFIC
WARM-UPS
WEEK 5 DAY 1 ARNIS
This activity module was designed to meet the students’ learning needs and understand
the lesson in Physical Education with relevant concepts aligned with the updated MELCs:

1. Undertake physical activity and physical fitness assessments; Reviews goals

based on assessment results (PE7PF- IIa-h -23, PE7PF- IIa-24)

What’s In
Why Physical Education is necessary for every student?

You can get a lot of benefits if you engage yourself from physical education classes. It helps
you to become more aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. You can also retain higher
level of knowledge because of the overall health. This knowledge can help you make a wise
decision concerning your safety, health, and wellbeing.

Below are some ways in which physical education can help to improve the life of the
students:
• Physical fitness of the student
• Improvement of academic performance
• Social Assimilation
• Reduces the levels of stress
• Helps students focus
• Learn the importance of working out
• Health and Nutrition
• Instill positive behavior

What’s New

Physical Education caters a lot of physical activities like basic exercises and training
guidelines for an optimum result if you are diligent (actively participating). During the First
Quarter of your lesson, you knew very well that exercise is a physical activity that is planned,
structured and repetitive for the purpose of conditioning your body.

Exercise is essential for improving overall health, maintaining fitness, and helping to prevent
the development of obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and avoiding a sedentary
lifestyle (inactive individual or engaging to little exercise or no physical activity at all.) An
inactive way of life and abundance caloric utilization are the essential drivers of this increment
in overweight and weight; so standard exercise and drawing into physical exercises are
viewed as a significant factor in controlling weight.

4
Exercises like walking, jump rope, running, cycling, swimming, Zumba, rock climbing, biking
and many kinds of activities which are high-impact exercises or what we call Aerobic. Aerobic
exercise is a physical exercise of low to high intensity and defined as use of oxygen to
adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolic. Sports like
basketball, soccer, badminton, and tennis may likewise help you with your cardiovascular
wellness.

Less physical activities may contribute to accumulation of fats and calorie that may cause
you to be overweight or what we call obese. Exercises are viewed as a significant factor in
controlling weight and overall fitness, to be able to be effective we must do it with the right
frequency, intensity, kind of exercise and time.

The F.I.T.T. standards are an activity solution to assist an individual with seeing how long
and how hard they should work out.

F.I.T.T is abbreviation that represents Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. F.I.T.T can
be applied to practice overall physical activity.

Frequency: refers to the number of session / practice days in a week. (recurrence / how
often) ex. 3 x a week, 5 x a week
Intensity: degree of effort or force exerted during an exercise. (How hard) ex. low impact,
high impact
Time: duration of time spent for the session or work out. (How long) ex. 30 minutes, an hour
Type: To keep an even wellness plan different kinds of activities such as cardiovascular
training, strength training, and flexibility are designed to target specific parts of the body to
be developed and give variety of workouts that is best suited for the season. (What kind of
exercise?) ex. Cardio *Jog, *Sprints Strength* lifting weights, Flexibility *Stretching

Examples of Static Stretching

Examples of Dynamic Exercises

HEAD UP / HEAD DOWN SIDE BENDS HEAD TWIST SHOULDER ROLL

ARMS & KNEE RAISE SIDE LUNGE ARM PUSH HUG CHEST EXPANSION

ARM CIRCLING TRUNK ROTATION LEG SWING BACKS LEG SIDE SWINGS

What is it
The Importance of Warming Up

Everyone is diverse with regards to work out. A few groups need to hit the path first thing
without a warmup and others take as much time as necessary getting their body warm to get
ready for their exercise. With so many various ways of thinking, it tends to be troublesome
attempting to interpret whether you should fuse a straightforward warmup into your activity
schedule. You may be posing inquiries like would it be a good idea for you to incorporate a
warmup when you're simply going to do household chores at home or only when you will
head to the gym? Is warm up essential, and how can it help the body?

A proper warmup involves some light cardio, like jumping jacks or a brisk walk, and a few
dynamic movements. The cardio will raise your body temperature and get some blood
flowing, and dynamic movements prepare your body specifically for your favorite workout.
Warming up may also help reduce muscle soreness and lessen your risk of injury.

What I Have Learned

How Does a Warmup Help Your Body?

The advantages of heating up before an exercise can give numerous positive results, for
example,

• Expanded blood and oxygen to the muscles that are being used
• Expanded veins to siphon blood simpler
• Less strain on the heart to siphon blood all through the framework
• Expanded internal heat level builds versatility in the muscles
6
 • Expanded muscle temperature which can prompt less muscle injury and strain
• Actuation of cooling techniques so the body will not overheat (perspiring)
• Chemicals are delivered which permit unsaturated fats and sugars to be changed
over into energy

There are a lot of advantages related with adding a light warmup before your activity routine
and you should focus on it to consolidate a light warmup into your activity schedule.
Regardless of whether you're hoping to do a light exercise from the solace of your home or
hoping to fuse some extra schedules in the gym.

So, we should get our bodies going and ready for our forthcoming exercise! Since we know
warming up before an exercise can yield positive results and can prompt more noteworthy
injury counteraction, why not spend a couple of moments to the start of your exercise and
prepare your body for a more strenuous activity.

DUAL SPORTS

WEEK 5 DAY 2
ARNIS
Lesson 1
This activity module was designed to meet the students’ learning needs and
understand the lesson in Physical Education with relevant concepts aligned with the
updated MELCs:

Describes the nature and background of the sport (PE7GS - IId - 5)

What’s In
Individual and Dual Sports

Individual sports are defined as activities in which competing as a part of a team isn’t
required. The athlete is on their own and is the one who’s responsible for bringing home
the win. Although individual sports can be competitive, the athlete is also in competition
with themselves. Compared to individual sports, there aren’t as many dual sports out there
but dual sports can take several different forms. In one form of dual sports, a single athlete
competes against another single athlete; there’s no team, just two athletes against each
other in a one-on-one match. Dual sports can also involve two athletes on the same team
competing with two athletes of the opposite team, known as two on two.

What’s New
The History of Arnis

The History of Arnis dates back before the colonization of the Spaniards, during those
periods it was called Kali and the technique of the art is focused on bladed weapons
fighting. Kali was widely practiced throughout the archipelago; both nobleman and
commoners were enthusiasts and practitioners of the said art. Also during those days Kali
is being taught in a school- like training ground which was called Bothoan along with
military tactics, Alibata (Native Alphabet) and herbal medicines.
7
On the dawn of April 27,1521, the Portuguese navigator and warrior named Ferdinand
Magellan was defeated by a native warrior chief named Lapu-Lapu. This was the
recorded incident in which Kali was used against foreign invaders. Forty years after that
event, in April of 1564 another warrior navigator from Spain named Miguel De Legaspi
landed in Abuyog, Leyte Philippines. He was aware of the unfortunate fate of Magellan so
took a non- hostile approach to avoid battle with the native.

He befriends the warrior chief Malitik. It is at this point he witnessed the deadly fighting
skills of the natives through a demo to entertain them. Afterward he traveled to the nearby
island of Sugbo and met another warrior chief named Tupas. He took a non-hostile
approach again to avoid confrontation. For the second time he witnessed the formidable
fighting techniques of the natives through a demonstration.

Modern Arnis is the system of Filipino fighting arts founded by Remy Presas as a self-
defense system. His goal was to create an injury-free training method as well as an
effective self-defense system to preserve the older Arnis systems.

The term Modern Arnis was used by Remy Presas' younger brother Ernesto Presas to
describe his style of Filipino martial arts; since 1999 Ernesto Presas has called his system
Kombatan. It is derived principally from the traditional Presas family style of the Bolo
(machete) and the stick-dueling art of Balintawak Eskrima, with influences from other
Filipino and Japanese martial arts.

What is it
Arnis is a Filipino Martial Art using a stick, a combative Filipino style using
the cane. Arnis is known with different names like panandata for the tagalog; kalirongan
for Pangasinan; Dadja or kabaraon for Ilocanos; pagkakali – kali for Ibanags; sinawali
for Pampangueños; kaliradman or pagaradman for the Visayans, it is also called
eskrima and kali.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed the Republic Act no. 9850 in 2009. The
said act mandates the Department of Education to include the sport as a Physical
Education course or unit. Arnis is also included among the priority sports in Palarong
Pambansa since 2010.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND
4 TECHNIQUE
WEEK 6 DAY 1-4
MELC: Executes the skills involved in the sport. (PE7GS - Id - h - 4)

What’s In
Fundamental movement skills are basic movements such as throwing,
kicking, running, jumping, hopping and catching. Fundamental sport skills are these
movement skills applied to a sport situation: for example, kicking a soccer ball,
running a sprint, jumping up for a basketball rebound, catching a baseball. In learning
Arnis, you need to acquire first the basic or fundamental skills for you to understand
and enjoy it.

Stance or it can be left foot lead which is Left Foot Back Stance.
• Back stances are used for blocking and backward evasion techniques.

What’s Is It
Collectively, modern-arnis techniques are often referred to as “the art
within the art.” Modern-arnis techniques are based on patterns and theories of
movement instead of static moves and drills. Rather than learning complex forms and
one-step sparring drills for each weapon, students learn the fundamentals of natural
movement and use the same patterns of attack and defense in response to each
direction, type and intensity of attack. This is true regardless of whether they are
holding a sword, dagger, stick or no weapon at all. In addition, modern-arnis
techniques lead into a countless variety of disarms, throws and locks using the
maximum leverage available from whatever weapon is being used.

At the advanced level, patterns in modern-arnis techniques give way to a

continuation of movement. This facet of the art is often referred to as the “flow.”
Flowing refers to the way in which arnis practitioners’ transition effortlessly from one
technique to the next as they sense the movements and attacks of their opponent
and respond automatically and continuously.

 Before the modernization of teaching methods in the Filipino martial arts, there
was no organized curriculum and no concern for the safety of students. In addition,
many of the old Arnis masters had an attitude of reverence for the stick with which
they fought and did not wish to clash it against the opponent's stick. For this reason,
the classical method of blocking in Arnis did not target the weapon but the person
using it. Instead of a block as such, the Arnis master would use a counterstrike to the
hand or arm, sometimes injuring their own students in the process.

In the system known as "Modern Arnis," the block is made against the opponent's
weapon, a change from the method of the classical masters. The techniques are
focused on blocking the attack, grabbing the opponent's stick by hand and then either
taking it away or controlling it. This method of blocking is sometimes criticized,
because it departs from the older attitude that the stick is not a weapon in its own right
but merely a training weapon for the sword.
Filipino arts that use actual swords do not apply hard blocks like those in Modern
Arnis, nor do they attempt to grab the opponent's blade.
Arnis consists of the ten (10) blocking techniques which consist of parrying an
opponent’s strike in defense. Blocking with balance and in the correct stance will
enable one to counter-strike with equal efficacy. You will be learning how to perform
the five (5) basic techniques:
Perform the following blocking technique.

1. Outside blocking- performed by bringing the cane forward supported by the left
hand at the middle of the cane
2. Inside block- performed as an outside block, however, on the right side of the
body
3. Downward inside block- performed by positioning the hand holding the cane
above the right shoulder then swinging the cane downward to block the opponent’s
attack
4. Downward outside block- performed by positioning the cane behind the left
ear then swinging it downward to block the opponent's blow
5. Rising block- performed by raising the cane over the head to block the
opponent's blow.

The term "Sinawali" refers to the activity of ‘weaving’, and is applied to the art of
Philippine martial art Eskrima with reference to a set of two-person, two- weapon
exercises.
Sinawali exercise provides Eskrima practitioners with basic skills and motions
relevant to a mode of two-weapon blocking and response method called Doblete.
Sinawali training is often introduced to novices in order to develop certain
fundamental skills including: body positioning and distance relative to an opponent,
rotation of the body and the proper turning radius, recognition of one’s center of
gravity, eye-hand coordination, target perception and recognition, recognition and
performance of rhythmic structures for upper body movement, and muscular
developments important to the art especially the wrist and forearm regions.

and understand the lesson in Health Education with relevant concepts aligned with
the updated MELC:

1.Identifies the right food during adolescence. ( H7N-lla-20)

What’s In
Do you still remember the “PINGGANG PINOY’?

Pinggang Pinoy is an easy-to-understand food guide

that reminds us of what our meal should look like each day.
A properly balanced meal consists of three basic food groups-
Go foods, Grow foods and Glow foods- accompanied by water
and /or a nutritious beverage like milk

doh.gov.ph

BASIC FOOD GROUPS

1.Go Foods- are also called energy-giving foods.
They contain carbohydrates and fats that give our
bodies the energy we need to meet the demands
of our more active lifestyles.

2.Grow Foods- choose grow foods from different

protein sources that have different kinds of amino
acids and additional nutrients such as vitamins and
minerals. Eating different sources of protein raises
your chances of getting all the amino acids that
your body needs.

3.Glow foods- different colored fruits and vegetables

contain different nutrients, so eating a wide variety
of colors ensures that we are getting a wide range
of nutrients.

 What’s New
What is Food? Nutrition? Nutrients?

FOOD is any substance that is ingested and absorbed in the body in order
to maintain life and growth. These nutrients are found in food to help the body in
growing, repairing cells and giving energy as adolescent undergo various
changes.

NUTRITION refers to the intake of food in relation to the body’s dietary

needs .Good nutrition depends on the combination of food having the required
different nutrients we should take on a daily basis. Excess or deficient intake of
same nutrient may lead to illness.

NUTRIENTS refers to the chemical components of food which our body

utilizes as a source of energy as well as development of muscles and
maintenance of tissues. Adolescents need the right kinds of food to support
growth and changes in their bodies to prevent physical and mental infirmity.

Why is adolescent nutrition important?

The physical changes during adolescence affect the body’s nutritional needs.
For boys, muscle mass increase and girls increase body fats. Your body needs extra
calories and other nutrients as you go through the physical changes.

What’s Is It

Good nutrition is critical during adolescence

to support healthy growth and development.
Teenagers need to choose the right food to meet
howabouteat.com the changing nutritional needs. It should be
composed of the following nutrients:

1.Protein – adolescent needs more protein than

adults. It is needed for growth and repair body
tissue. Enough protein avoids chronic infections
and injury.
Sources of Protein: From animal sources: beef,
Poultry, fish and eggs. thejakarta.post

2. Carbohydrates- main source of energy. An

increase in the physical activities of adolescents
requires more energy food.
Sources of Carbohydrates: bread, potato, pasta,
noodles, corn, rice and other root crops.

 SOURCES OF MINERALS

VITAMINS - needed by the body in order to work properly.

Vitamin A- for healthy eyes found in orange, carrots,

Squash, and broccoli. It is also called retinol. It is necessary
for healthy vision and also helps create strong bones and
teeth, as well as a strong immune system.
Vitamin B – for energy production and iron absorption. It is a group of vitamins
that help the body turn food into energy. They are also needed to make red blood
cells and the genetic materials DNA and RNA.
Vitamin C – for strengthening blood vessels, skin elasticity and anti-oxidant; found
in fruits like orange, grapes, and guava. It is also called ascorbic acid, is necessary
for making collagen, which holds body cells together. It also aids in the healing of
wounds and burns and helps build strong teeth and bones.
Vitamin D – for strong and healthy bones; found in fish, eggs, mushrooms, and
spending a few minutes under the sun can stimulate Vit. D production. It is made by
the body when it is exposed to the sun. The vitamin is also found in certain foods.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb the mineral calcium. It also helps build strong
bones and teeth.
Vitamin E – helps maintain healthy red blood cells and muscle tissue.

4.Calcium- bones grow rapidly during adolescence. Right amount of calcium is

recommended to build strong bones and fight bone loss later in life.
Sources of Calcium are milk, cheese and other dairy foods, soya beans, tofu and
nuts.

5.Water- helps keep our temperature normal. It also helps digest your food and get
rid of wastes in your body.

What I Have Learned

Nutrition is the nourishment or energy obtained from food consumed or

it is the process of consuming the proper amount of nourishment and
energy.
Nutrition deals with the food choices that promote growth,
development and reduce the risk of illness or disease.
Nutrients refer to the chemical component of food which our body utilizes
as source of energy as well as for development of muscles and
maintenance of tissues.
Food is any substance that is ingested and absorbed in the body in order
to maintain life and growth.
Nutritional needs of adolescents are:
o Protein for growth and repair of tissues
o Carbohydrates as main source of energy
o Minerals that help in regulating the chemical reactions in the body
∙ Sources of minerals are:
o Vitamin A for healthy eyes
o Vitamin B for iron absorption
o Vitamin C for strengthening blood vessels
o Vitamin D for strong and healthy bones
o Calcium for building strong bones and fight bone loss.
o Water for digestion and for keeping the body temperature normal.

NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES
2 FOR ADOLESCENCE
WEEK 7 DAY 2 & 3
MELC: Follows the appropriate nutritional guidelines for adolescence for healthful
Eating. (H7N-LLb-c-21)

What’s In
Previous lesson discussed was about the right food to eat during
adolescence. Complete the table below and. Write your answer in a
separate sheet of paper.

Nutrients Source Purpose

What’s New

Dietary habits and food preferences which affect

energy consumption and nutrient intake are generally
developed over a period of time and particularly during
adolescence. This puts adolescents in a group
susceptible to external influences, particularly from the
media , school and their peers.
parenting.firstcry.com

Balanced Diet is choosing a variety of healthy and nutritious food from

all the food group needed by the body in the food guide pyramid. A good dietary
and nutritional guidelines has three important elements:
➢ Food Guide Pyramid- is a recognizable nutrition tool. It looks like
a pyramid to suggest that the adolescence should eat more foods
from the bottom of the pyramid and fewer foods and beverages
from the top of the pyramid.
➢ Food Plate- the plate features four sections- vegetables, fruits,
grains, and protein- plus a side order of dairy in blue. The big
message is that fruits and vegetables take up half the plate,
grains and protein take up about one-quarter of the plate. The
divided plate also helps keep portion sizes in check.
➢ Real food- good nutrition affects not just the health but also the
well-being of an individual. And one must be knowledgeable and
aware about the amount of food he/she should eat. These are the
same one- day food menu or :Pinggang Pinoy”

21
 What’s Is It
A. Nutritional Guidelines for Healthful Eating

1. Eat variety of foods regularly

Eating a variety of foods everyday provides nutrients you need for growth. It helps
you to stay strong and healthy. It also gives energy you need to keep active
throughout the day.
2. Eat more vegetables and fruits
Micronutrients deficiencies can be corrected through the consumption of vegetables
and fruits. They contain important vitamins and minerals that are good for your health.
3. Eat clean and safe foods
It is always important that the food we eat is clean and safe so it is essential to prepare
our meals in safe and hygienic way to avoid harmful organism and parasites to get
into our foods that may lead to food poisoning.
4.Eat a proper diet
Proper and adequate diet promotes good health and enhances normal growth. A well-
nourished individual is most likely to be healthy, strong and alert.
5. Consume fish, lean meat, poultry, eggs and dried beans.
The food from this food group are considered rich in protein which is good for growth
and repair of body tissues. Particularly, they are good source of iron, and zinc which
are essentially important for adolescent girls (menstruating women)
6. Breastfeeding from birth to six months
It supplies all the necessary nutrients. It protects against allergies, sickness and
obesity.
7. Drink milk , milk product and other calcium-rich foods.
An adequate amount of calcium can help prevent osteoporosis. More calcium in your
diet makes your bone and teeth healthy.
8. Sufficient intake of foods with iodized salt
The regular used of iodized salt and iodine-rich foods greatly help in the
prevention of goiter and other iodine deficiency disorder.
9. Be physically active and have a healthy lifestyle.
Healthy diet, regular exercise, abstinence from smoking ,and moderate alcohol

B .Food Pyramid Guide

The Food Guide Pyramid is a diagram which shows the
different food groups and the number of recommended
servings needed in order to meet our bodies’ needs.
Classes of Food

1. Beverages - People drink an average of two liters of

liquid in a day. Water and fresh fruit juice are the healthier
alternatives because they contain no harmful ingredients
and they are good sources of vitamins and minerals.
2. Rice/Cereal products - Rice is the staple food of
Filipinos. It is rich in Vitamin E. Other cereals like oats
is consumed with milk.
*Starchy roots - Cassava (kamote), potato, yam
(ube) are just a few other source of energy. Their
nutritive value is almost similar with cereals but lower
in protein.

22
 3. Fruits and Vegetables - Rich in vitamins, minerals and cellulose which is
good for digestion.
4. Milk and Milk products - Good source of calcium for bone development.
5. Meat, Fish and Eggs - Contain protein and other minerals, however, egg yolk is
high in cholesterol content which is not good for our health.
6. Sugar, Sweets/Preserves - Sugar is a source of energy. High sugar intake is
harmful to us.
7. Fats and oils - It may be in the form of butter, oil or from animal sources like
meat. They must be consumed in minimal amounts only. Healthier option are olive
oil and palm oil.

What I Have Learned

You are what you eat! How you feel and how much energy you use to be
active have a lot to do with what you eat.

Good nutrition is very important in enhancing your quality of life and

in preventing diseases. It means eating the right amount of healthful
foods and not skipping meals. It provides you with the needed calories
and nutrients for your maximum energy and wellness.

Nutritional Guidelines are simple rules and recommendation on

practical nutrition that will motivate people to enjoy and combine a
sufficient and well-balanced diet together with a healthy lifestyle.

Lesson
MALNUTRITION AND
3 MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

WEEK 7 DAY 4
MELC: Describes the characteristics, signs and symptoms of malnutrition and
micronutrient deficiencies. (H7N-IId-f-23)

What’s In

What is Malnutrition?
It is characterized by a condition in which an individual’s nutrient is
inadequate or unbalanced. Even if people get enough to eat, they will
become malnourished if the food they eat does not provide proper
amount of micronutrients- vitamins and minerals- to meet daily
nutritional requirements.

Malnutrition can affect people of all ages but mostly babies, children
and teenagers are the ones affected since these nutrients are very
important in their optimum growth and development.

23
 What’s New
Causes of Malnutrition
- Poor food choices - Infections
- Psychosocial deprivation - Inadequate food intake
- Not having enough money to buy food
- Difficulty in eating, little available food
dreamstime.com - Insanitary environment as well as lack of hygiene, social
inequality, and possibly some genetic contribution.

Signs and Symptoms of Malnutrition

-Depression -Difficulty breathing
-Longer healing time for wounds - Learning difficulties
depositphoto.com -Always feeling cold -Tiredness and irritability
- An inability to concentrate
- A lack of appetite or interest in food or drink
-Loss of fat, muscle mass, and body tissue
-A higher risk of getting sick and taking longer to heal

What’s Is It
According to World Health Organization (WHO) the following are the:

Types of Malnutrition
1. Undernutrition
This happens when a person gets too little food or does not get enough food. When a
person does not have enough food, the body does not get the proper nutrients it
needs to be healthy.
Classifications of Undernutrition:
a. Stunting – the height of a person is low for his/her age. He/she is too short for his/her
age.
b. Wasting – occurs when a person’s weight is low for his/her height. He/she is too thin for
his/her height.
c. Underweight – have low weight-for- age characterized by either being wasted or
stunted or both.

2. Overweight and Obesity

These happen when a person becomes too heavy for his/her height. Excessive fat
accumulates in the body due to eating too much energy-dense food and drinks that
are high in sugar and fats and having less physical activities.
3. Micronutrient Deficiencies
Inadequate intake of micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals needed for growth
and development.
24
 Common Micronutrient Deficiencies:

a. Vitamin A Deficiency – Vitamin A is an essential vitamin in keeping skin, bones and

teeth healthy and produces eye pigments that are needed for our vision. Permanent
damage in vision and even blindness can be the result of Vitamin A deficiency.
Symptoms: Skin becomes dry, dry eyes (inability of eyes to produce tears), night
blindness, delay in growth, infections, poor healing of wounds, pimples and acne

b. Calcium Deficiency – Calcium is important for our body especially when it comes to
maintenance of bones. Deficiency in calcium may cause osteoporosis where bones
become softer and fragile.
Symptoms: Lack of energy, feeling extremely tired, dry and itchy skin, brittle nails,
osteoporosis, tooth decay and other dental problems

c. Vitamin C Deficiency – Vitamin C is needed by the body for healthy bones and blood
vessels. It is an antioxidant, helps in iron absorption and in the healing wounds. If a person
is deficient of vitamin C, he/she may suffer from scurvy, gum diseases, skin problems and
poor healing wound.
Symptoms: Bruise easily, muscle and joint pains, swollen and bleeding gums,
feeling tired and weak, poor healing wounds, dry skin, nose bleeding

d. Iron Deficiency – Iron is a part of the hemoglobin in our red blood cells which carry
oxygen all over our body. A person may suffer from iron deficiency anemia a condition
where red blood cell count is less than normal when he/she lacks iron.
Symptoms: Tiredness, skin and inside of lower eyelids are pale, shortness of
breath due to low oxygen level, feeling dizzy, headache, palpitation of heart, dry and
damaged skin and hair

e. Iodine Deficiency – Iodine is a mineral needed for normal functioning of the thyroid
responsible for the production of thyroid hormones needed for growth, brain development
and maintenance of bones. Iodine deficiency results to goiter where the thyroid becomes
enlarged,
Symptoms: Slow metabolism leading to weight gain, feeling tired and weak, hair
loss, dry skin, heart rate becomes slow, neck is swollen because of the goiter

What I Have Learned

1. Malnutrition is the lack, excess or imbalance of important nutrients needed by

the body to be healthy.
2. Classifications of malnutrition are undernutrition overweight/obesity and
micronutrient deficiencies.
3. Undernutrition refers to being wasted, stunted or underweight.
4. Micronutrient deficiencies refer to inadequate intake of micronutrients such as
vitamins and minerals needed for growth and development.
5. Each micronutrient deficiencies has their own signs and symptoms and
effect in the boy.

consequences to your health if you continue eating unhealthy food or skipping meals. Think
about what would happen to you if you keep neglecting your health just because you have
a poor body image. Keeping yourself healthy and free from any nutritional problems and
eating disorders depends on your choices, your decision about your health and the way you
look at yourself.

Body Image is described as the mental picture that we have
