This is leading to more disease such as coronary heart disease and liver disease and it is can lead to obesity but it also this can be affected by which area of the United Kingdom the person lives in either it be nationally or internationally .

Eductation –

Poor education can a number of effects on a person’s health. The first reason is that if children are not educated properly they might not understand that some foods are unhealthier then say other foods. Another reason is that that due to poor education a person may not have a poorly paid job and due to this they cannot afford to buy healthier food and to lead a active and healthy lifestyle which can affect them by which area we live in and the school we attend such as a person from a private school is much more likely to get a job enter training or go to college after they have left school where a person from a public school is more likely to live on the “dole” then someone from a private school. Also more school are holding sex education lesson to try to make teens aware of the danger of unprotected sex and the pregnancy is growing in number each year as more and more teenaged girl a getting pregnant but a girl from a middle class background is less likely to get pregnant in her teens then a girl from a working class background. Also that is possible to catch is not only STI’S and STD’s by having unprotected sex. The government has brought in a lot more teaching in school and in some school the sex education lessons are compulsory and must be attended unless the pupil’s parents opt for them not to attend that particular lesson.
