Personal Health (K- 4) * Safety and security are basic needs of humans. * Individuals have some responsibility for their own health. Students should engage in personal care - dental hygiene, cleanliness, and exercise - that will maintain and improve health. * Nutrition is essential to health. Students should understand how the body uses food. Recommendations include eating a variety of foods, eating less sugar, and eating less fat. * Different substances can damage the body and how it functions. Such substances include tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs. (NSES, 1996)
