Background Information for Learners

Consumer health aims to develop a person’s ability to evaluate and utilize health
information, products, and services wisely and effectively. All of us are consumers. We

Health information is an idea that we hear from people around us, read from the books

Health products are items that we consume to improve our well being, like medicine,
food, clothes, furniture, electronics, etc.
Health services are programs we avail from various providers such as physicians,
nurses, therapists, health workers, hospitals, clinics, and the government. Examples of health
services are insurance, treatment, and cure complementary and alternative medicines.

1. Don’t sleep with wet hair. Old folks believe that sleeping with wet hair will damage your
eyesight.
2. Don’t eat sweets when you have your period. Old folk think that eating sweets will stop the
natural flow of blood during your cycle. All of that blood should be removed from your system,
so ladies during their period are not allowed to eat sweets, especially chocolates.
3. Wounds heal faster if licked by a dog. Many would probably scoff at this idea, but this was
actually followed by many, decades ago. They believed that a dog’s lick would make the healing
process faster.
4. If you get wounded during a high tide, it is considered bad luck. Because of the high tide, it is
believed that the wound would gush out a lot of blood.
5. Eye Sore, or pink eyes, is best healed with breastmilk.
