As you have learned throughout this unit, our health and physiology are impacted by many environmental factors and our personal decisions — including the food we eat, our personal choices, and our surrounding environment, among other factors. As a reminder, you have explored the following topics in this unit:

How climate change can affect and disrupt physiological processes.

How air pollution is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

How diet affects our microbiome, and subsequently influences physiology.

How community factors influence health.

How race is a determinant in maternal and child health.

How communicable diseases like COVID-19 spread and how vaccines work.

How different factors affect our stress response.

• In this assignment, you will write an essay demonstrating what you have learned over the past several weeks.
