Also in line with that educated people will tend to have much social connection that results from their schoolmates. The social connection plays an important role in building and individual self-esteem. With high esteem, one is assured of having a healthy life.

Health behavior contributes much to how patients make the decision and choices for themselves and the community. Education will affect the way one reason and addresses issue in normal life.

Educated people will have the advantage of going through different health curriculum on the cause of their study. With this, they can be able to critically assess the different options that they have towards having a healthy life. It is with this that educated people can be able to follow health guidelines that are put across. Also, it becomes easy to control their health condition as they can easily communicate with the doctors. They ease the burden of health practitioners as they can understand their language. With the kind of ability that the individual has to handle different health decisions, healthy lives become a guarantee.

Healthy neighborhoods are a guarantee for healthy lives for individuals. Educated people will tend to have income and resources that can assure them of healthy neighborhoods. With high education, individuals can live in health centers. The centers provide individuals with access to better health options. It includes a majority of stores that they can walk in and purchase healthy meals. Also, such healthy places will have runways that can allow individuals to move along and exercise their bodies (Doyle, 2011). In addition to that educated individuals who live in better neighborhoods are guaranteed security. Hence one is not exposed to the dangers of being harmed with thugs that are a threat to their lives. The individual in such neighborhoods is also stress-free based on the condition that they are surrounded. It is much better and healthy neighborhoods that contribute to better lives by the individuals.

Education guarantees one of the healthy lives as they benefit from high income and resources, social and psychological benefits, health behaviors, and healthy neighborhoods. All these are the basis of a better life that means a healthy life. It is no doubt that education and health are directly related.
