What are health risks?

Health risks are things that can make you feel sick or hurt if you're not careful.

Imagine your body is like a toy box, it has all kinds of toys (like your heart, lungs, and brain) that help you play and have fun every day. Health risks are like sneaky little bugs that try to mess up your toy box. If they get in, they might make your toys stop working as well, or even break them.

Sometimes, health risks are things you can see or touch, like eating too much candy before bed, which might give you a tummy ache. Other times, they're invisible, like germs that live on the playground and make you sneeze or cough.

You can keep your toy box in good shape by doing things like washing your hands, eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, and playing outside. These are like special tools that help you fight off those sneaky bugs and keep your body strong and happy.
