Abstract

This article is the result of an investigative process carried out at José Martí High School in the community of Mesa de Guadalupe, belonging to the State of Veracruz in Mexico; the research aimed to know if the promotion of healthy lifestyles has a positive impact on the behavior of adolescents of said institution. A workshop was developed that was based on a diagnosis made to the adolescents through a questionnaire of lifestyles. The results show that the high risk in the different areas of the questionnaire decreased, so we conclude that the promotion of healthy lifestyles positively impacts adolescents by modifying behaviors and habits that put their health at risk.
