Abstract: Abstract Health is fundamental to the comprehensive development of adolescents. To align with the educational policies of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and foster students’ overall growth, it’s crucial to enhance students’ health literacy. Colleges and universities should strengthen health education to effectively cultivate talent. In the present work, a survey is conducted to assess students’ health knowledge, lifestyle choices, and practical health skills. The findings reveal that students lack a thorough understanding of health and possess limited practical health skills. To improve students’ health literacy, a comprehensive health education system is necessary to increase the effectiveness of health education. This can be achieved by optimizing physical education courses and innovating their content. Additionally, we should also develop online education platforms to enrich health education methods.
