Explanation:

To answer the question about negative health impacts of holidays, we can consider two aspects: 1) Overeating during holidays (like excessive sugar or fat intake) which affects physical health (e.g., weight gain, digestive issues). 2) Stress from holiday preparations (shopping, hosting) which impacts mental health (anxiety, fatigue). For the dimension, overeating is physical health, stress is mental or emotional health. Another example: Lack of sleep due to holiday events (physical health) and feeling isolated if alone (emotional/mental health).

Answer:

Two ways holidays might negatively impact health: 1. Overeating (e.g., too many sweets) affecting physical health (weight gain, indigestion). 2. Stress from planning/hosting affecting mental health (anxiety, fatigue). Dimensions: Physical (for overeating) and Mental/Emotional (for stress).
