Health

Health refers to the overall state of an individual’s physical, mental, and social well-being. It encompasses not just the absence of disease or illness, but also the presence of positive factors that contribute to a fulfilling and active life. Health is commonly understood through various dimensions, including physical health (the functioning of the body and its systems), mental health (emotional and psychological well-being), and social health (the ability to form satisfying interpersonal relationships and adapt to social situations).

Maintaining health involves a combination of proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, mental health support, and preventive healthcare practices. Health can be influenced by a combination of genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and access to healthcare services. The World Health Organization (WHO) underscores that health is a fundamental human right, essential for individual productivity and societal development. Good health enables individuals to lead active lives, engage in work and community activities, and pursue personal goals, thereby contributing to the overall quality of life.
