What Is Health?
- by redsaf
Health is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health is influenced by many factors, including the genetic makeup of an individual; their lifestyle and behaviours; and the wider environment in which they live, work and play.
People who have a high level of health are generally more capable of realizing their aspirations, satisfying their needs, and adapting to their environment. They are also more able to cope with the challenges they face and recover from illness. Health is often measured by analyzing the rates of disease, illness and death within a population, or by the amount of time a person spends living with a chronic condition or disability. It can be assessed using a variety of measures, such as life expectancy, mortality rates, incidence (disease prevalence) and comorbidity.
The concept of Health has evolved over the years. There has been a move away from viewing health as a static condition to recognizing it as an active process that can change over time. This shift has occurred because of advances in science, such as developing new treatments for diseases and discovering the cause of many health conditions. This has led to a more dynamic view of health that considers the capacity of individuals and populations to realize their aspirations, meet their needs, and adapt to their environment.
In 1948, the World Health Organization defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or other infirmity.” This definition emphasizes that people’s lives are much more than their medical diagnosis or the absence of symptoms or disease.
A person’s physical health depends on a number of factors, including their body weight, exercise levels, eating habits and sleep patterns. A lack of these can lead to serious diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. People’s emotional and mental health is also important, as it affects their ability to cope with stress and anxiety and to feel happy. They may also suffer from disorders such as depression or anorexia, which can have a negative impact on their physical health by causing them to lose weight and affecting their immune system.
The wider environment in which a person lives can have a significant impact on their health, such as the quality of water and air, their social network, their ability to make healthy choices, and the opportunities available for recreation. It can also have a direct impact on their physical health through the presence of certain germs and pollution.
