From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Healthy is a term that refers to the state of being free from illness or injury. It is often used to describe a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a generally active lifestyle. The concept of health is complex and multifaceted, encompassing physical, mental, and social well-being.

Definition[edit | edit source]

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition emphasizes the importance of overall well-being, including mental and social aspects, in addition to physical health.

Physical Health[edit | edit source]

Physical health refers to the state of the body and its systems. It involves the absence of disease and the fitness of the body to perform daily activities without undue fatigue. Physical health can be maintained and improved through regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate rest, and regular medical check-ups.

Mental Health[edit | edit source]

Mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how people think, feel, and act. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Mental illnesses are common, and they can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, social status, or ethnicity.

Social Health[edit | edit source]

Social health involves a person's ability to interact with others and maintain satisfying relationships. It includes the ability to adapt to social situations and behave appropriately. Social health can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the quality of relationships, social support, and community involvement.

Healthy Lifestyle[edit | edit source]

A healthy lifestyle involves a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and avoidance of harmful habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It also includes maintaining a positive mental attitude and having regular medical check-ups to detect health problems early.
