HEALTH

In 1946 the World Health Organization defined health with a phrase that modern authorities use,

"Health is a state of complete physical,mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

"A resource for everyday life not the objective of living.Health is a positive concept emphasing social and personal resources as well as physical capacities".

This means that health is a resource to support an individual function in wider society,rather than an end in itself. A beautiful lifestyle provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.

Types:

Mental and physical health are probably the most frequently discussed types of health. Spiritual , emotional and financial health also contribute to overall health. Medical experts have linked these to lower stress levels and improved mental and physical well-being.
