Today is World Health Day

Health is a long-term investment in your well-being and quality of life.

Health is a state of comprehensive well-being that includes the physical, mental, emotional and social well-being of an individual. It is a condition in which an individual is able to live a full and productive life without illness, injury or other problems that would interfere with daily activities.

Health is a broad range of factors that affect an individual’s well-being and quality of life. Health care should be a priority for every individual and society as a whole.

With small but consistent lifestyle adjustments, you can significantly improve your health and well-being.

Important aspects of health include:

Physical health – this refers to the general condition of the body, including vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and body weight. Physical health also includes physical fitness, muscle strength, flexibility and endurance.

Mental health – the ability to cope with emotions, stressful situations, and life challenges. Mental health includes feeling of well-being, self-confidence, ability to concentrate, learning, and memory.

Emotional health – includes the ability to develop healthy relationships with others, feeling connected, empathy, understanding, and expressing emotions in a positive way.

Social health – this refers to the quality of an individual’s relationships and interactions with others in society. It includes the ability to communicate, collaborate, adapt and integrate into the community.

Care for the environment – the health of an individual also depends on the environment in which he lives. A clean environment, access to clean drinking water, safe food and adequate housing contribute to overall health and well-being.
