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


The English word "health" comes from the Old English word hale, meaning "wholeness, a being whole, sound or well,".

Some interdependent factors which can determine/effect our health can be:
  • Where we live
  • The state of our environment
  • Genetics
  • Our income
  • Our education level
  • Our relationship with friends and family
They can also be characterised under:
  • Lifestyle : Its in our control;our social circle;what we do,what we eat,a person's decisions and behavior.
  • Environmental conditions :Individual has little or no control over it;the place we live,the air we breathe,chemical exposure etc.
  • Biomedical : Whether physical or mental,our genetics(traits inherited from our parents) contribute to our health.
To understand our health we must understand ourself.Each individual is different,with different abilities and disabilities,let it be emotional or physical.Accept yourself the way you are..whether others do or not..when we learn to accept ourselves,we learn to take care of our health.
