What is Health ????

Healthi

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This means that a person is considered ‘healthy’ when she/he is:

✱ Physically fit✱ Mentally stable✱ Able to function peacefully and effectively in society✱ Able to perform daily functions at home and at work.✱ Able to live a socially and economically productive, satisfied life.

It is essential to understand that ‘health’ does not only mean not having an illness.It is much more. Many Asian cultures believe that “health” means a ”sound mind,in a sound body, in a sound family, in a sound environment”.

“Health” is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.  We should remember that for good health, it is important to ensure adequate attention is paid to the body, mind, family and environment.  The human body has a wonderful mechanism to maintain good health. If the person takes appropriate actions, he/she is less likely to fall sick. However, if illness does occur, proper management, including medical care where necessary, can help the body heal itself.
