HEALTH


WHO defines health as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity'.
Simply the health is the state in which the human is free from discomfort and is physically well.
It consists of two aspects- physical and mental health.
PHYSICAL HEALTH is related to the physical fitness that is obtained through regular exercise, proper balanced diet and nutritious food.
MENTAL HEALTH is related to the absence of mental disorder and emotional well-being. WHO defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community”
