Health
Health is a standard of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, generally meaning to be free from sickness, injuries or pain (such as "good health" or "healthy"). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in the broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, emotional, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." However this definition has been subject to controversy, particularly as lacking functional value and because of the issue developed by use of the word "complete", this is still the most enduring. Classification techniques like the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are generally useful to define and calculate the components of health.
The upkeep and promotion of health is achieved through various mix off physical, mental, and social well-being, together sometimes referred to as the "health triangle". The WHO's 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion further mentioned which health is not only a state, but also "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, and also physical capabilities."
Systematic activities to prevent or treat health issues and encourage good health in humans are carried out by health care providers. Programs regarding animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences. The word "healthy" can also widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their impacts to the benefit of humans, such as in the sense of healthy communities, healthy cities or healthy environments. In addition to health care interventions and a person's surroundings, a number of other factors are known to impact the health status of individuals, which include their background, lifestyle, and economic and social conditions; these are referred to as "determinants of health".
Following are most important things in Health:
Beauty
Beauty (also known as prettiness, loveliness or comeliness) is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of joy or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely related to beauty in a specific tradition, for perfection.
The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which might lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Since this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
There is evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionarily determined, that things, aspects of persons and landscapes considered beautiful are usually found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's genes.
Diet
In nutrition, diet is the amount of food consumed by a person or other organism. Eating habits are the habitual decisions a person or tradition can make when choosing what food items to eat. With the word diet, is often implied the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons. Even though people are omnivores, each tradition and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos, due to personal preferences or ethical reasons. Personal dietary choices may be more or less healthy.
Proper nutrition needs ingestion and absorption of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and food energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, vegetable oils, and fats. Dietary habits and options perform an important role in quality of life, health and longevity, and can define cultures and play a role in religion.
Disease
A disease can be an abnormal condition which affects the body of an organism. It is usually construed to be a medical condition related to particular symptoms and signs. It could be caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, or it could be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used more commonly to refer to any problem that causes pain, disorder, distress, social problems, or death to the individual afflicted, or similar problems for people in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts as well as for other uses these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually impact people not just physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can alter one's perspective on life, and their character.
Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. You will find four main types of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease.
Diseases may also be classified as communicable and non-communicable disease.
Fitness
Fitness comprises two relevant principles: general fitness (a state of health and well-being), and particular fitness (a task-oriented classification based on the capability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations). Health and fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, and enough rest.
Health and fitness has been defined as a group of attributes or characteristics that people have or achieve that relates to the ability to conduct physical activity.The above explanation from Physical Activity and Health: A Report of the Surgeon General is one of common currently used meaning of physical fitness. It was originally used by Caspersen and has been used widely.An alternative definition by Howley and Frank that provides additional descriptive information is: Physical fitness is a state of well-being with low risk of premature health problems and energy to take part in a variety of physical activities. While either is a good definition, most experts agree that physical fitness is both multidimensional and hierarchical.
In earlier years, fitness was commonly defined as the capability to carry out the day?s activities with out undue fatigue. However, as automation increased leisure time, changes in life styles following the industrial revolution rendered this definition not sufficient. In current contexts, physical fitness is considered a measure of the body?s ability to function efficiently and effectively at work and leisure time activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic disorders, and to fulfill emergency situations.
Health is metabolic efficiency. Sickness is metabolic inefficiency. Nobody is completely healthy or totally sick. All of us is a unique combination of health and sickness. And each of us has a unique combination of capabilities and disabilities, both emotional and physical.
