Health

Health refers to the overall state of an individual’s physical, mental, and social well-being, rather than merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It encompasses various dimensions, including physical health (the body’s functioning and absence of diseases), mental health (emotional, psychological, and social well-being), and social health (the ability to form satisfying interpersonal relationships and adapt to social situations).

Health is influenced by a range of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices (such as diet and exercise), environment, and access to healthcare. It is often assessed through a variety of indicators, such as life expectancy, disease prevalence, and quality of life.

Promoting health involves initiatives and practices that encourage healthy behaviors, improve health care access, and create environments conducive to well-being. Public health efforts aim to prevent diseases, prolong life, and enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities. Health is recognized as a fundamental human right and is essential for personal development, social interactions, and economic productivity.
