Health Defined


The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This simply means; eating right, exercising, and sleeping well play an equal role in the prevention of infections and diseases. However, a good sense of self, and a health support network, and the potential for continued personal growth is also important to our well-being.
Many of us are not in control of the factors that cause us to become ill whether they are genetic, environmental, or something else entirely. There are many avenues we can take to improving our health, which include the use of natural and modern medicines when we are ill.
However, most people cannot access or afford proper health care such as healthy sanitation and hygiene, which is necessary to prevent the spread of disease.
