Health

Health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in which an individual is free from illness or injury. It encompasses a holistic approach to living, where not only the absence of disease is considered, but also overall quality of life and the ability to lead an active and fulfilling life. Health can be influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, environment, lifestyle choices, and access to healthcare. It is often viewed in two main dimensions: physical health, which refers to the proper functioning of the body and its systems, and mental health, which involves emotional and psychological well-being. Maintaining good health is essential for individuals and communities, as it impacts productivity, quality of life, and longevity. Public health initiatives aim to improve health outcomes at the population level through prevention, education, and access to necessary medical services.
