Good Health

Good health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. Physical health means a good body health. Another term for physical health is physical wellbeing, which is something a person can achieve by developing all health-related components of his/her lifestyle. Fitness reflects a person's cardio respiratory endurance, muscular strength, flexibility and body composition. Other contributors to physical wellbeing include proper nutrition, bodyweight management, drug abuse, avoiding alcohol, responsible sexual behavior, hygiene and good sleep.

Mental health refers to people's emotional well-being. A person who enjoys good mental health will not have a mental disorder. Mental health is "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. Mental health includes the ability to enjoy life, the ability to bounce back from adversity, the ability to achieve balance (moderation), the ability to be flexible and adapt and the ability to feel safe and secure.
