Health

Health is state of physical, mental and social well being. It involves more than just the absence of disease. A truly healthy person not only feels good physically but also has a realistic outlook on life and gets along well with other people. Good health enables people to enjoy life and have the opportunity to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

To achieve and maintain good health, people must have basic knowledge about the human body and how it functions. Only then can they determine what will not help or hurt their health. Therefore, learning about health should be part of every person’s education. Current knowledge about health, together with good living habits can help almost everyone maintain good health and improve the quality of life. Society as a whole benefits from people’s good health just as individuals do. For that reason, many governments and voluntary agencies strive to preserve and improve the health of all people.
