Health

Health is a level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In human beings, it is the common condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in "good health" or "healthy"). The World Health Organization (WHO) described health in the broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, emotional, and social wellbeing and never simply the absence of disease or infirmity." However this particular definition have been subject to controversy, particularly as lacking functional value and because of the problem developed by use of the word "complete", it remains the most enduring. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are generally used to define and calculate the components of health.

The upkeep and promotion of health is achieved through various mix off physical, mental, and social well-being, together sometimes referred to as the "health triangle". The WHO's 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion additionally mentioned which health is not just a state, but also "a resource for daily life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive theory emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities."

Organized activities to avoid or cure health issues and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers. Programs with regard to animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences. The word "healthy" can also widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their impacts for the benefit of people, such as in the sense of healthy communities, healthy cities or healthy environments. As well as health care interventions and a person's surroundings, a number of other aspects are proven to influence the health status of individuals, which include their background, lifestyle, and economic and social conditions; these are referred to as "determinants of health".

Following are most important things in Health:

Beauty

Beauty (also known as prettiness, loveliness or comeliness) is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that gives a perceptual experience of joy or satisfaction. Beauty is researched within aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is really an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a specific tradition, for perfection.

The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to emotions of attraction and emotional well-being. Since this is a subjective experience, it is usually said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

There may be evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionarily determined, that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's genes.

Diet

In nutrition, diet is the amount of food consumed by a person or other organism. Dietary habits are the habitual decisions a person or culture can make when choosing what food items to eat. With the word diet, is usually implied the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons. Even though humans are omnivores, every tradition and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos, because of personal tastes or honest reasons. Personal dietary choices can be more or less healthy.

Proper nutrition requires ingestion and absorption of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and food energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, vegetable oils, and fats. Dietary habits and options perform an important part in well being, health and longevity, and can define cultures and may play a role in religion.

Disease

A disease is an abnormal condition which affects the body of an organism. It is usually construed to be a medical condition related to specific indications and signs. It could be caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, or it could be caused by inner complications, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used more commonly to refer to any problem that causes pain, disorder, distress, social issues, or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. Within this wider sense, it sometimes includes accidents, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases generally impact persons not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can modify one's perspective on life, and their personality.

Death because of disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main kinds of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease.

Diseases may also be classified as communicable and non-communicable disease.

Fitness

Fitness comprises two relevant principles: general fitness (a state of health and wellbeing), and specific fitness (a task-oriented definition based on the capability to perform certain aspects of sports or work). Health and fitness is normally achieved through proper nutrition, exercise, and enough relax.

Health and fitness has been defined as a group of attributes or characteristics that people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical exercise.The above mentioned meaning from Physical Activity and Health: A study of the Surgeon General is one of common currently used definition of physical fitness. It was originally used by Caspersen and it has been used extensively.An alternate definition by Howley and Frank that gives additional descriptive information is: Physical fitness is a state of well-being with lower risk of earlier health problems and energy to participate in various physical activities. When either is a good definition, most specialists agree that physical fitness is both multidimensional and hierarchical.

In previous years, fitness was generally defined as the capacity to handle the day’s activities with out undue fatigue. However, as automation increased leisure time, changes in life styles following the industrial revolution rendered this definition not sufficient. In current contexts, physical fitness is known as a measure of the body’s capability to function efficiently and effectively at work and leisure time activities, to become healthy, to resist hypokinetic disorders, and to meet emergency situations.

Health is metabolic efficiency. Sickness is metabolic inefficiency. No one is completely healthy or completely sick. All of us is a unique combination of health and sickness. And each of us has a special combination of abilities and disabilities, both emotional and physical.
