Health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease or injury. It involves a balance between the components of the body, mind and society, where the individual is able to perform daily activities, cope with stress and resist disease. Physical health includes a healthy body composition, regular exercise and a balanced diet. Mental health involves emotional stability, stress management and the ability to cope with challenges. Social health involves good interpersonal relationships, including supportive networks and participation in the community.
Health is dynamic and is influenced by genetics, lifestyle, environment, access to healthcare and social factors. Maintaining good health requires awareness of one's own lifestyle, regular health assessment and actions to promote wellness at all levels.
