Health

Health is a term that refers to the state of being physically, mentally, and socially sound, according to the World Health Organization. It is not simply the absence of illness or disability. Over time, various definitions have been used for different purposes. Health can be improved by engaging in healthy activities like regular exercise and sufficient sleep, while avoiding unhealthy ones like smoking or excessive stress. Some health factors result from individual choices, such as risky behaviors, while others are structural, such as access to healthcare services. Additionally, some factors affecting health are beyond the control of both individuals and groups, such as genetic disorders.
