Health is physical (body) efficiency. Sickness is opposite to health i.e. physical inefficiency. We can say nobody is perfectly healthy or unhealthy. It is not possible to compare a person’s health with other person. Health may be divided in to three parts. 1. Physical health 2. Mental health 3. Emotional health Physical health: Physical health relates to anything of our body organs. The World Heath Organization (WHO) defined physical health as follows. “Health is state of complete mental, social and physical well being and not just the lack of ailment or illness. Later this definition slightly modified and include the ability to run “Social and economical productive life”. In simple way physical health means “physical well being”. Physical health is very important to lead family as well as social life. Mental Health: it refers person’s emotional and cognitive well-being. Person who is mentally sound is mentally health. According to The World Health Organization “A state of well being in which a person understands his own capabilities, and can cope with regular stress life, capable to work fruitfully and productively, and capable to contribute to his family and society. In other way we can say mental health is “absence of mental illness”. In simple way mental health is capability to enjoy life and ability to come out of adversity, capability to felling like safe and secure. Determinants of health: A) Life style & Culture (Living style) B) Environment (Social and economic & physical environment) C) Human biology (Individual characteristics and behaviors) D) Education background E) Job and employment F) Community support G) Genetic inheritance H) Gender I) Utilization of heath care services. Suggestions to improve health: i) Weight balance ii) Suitable diet iii) Punctual food intake iv) Proper sleep v) Physical fitness vi) Stress / Pressure management vii) Avoiding smoke and alcohol A person to be happy physical and mental health is very important. Emotional health: Apart from Mental and Physical health “emotional fitness” also important. Therefore I think it is right place to mention about emotional fitness. Our brain controls mental and emotional conditions. So a person suffers physically will also suffers both mentally and emotionally. Emotions are related to neuro-hormonal reactions. For instance somebody abuse you, you gets anger on the person who scolds you this is knows as emotional reaction this kind of situations leads to emotional unhealthy conditions. Points about emotional healthy person: • Capable to regulate physical and mental response against emotions • Capable of reacting with correct emotional response. • Able to express proper/right emotions So far we have discussed about Physical, mental and emotional health separately for better understanding. But actually physical, mental and emotional health is not separate entities. A person can not have healthy mind with out having sound health in physical and emotionally. Similarly we can’t say person is physically sound when he is not sound in mental and emotional. I sincerely advise readers to give top priority to health, if one is healthy can do anything, if not healthy not possible to do anything. Hope after reading the article you will realize and will take care of your health. |
