What is health?
Now ever wondered what is health? what is fitness? what is being healhty means?
Well if you ask the same question to 10 different people,I am sure u will get atleast 7-8 different answers and you will agree to all of them.
So now what does health includes? Are all the people correct or some of them or none?
If you ask a footballer,he will say health means being fit and active enough to play 90 mins of football and if you ask a basket ball player,he/she will say it means being fit enough to make long jumps and being quick and energetic.And if you ask some yogi of India,he will connect it to some spirituall thing and will add
some yoga excercises to it and will stress on the flexibility,and inner strength of the body.
Well health as mentioned in wikipedia is as follows,
"Health is the general condition of a person in all aspects. It is also a level of functional and/or metabolic efficiency of an organism, often implicitly human."
At the time of the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1948, health was defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity"
Now by that what do you think? does that means you should be able to run a lot or play a lot or that you stomach should protude out?
Its the general condition of the body,it includes everything of you body,an average size or fat person may not be regarded as healthy but a thin person maybe healthy.According to me a person being healthy means the body should support what a person wants to do and when he wants to do and to avoid
falling ill.Yes now that doesnt mean that you can run,walk,jump so your healthy,but it means at every point of time and place you body should be able to do every work that is required,work just doesnt include physical.It includes mental work too.Despite staying not ill it also includes managin stress also.
Overall health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, which, together is commonly referred to as the Health Triangle.
Well according to me,i prefer to achieve general health more over being specific to certain areas as professionals do.The common man must maintain all the aspects of health.
