What is Health?(课程导入)

               Health


A. Definition

     As defined by World Health Organization (WHO), it is a "State of complete physical, mental, and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Health is a dynamic condition resulting from a body's constant adjustment and adaptation in response to stresses and changes in the environment for maintaining an inner equilibrium called homeostasis.

     “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”The word health refers to a state of complete emotional and physical well-being. 

In 1986, the WHO made further clarifications:

    “A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.”

     This means that health is a resource to support an individual’s function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. A healthful lifestyle provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.

     Good health is central to handling stress and living a longer, more active life. 

B. Types

        Mental and physical health are probably the two most frequently discussed types of health.

Spiritual, emotional, and financial health also contribute to overall health. Medical experts have linked these to lower stress levels and improved mental and physical well-being. People with better financial health, for example, may worry less about finances and have the means to buy fresh food more regularly. Those with good spiritual health may feel a sense of calm and purpose that fuels good mental health.

Physical health

    A person who has good physical health is likely to have bodily functions and processes working at their peak. This is not only due not only to an absence of disease. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest all contribute to good health. People receive medical treatment to maintain the balance, when necessary.

     Physical well-being involves pursuing a healthful lifestyle to decrease the risk of disease. Maintaining physical fitness, for example, can protect and develop the endurance of a person’s breathing and heart function, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.

    Looking after physical health and well-being also involves reducing the risk of an injury or health issue, such as:

minimizing hazards in the workplace

using contraception when having sex

practicing effective hygiene

avoiding the use of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs

taking the recommended vaccines for a specific condition or country when traveling

Good physical health can work in tandem with mental health to improve a person’s overall quality of life.

Mental health

    According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, mental health refers to a person’s emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Mental health is as important as physical health as part of a full, active lifestyle.

      It is harder to define mental health than physical health because many psychological diagnoses depend on an individual’s perception of their experience.With improvements in testing, however, doctors are now able to identify some physical signs of some types of mental illness in CT scans and genetic tests.

      Good mental health is not only categorized by the absence of depression, anxiety, or another disorder. It also depends on a person’s ability to:

enjoy life

bounce back after difficult experiences and adapt to adversity

balance different elements of life, such as family and finances

feel safe and secure

achieve their full potential

       Physical and mental health have strong connections. For example, if a chronic illness affects a person’s ability to complete their regular tasks, it may lead to depression and stress. These feelings could be due to financial problems or mobility issues.A mental illness, such as depression or anorexia, can affect body weight and overall function.

        It is important to approach “health” as a whole, rather than as a series of separate factors. All types of health are linked, and people should aim for overall well-being and balance as the keys to good health.
