Health

Health refers to the overall state of physical, mental, and social well-being of an individual. It encompasses the absence of disease or illness and includes the ability to lead a socially and economically productive life. Health is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices (such as diet and exercise), environmental conditions, and access to medical care. It is often measured through physical examinations, medical tests, and personal health assessments.

In a broader context, health can also refer to the condition of communities and populations, emphasizing collective health indicators such as life expectancy, morbidity, and quality of life. The concept of health is multidimensional and includes aspects such as mental health (emotional and psychological well-being), social health (the ability to form satisfying interpersonal relationships), and environmental health (the impact of the environment on health).

Promoting health involves creating conditions that enable individuals and communities to maintain and improve their health through healthy lifestyle choices, preventive healthcare, and supportive environments. Recognizing health as a dynamic state encourages a proactive approach to well-being and emphasizes the importance of preventive measures, education, and health literacy.
