    hysical 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.

    For example, mental illness, such as depression, may increase the risk of
    drug use disorders, according to a 2008 studyTrusted Source. This can go on
    to adversely affect physical health.
    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.
