Health refers to the overall physical, mental, and social well-being of an individual, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It encompasses various dimensions, including physical fitness, mental stability, emotional balance, and social connections. Health is influenced by a combination of genetic factors, environmental conditions, lifestyle choices, and access to medical care. Good health is characterized by the ability to lead a fulfilling life, engage in daily activities, and cope with challenges. In public health contexts, health can also refer to the collective well-being of populations, including the prevalence of diseases and the effectiveness of health systems. Promoting health involves preventive measures, healthy habits, and supportive policies to enhance quality of life and reduce health disparities.
