An Overview Of The Relationship Between Well-Being And Health

Health is a condition of total physical, emotional and social well being in which infirmity and illness are absent. Over the years, various definitions have also been applied for various purposes. In some cases the definition of health has been expanded to include conditions that were not previously regarded as belonging to health. It is in this wide-ranging category of conditions that mental health has been recognized and given more definition.

Mental health refers to one’s ability to live his life well, including his ability to enjoy his relationships, manage work and his personal affairs, and cope with stress and emotional distress. It also involves the ability to work productively and at reasonable levels. A person who meets these standards has what we call “well-being”. This implies that he has good health conditions, even if he might be slightly susceptible to health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other types of chronic diseases.

The concept of public health and well-being has become increasingly important in the present day, as more people are becoming conscious of their health conditions and are demanding better public health services as well as better nutritional and lifestyle choices. In fact, there have been studies that show that poor health outcomes can eventually lead to worse physical outcomes, such as higher blood pressure rates, higher cholesterol levels, higher blood sugar levels, and other medical conditions. A healthy diet and exercise regimen may provide many of the necessary benefits without causing too much stress on the individual, allowing him or her to be able to better handle stress. Similarly, an active lifestyle can go a long way toward easing tension and preventing health problems. Overall, it has been found that there is considerable correlation between the quality of life and overall health and wellness, and people who have greater resources, such as family members, friends, and access to good health care, live longer and are less likely to develop serious health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and other life threatening ailments.
