Physical Health
Physical health is very essential to achieve wellness in other health
dimensions. In order to achieve physical health, you must take good care of
yourself by doing regular physical activities or exercises, eat a balanced
diet, drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. You must also practice
proper hygiene and regularly visit the doctor for medical and dental check-
ups. Destructive habits must be avoided such as smoking, drinking alcoholic
drinks and taking dangerous drugs and harmful substances. These
destructive habits can cause unhealthy situations or circumstances.
Mental Health
The ability to make sound decisions and critical thinking is part of mental
health. These include determination of continuous personal growth,
willingness to effectively learn new things and use new information for
personal, family and career growth.

The dimensions of health are related to each other. They are equally
important to attain holistic health. For instance, an individual who is
affected with his/her physical appearance will likewise be affected
emotionally as he/she may feel insecure. Worrying leads to anxiety which
affects his/her mental health. The relationship between family and friends
may be affected also when he/she tries to isolate himself/herself from
others.
A person with holistic health reects how he/she feels about life and his/her
ability to function productively.
