A. DEFINITION
Health is the level of functional and (or) metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person in mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in good health or healthy). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The maintenance and promotion of health is Achieved through different combination of physical, mental, and social wellbeing, together sometimes referred to as the health triangle. B. THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT OUR HEALTH. It is now well established that, on average, people with higher levels of income, education, and social provision live longer and are healthier than those with lower income and lesser social positions (Healthier Societies 2006,Heymann Hertzman, Barer and Evans). When we think about our health, the first thing that usually springs to mind is being treated by the NHS for illness. But our health isnt just about treatment its directly or indirectly affected by many factors: * Parents, age and sex * Lifestyle * Society, family and friends * Living and working conditions * Culture, the environment and the economy These factors taken together are the basis for what is called Public Health. The diagram below helps to explain what factors can affect your health.

C.THE WAYS TO KEEP HEALTH.

* Three good things Keep some paper and a pen by your bedside and every night for a week write down three good things that happened to you that day. By the end of the week you may be surprised at how much more positive you feel. Some psychologists say that it's human nature to focus on the negative aspects of our lives. What this technique helps to do is re-educate us to pay attention to the good and positive things in our lives. * Ask for help Anyone can feel low or get depressed so, if you need help, don't be afraid to ask. Seeking help early is the best course of action to help prevent a problem getting worse. Asking for help is a sign of strength and responsibility, not weakness. * Set yourself realistic goals Rome wasn't built in a day. Even the most ambitious and complex tasks can be broken down into smaller, more manageable chunks. Setting realistic, achievable goals is a good way of keeping spirits up and keeping moving forward. Write down what they are and when you hope to have them completed. Don't feel bad if you have to change your plans along the way as long as you're clear on the reasons why. Remember to congratulate yourself every time a goal is reached! * Get involved Don't stand on the sidelines! Find a way to get involved and make a contribution, however little, at home, at work or in the community. People are often happiest when helping others. * Keep an eye on personal stress Some pressure is unavoidable - and some can be motivating - but stress is harmful to both mental and physical wellbeing (stress is when pressures exceed our ability to cope). If you find you're not sleeping, becoming ill-tempered, having difficulty concentrating, worrying a lot, eating a lot more or a lot less, or feeling 'on edge' all the time then you should take a step back and consider how much pressure you are under.
