Good health means different things to different people. This is because there are different ways of looking at health.
Health and well being can be described as the absence of physical illness, disease and mental distress. This is a negative definition.
It can be described as the achievement and maintenance of physical fitness and mental stability. This is a positive definition.
Health and well being are the result of a combination of physical, social, intellectual and emotional factors. This is a holistic definition.
Key word: holistic - to look at the whole; to consider the whole person.

‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.’
