What’s the definition of healthy life style?
A healthy lifestyle is one that focuses on incorporating the eight aspects of wellbeing into one’s life (emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual).
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Not only is the absence of disease a sign of having a healthy lifestyle, but also the ability to function at an optimal level of productivity is indicative of it.
Why is a healthy lifestyle so important?
Not only is health important to a person at the individual level, but also it contributes to the advancement of society if more people are performing closer to their fullest potential. For more information on how to achieve a healthy lifestyle, please see the rest of this pamphlet.
