Health&well-being:
Health and well-being can change over time and vary between different cultures and life stages.
Health and well-being can be described as the absence of physical illness, disease and mental distress. This is a negative definition of health and well-being.
Health and well-being can be described as the achievement and maintenance of physical fitness and mental stability. This is a positive definition of health and well-being.
