Good physical health is when your body is functioning as it was designed to function. Working out and dieting is a part of being physically healthy. I try to work out almost every day to keep myself healthy because my eating habits are not too good.
Social health: The characteristics of social health are just physically being able to communicate with others and have some type of relationship such as a friendship or acquaintance. Social health is how you get along with other people, how other people react to you, and how you interact with society.

I feel like having friends and spending some time with are good for people like me who work full time and attend school.
