YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT
Good health and long life is a dream of everyone! This is a fact because no one will want to die willingly. However, certain behaviors, beliefs, life-styles, etc stand as a hindrance to longevity.
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans, it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges.
According to the WHO, health is defined in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social wee-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity''.
Science plays a major role with regards to health.
Health science is the branch of science focused on health. There are two main approaches to health science: the study and research of the body and health-related issues to understand how humans (and animals) function, and the application of that knowledge to improve health and to prevent and cure diseases and other physical and mental impairments.
The science builds on many sub-fields, including biology, biochemistry, physics, epidermiology, pharmacology, medical sociology. Applied health sciences endeavor to better understand and improve human health through applications in areas such as health education, biomedical engineering, biotechnology and public health.
Achieving and maintaining health is an ongoing process, shaped by both the evolution of health care knowledge and practices as well as personal strategies and organized interventions for staying healthy. Thus, a person becomes his or herself's first personal doctor!!
