HEALTH-DYNAMIC IN NATURE



Health is dynamic in nature.It is not an abstract thing but a relative concept.It is the physical and mental fitness to do socialized daily tasks.It is a personal strength or ability. The state of being hale, sound, or whole, in body, mind, or soul; especially, the state of being free from physical disease or pain. Health is a resource for everyday life,not the object of living.It is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities. Health is a dynamic condition resulting from a body's constant adjustment and adaptation in response to stresses and changes in the environment for maintaining an innerequilibrium called  homeostasis. In the medical field, health is commonly defined as an organism's ability to efficiently respond to challenges (stressors) and effectively restore and sustain a "state of balance."

The fullest sense of health is continuously influenced by different external and internal variables such as diet,exercise,tension,etc.For instance,at the beginning of the school hours one may be healthy but after a couple of hours he/she may be sick due to the body’s imbalance with the school environment.Thus, our state of health is not static.
Health is the level of functional and (or) metabolic efficiency of a living being. In human, it is the general condition of a person  in mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to being free from illness,injury or pain   The  WHO defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health depends partially on the active, passive, and assisted cues people observe and adopt about their own health.
The WHO’s definition indicates about the supreme health state.But it has been criticized as being too broad.A healthy person is defined by WHO can hardly be found in the world.However,it encourages people to achieve positive health.
There are certain factors that continuously influence the health of a person.The more these factors are in favour of an individual,the more he/she goes closer  to the fullest sense of health.In order to have good health,we shouldkeep these conditions in our favour.Health has been a prime concern of humanity since the dawn of history.
In conclusion,the health of a person depends on various factors such as environmental conditions,personal habits,exercise,diet,level of tension,etc.If we maintain balance in the above mentioned variables,we will be able to achieve good health in life.
