I always exercise, therefore I'm healthy
Large number of people today think that I'm able to eat, sleep and work, therefore, I am very healthy. Is this thought true?
The truth is, if we are thin, it does not mean that we have total health. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. After I read the statement for the first time, I thought that it is impossible to achieve physical, mental and social well-being at the same time, so every person on earth is in bad shape. In my mind, this is not achievable, this statement is rubish.
After a while, I finally get to know the statement above is achievable because physical, menal health and social well being are totally related to each other. How is it related? Lets imagine now that our physical body suffer from illnesses. When our body sick, we will feel uncomfortable from our physical body. Imagine when our body feel uncomfortable, will we be able to control our anger when things not going our way? The answer of course if no. And when our body is suffer, our mental suffer. When our mental suffer, we will be able to achieve social well being.
Imagine now our body is healthy, we feel great all the time, therefore we have good mental and with good body health and mental health, we automatically achieve social well-being.
