    Hi There, The World Health Organization (WHO) describes a widely accepted definition of health, which states that "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Lately, this statement has been modified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life." The LaLonde report suggested that there are four general determinants of health which he called: # Human biology # Environment # Lifestyle # Healthcare organization Thus, health is maintained through the science and practice of medicine, but can also be improved by individual effort. Examples of steps to improve one's health: # Physical fitness # Weight loss # A healthy diet # Stress management training # Stopping smoking and other substance abuse Hope it helps
