" Health is a state of physical , mental and social well being ."
We have heard the word "health" used quite frequently all around us .We use it ourselves as well , when we say things like my grandmothers health is not good or our teachers use it saying , this is not a healthy attitude . What does the word health mean ?
If we think about it , we realise that it is the idea of "being well " . For our grandmothers being able to go out to the market or to visit neighbours is being well and not being able to do so is poor heath . Being interested in teaching in the classroom is a healthy attitude , while not being interested is called the opposite . Health is therefore a state of being well enough to function well physically , mentally & socially .
We have seen that cells are the basic units of living beings . Each living cell is a dynamic place . Something or the other is always happening .Cells move from place to place . Even in cells that do not move , there is repair going on . New cells are being made . In our organs or tissues , there are specialised activities going on ---- the heart is beating , the lungs are breathing , the kidney is filtering urine , the brain is thinking . All these activities are interconnected . For all these activities , energy & raw materials are needed from outside the body .
Therefore we must take proper care of our diet , the food we eat . It is in this context that we look at the significance of health . Maintaining good health is very important for us & for that an individual is dependent on his/her physical surroundings and his/her economic status .So realise the significance of being healthy as it really matters .
