The word “health” refers to a state of complete emotional and physical well-being. Healthcare exists to help people maintain this optimal state of health.

Mental and physical health are the two most commonly discussed types of health. We also talk about “spiritual health,” “emotional health,” and “financial health,” among others.

Physical health
In a person who experiences physical health, bodily functions are working at peak performance, due not only to a lack of disease, but also to regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest.

Mental health
Mental health is the state of balance between the person and his socio-cultural environment that guarantees his/her work, intellectual relations and participation in order to achieve wellbeing and quality of life.

Physical and mental health are linked. If chronic illness affects a person’s ability to complete their regular tasks, this may lead to depression and stress, for example, due to money problems.

Health depends on a wide range of factors.

Access to healthcare plays a role, but the Who suggests that the following factors may have a bigger impact on health than this:

where a person lives

the state of the surrounding environment

genetics

income

education level

relationships with friends and family

The best way to maintain health is to preserve it through a healthful lifestyle, rather than waiting until we are sick to put things right.

This state of enhanced well-being is referred to as wellness.

The McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois IL defines wellness as:

“A state of optimal well-being that is oriented toward maximizing an individual’s potential. This is a life-long process of moving towards enhancing your physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental well-being.”

Steps that can help us maximize our health include:

a balanced, nutritious diet, sourced as naturally as possible

regular exercising

screening for diseases that may present a risk

learning to manage stress

engaging in activities that provide purpose and connection to others

maintaining a positive outlook and appreciating what you have

defining a value system, and putting it into action

The notion of well-being refers to the set of those things that are necessary to live well. Money to satisfy material needs, health, leisure time and harmonious emotional relationships are some of the issues that constitute a person's well-being.
Health means the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. For this reason, well-being is, in general, the state of a person that allows the proper functioning of his psychic and somatic activity.

Bearing in mind that the concept of good is subjective, well-being represents different things depending on the subject in question. Some people may give more importance to the economic factor (for example, well-being would be associated with having a high-end car, a flat-screen TV and designer clothes), while others already associate well-being more with the spiritual ( be at peace with yourself, feel close to God, etc.).
