Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Health

Health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in which an individual is able to lead a fulfilling and productive life. It is not just the absence of disease or illness, but rather a holistic concept that encompasses a wide range of factors that contribute to overall well-being.

In the healthcare setting, health is often the primary focus of care. Healthcare professionals work to promote, maintain, and restore health by providing a range of services, including diagnosis and treatment of health conditions, preventive care, and ongoing management of chronic conditions. They may also provide education and support to help individuals adopt healthy behaviors and lifestyles that can improve and maintain their health.

Maintaining good health involves a combination of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and access to quality healthcare. It is important for individuals to take steps to protect and maintain their health, such as by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting regular check-ups and screenings.
