Respuesta
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.
‘a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.’
‘Good health implies the achievement of a dynamic balance between individuals or groups and their environment. To the individual, good health means improved quality of life, less sickness and disability, a happier personal, family, and social existence, and the opportunity to make choices in work and recreation. To the community, good health means a higher standard of living, greater participation in making and implementing community health policies, and reduced health-care costs.’
