Definition of Health Beyond Disease — NEET Biology

📚 Practice Concept
📖 NCERT Source

The term health is very frequently used by everybody. How do we define it? Health does not simply mean 'absence of disease' or 'physical fitness'. It could be defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. When people are healthy, they are more efficient at work. This increases productivity and brings economic prosperity. Health also increases longevity of people and reduces infant and maternal mortality.
