Description

Physical health has been described as the absence of disease or severe illness. However, modern medicine has changed this point of view in recent years. The World Health Organization (WHO) has expanded the scope of health that includes environments other than disease and sickness.

Physical health is described as the condition of your body, taking into consideration everything from the absence of disease to fitness level. Mental and physical health is closely connected. Poor mental health improves a person's risk of developing chronic physical conditions. Moreover, chronic physical requirements have been linked to a higher risk of poor mental health. This relation is never reduced to physical and mental health. Physical health is interconnected with all other health-related factors. When a person's physical health declines, it frequently causes a decline in other areas. For example, if a person is fighting a major disease, their social health can sometimes suffer. The person will sometimes avoid others due to infectiousness or simply a lack of a desire to be surrounded by others. Sadness, in turn, can lead to a decline in mental and emotional well-being.
