Document Summary
Health issues intro to health and health promotion. The person with worse overall health is defined as the person with the greatest degree of disability. The world health organization defi(cid:374)ed health as a state of co(cid:373)plete physical, (cid:373)e(cid:374)tal, a(cid:374)d social (cid:449)ell- being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health can be seen as a resource for a vital and meaningful life. Health is the ability to realize out aspirations and satisfy our needs. Body size, shape, functioning, susceptibility to disease and the ability to perform activities of daily living (adl), such as getting dressed or feeding oneself. Capacity for satisfying relationships, successful interactions, and communication. Ability to think clearly, reason objectively, and make decisions. Satisfaction from career, career development, and work/life balance.
