Health
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and does not consist only of the absence of disease or infirmity. This definition of the World Health Organization classifies 70-95% of people as ill.
A deeper inquiry into the definition reveals that what makes a sound cell is unique from what makes a sound organism. Similarly, what makes a sound organism is unique from what makes a sound population. To illustrate this point, consider that Japan has the greatest life expectancy of any nation, despite having one of the highest smoking rates, especially among men.
The most solid aspects of wellness that fit firmly in the realm of medicine are the environment, nutrition, disease prevention, and public health matters that can be investigated and assist in measuring well-being.
Frequent and regular exercise has been shown to help prevent or to improve major illnesses such as high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, insomnia, cancer, and depression, among others. Exercise can also increase energy and raise your threshold for pain.
Aerobic exercise confers many benefits. It burns calories very effectively and, if performed regularly, can also increase the basal metabolic rate, both of which aid in weight loss.
